Smell
Alex and Mike talked the whole time the class was going on, it wasn't that interesting of a topic that was being discussed by the professor either way and Mike said he already knew it so Alex decided to just strike up conversations with him.
They talked about a lot of things, ranging from basketball to football and even gossiping about the people in the school.
Finally, the bell rang and the class was over.
Getting up on his feet, Alex stretched his arms out as he said to Mike who was doing the exact same thing right next to him.
"Sitting in one spot for an entire hour really is tiring, isn't it? Sometimes I feel like it takes more out of me than a run would." Alex said as he turned to look at Mike.
Mike nodded his head as he replied whilst nodding his head.
"Yeah man, you are totally right, it just stiffens up your muscles and then you have to stretch or they start hurting after a while."
Alex nodded and then grabbed his backpack which he had slung on the table put it over his right shoulder and started walking while waving his hand to Mike.
"Well I gotta go, Mike, I have English, better not be late twice am I right?" Alex said as he walked away.
Mike waved him goodbye as well as he said out loud.
"Yeah, see you at lunch Alex. Don't be late again" Though the last part of the sentence was said in a snickering voice.
"Sure, sure" Alex replied as he got out of the classroom.
'Now then where is the English class' Alex thought as he started heading off in a random direction while he pulled out the white sheet of paper.
'And it's in the complete opposite direction once again' Alex realized as a twitching smile covered his face.
Turning around, he started heading towards his next class for real this time.
Time passed as Alex finished his English class and Spanish class and now it with Lunch time, the halls were filled with students as they eagerly went out of their classes.
'Damm, those two classes were much more annoying than I thought they would be. Everyone has already formed their own clique or something and so they just stick to themselves unlike Mike, so I didn't talk to anyone and what's worse those two damned teachers kept making me go to the blackboard so they could test my knowledge or whatever the hell they were trying to do' Alex thought frustrated as he trotted down the hall towards the cafeteria.
'At least I can talk to someone in Lunch, because damn being in this time period with no smartphones is one hell of an annoyance. Like I can pass the time by drawing on the table but even that has its limits.' Alex thought as he arrived in front of the cafeteria entrance.
Even without going inside, one could hear the loud clamor of students inside as they took their usual seats or grabbed their food and of course the loud conversations that they were having. This was only further boosted for Alex whose hearing had only recently been enhanced.
'And now I really think I'm going to get a headache, even though it should be theoretically impossible with me being a vampire and all that' Alex thought as he rubbed his temple beside his ear with his right hand, hoping it would somehow lower the noise though it proved highly ineffective.
Alex stood at the entrance for a few seconds wondering if he should go in at all, considering he really didn't have any need for food as a vampire but nonetheless still opened the door.
'I'd rather not have to deal with Bella and maybe even Charlie nagging me about not eating food.' Alex thought as he finally came inside the cafeteria hall.
It seemed like it was already almost full and only a few spots were still left free.
Going to the line, Alex grabbed a tray and waited his turn which came rather quickly and then he grabbed some food for himself and headed towards Bellas Table just like yesterday.
The table was already full with only one free spot, which Alex guessed they had saved for him.
"Hey guys, I'm not too late am I?" Alex asked as he sat down, putting his lunch tray on the table.
He was seated right next to Bella just like yesterday.
"Hey Alex, you're just on time actually. We got out a bit earlier as the professor had to do something and released us earlier than usual." Jessica answered Alex as she put her hands under her bust and looked at Alex with what could only be considered a crazed look in Alex's eyes.
'Yeah I'm staying far away from her, she did the same thing last time, like damn can you just calm the hell down already woman?' Alex thought to himself.
"Ah nice," Alex said as he turned to Mike and they started talking just like they had in History class.
Alex and Mike got interrupted when Bella asked the whole group.
"Hey has anyone seen Edward today?" She asked as she looked at the group and Alex could tell just how embarrassed she was for having asked the question, one second after she said it.
"Hmm, no I haven't seen him around Bella, why do you ask? Do you like him?" Jessica asked Bella as her eyes seemed to almost shine at the smell of the slightest thing she could gossip about.
Bella took what could only be called a step back away from her even though she was seated and then answered her question.
"Uh no, it's just that he looked at me like I was the worst-smelling thing on earth yesterday when we had biology class."
Alex who was currently playing with his food with a fork said out loud.
"I mean why do you care about the weirdo either way? I mean if you smell bad then I smell like some dog shit on the road"
Mike and Eric coughed while Angela who was currently eating food turned to glare at Alex.
Turning towards them, Alex made an apologetic face as he said a small sorry.
"Well you get what I mean, we haven't seen him around but you shouldn't care about him either way, he's just a random bastard," Alex said and inside he felt so pleased with himself that he wanted to jump up and down in excitement.
'Never thought cussing someone in front of their whole family in secret because they don't know that they know what I said would be this exciting' Alex thought to himself.
