"Alice, wait up! Please!" Stopping in her tracks, the baby purple haired girl stops once she hears the desperation in the plead of the spiky haired boy.

"Hey, why are you avoiding us?" Sherwood asks calmly trying not to scare her, seeing she already is uneasy.

"Yeah, we just want to get to know you." Lola smiled glancing at Angelo, who was looking at Alice weirdly. A gaze Lola has never in the boy before. Sherwood realized that too.

"Tracy said you guys were bullies, cheaters and plain mean..." Alice gulped rubbing her arms, looking at the three warily.

"What?! No way, come on! Alice she is lying, trust me! It may not sound like we are in the right, but...please trust me, us!" Alice gaped at Angelo, probably in confusion. She nodded and decided to go with them.

"We haven't introduced ourselves, I'm Angelo. This is Lola," he pointed at the pink haired girl. "And this is Sherwood." He gestured to the boy next to him.

"Nice to meet you..." Alice nodded with a small smile.
"What do you guys do for fun around here?" the purple haired girl asked as she rocked on her heels.

The trio looked at themselves with knowing looks.

The boys walked ahead, Lola tugging on Alice's wrist. The trio leaded the way to Angelo's house. Alice memorized the path from here to school, so she'll be able to go home.
"We hang around in my house, well most of the time." Angelo smiled at Alice, nodding towards his house.

"Hey Double A's, let's get inside." Lola smirked, crossing her arms.

"Double A's?" The two simultaneously asked, looking at the pink haired girl.

"So, let me get this straight. Angelo you are a 200 IQ genius? Yeah, okay that's a lie. But is Tracy really that bad?" Alice tilted her head, questioning the three new friends.

Speaking of them, they only spared each other glances with frowns. They nodded and Angelo began explaining, "She is. Alice you may not believe us, but you haven't seen her. Probably will not, because now she will only hide her behavior."

"If you have seen her do those things, why didn't you tell a teacher, like Mr.Foot?" Alice waited patiently for an answer, even though it came almost immediately.

"Mr.Foot is her uncle, we would tell him, but he will thin we're lying." Angelo's head was downcast.

"Wow, that sucks. Don't worry, I won't hang out with Tracy. I'll try to find other friends." Alice beamed at them, standing up to leave.

"Other friends? You have us!" Lola pointed at herself.

"But you three have known each other for so long, I don't want to butt in your friendship." Alice shook her head.

Angelo squinted his eyes at the girl, crossing his arms.
"Ah no, you won't butt in anything! Stop acting as if you're going to ruin something." Angelo smirked once he saw the girl's defeated expression.

Angelo turned around and looked at the readers, "Be persistent guys, people like Alice are super kind and will always blame their selves for everything with capital E! So, if you want them to give in, just don't give them a room to argue."

"It's getting late, my parents are probably worried. I've gotta go. See you guys tomorrow, hope you're not bothered." She waved and left the room.

"Well, we actually talked to her and she believed us." Sherwood smiled, looking at Angelo.

"Well, dude I mean it's me, Angelo." the spiky haired boy shrugged his shoulders with a grin.
