Bab 53: Addiction
Walking down the hallway, Alex started heading outside with the files in hand.
Arriving outside, Alex turned to a more closed-off corner and took out a cigarette from a pack he had bought in secret.
'Charlie and Bella would kill me if they saw this,' Alex thought as he took the lighter and lit the cigarette on his lips.
Taking a large smoke, Alex inhaled it as he sent the smoke to his lungs and then back out.
*Puff*
'It was a mistake to take that cigarette from the kid the other day. Now I'm back into the habit just like I was in my other life,' Alex thought as he stared at the white death stick.
'Well, it's not going to do any damage to me this time, though the addiction seems to have persisted over into this life as well.' Alex thought as he breathed in the smoke a couple more times and then looked over the graduation papers once more.
'Let's think realistically, do I want a college degree? Do I wish to put myself through that?' Alex thought to himself for a few minutes until he finally came to a decision.
'No, I really don't think I want to go and play human in college. I want to be able to travel around the world. I want to try new foods, see different cultures, and just experience life. I can achieve all of that without being stuck in college, ' Alex thought and nodded his head.
His mind set on his future plans.
'I'll take the GED, but I'll at least stay in school for this year. I'll at least finish this junior year, and I'll just skip senior entirely.' Alex thought, then threw the cigarette on his lips to the ground and smashed it with his foot.
Taking out his phone, Alex nodded, saying that it had been a while and that the gym class was almost over now.
'I don't have any classes with anyone besides Mike today,' Alex thought as he headed inside.
The classes went by slowly. Alex especially felt like the seconds had turned into minutes.
Finally, Lunch hour arrived, and the students all started heading toward the cafeteria.
Arriving at the cafeteria, Alex opened the doors and headed inside.
At the end of the cafeteria, as usual, he saw the Cullens, who looked to be whispering among themselves, while in the middle of the room was his group of friends.
'It seems like Bella and Edward have already started playing their hot and cold game. This is going to be annoying to watch,' Alex thought as he headed towards Bella.
'I'll just stick to Bella for now, I'll have my chance to talk with the Cullens after classes either way, and I'll have to inform Bella about the entire thing as well so she doesn't get stuck waiting for me after school.' Alex thought as he waved his hand at the table.
"Hey guys!" Alex said as he sat down on his usual chair next to Bella.
"Hey Alex" Mike, Eric and Jessica said their voice enthusiastic as allways though Jessica seemed to be acting weirdly like usual.
"Hey Alex," Angela also greeted him, though her voice seemed much quieter and soft compared to the others.
"So what are you guys doing?" Alex asked them to start the conversation and then completely shut off his mind for almost the entire hour as Jessica rambled on about some random gossip around the school or about her new makeup kit.
Turning to face his sister, Alex said.
"Im going out after school today, A friend is taking me with them so you can just go ahead and not wait for me" Alex said as he tried to find a way to circumvent telling her that he was going to the Cullens.
'With how suspicious Bella is of everything the Cullens are doing, I really do not want that suspicion to get directed my way as well,' Alex thought as he shivered when his mind imagined Bella coming at three am coming to his room to look around while he pretended to be asleep.
'Ah hell no, that cant happend ever' Alex thought to himself as he shook his head lightly dissapointed at his own imagination.
Bella nodded and gave him an okay, though she seemed to be deep in thought so he could have probably even asked for her precious chips and she would have agreed.
"Allright, dont say that i didnt tell you allright Bella." Alex said once more making sure that she actually had listened or atleast trying to make sure she had.
"Yeah, Alex, I heard you already," Bella said, her voice slightly annoyed.
"Allright" Alex replied and then sat in silence as he continued to listen to the others continue their rambling.
The lunch quickly came to a close, and the last three classes started.
They were just like the morning classes, and Alex almost found them unbearable today but still stuck through until the end.
*Riiinnngg**
The final bell of the day rang. Alex got up from his chair quickly and started packing his books into his backpack.
Slugging his backpack over his shoulder, Alex headed outside the classroom and walked through the school hallways quickly. He tried to get to the parking lot as quickly as possible.
'I'll have to wait for a bit before Bella drives off or we just drive off before Bella arrives' Alex thought to himself as he rushed through the hallways.
Finally, a minute or so later, Alex arrived at the parking lot.
Quickly looking around, Alex found the Cullens pretty quickly.
Thankfully, all of them seemed to be there as they had gathered around their cars.
Walking with fast steps, Alex arrived at the silver volvo quickly.
"Hey guys!" Alex said as he waved.

Bab 54: Car Ride
"Hey guys!" Alex said as he waved at the Cullen vampires who had gathered around their cars.
"Hey, Alex!" Alice waved at him as a large smile appeared on her face.
Running towards Alex, she gave him a hug.
Alex's face turned surprised at the show of affection, but he quickly returned the hug and then parted with Alice.
"Hey, could we get going? I don't really want Bella to see us together," Alex said as he looked at the others.
It took a moment, but the Cullens nodded and got inside their cars.
Alice took Alex, and they hopped into the silver Volvo together with Edward and Edythe while the others went inside the jeep.
Turning the ignition key, Edward started the Volvo up, and they headed out of the parking lot quickly.
"So, how did today go?" Alex said as he tried to break the icy atmosphere in the car.
Edward and Edythe didn't answer him at all, unlike someone who started ranting about her entire day.
Alice turned to Alex and started talking about how the classes were so boring today and how she couldn't wait to show him around their house.
"You will love it, Alex, and now that we both know we are vampires, we can even go around hunting animals, and you can even join us to play baseball," Alice said as she could barely get the words out with how fast she was talking.
Alex had to raise his head at one point to stop her.
"OK, we can do whatever you have planned, Alice. Just please calm down a little, I'm not going to go anywhere." Alex said as he looked at the pixie.
"Ah, sorry, I get too excited sometimes," Alice replied as she turned to look back forwards.
"No, it's fine. I love how you are so carefree and are able to connect and talk to anyone." Alex said as he tried to lift up her mood.
'Even I'm not as scatterbrained as she is, though, and that's an achievement if I have ever seen one,' Alex thought as he looked down at the short pixie haircut vampire.
'It feels weird to be next to people so otherworldly sometimes, even just two weeks ago i could have never imagined i would be in a car with real vampires' Alex thought as he turned to look out of the car window.
"So you were a vampire all along?" Edythe asked as she turned her head to look at the backseats where Alex and Alice were seated.
Edythe's question seemed to cause both Alice and Edwards's heads to perk up a little. Clearly, both of them were also interested in the question.
"Thats right, im sure Jasper could have noticed that his bloodthirst doesnt really go off around me does it?" Alex answered as he turned his head to look at Edythe.
Alice turned to face Alex, and she nodded her head quickly.
"That's right. Jasper did tell me about how he didn't mind being around you. I guess that makes sense now that we know you are a vampire." Alice said.
"It would make sense. My blood should essentially be poison to you," Alex said as he nodded at Alice.
Edythe then asked another question.
"How is your heart still beating? Do you fake it?" Edythe asked as her brows furrowed in confusion.
Alex shook his head.
"I'm not faking it. It's real. As I have told Doctor Carlisle, my race of vampires is vastly different from yours. An example would be that I don't have the stone-hard skin like you do. My regeneration, however, is much, much higher than yours," Alex said as he touched Alice's hand for a moment so as to showcase the stone skin and then pressed on his own arm.
"I see," Edythe said slowly as she nodded and turned back around.
'No you dont see at all, your probably even more confused than before you asked the questions' Alex thought.
"Lets leave all the quetsions for when everyone is together however, i dont really want to repeat myself a hundred times. And i also have some questions about your race id like to ask Carlisle" Alex said as he turned to look outside the window once more.
Outside the car, they were now driving in the middle of a forest, with trees surrounding both sides of the road.
The trees look hundreds of years old as they were so large that they could cover even the sky, causing a large shadow to appear on the road.
"This place really is the best for vampires," Alex mumbled to himself as he looked at the large forest.
"That's right. There's almost no sun the entire year, and the forests have enough animal life to keep us fed," Alice answered as he came closer to Alex, looking out of the window together with him.
Alex nodded and kept looking into the forest as they passed by.
His enhanced senses included incredible eyesight. Alex wasn't just able to see far away clearly.
Even his motion sight had increased.
What motion sight meant was the ability to see moving objects clearly as if they were staying in one place.
'There really is a lot of wildlife around here. It's nice, considering how much humanity has ruined the natural habitats of so many creatures.' Alex thought as he stared at some squirrels heading up a tree.
"Are we almost there?" Alex said as he turned to face the others.
"Almost there," Edward said, finally voicing out a word since the start of the drive.
