Alice thinks it’s cute, the way Dave looks at her. It’s an innocent kind of endearing gleam in his eyes that she can’t exactly pinpoint the source of. She thinks it’s kind of adorable — not because of her “vanity,” or because of some schoolboy crush he might eventually develop on her, or because of the way his eyes look bigger through his glasses. It’s because of the way he looks at her face, and not at her body, or her hands, or her fucking criminal record. It’s a relief, at least for now, to have somebody who sees her for what she is on the surface, and maybe even just a little bit deeper than that. Just a little.

She smiles when Dave looks away, and she takes a nibble of his her sandwich and swallows.

“Yeah. I’m over on Galia Drive. Just moved in last week.”

It’s easy — and actually satisfying, dare she think it — to talk about it like her parole officer didn’t spend three weeks just trying to find a place for sale within a one-mile radius of a public school. God, she hates that prick. And his pedophile mustache.

Alice pauses to take another bite of her lunch, and she grins at him as she drops it onto her styrofoam tray. She props elbows up on the lunch table and lowers her chin into her hands, gazing at him with big, wide, sarcastic eyes.

“So, you’re not new here? Think you could help me find room 247?”

"Well, wel--"

There's a pause.

Then a longer pause as he quickly chews on his mouthful, and swallows.

"Welcome to the neighborhood, then!"

Perhaps welcome isn't the best word to use, considering everything that happened recently -- Justice Forever, decapitations, the Motherfucker, decapitations, Toxic Mega Cunts, decapitations.

Regardless, it's the word he uses.

He takes another bite of his sandwich and chews quickly as she speaks again, and -- oh, okay, lettuce slipping out the end of his sandwich okay——— ———and it's saved.

"Yeah, no, not new here at all. Oh, man. I don't know."

"Halfsies on lunch and being your tour guide? That might be too much. What am I? A superhero?"

Alice finds, much to her surprise, a small smirk playing at the corners of her mouth. It’s not like she doesn’t smile, because she does, on her own, while she’s playing guitar or lounging around at the gas station. It’s just been awhile since she’s smiled because of a person — and a dorky kid with curly hair, at that. A friendly, sarcastic, dorky kid with curly hair that seemed to be genuinely kind.

And maybe that’s why her smirk stays at a smirk. Maybe that kindness makes her shrink away from him slightly. Maybe her conscience does a double-take, and maybe her heart sinks a little.

”Alice.”

She reaches for half the sandwich. Her cool fingertips brush Dave’s hand.

”—Thanks.”

Dave watches Alice for a moment. Just a beat or two. See, it might be his imagination, just because she's hot, but she seems familiar, and he can't figure out why. The name isn't familiar, it doesn't ring a bell in correspondence with her face, and she's clearly new to the school. But even so, there's something about her he can't quite put his finger on. As she smirks at him, though, something clicks.

She reminds him of Mindy.

Not so much in looks because, to Dave, Mindy will always be a little blonde eleven year old with a gun in each hand and a curse on her lips, and Alice... Well, Alice is definitely not eleven years old, blonde, or holding any kind of weapon. He hopes.

No, she's familiar in the way she holds herself. In the way she doesn't quite smile all the way, but the sentiment is there. In the way she doesn't mince her words, but doesn't stunt the conversation. In the way she takes food without a fuss when it's offered to her.

He realizes, a little too late, that he's been watching her for longer than a moment, and his gaze drops to the sandwich in her hands, before returning to her face just briefly.

"No problem. Eating here sucks; I get that."

It's a stupid question. He knows it is. He knows before he even opens his mouth. But he opens his mouth anyways.

"So, you're new here?"

“It’s hazardous to my stomach.”

She pushes her styrofoam tray away in disgust, remembering both in remorse and in longing how great deli sandwiches could be when they tasted like thievery. And yes, all the food she used to take off the markets on the street was fresh and wonderful and edible — but it tasted different too. Like a cruel mix of victory and addiction.

”I’d have brought lunch if I knew it’d be like this.”

Brought… stolen… whichever.

"Nah. Hazardous to your tastebuds, maybe. But we only get thirty or forty food poisonings per semester."

He stabs at his own lunch with his fork -- which doesn't consist of a lot, just the things he's learned don't taste like shit -- before dropping said fork, and twisting to fumble around in his bag for the lunch he'd made bought that morning. He might be on a health kick in order to shape-up for his Kick-ass regime, but Friday? Friday means Subway. He set it on the table between their trays and unwrapped at the paper, licking his lips in anticipation.

"Halfsies?" he offers with a vague gesture towards his lunch. One must take pity on all new kids. They have much to learn.

"Oh, I'm Dave, by the way."

”The underside of my burger is soggy.”

She lifts it to show it to Dave, maybe even let him touch the revolting thing.

”There’s nothing worse than a soggy burger.

"Ew."

{ nobody can judge him for jabbing his fork at it, with narrowed eyes and a scrunched-up nose. }

"It's not actually hazardous to your health, though. Trust me. I've been eating this shit for years."

“You coming?”

{ there's a screw loose, or an overheating motherboard or something in dave's head because no words come out of his mouth but he jogs to catch up with the crazy anyway. }

{ he walks in silence for a moment, glancing over his shoulder twice, as if expecting to see an explanation hovering in the air. }

"So——— Am I gonna get an explanation, or... not?"
