I guess this is common behavior of a bully right, apologizing when threatened to get suspended?

I had that happened in 7th grade once. The girl was brave enough to start an altercation. She insisted on a physical fight I never wanted; for no reason other than jealousy towards me.

I hit back and reported her to the office. We both got threatened with a suspension and all of the sudden she begged me to not say anything, pretend it didn't happen and promised it wouldn't happen again. When I refused and proceed with reporting her, she cries and starts apologizing.

Then she expected me to lie for her. She started saying a contradicting version that it was someone else bullying me, that she only slapped me once by accident and always defends me against others. I didn't lie for her. I called her a liar and stuck to my version. The stupid assistant principal still expected us to make peace or else it's a suspension.

On the way out, she was still in tears and offered to shake my hand. I called her a phony and liar. We're now HS Sophomores but haven't spoken to each other since. She's still the same fake person towards others; hasn't changed at all. Is that a typical bully's behavior? Only apologizing when either beaten, caught or threatened with consequences?

I must say she did hold to her words of it never happening again. I never got bullied afterwards but yeah she's a fake and I heard from others, she still talks bad behind my back from time to time... but she's just too chicken to say it in my face lol.
