Alice didnt expect this. Him. Torin. Not expecting him right in front of her. She took a step backward. Please leave me alone boy. She looked around and eyeing on the exit.

But his voice sounded bit different this time. Something soft. Or it was just her?! But no, dont take risk. She looked up at him with wide eyes, "You got bored, right?" that's why you're here to tease me, to bully me, right? she asked, started chewing on her finger nail.

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.

He was still there. Talking to her. Alice's breathing became ubnormal. No. Why should i get nervous?! Alice cleared her throat, gained her courage again.

She raised his brows at his question, surprised. "Well..nothing much. I just..looking for..Lion" Fyo. Her brave Lion. She bit her tongue, giggled.

Ha! He intrigued. Her eyes glinted at the sound of Lion. His sweet talks and mermerising scent. Mmmm.. She was standing there, dreaming about her Lion. And she was about to answer Torin, but wait, why should i tell him about Fyo?! No way...

She bit her lower lip as she couldnt ignoring the blood rushing to her head at the thought of Fyo, she spoke, "Umm..Lion is my Candy Factory."

Alice giggled again. It was interesting to see him confused, the bully and flirty boy . Seemed it was her turn to make him uneasy. Well..

She straightened herself, "Umm..Yes. But why you bother?" she raised her brow, beamed.

He was thoughtful at her question. He had no idea why he seemed to care. And that was annoying. This girl was annoying!

"I... don't know." He frowned slightly. "Why can't you tell me who it is if it's not big deal?" He had her there. He wanted to know who Lion was.

She had no intention to see what he was doing or thinking or whatever. Her mind was full of her Lion. And all those sweet happenings.

But wait, why did he bother about her and her Lion in first hand. Since when he started caring about..umm..such things?! Weird. She had nothing to fear to tell about Fyo to him. They were in love, focourse. "Well..His name is Fyodor, shortly Fyo." she mouthed, and went to deep pink, blushing heavily.

Alice couldn't stop blushing. She looked down at her finger nails, nodded her head quickly, "Yes." was all she could say at the moment. She was too happy to say anything morethan that Yes.

She looked so dreamy as if she was going to sleep mode soon.

"Thanks." Alice started curling and uncurling her hair, still smiling as leaned against the wall.

Her light pink outfits seemed goes very well with her cheeks. "I gotta go," she said, not wanting to get into any quarrel with him anymore. She had suffered already. Twice.

She started worried as he was getting closer when she was about to leave. Go. Run Alice. He was upto something. And then he apologized again. Who wants?..i mean..seriously.

She raised her head up and spoke,"It's..o.." and next second he kissed her. Oh..what..the..h..She pressed her hands on his chest and pushed him away before slumped down on the floor, fainted.

As he walked down the corridor, his mind on the hand drawn map he'd got from Professor Dumont, George looked up at something pink. Alice?! "Alice?!" he ran over to her and bent down at her side "Oh no, Alice?" he put his hand to her head and then watched her breathing. Satisfied that she was still alive, he sat next to her and waited for her to wake up. Is she sleeping? What happened?

It was not clear how long she had been there lying on the floor, unconscious. But when she opened her eyes, all she could see was that cute face. George. His worried face hovered over her, watching her intensly. She blinked, trying to get focuss on what had happened to her before and why she was lying on the floor.

Slowly one by one swimming through her mind. Apology, Torin...kiss. She sat upright on the floor, clutched her head in her hands, "George," she called as her eyes started welling up.

As she stirred, he kept his eyes on her and scanned her face worriedly "Alice, what happened?" he asked as she put her head in her hands. He moved closer and put his arm around her "It's okay" he whispered comfortingly to her. What HAD happened? All he'd seen was her on the floor on her own, it wasn't exactly normal.

By the second George asked her what had happened, tears started rolling down on her cheeks. What could she say? How could he be behave like that to her? Was it another sort of bullying?! Her head seemed spinning and couldnt think properly.

"He..He kissed me George," her voice was trembling as she burried her face in her hands.

As the tears ran down her cheeks, George looked away, she didn't need him staring at her while she cried. Then he heard what she said, his gaze turned back to her face, his expression was horrified "Who kissed you?" he asked her, not knowing if he wanted to really know or not.

Alice shook her head. It was shocking. Unexpected. Alice wiped off the tears from her face by her sleeves. It was so embarrasing. She somehow managed to look at his face. "He..the boy.." she trailed off, "..Torin." she said as if she said something a bad word.

Speaking of him, where he was? Ran away? Oh..you..boneless Duck!

All she wanted was him. Her Lion. Fyo. She WANTED her LION. Now!
