Slowly raising his head, his eyes closed for a moment before he opened them and gazed infront of him and there she was.
Alice Cullen, with a small almost soft smile on her face as she was gazing down at him with those almost magnetic golden amber eyes, looking directly into Alan's own eyes.
"Hi there! I'm Alice though I'm guessing you already know that?" Alice said, her voice sounding giddy even though she was staying in the same position.
"Right, yeah. I'm Alan, do you need something?" Alan asked as he tried to give a smile though it was constantly twitching at the sides, as he tried to keep a straight face whilst looking up at her.
"Ah, didn't really need anything, just thought I'd introduce myself y'know? We're sitting right next to eachother and all, and it would be super awkward if we didn't talk wouldn't it?" Alice replied easily with a smile, not minding the fact that it was clear that Alan didn't want to talk to her at all, it wasnt even hidden, anyone could tell simply by looking at the sight of the two of them, Alice standing before him with an entirely genuine smile whilst Alan looked as if he was having constipation issues.
"Right, yeah… Nice to meet you Alice. How'd you guess that I knew your name though?" Alan said outloud whilst inwardly, his thoughts were entirely different.
'I'm not as scared as i was before… but still, I would have much preferred if this 'thing' stayed as far away as possible to me, still… if she's going to be talking that It's better if i am as friendly as possible.' Alan thought inside his mind as the smile on his face started smoothing and turning into a better and better imitation of what a real one would be.
"Yeah! Nice to meet you Alan. Also, I knew that you knew because everyone knows about my family y'know? And these days it's not even for a good reason, people talk a lot in Forks, as you know, it's a small town afterall and my family is the only one that transferred here atleast until that Bella girl came, and then there's the fact that we mostly just like keeping to ourselves and people have started to think that we think we're just better than everyone else and that we have these massive egos y'know?" Alice said as she pulled her chair closer and sat down next to Alan, putting one elbow on his desk and putting her chin on her hand as she turned to face him.
'Ofcourse people are going to talk when you literally never talk with anyone else but your own family and then theres the rumor that your all into incest and thats only the public knowledge, not even the fact that I know for sure that you guys are either superhumans or something entirely not human. And guessing from how cold your skin felt during that brief touch, im betting on the latter.' Alan thought inwardly whilst giving a nod towards her on the outside.
"Wait you're telling me that you guys dont have a massive ego?" Alan asked as his lips twitched whilst he raised an eyebrow.
A short laugh escaped Alice as she shook her head amused.
"No, we really don't promise… well atleast I don't, Edward and Rosalie might just have a tinsy tiny bit of an ego problem. But that's not me at all y'know?" Alice replied as she chuckled.
"Right… so you're saying that only your siblings are a little shitty, and your actually perfect." Alan asks, his voice tinged with amusement.
"Yup, exactly, see you already understand me so well Alan." Alice replied her own voice tinged with clear amusement as she played along.
After those words, both of them fell silent for a few moments, Alan didn't know what else to say meanwhile Alice… had gotten lost.
Her eyes had turned slightly duller and it almost seemed like she wasn't there at all, atleast her mind seemed like it wasnt behind her eyes and instead in a far away place. As if she wasnt even in the moment at all.
A few seconds passed, Alan raised an eyebrow confused as he kept looking at her.
'What the fuck is this? Is she staring into space?' Alan thought inwardly confused, his hands which were under the table were shaking slightly, he had been trying his best to sound as normal as possible, making slight fun of her words and playing along with her, whilst putting on an amused facade meanwhile inwardly he had slowly but surely felt the stress of the situation start catching up to him.
"Alice?" Alan asked outloud, finally unable to take the silence, however the woman infront of him didn't reply at all, her eyes seemingly passing through him. Her body stiff and utterly frozen.
A split second later, Alice Cullen's mouth opened wide in what appeared to be shock whilst her eyes quickly refocused, the iris colour somehow turning much daker in an instant before her body once more calmed down, this all happened in the span of a mere second or two before her eyes refocused onto Alan once more.
"Sorry about that, I just get into my mind sometimes and forget whats happening around me and all. Seen some people around school call me weird for it and all, I'm actually a bit self conscious about it. I hope you dont mind. Did you say anything whilst I was like that?" Alice said as she gave an apologetic smile, her eye colour seemingly starting to turn into amber slowly once more.
"No… I didn't say anything, and it's fine. I stare into space randomly sometimes aswell, what with all the exams these days and all. Can't blame you." Alan replied as he shook his head
'You got into your thoughts my ass, what the fuck was that? That wasn't normal, it wasn't normal at all.' Alan thought to himself.
