Alleice

**Alleice** is a pairing between Allen Alvarez and Alice Hargrave.

## History

Allen and Alice met in chemistry class when they were forcefully paired as partners for a project. Alice did not want to work with him nor be seen with him. She begins mistreating him after the day they were paired together. After a while, she gets into an argument with Lawrence DuPont who breaks up with her, storming off bumping into Allen. Allen goes up to her asking if she's alright, she says it's fine and not a big deal. He then tells her that they need to work together on their chemistry project or they will fail the class, Alice, still wanting nothing to do with him asks Allen to do the project himself and give her half the credit but Allen says that he will not and that it has to be done together. Alice, not giving Allen a choice decides they will work at his place because her parents won't het her have boys over, then tells him to clean up his house before working there. Allen wishing they could work somewhere else has no choice but to go with it.

When they arrive at Allen's place, he offers to give her anything she needs, Alice ignores him and says she just wants to get the project over with. Allen make a few suggestions for the project such as **Oil and Vinegar** but Alice declines the idea, then suggests **Iron Oxide**, she agrees jokingly calling it dust saying that there plenty of it around his house making him feel bad. Noticing that she's being a little too harsh, she explains to him that she's upset because ever since the holidays, her ex-boyfriend Lawrence has been acting like a jerk and hasn't been treating her well at all but is confused saying that he always acts like a jerk. Then she tries to brush it off saying his stress and feelings are no longer her business.

They both begin working on their Iron Oxide chemistry project. Alice is annoyed by the bad smell of curdled milk in front of Allen as he starts to lose track of things. Alice questions him why his mother isn't around, then he asks her if she can keep a secret, she says she can if its juicy. Allen tells her that his mother is suppose to be taking care of him but hasn't come back to Attaway at all and is still in Los Angeles and she has no idea what happened to Lenny. He explains that if she or the school ever found out what was going on, he would not be allowed to stay in Attaway anymore. Then Alice gives him the idea of staying with Jo Chambers, he asks why she would suggest something like that, she says that she knows that he's in love with her, Allen denies this and says that they are just friend but Alice thinks otherwise. Then Allen experiments with the project pouring the ingredient into the cup and is a success, Alice humours him saying it smells like Mr. Richards. It was at this moment when the two started to become friends.

The next day at school, Alice goes up to Allen who is studying. They start to bond more as they're talking with her reminding him to get fresh milk for the house, he thanks her for reminding him and will get it after he visits Lenny in the hospital in the afternoon. She asks him if he wants some company, he admires her offer but declines it knowing his father can be very grumpy. He says that they can go to the diner instead and get a milkshake saying that its pristine. Jo comes in and attempts to talk to him, but then leaves after seeing him with Alice. Allen tries to reason with her but they start to argue about their relationship and life drama and Jo leaves.

The next day in chemistry class, Alice becomes more concerned about Allen and asks him how he's been holding up in his house especially when he's alone. He says that he spend the last of his money and Lennys coming out of the hospital in a week so he it he won't he home alone much longer. She wonders if it would be nice for him to have his father home again, he tells her that it won't be especially how hard it will be to keep him clean with all the morphine he was on and cannot deal with another crack up from him. She then rests her hand on his arm and tells him that if there's anything she can do, she's there for him. Later that day, they both went to the hospital to visit Allen's dad Lenny Alvarez as he was introduced to Alice.
