Uddrag
The narrator doesn’t mind the new girl at first, but Allison dislikes her, and starts to call her names like nigger, and talks down to her.
When Allison threatens to beat the little girl up, she runs back into the house. They see the girl again from time to time, but the narrator never speaks to her again.
He feels bad about never saying sorry to her and treating her that way, and still thinks about to this day.
