'Fine… I guess that's not so bad, and Alice hasn't done anything wrong to me yet, in fact she's even helped me. Maybe just maybe I was judging the book by its cover too hard?' Alan thought to himself, though he was still holding back, he wasn't exactly excited about the idea, however he wasn't completely against it as he had been earlier.
Joining the entire Cullens felt like a deathtrap, he didn't even know the rest and neither had he talked to any of them, however joining just Alice at the table? That felt much safer than the other option.
"Alright… yeah that can work Alice. But yeah, as we were saying, definitely ask your dad about it, they're not a good bunch but they were still nice to me, heck, they even gave me this pair of prescription glasses since I lost mine. So, I guess I'm just sayin, I wish they could come back to normal and leave those drugs they're doin aside." Alan said as he gave a nod of his head, the tone of his voice was softer than usual, he was still hesitant about his decision and about even involving the Cullens into the magical mess that was going on with the three of his friends however he felt like he had no other choice.
'I can't risk it, I can't risk something like the possession thing happening to me again, and It's so easy, you just have to inhale the smoke from the enhanced weed and you get affected, what if the 'thing' manages to create an even more concentrated version or I just get trapped into a room with its smoke, there's dozens of ways that I can lose and lose control of my body and will. The annoying part is that I can't even just tell Alice about it, I don't trust her enough… damned.' Alan thought to himself as he almost felt like releasing his hundredth sigh of the day before stopping himself, maintaining his resigned yet calm facade on the outside.
"Really? Really?" Alice asked quickly, her voice once more regaining its giddy nature as her excitement finally boiled over, unable to hold it back, she started practically jumping on her feet in overzealous excitement at the mere idea of sitting together with Alan for lunch. Her eyes that had gone almost pitch black also slowly started to change colour once more, it was a slow change however Alan who had already caught it happening before was paying extra attention to the small details.
The difference between the colour of the iris and pupil slowly started growing and growing until the pitch black eyes turned back to those beautiful amber eyes, that seemed to shine like gems under light.
'They… they're really beautiful, heck. She is beautiful herself, all of her.' Alan thought to himself for a moment as he gazed at the woman before him before he turned his attention away, not wanting to keep staring at her in wonder as he lifted his hand to his mouth and fake coughed into it.
*Cough* *Cough*
"Anyways, how much more time until class is over and we can go to our next classes?" Alan asked her curiously as he took a few steps back and put his back against the wall of the hallway, leaning against it as he lifted his head to look back at Alice once more.
"Don't know, let me check." Alice said quickly as she took out her blackberry phone and turned it on quickly as she checked the time.
"Around five more minutes more or less. What class you got?" Alice asked curiously as she replied to his question, walking closer to him and leaning against the wall alongside him, one leg turned back and the foot onto the wall, standing only with one foot on the ground whilst her arms were crossed above her head.
Even with her arms in an upright position, she was still quite a bit smaller than Alan who was similarly leaning back next to her on the wall.
"English, It's boring but atleast I won't have to listen to the professor and can just slack off hopefully." Alan replied in an already bored tone at the mere thought of the oncoming classes, in comparison to the activities that he had been doing recently, and the events that were happening around him. Attending classes almost felt like a complete and utter waste of his time, yet he understood that if he wanted to keep going on his life, he needed to atleast complete this last year of highschool.
'I've worked way too hard on the last years for me to just give up the diploma on the last damn year just because some supernatural creep decided to start selling magical drugs to highschoolers. Couldn't he have atleast started selling to criminals or drug addicts, why'd he have to go for students.' Alan thought to himself before turning his head to look at Alice.
"What about you?" He asked curiously as he lifted an eyebrow in question.
"Arts. So I'm good." Alice replied with a giggle as she hid her smile behind the palm of her hand, her eyes seeming to glow with mirth at the difference between her slight excitement to the class and his complete and utter boredom about his.
"Yeah, yeah. Good for you." Alan said in turn with a chuckle of his own as he turned his head to face forwards once more.
For the next few minutes, the two made small talk, it wasn't really anything serious, ranging from the most confusing topics about daily student life, to the most random stuff like how they had seen that student come a month ago with purple hair because his little sister had decided to prank him by switching his shampoo.
Five minutes later, the bell signaling the end of the current classes rang, inside classrooms and on the top of the hallway walls around the school, a loud electronic bell ringing sound that carried throughout the entire Forks Highschool building.
As soon as it did, the sound of students talking much more loudly and chairs scraping on the ground quickly followed, almost instantly after.
"Alright, guess it's time to go, see you at lunch, Alice." Alan spoke as he turned to fully face her once more.
