A soft gasp left Alan, his eyes softly widening in surprise, he knew that he wasn't even as strong as a regular human and yet he had been practically man handled easily as if he had weighted nothing at all.
'Strong… quite strong.' Alan thought to himself before he slowly awkwardly lifted his hand to her back and gave a soft pat.
"Alright, calm down, yeah sure we can do all that."
"That's great, so, give me your number already. Here's mine." Alice replied instantly as she moved her arm away from his shoulder quickly, causing him to feel rattled for a second time for a moment as she brought out her phone, a black Motorola, the hottest model of the current times, a complete difference from Alan's own shabby flip phone.
'Right… rich ass parents.' Alan thought to himself as he felt a slight tinge of teenage jealousy before he quickly crushed it in his mind instantly, now allowing himself to be swayed by the emotion.
"Here, type it in." Alice said as she handed him the phone.
Taking it into his own hand and quickly navigating to the contacts list, he typed out his phone number into the phone physical keyboard and then handed it back.
A moment later, he felt his phone buzzing in his pocket as he brought it out and saw that Alice had already sent him a hello message, turning towards her and raising an eyebrow in confusion.
"Why'd you message me? I'm like right here." Alan said, his voice tinged with confusion as he stared at the weird pixie like and over energetic girl.
"Just to see if you actually gave me your number." Alice replied instantly with a giggle as she pocketed her own phone.
"Is Alice Cullen here?" The teachers voice rang out at that moment interrupting their conversation for a moment.
"Present!" Alice spoke outloud as she raised her hand up, waited for a moment as the professor nodded and then lowered it once more before turning towards Alan.
"Just to check if I gave you the right number? We are literally in the same school, I'm pretty sure you would see me every day, can't really avoid you with a fake phone number can I? You'd just keep annoying me until I gave you the real one anyways." Alan said with a soft chuckle as he shook his head in disbelief.
"Yeah guess so." Alice replied to his assumptions that she would keep bothering him almost instantly and completely shameless in her own admission of practically promising to being a pest for attention.
'Right… the more I talk to her, the more she seems like just a girl with ADHD or something… quite fun to talk to actually.' Alan thought to himself for a moment before shaking the thoughts out of his mind.
'Yeah, right. Let's not get too comfy… but then again they havn't done anything until now. Or they havn't been exposed until now…' Alan thought as his eyes narrowed a fraction before they returned back to normal once more.
Time swiftly seemed to pass as the two slowed down their conversations, talking to eachother every once in a while as they had to both focus on the lesson if they didn't want to get kicked out of the classroom by the professor noticing them.
After around half an hour, finally the bell signaling the end of the class rang with a loud ringing and buzzing noise.
Taking his books up from the table and gathering them for a moment before hitting their bottoms on the table softly twice to align them and then getting up as he turned to face Alice who had similarly gotten up from her chair at her own desk.
"Well, I'll get goin, see you later Alice." Alan said as his attention was already moving away from her and towards the exit of the classroom.
"What's your next class? Maybe we could head there together." Alice replied instead, once more pulling his attention towards her.
"I'm actually thinking of skippin the last two classes with some friends, I'm a bit tired today and thought I'd just head home and chill y'know?" Alan replied, easily lying about the actual reason that he was skipping class.
'It's not like I can just tell her that I'm skipping class so I can go get drugged up with some delinquents.' Alan thought, inwardly releasing an amused chuckle at the thought of her reaction if she knew.
However contrary to Alan's thoughts about his own successful lie.
'Yeah right. You're just going to get high with those fuckers and that… vermin of a disgusting ugly wench.' Alice thought to herself as her hand on the edge of the desk clenched just slightly, sending invisible cracks throughout the desk from the point of contact, thankfully she had managed to stop just at the right moment or that part of the wooden study desk would have been crushed right off.
"Ah I see, Hope you get better than Alan. Are you sure you don't want to head to the infirmary though? If you aren't feeling well. I could walk you?" Alice replied outloud as her expression changed to one of concern.
"Yeah, I'm okay, just a bit of a headache it's nothing much, you don't actually have to worry, nothing a nap can't fix. See you tomorrow." Alan replied as he waved her off and started walking away towards the exit.
'God, I can't believe that I'm actually able to keep this up and lie to her face, just yesterday I was practically having an anxiety attack, but now I know whats going on, I can actually use the system and become stronger.' Alan thought to himself, almost letting a smirk slip past his facade, completely and utterly overconfident in his own acting skills.
Meanwhile Alice, who had been left behind, was tracking him closely, her amber coloured irises slowly turning darker and darker until they almost became pitch black.
