Allen couldn't help but squirm a little away from her. Not because of any features on her, it was just a self defense mechanism that Allen hadn't even noticed. He felt a lot better when he wasn't so close to people, that's just who he was. He wanted to change that though, but he felt like his body was on lockdown at the moment, keeping his body only moving for when he had to breathe. Everything else though felt numb. Was this fear? Allen couldn't tell to be honest, but it wasn't something usual he dealt with.
He looked at her though with some excitement in his eyes. It was pretty obvious that they both liked each other, he wasn't stupid like that. Yet it was just a fear in his eyes that kept him from truly saying anything. His hands quievered a little bit, yet he tried to keep it from her sight. He told himself to stop being so nervous, that this was just a common thing for now. Nothing serious. He didn't want to rush with this. "This school is messed up right now..." he told her, knowing well enough that it truly was.
"Barker shouldn't be here...just saying his names in the hall spreads fear. Why did he become a teacher? To basically torture all of us. He's a sick F***." He didn't mean to curse like that, but it was just on his mind. He heard rumors of it and even heard Barker had something to do with Rhys. And Rhys was one of his newest friends, so he didn't like the thought of someone harming her or others.
