Marble {an Alice Cullen x oc story}

Cullens at lunch

AN: look at me actually updating my fic for the first time since Aussie lockdown ended 

Edwards POV:

The five Cullens walked into the dining hall and sat down at the table Edward was in a bad mood because he had a headache from all the busy thoughts about the new student it's all anyone thought about today even Alice. not being able to talk freely with jasper and comfort him knowing his mate was in pain was not helping his mood at all 'we should all hibernate for the next 100 years till humans stop being so annoying' he thought the idea had some merit but Carlile, Esme, Emmet and Alice would have hunted him down for just suggesting the idea.

'may as well see what's up with the new kid, find out what Alice sees in them and why everyone's got such a strong opinion about them'

Edward looked towards Lyric and found them already staring at him so he looked over to Lyrics eyes to try and hear her thoughts 

'how did I not notice that before I could have avoided this whole conversation dammit' 

Edward heard that sentence really clear and didn't recognise the voice so he knew it was the new kid and focused on that specific thought to try and gauge what else they were thinking. He looked into Lyrics head slightly curious but was shocked at what he found 

'insane in the membrane INSANE IN THE BRAIN'

'pinkpinkpinkpinkpinkpinkpinkpinkpink'

'school no-no hell'

'Why are there people so boring there has to be a nice accepting queer group or some straight trans kids to vibe with'

'headphones, head phones, phone heads, beheaded phones'

'wonder if these people would snitch if I graffitied the table it's just so plain and white I just wanna draw one little thing to give character'

These were all happening in Lyrics head at once the loudest seemed to be the song "Insane in the brain" that they were listening to but Edward had never had to dispature such a confusing mind it's like instead of a train of thought there were five different one-sided conversations at once. it was hard to follow and by the time Edward would start to understand one thought process it would change to something random.

"your mate is interesting" he said turning to Alice

"Really? what's Lyric like I haven't really been able to get many visions besides the fact that we'll meet at art class it seems they like to make decisions on the spot because nothing but that seems concrete right now" Alice rambled out excitedly 'I hope they are nice and accepting. what if they are internally homophobic? what if-' Alice started thinking

"Alice! they seem fine their head is chaotic and busy but there was nothing notably mean in there that I noticed mostly random thoughts and mild curiosity to how they thought the people at their table would react to different things they could do like if they would tell a teacher on them for drawing on the table"

All of the Cullens listened to Edward also wanting to know about the new kid some more. curious others trying to find more to hate about them *chough* Rosalie *chough*.

Lunch continued with the Cullens listening to the conversation between Lyric and the rest of the table they sat at and Edward occasionally said a funny thing Lyric had thought of like when they were trying to remember jaspers name or when they started coming up with couple of photo ideas for them with admittedly made Rosalie smile a bit when Edward said Lyric thought she was beautiful. 

"I can wait to meet them!" Alice said after hearing about the photoshoot ideas they had for Alice

"you will see them in art Alice I'm sure you can wait" Jasper said while smiling at his best friend

word count: 633

AN: Ik it's not long but I've started on the next chapter which will be the much-anticipated art class chapter not sure when I'll have it out but probably by Tuesday night, it's Saturday today and I have work today, tomorrow and the next day but Tuesday my family is going on holiday so I will hopefully get the motivation to do it in the long car ride.
