Alice couldnt believe her own ears. He apologized. HE APOLOGIZED. Was it true?! My goodness. She pinched herself to make sure of it. Ouch! Alice shook her head, making no sense, so nervous.

Not knowing how to react to him, her natural soft side had showed up, quickly. "Oh..Umm.." she trailed off, "It's okay." what is okay? i mean he bullied you right in front of other people. Are you crazy?! Ofcourse she didnt like him, but it wouldnot be fair if she didnt show some manners when he realized his mistake and apologized. And moreover it was Alice. A shy, soft and well-mannered Alice.
