Alice laughed softly. "I suppose you need to know really. Yes i have. Two. This will be my 3rd." She said, wondering if he needed to know anymore about it all. "The first one was a guy who had liked me for a while, and he was really nice. We went out for a few months, but then decided that it was better to be friends." She said, thinking of her friend Jake who apparently still 'loved' her. She smiled again, feeling it important to talk about the next one. "Then, one of my best friends who was a guy asked me out. I said no originally because i didn't want to spoil our friendship. But, he convinced me that it was a good idea." She said, her tone turning sour now. "We were going out for about a week, when i found him snogging Isobel behind my back. I saw them and to me it didn't look like either of them were trying to stop. I dumped him then and there. He has been writing to me all summer, trying to be friends again, but i have been really immature and not replied to any of them." She said coldly, wondering how stupid boys could be to not realise. "Thats why it was a shock to me. I never thought that anyone here would like me. Not in that way anyway. I was surprised that people wanted to be my friends." She added, feeling amazed at how many people she knew for a positive friendship.
