Feed Meeeeee Food

​

The tall, dark-skinned boy entered the cafeteria, the usual noise of the student body drowned out by his earbuds blasting music. Of course, always earbuds; Alpha had a strong relationship with music, one that wouldn't disappear probably ever [and so expect them in many posts]. Being the new kid in school was never fun. Not fun at all. Having to walk into the lunch room, get your food, and hover around for-damn-near-ever to get a seat that wasn't in the bathroom and then ending up wasting time and never getting to eat...... Well, always one of the hardest parts of being new. Seeing everyone talk and hang out with their friends, and then just.... Not having a relationship with a single entity there, especially if you weren't the anti-social type.

Thank Doge in Heaven Alpha was pretty anti-social.

The rather quick boy had been one of the first into the cafeteria, meaning he easily had a pick of the tables. He got his lunch [which he most likely wasn't going to eat], walked to a seat bathed in light [for the warmth, duh] and just plopped down, pushing his tray off, adjusting his tiny uniform tie, and sat, easily scaring many off with his resting bitch face and imposing figure.

It allowed him to just.... Sit and watch everyone. Remember the bit earlier about being the new kid in school? Imagine being the new kind in a school where most people weren't even human and everyone had freaky abilities of some sort. And then there was you, with a tiny grasp of your full potential. An embarrassing grasp, really; probably less than what some elementary school-ers had that'd been born and raised on the island. Alpha just hated the idea of having to try and explain all that fluff to some prodding schoolmate.

He watched as she dropped her tray, unflinching as the crash rang louder than he thought it would. His eyes still examined her even as he felt many sets of eyes on him. Alpha was able to ignore them for like a minute before he turned and snapped at them. "Does everyone have an eye problem? She dropped her tray, no reason to stare." He grunted before turning back to her, considering her for a second.

Well, either extremely foreign or not human. He figured the latter; in this place, probably one in every two students weren't human. He sighed, before motioning her to sit. If she didn't know the norm on human interaction, wasn't quite her fault. "I apologize for snapping at you. It's normal for two people who've never met to stay a bit away from each other and not invade each other's personal 'bubble'." He shrugged, before realizing.....

She probably didn't know about the personal bubble. It was like trying to teach a very smart baby how to be normal. If the baby was a small.... Human-looking girl. "By personal bubble, I mean the small space around everyone. Imagine it like an invisible bubble around you. It would be rude of me to invade your personal bubble if I wasn't more than a new friend. Or, I was invited to, like when giving a handshake." He held out his hand, smiling slightly at her. "Make sense? My name is Alpha. I'm a Sophomore here." Hopefully, he didn't make all that too confusing.​

​

She seemed to not understand what he said. Alpha could tell easy enough from her face, which still seemed confused in more than one way. He sighed, before shrugging mentally, dropping it. She'd learn soon enough, most likely, and from someone better with words than he. Either way, it was out of his hands. He was supposed to be enjoying a quiet lunch consisting of no eating and pure music....

His earlier suspicions were confirmed when she said she didn't know what she did wrong. He snorted in slight amusement; yea, he sucked at this whole "introducing non-humans to the human world" thing. Alpha decided to just drop the whole thing and go with a simple "You got too close to me." Short and easy to understand..... Hopefully.

He looked down at the mess of her lunch and pushed his over towards her, shrugging lightly. It was drastically different, consisting of a single pepperoni pizza, a can Dr. Pepper, small bag of chips, and a single chocolate candy bar. "Not as healthy as what you were going to eat or even near tasting the same, but you can have my lunch if you'd like. I'm not hungry at the moment." He removed one earbud, the one closest to her, and turned his music back on. He doubted she understood the gesture [which just meant he'd talk and answer questions if she had anyway], but couldn't hurt to try, right?

With that, he went back to his book, not offering another word as he continued reading where he'd stopped, which was just shy of the middle of the book. And it was a pretty large book [Roots, which he was reading for the third time for some reason].​
