"So Alan, where you from? Forks or did your parents move here?" Alice asked curiously as she focused on Alan once more.
"Forks, my families been here for generations, though I'm an orphan now because of an accident a few years ago, but yeah, been here for a while, know everyone and basically everyone and their parents knows me too." Alan replied with a shrug of his shoulders as he faced her.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Alice said quickly immediately after but was stopped as Alan raised his palm up.
"It's fine, It's not something im hung up on and I've already dealt with the loss, there's no need to feel pity or bad about it. I'm actually living pretty decently on my own. Atleast it's better than some kids with abusive parents isn't it?" Alan says interrupting her instantly.
Alice raised an eyebrow, her momentary confusion at the interruption clearing as a soft smile appeared on her face instead.
"You really look at it from a positive side huh, a glass half full instead of a glass half empty type of person, I like that." Alice spoke, her voice seemingly warmer than before, her eyes seeming slightly more amber than before.
'Perfect… he's perfect and alone… and he wouldn't miss anyone… if someone were to…' Alice thought in her mind as her eyes moved towards the base of his neck for but a split second before returning to his eyes, the movement too quick to be caught by regular human sight.
"Yeah, I mean I'm not wrong am I?" Alan replied before he turned his attention back towards the front of the classroom as the professor came inside and started the name attendance call to check who was present and who had skipped the class.
"Alan Walker."
"Here." Alan spoke outloud as he raised his hand for a moment before lowering it and turning towards Alice once more.
"So, I've been wondering, why do you guys never make friends? I mean If you had connected with people more often, then the rumors around your family wouldn't have started in the first place. I can kind of get Edward, when he first came almost every girl in the school confessed to him, same with Rosalie but what about the rest of you? And I'm not saying that the rest of you guys fall behind in looks, just sayin." Alan asked as he gazed into those unique amber eyes that sometimes seemed to darken to almost pitch black and then revert just as quickly.
'Just what is she? I dont know of any supernatural creatures that have amber eyes… I mean werewolves have like yellow eyes in fiction but their pupils are slitted and they are supposed to have super warm bodies. She's the opposite, her skin temperature is frigid as ice.' Alan thought to himself as he had for the quite a while now, ever since he had seen their observation skill menus that he couldn't read, and then the feeling of her hard cold skin, he had been wondering and yet he always came up with no answers.
'Whatever they are… I sure as hell don't need to go investigating, that's how every dumb fuck dies in Horror movies.' Alan thought as his mind instantly imagined him getting chopped up in the woods and then it continued getting worse with scenes of cannibals and bloody smiles, he had to shake his head softly to get rid of the train of thought as he once more concentrated onto Alice as she started to give her answer.
"As I told you, we really just like sticking to ourselves, its nothing else really. We're what you'd call an introverted family I guess. All of us are adopted but we've grown with eachother but all of us has their own stories and all, and it's just hard getting close to new people since we are so used to it being just us. We were homeschooled in Alaska and the move to a public school when we arrived here in Forks was quite the shock." Alice replied easily, her voice soft and utterly steady as she gave a somewhat awkward smile towards Alan as she explained their situation to him.
"I see, yeah I can guess how awkward it must have been to suddenly go from just you guys to well hundreds of people and classrooms and all of that. I bet it was much better when you could just do your own math studying and didn't have a teacher breathing down on your neck about it huh?" Alan said with a chuckle as he shook his head amusedly.
"Yeah, It was pretty nice, but still, I think i prefer this. Afterall, i got to meet you and well I was thinking maybe we could be friends? Or is that too straightforward?" Alice said in turn as she leaned slightly closer to him.
"Friends? Sure. You really are introverts huh, I dont usually get friend propositions, you kind of just start hanging around with someone and after sometime, you just kind of know that your friends y'know? Theres usually no propositions and friendship confessions." Alan replied whilst his hands that were under the table and slightly shaking until now clenched into fists.
'Alright… friends, that's good… as long as she's sincere about it and as long as I dont somehow find myself accidentally finding out a secret like I'm in some movie, then I should be safe, probably.' Alan thought inwardly to himself, feeling both a sense of relief at the situation and a sort of trepidation at the fact that he would be friends with what he could call a woman of supernatural levels of beauty who he was also pretty sure was actually a supernatural creature.
"Really? Thats great! We can do like so much stuff together." Alice said almost instantly after his conversation as she swung an arm around his shoulders and brought him closer with a strength that defied his small pixie like body frame.
