Well, I know that the story needs some adversaries, and realistically I wasn't in a school with bullies so there was no one for me to stand up to :P<br/><br/>In a way this strikes me as a sort of...mafia style hierarchy. Since, if someone disrespects the head of the family (the b's and jocks) the rest of the family tries to neutralize the target. That said, it does strike me that Alice and Lara would be the type to stand up to this mob family, whether it's successful is shown in the b's and jocks having trouble. I'd say that Alice could be a thorn in their side, somewhat of a nuisance they can't seem to get rid of. I mean this in the best possible sense as well :P<br/><br/>So, there's always at least one person who stands up to the threat and rallies others to do the same, so Alice could be this guiding force....I don't know if that makes sense but I'm trying to write it correctly   ::)<br/><br/>So...In simplest terms I guess you could say, Alice is one person, going up against a whole mob family. I don't know if this helps but I'm trying to make a compromise :-)
