Ione heard attentively to what Saoji had to say. Well... Paige was right, most probably. It seems Saoji wasn't as self centered as she initially thought. She was really embarrassed now though. Ione felt that Saoji was trying to pierce her with his eyes, or maybe that's just what she thought. Those judging eyes. Ione looked down, her hat covering her eyes. 

Paige put her hands around Ione's neck as if she was strangling her, though nothing happened. **"Just say you are sorry, you stubborn girl!"** 

**"Fine... Fine, I'll say it, you stupid ghost!"** She shouted, feeling really embarrassed and standing up from her sit. She sat back down, took her hat off and put it in the table, grasping tightly unto it. **"I'm sorry, what I said earlier was out of place. I was just angry because you left me talking alone, all right! I'm sorry, forgive me, let's leave this behind us and start all over again, shall we?!"** After spouting all of that out, Ione took a deep breath and then started again. **"I am Ione Juliett Barnett, and I have a ghost friend called Paige, good afternoon, how are you doing?"** She said, just like if that was the first time they met and extending her hand to him.
