When Rudy reached school and made his way to his classroom, he found Alice sitting on a different seat than usual.
She had exchanged her seat with her friend for a day.
"..." Rudy let out a weary sigh and muttered, "Yeah, I messed up."
Rudy wanted to apologize to Alice for kissing her out of a sudden without her permission, so he walked to the desk Alice was sitting at and stood there without saying anything.
Alice had her head resting on her hands on the desk, so she didn't realize Rudy was standing in front of her.
Rudy tapped on her shoulder without speaking a word.
Alice thought it was someone else, so she looked up and saw Rudy standing in front of her eyes.
"Hey…" Rudy greeted her with an awkward smile on his face.
Alice immediately lowered her head and refused to look at Rudy.
"Umm… I am sorry…" Rudy uttered in a gentle voice but with a sad look on his face.
He was genuinely sad and angry at himself for doing that to Alice. He understood why Alice was angry.
