The remaining part of the lunch hour passed quickly, Alex wasn't even there for most of the time, stuck inside his head, still thinking about that gaze, a shiver going through his body. It was finally hitting him that this wasn't his reality.
That this was a world he had only read about and watched a movie for. This was a world where a human could die as easily as a rabbit, no maybe even more easily if a vampire simply decided they wanted to.
'And Bella over there is Edward's blood singer… and I'm Bella's brother…. What if I am as well?' Alex thought to himself, he kept his hands under the table, making sure no one could see just how much they were shaking.
'The reason he didn't kill Bella was because she was his soul mate or some crap… so he managed to somehow hold himself back from killing her.' Alex's thoughts continued getting darker and darker, his imagination went wild as he thought of hundreds of scenarios where his innards would end up splattered all over concrete or how his spine could be snapped in half and his blood drained out as quickly as one would drink a Capri sun.
The second the bell signaling the end of Lunch was heard, Alex's body snapped up from the chair as he quickly turned towards Bella and the others.
"I'll be going ahead, the bathroom is to the right from outside of here right?" Alex asked, somehow managing to keep his voice under control as he tried his hardest to stop himself from trembling or straight up running out of the hall.
'I have Biology II, with Edward… yeah I am not going inside there.' Alex thought as he turned to Bella.
"Tell the teacher that I'm having a stomach issue, here take this letter and ask him to sign mine as well," Alex said as he handed his attendance letter to Bella who gave a quick nod and pocketed it.
Turning away from Bella, Mike, Jessica, Angela, and Erick. Alex quickly walked towards the doorway and headed outside of the cafeteria.
He walked towards the right where the bathrooms were however he didn't head inside, he knew that the safest place to be when facing a vampire was actually a space with as many humans as possible.
'They have no reason to hunt me, and I am being paranoid however if it means I can feel even slightly calmer, I'll do it.' Alex thought to himself, clearly knowing that he was being illogical and that there really wasn't any reason for Edward to come and kill him and put his family in danger however human emotions were never logical.
It was a culmination of a lot of factors that led to Alex almost having a panic attack right in the middle of lunch.
The fact that he was taken out of his own world, the fact that he had died, the fact that he was in a world that was supposed to be fiction, the fact that a literal vampire had given both him and his new supposed sister a glare that clearly meant death.
'I think I'm actually doing a pretty great job at not freaking the fuck out.' Alex thought as he arrived outside the school, before him stood the parking lot.
Walking to the left, he clearly saw groups of students who were skipping class, there weren't a lot of them, it wasn't because the school was just that great, it was simply because there weren't that many students in Forks.
Walking to them, he gave a shallow wave of his hand.
"Yo, I'm Alex, the new guy. Anyone got a cig? Kinda forgot mine at home." Alex said towards the closest group.
There were two male students, one with blonde hair and one ginger as well as a girl with long black hair.
"Sure." The guy with ginger hair replied as he extended a pack towards Alex who quickly took a stick out and grabbed the offered lighter before handing it back to the guy and giving a quick nod as thanks and walking a few meters away and putting his back against the wall.
Alex wasn't a regular smoker, he had never been one. However, he did smoke once in a while, either at parties or when he was having a particularly shitty day.
'If Bella sees this, she's going to lose her shit. If the Alex of this body was such a good guy that he never even said 'shit'. There is absolutely no way in hell that he ever smoked one. Honestly im envious, The guy's probably had one hell of a good life if he managed that.' Alex thought to himself as he released a soft chuckle at himself before throwing the half-burned stick of cancer on the ground and stomping it.
'Fuck, I have one more class after Biology II. It's gym however so it shouldn't be that bad. I calmed down a bit, I'm no longer shaking. That was illogical. They aren't going to kill me. They have no reason to. Though if I had gone to Biology? That could have actually happened, Edward was described as almost losing control during that class… if I happen to also be his blood singer just like Bella? Yeah… one was hard, two could have easily pushed him over the edge.' Alex thought as he crouched down and put his hand in his pocket taking out a flip phone.
He had found it on the desk and taken it with him, flipping it open, he saw the small screen light up.
'Does it have snake?' Alex thought to himself as he quickly looked through the phone before finding it.
"Hell yeah." He murmured with a soft smile as he stared at the icon.
