I walk into a small café, I see Allison sitting at a booth. I walk over and sit down across from her. "Why did you want to meet up?" I ask calmly and tap my fingers on the table a little.
"I-I just wanted to ask you a few questions and talk... I don't know, maybe I finally see you as a friend..." her timid and shy tone caught me off guard, I wasn't used to this side of her.
"Sure, what about?"
"Umm, well just about you... I might know lot from many of my sources but it's nothing like hearing it from the person." She let out a nervous laugh.

I started to study her closer, she had her long black hair brushed behind her ear with a cute hair band on as well, it was placed so perfectly that she looked like a actress. I wasn't used to her dressing like this either, she wore a modest spring dress. I honestly was interested to way she put so much care into her outfit today. "I suppose I grew up in a bad home life, shit went south and now I'm here." I shrug and a waitress walked over.
"Can I get you girls anything?" She pulled out a pen and paper.
"(Y/N), you can get anything you want, I'll pay." She stated more forward and confident, like I was used too.
"Umm just a Chocolate Shake." I say and she nods, now looking a Allison.
"Fries." She answered simply.
"Okay, be back with those."

I thanked her and turned back to Allison, she looked back at me and smiled a little. My heart almost died, like Sally throwing glitter on something to heal it, kinda death. It was so small and simple, yet so warm and endearing. "I've been curious, why not just leave this town, change your name and start over?" She asked quietly and was now looking out the window. "Would it not be more convenient, (Y/N)?" She looked at me again, her amber eyes reflected the sun making them appear to glow. I opened my mouth only to close it again, I didn't know how to answer that... I couldn't even if I wanted to.
"I can't... I can't say anything more on the matter, but if I mess this up I don't think I'll be here anymore." I suddenly feel her hand grab mine.
"I can help you out of it."

I didn't know what else to say, I was shocked. I didn't know what was happening, why would this rich girl who has the world at her feet,  stop  her life to help me. "It can't be helped, I'm in some deep shit, hell I'm not even human anymore."
"You're not human, I agree with that but... in a way you still are. You still feel human emotions and feeling... right?" I froze.

...Allison POV...

My hands sat around hers, I didn't know what I was doing but I was speaking from my heart. "It can't be helped, I'm in some deep shit, hell I'm not even human anymore." My heart felt pain looking at her, she looked lost, her eyes looked dogged over with regret.
"You're not human, I agree with that but... in a way you still are. You still feel human emotions and feeling... right?" Part of me pleaded for my statement to be true, something I've never felt about anyone somehow she has pulled this side of me out. I felt wanted... needed, like I wasn't just seen for my money and decent looks.
"I do. All of them." She finally spoke her voice was quite and partly sounded grateful.
"So, you might have some superhuman abilities and whatnot BUT you are still you, you still feel things, you still have a heart and a soul." I say gently, my hand moves by itself and lifts her chin slightly. (Y/N)'s Eyes we're soft and looked thankful. I pull away and sit up straighter. "Now, you can't eat a milkshake sad. It's not allowed."
"Thank you." I heard her mutter a little and I smile a little.
"What are friends for." I answer back softly, genuinely happy I cheered her up.

We spent the next hour talking about random shit, I used a fry to steel some of her milkshake. She retaliated by taking a fry and dipping it in her milkshake then putting the ice cream on my nose. We both laughed and I heard (Y/N) snort a little and her face turn red from embarrassment.

After a paid we decided to walk around for a little while longer. "So, how about we see a movie next week?" I throw out there, I'd slowly become more and more confident being around her. She just put off this vibe that makes you like her, she's so... cute.
"Umm, maybe, let me check my schedule." She pretended to open her fake calendar. "I might be able to squeeze you in between, always and free? Is that okay?" She smiled a little.
"Sounds great, I'll set up a time and date." I answer, looking down at my own phone. "I should go, my dad has this rich guy coming and if I'm not back I'll never hear the end of it." I hug her and she jumps a little but hugs back. I pull away. "Bye." I leave. "Maybe I'll have confidence to tell you one day."

...(Y/N)'s POV...

"I should go, my dad has this rich guy coming and if I'm not back I'll never hear the end of it." I hear her say and I suddenly get hugged, I gently return the hug, smiling gently. "Bye" she mumbles out before turning around and leaving.

A rich guest, guess that's why you got dressed up. I smile a little and walk toward the woods, I really enjoy that. "Is that what teen life is suppose to be like?" I mumble, walking down the road. 'Allison is a really nice person once you get to know her' "now for my mission."
