The girl before him, almost looked vulnerable, or maybe he was just imagining it, but sitting there before her, Alan finally decided, if he wanted her as a friend, a real one, he had to change himself, he had to adapt and learn how to deal with his fear, with the new world he had been thrust into and the new people inside it. He couldn't let fear control him anymore.
He had already taken steps forwards, by being able to face the monstrosity that was Jeannie, but now he needed to continue, he needed to keep taking steps further, needed to continue evolving as a person as well, and not just in pure power.
"So, you certainly look different, but you said that you can't tell me how or what… and I'd rather you just said that instead of lying again Alan… but I do have to say… you really do look quite good." Alice said softly as her lips twitched upwards by the end of her sentence as she tiled her head and propped it up with one hand on the table.
"Thanks, it's still nowhere near you and your family though, ya'll kinda look like extreme supermodels or something." Alan muttered with a chuckle as he shook his head.
Time passed swiftly without either of them noticing it, the minutes feeling like seconds as the two slowly got caught up in conversing with each other, for a while, both of them felt like nothing else existed, like only the two of them existed in the world. Like nothing else mattered. And as the saying went, when you were enjoying yourself, time passed by without you even noticing it.
*Riiinnng!*
The bell signaling the end of the lunch period rang out with a loud shrill like sound.
Alan who had been leaning towards Alice, entirely caught up with her as she had been explaining about some random clothes and fashion brand that she had found at this store in Port angeles, jolted slightly.
His eyes widening in shock as he turned his gaze towards the bell that was ringing on the wall behind him.
Alan lifted his arm behind his head as he scratched his neck awkwardly.
"Man… I really didn't notice the time. Guess, I gotta head out. Oh, right before I go, I noticed your brother talking with Bella, Bella Swan or something. I thought he hated her, what changed?" Alan asked curiously, his voice clearly amused as his eyes turned to notice that not only had Bella and Edward been talking earlier, they had even been seated together on a table in the cafeteria and were now getting up slowly together.
Alice who was next to him and similarly getting up from her seat, shook her head, her excitement and amusement clearly visible in her expression.
"Oh him? Yeah, he's a bit of a weirdo, and yes, I did hear you calling him that once. But yeah, he was just in a bad mood last week and was sick and so he thought she smelled bad or something and later found out that everything smelled bad because he was indeed sick, and when he got well better, he felt really bad about his reaction to her so he went to apologise this morning, and as you see, they seem to be doing decently." Alice said as she hid her smile behind the palm of her hand.
"Riight… he thought that she smelled like shit. I mean, I did notice him scrunching his nose on that day in biology… but wait, what if she does indeed smell like shit and he just fucked up today and now he has to act nice because he already went and apologised once." Alan muttered in a whisper towards Alice, his expression changing into a smirk as he looked at Edward and Bella.
Edward who had been getting up with her, stiffened for a moment before his eyes turned towards Alan for but a split second, it was so fast that Alan thought he might have imagined it but he was sure that the guy had just given him the meanest death glare that he had seen in a while.
'Oh, oh damn, he's annoyed but it's so damn funny. Can't laugh though, I just finished a supernatural enemy, I don't need an enemy of an entire family.' Alan thought to himself amusedly as he tried very had to keep his lips from twitching.
Meanwhile Alice didn't seem to have any reason to hold back as she started laughing, peals of laughter that rang out in the cafeteria that was slowly dwindling of students as they headed out of the hall to go towards their respective classes.
It was at that moment as he was basking in what he felt was the most beautiful laughter that he had heard in his life that he heard an eruption of laughter from the other side of the room, horizontal to his and Alice's position.
It was a booming laughter that echoed throughout the cafeteria.
Emmet Cullen, looked like he was fighting a losing battle with himself as he was almost doubled over with laughed by the Cullens.
Jasper Hale who was next to him, held a twitching smile on his face whilst Rosalie Hale, his sister looked as if she wanted to strangle someone, or more precisely her rumored boyfriend, Emmet.
"Ah… that was a good one Alan, I'm going to tell that to my parents and I am so going to hold it over Edwards head, for like, the next decade." Alice replied with a chuckle as she wiped a nonexistent tear under her left eye with the tip of her index finger.
"Right… it was funny but not exactly that funny. You're over exaggerating, are you making fun of my jokes now?" Alan said as he lifted an eyebrow as he and Alice started walking out of the cafeteria hall.
"I am not, you don't get it, Edward's always serious, like always, so him getting stuck with someone because he apologised and now can't do it again or doesn't want to seem like a real asshole, is like a really realistic and possible outcome. I have to ask him if its true tonight when he comes home." Alice replied as she shook her head, amused.
