'It likely is, I just didn't expect for it to be this effective, all the rumors that should have spread about me, they're practically gone before they even had the chance to start, it's like people are more inclined to believe in my so called 'goodness' than the fact that I might have been the drug dealer or even really associated with them' Alan thought to himself as he closed his locker door and turned around, heading towards the cafeteria as he walked past students who kept gossiping around the events that had happened today.
Only one other student had seen the scene besides Alice and Alan and yet in less than an hour, the entire school seemed to know about it already.
'Man… highschool gossip really does spread fast.' Alan though as he gently shook his head and put his hands into his jean pockets as he arrived at the cafeteria, opening the double doors and heading inside, he quickly looked around, noticing the usual groups of students, the jocks, the nerds, the famous girl groups and the rest.
His eyes caught onto Bella Swan's image for a moment before he turned away, not thinking much about the brown haired girl, whilst sure she most definitely had something special about her, in comparison to the recent events, she had fallen far down below in the matter of things inside Alan's head, if he was being honest with himself, he had almost even forgot she existed for a while.
As he turned his gaze away from Bella and her group that she had already found herself in, consisting of Jessica, Angela, Eric and Mike, Alan found his gaze landing on an empty table that was way far into the back of the cafeteria. It was close to the Cullen table, and sitting right there, alone, by herself as promised was Alice Cullen, her hair as always in a pixie cut, her eyes shining a bright amber and a gentle yet clearly excited smile on her face.
'How does someone even manage to look both gentle and excited at the same time… perks of being beautiful or something?' Alan thought to himself in slight confusion at how his mind had come up with that conclusion about her combination of emotions from one simple glance.
Walking past the first few tables, Alan quickly arrived to stand before the table as he lifted his hand in a small shy wave.
"Hey Alice." He spoke, his voice lower than usual before he grabbed the chair opposite to her and sat down, not bothering to get any food from the cafeteria at all.
Alice meanwhile had already gotten herself a tray of food aswell as an apple, though it remained completely untouched right before her.
"Hey Alan, glad you came." Alice replied with a smile as she looked at him, for a moment she looked as if she was completely and utterly absorbed into gazing at Alan before the moment broke and she leaned slightly back.
Alan's eyes lowered to her tray before they slowly lifted back up to her face as he raised an eyebrow.
"Not going to eat?" Alan asked curiously as he crossed his arms over his chest comfortably and laid back more on his own chair.
"Not really hungry, I was for a bit but then decided I wasn't. Im kind of an impulsive person I guess." Alice replied with a giggle as she shook her head clearly indicating that no, she wasn't going to eat the food.
'Now that I think about it… have I ever seen the Cullens actually chew on something? Or eat anything at all?' Alan thought to himself as his mind went back to all the previous times he had seen the Cullens, his memory was good, and every since his intelligence stat had become a ten after the system, it had become freakishly good, and yet he couldn't find a single memory of them eating, not a single one.
'What… fuck, so they don't eat regular food? That… gives me more doubts about just what do they eat, a living organism can't survive on nothing and even the system can't create from nothing, it takes up mana… then what do these guys eat?' Alan thought whilst outwardly, he released a soft hum in agreement to her statement.
"I'm similar in a way, I kind of just go with the flow, not really the type of person to do impulsive things, but if something does happen accidentally, I just go with it. I guess I'm the middle ground between Impulsive and ordinary?" Alan replied to her with a shrug of his shoulders as his eyes swerved towards the Cullen table.
"Oh, see! We were made to be friends together, I do the impulsive things and you just go along with them, the best duo ever." Alice said instantly after Alan had spoken his piece about himself, her smile widening further and a slight gleam of teeth showing, her pupils almost seemingly becoming dazed for a moment.
Turning his gaze away from the Cullen table, Alan looked at her expression and almost felt a shiver run through him at the sight.
"Right, yeah best duo ever. Anyways, your fam didn't have any problems with you sitting here?" Alan asked curiously as he lifted an eyebrow.
Alan's question pierced through the slight daze that Alice had gone into as she frantically nodded her head a moment later.
"They didn't mind at all, infact Jasper and Emmet are happy that I'm socialising more." Alice replied with a giddy tone of voice as she leaned forward, closer to Alan.
"What about your sister?" Alan questioned, Rosalie was the one he knew would have a problem, he didn't think he had ever seen a person radiate more antisocial behaviour than her in his entire life.
"She doesn't matter." Alice replied, whilst still keeping that exact same smile on her face, her response instant.
"Riight…" Alan muttered in slight exasperation as he nodded his head at her whilst inwardly releasing a sigh of slight regret.
