Breathing a sigh at I sat down on the chair that is at the back of my classroom . My heart trumps fast and eyes were darted on the students to the student entering and filling the room space gradually including Ann,the big class bully. She has always being a pretty girl and her confidence is above everybody's and that's so incredible , her long lustrous hair were flowing with her as she walked into the classroom.
Ann sees herself as a high class girl because she mingles with alpha and I dont see her mingling herself with me because I'm just an omega , a low ranked nobody and Ann has never for once failed to remind me about that every single day that passes by. I hate so much and she knows but she doesn't care since I'm an irrelevant individual and pest to her life.
This is my last lecture for today and then I can finally go home and finally get to avoid her again.Today is also the last day of school, the next time i will be in the classroom for lecturs will be in months from now .
My anxiety is acting up and I don't have my best friend to defend against the insults I get from other students. She's the only soul who makes going to school beautiful and actually a worth to me. She's the only one that has accepted despite my background and she treats me like a royalty . I love her!
But sadly she has a doctor appointment today so I'm alone.
Hillwoods high is a big well known and prestigious private that costs a fortune to attend. Almost everyone who attends hillwoods has sons and daughters of billionaire and they are loaded with tons of fame and connections. Even the Alpha goes there; I rarely see him; we have only one class together and I'm not sure he knows about my existence not to talk of my name .
The population of the omegas in the school is just about 1% and I'm a part of the population. My parents are struggling and can't afford the tuition fees but I was an A student so I got into the school with a scholarship and a full scholarship at that. The scholarship covers my feeding fees including all the textbooks I will be using till I graduate hillwoods high.
"Okay class, can I have your attention" Ms clarina, our teacher said with authorization causing every student to stare at her " settle down please" she continued .
This class is now filled and everyone who offers Ms.clarina's subject are presented. A few chairs scraped against the floor as students sit in their respective seats. The once chartered and noisy filled atmosphere soon quited down as we all await to hear what Ms. Clarina has to say to us.
Her class is an hour and she's that one teacher that knows I'm being bullied, she had tried to help countless times but it only makes things worse so i had to back off.
"What the..." She says in disgust as she had turned to write on the white marker board. The board has a bold offensive sentence on it and that makes my stomach upset .
I didn't pay much attention to what was written on the board when I first entered the classroom but now that everyone's gaze is at me I feel like throwing up. Even Ms. Clarina is now staring at me pitifully and with sadness on her face.
"Who did this?" She yelled furiously and Ann giggled
I adjusted my hoodie and I wished I could just disappear out of trance and avoid all their gazes, I stare at the word on the white marker board and I swallowed a quite amount of spit . The word on the board was;
OMEGAS ARE THE BIGGEST FULL TIME SLUTS
Considering the fact that I'm the only omega in the class, the person who wrote could have just put my name
"Slut" I heard someone next to me whisper that loudly and I ignored
"Sebastian I heard you, leave my class this minute" Ms. Clarina says out loudly , the tone in which she said that made the class to know that she was pissed "we will not accept such radial behavior in the school, not this time and never would we " she countinued.
I hear the chair next to me scrape on the floor and I look at the person " is Sebastian alright?". He has a smirk on his face and he doesn't look sorry at all
"Whatever" he mubles as he walked towards the door
"And walk yourself out to the principal's office" Ms. Clarina yelled
We all watch Sebastian walked out of the class and when he was out of sight they returned the a cold blooded gaze at me .
"Sophie...I'm so sorry" Ms. Clarina said to me with a sense of sympathy in her voice and a tear rolled down my eyes , I made no attempt to clean it as i nodded in response.
"I will make sure I get to the bottom of this, the person who did this hideous act with no doubt would be severely punished" she says as she turned to everyone and turned back to erase it
I sank into my seat deeper as Ms clarina smoothly transition into what she was going to teach us today. It was an hour past already, everyone picks their backpack and began to leave and she looks at me silently begging me to wait so as to have a word with her but i shook my head in disagreement . I knew that talking about won't help infactt it only makes matter worse not even when everyone hates me now
She takes the hint and gave me a sad smile and then she turned and walked out of the classroom
. I took my backpack from the floor and slung it over my shoulder and headed towards the door. Everyone has left except Ann , she's fixing her hair with a mirror in her hand by the door.
My mouth is dry I and my heart thrumps fast as I approached the exit but she doesn't seem to care as she runs her hand into her hair for the fifth time.
"Please...ex..ex..excuse me " I said shaking and politely in a small voice as soon I approached the door
"So you do talk" she said as she turned to look at me while putting her mirror inside her bag
"I...I..just...want..to...to leave"I said as I tried to get out but she pushed me back and stood in front of the door trying to guard it and not letting me move out. Gosh I freaking hate Ann so much and I had no doubt that she was the one who wrote those words on the board
"Ohhhh, poor little Sophie ,you are not leaving till I ask you to"she says harshly and bursted out laughter at my shaky reaction " you should be thankful that Ann is talking to you not everybody has that opportunity you know"she continued"you don't deserve to be here, you belong the thrash ...gosh go just to where you belong"
"Okay Ann" I said softly as I stare at the ground knowing fully well that if i dare take a glance at her she might do something that i would regret
"Good girl" she said in a cheeky tone as she pinches my nose lightly. She laughed so hardly and turned around to take her leave as she does a piece of paper fell off her bag.
I lift my head up and watched her walked away quietly . She is always the devil . I wiped off the tears that rolled down my cheeks and bent down to pick up the paper that fell from her bag. It's a flyer of a birthday party; THE ALPHA BIRTHDAY PARTY . I shoved the paper into my pocket . There's no way I would ever be invited to such a party but a girl is allowed to dream right?
**FEW HOURS LATER**
I can feel the cold air and strong breathing of my heart. My breathing is heavy and I don't know what to do as i sat on the bed in my dark bedroom that is only lit with a dim lit that managed to enter through the window . My best friend,Laura is sitting next to me with a laptop on her lap, it's midnight already but shes spending the weekend at my place .
"Are you sure Alex Riley would be there?" I asked her as I raised my finger to my mouth so I can chew my fingernails . I do this whenever I'm nervous and right now I am
Alex Riley is an Alpha, one without a mate. I have had a massive crush on him for as long as I can remember. He is the son of the lycan Alpha, Rhett Riley. He's strong , incredible, powerful and hot to die for!
He is the Alpha of our pack,lycos blue tide pack and i have had a secret crush on him for ages , only people really close to me like Laura knows this.
"Have I ever lied to you before?"she asked me confidently as she closes the laptop . I do know that she's not lying ,the flyer I shoved in my pocket as proved that.
"Um..one...two..three..." I began to count as she stopped me and I laughed
She just told me about the party that Alex is having right now at his mansion a couple of blocks away. It's his 18th year birthday
"I know, I know , let's forget about those times right now , but I'm definitely not lying this time. Plus you know I never lie when it comes to Alex Riley , i know you want to nasty things with tjat man for years now" laura said as she wiggles her eyebrows and face went instantly red from embarrassment
Yeah I wish, he's at the top of social ladder and I'm at the bottom
"Laura" I playfully slapped her. Yeah she was right though I mean who wouldn't want to have those strong arms around them?
She stares at me for a second and her face gets serious
" I didn't want to tell you this before but tonight is the day that's his finding his mate " she says the word carefully and i nodded slowly taking in the information
It doesn't matter though, there's no way I can get to the party . I got off my bad and she looked at me in concern. A few seconds of silence passed between us and then she speaks " infact I think you can" she strokes her hair and took a glance at me.
What does she mean by that . I scoffed in response as I waited for her to elaborate
"I am invited to the party and I'm entitled to bringing a plus one" she said as a smirk takes over her lips "you are going to be my plus one" she continued
I almost forgot that Laura and her family are the top on social ladder. They are impressively wealthy, of course she would be invited
"Really, you are taking me to the party?"i asked in excitement as she rolled her eyes playfully and she replies "yes"
She walks towards to me as she gestures for me to come over to her so as to find something to wear and I did exactly that . Laura reaches for the closet and pulls out a dress .The dress she pulked out was a gift from my mom a year ago and i havent worn it at all.
"Should I wear that?" I refer to the dress and Laura looks at it for a few seconds and then she nods. She handed it over to me as I felt the material,the first thing that came to my mind was premium
"I think it's too revealing" I complained I wore the dress to fit in
"Well, if you ask for my opinion, I think you look great and beautiful in it , it's fits so perfectly" she complimented me and I can't help but smile. "You do know it's a party not a prom right?
" She walks away from me standing in front of a dressing mirror as she fixes her long wavy hair. She's wearing a short denim skirt and a oversized maroon sweater
"And this is not a prom dress , stupid" I said defending my dress
In my opinion it seems like something someone confident would wear. I think I'm way too shy to pull it off but I have a good feeling about tonight
"I know it's not a prom dress, but you are overthinking what to wear" laura grabs her purse and walk towards the window. She pops her head out for a few seconds and a cool wind blows into the room causing me a shiver for a few second. With the window opened, I catch a glimpse of the almost full moon
"Why is your head out the window" I asked and it took her time to reply
I took my attention off her and walk towards the dressing mirror to style my hair. My hair is brown and long . When I was done styling my hair , I reached out for my shoes to put them on
"Because we are going to you use the window to leave the house and I laughed like she just told a joke
"She can't be serious, can she?"
"And why should we do it" I asked another question causing her to groan
"Girlll...you ask too many questions"she whines and i rolled my eyes playfully . Of course I would question my best friend who says we are going to be using the window as exit instead of the front door. I'm just saying we could use the front door , my parents doesn't have any problem with me going to a party with you even though it's late. My parents are strict but they know i hardly leave the house asides going to school, i always stay indoor and read my books all day, except laura drags me out to go somewhere with her . now that school is closed , it gives me even more reason to stay indoor all the time.
i only have one sibbling and that is imelda, my elder sister. she is the exact opposite of me, acomplete extrovert. she has aperfect hair, a figure that compliments her body, acute and round face. she is also intelligent and has excellent grades, she is a popular A student , even Alex hangs out with her sometimes. she may be an omega on the inside, but she is litterally top-tier on the outside. she can shape shift inti her wolf easily unlike me who can not even shift, she goes to our school and she has beautiful friends too. no one at school knows she is an omega.
i am one hundred percent sure that she is at that party right now, and because she is there, my parents would have no problem with me being there. plus they like it when i go places instead of being stuck in my room.
"oh, you look nice" my dad compliments me as soon as he sees me
my mom looks at me and smile proudly. i am sure she loves the idea that i am leaving the house and also wearing the dress she got for me put a smile on her face. "wow...you look...just wow"she says, and the book of us chuckled
"thanks mom and dad"i replied as i turned to laura "um..laura and i are going to aparty, we would be back before it gets late"
"is it the party imelda is?" my dad asks as he turns his attention to the soccer game he was watching before laura and i headed towards the door.
"i believe so"laura replies
"alrigh, my babies...be safe! my mom says to us as we walked out of the door
"dips on driving!" laura exclaims and i handed over the keys that i took from the house before we stepped out.
"okay captain," i replied and she smirked
the both of us got into the car and laura drives us to alex' house, a very huge, luxurious mansion. i can already hear the music blairing loudly as laura parks the car in front of the huge house.
"wow...its so beautiful and alive than i imagined" i mumbked as i stare out of the window
they are so many people, some are dancing and mist are drinking tons of alcohol. this is not really my scence, but i would not be able to forgive myself if i miss the night Alex Riley would find his mate.
"sh*t, the party is bigger than i thought"my best friend commented as we both got down from the car
now that i am actually at the party, i am begining to have second thoughts. maybe i shouldn't have come. instead of listening to my thoughts, i stick close to laura as both of us entered the huge filled house. almosr everyone is dancong and the music is so loud that i can feel it in my chest.
"stay here, i am going to get us something to drink thar does not have the devil's pee in it" laura excused herself and we both giggled
alcohol is whst we call the devil's pee,
