Alfie didn't want to mention how he was the teenage version of Hulk Hogan to Natalie. It wasn't that he cared that people knew he could lift cars with one hand or anything, but it just didn't seem like the time or the conversation when she was likely going to tell him that what he did was dangerous and not so much in self-defense considering he had a major advantage over anyone else regardless of how much bigger they were. No one was ever stronger than he was, to his knowledge at least. "Yeah well, it's over now. So, I can get back to my sports and hopefully a job." To keep his mind busy...
"Thanks," he said, unsure of what else to say to that. He didn't really want to over think things with her. Sure he could probably hold Evan back with his strength, but he wasn't Superman. He could still get hurt, Kryptonite or not. "That'd be cool. I mean, you don't have to, but it's cool that you would. Sure Laney won't get mad that you're talking to me?" Laney. It was the first time he'd said her name out loud since their breakup. He tried to hide his frown.
