The Alpha Chose Me

"Don't want you to knock me out". He laughed catching the attention of students around us. Alanna being one of them. "Oh, little Miss Taylor doesn't seem too happy with you". "I know Alanna. I met her when I first got here. We're cool".

"Well if she isn't glaring at you then she's glaring at me". Making the situation worse he winked at her then blew her a kiss. "Works every time".

She didn't like that one bit.

Stifling my laugh, I dropped my gaze to the floor. Ryan seemed cool. As the bell went, I started to clear away my things. It was lunch time and I couldn't wait to eat. I was starving.

"Here". Grabbing my hand, he began to write down his number. Hit me up if you need help, I'm being serious. See you around little rocky".

By the time I put my books in my bag the classroom was empty. Taking out my lunch money I slung my bag over my shoulder and hoped the cafeteria would be easy to find. Alanna was no where to be seen.

It didn't take me long to find the cafeteria. My stomach growled as soon as I walked in. I had skipped breakfast this morning, to nervous to eat. It was packed, laughter and chatter filled my ears. Joining the queue I glanced around the room but failed to find anyone I knew. Where had she disappeared to?

After collecting my lunch I stood awkwardly looking for somewhere to sit. I couldn't believe Alanna had left me on my own. I guess this is how it would have been if I didn't know her. Where was Lacey? Sighing I started to chew on my bottom lip.

After finding an empty table I sat down. Suddenly I wasn't feeling so hungry anymore. I haven't felt this alone in a long time. Opening my bottle of water I took out my phone and opened up a new message. I knew if I played the hand card my gran would come and get me.

Out of nowhere my tray was being lifted along with my bag. Glancing up I fought back my smile when my eyes landed on Ryan. "Come sit over here rocky". He didn't give me a choice, he was already walking to another table. Water and phone in hand I followed him. "Thank you". I whispered as I took the seat next to him.

"Can't have a pretty girl like you sitting on her own". He winked causing me to roll my eyes. "Where's Alanna?". He asked as he picked at the fries on my plate. Hitting his hand I moved my tray out of his reach.

"Do I look like the kind of girl that shares food?".

Holding up his hands he smirked at me. "So where are your friends?". There was a lot of people at the table but they were all to engrossed in conversation to notice I had sat down. Shrugging my shoulders I picked at the rest of my lunch. I had no idea where they were. Hearing my phone vibrate I glanced at the text and frowned.

'Can't pick you up honey, are you able to get a lift?'

Another message came through only this time it wasn't from my gran.

'Where are you? come outside. Ax'

She seemed to be in a better mood, I didn't want to sit outside it was freezing but I did want to know why she was acting so weird. Turning my attention to Ryan I pushed my fries towards him.

Getting to my feet I slung my bag over my shoulder. "Anytime Leah. See you in chemistry". He smirked.

Heading outside I scanned the area my eyes landing on Alanna. She was sat at a table with a large group of people. As if she could feel me staring her eyes locked with mine. Grinning she lifted her hand signalling me over. "Where did you go after chemistry?". I asked taking the seat beside her.

"I had to call home. How has your first day been?". Something was off, I could feel it and I was sick of feeling left out.

"I'll be better once it turns 4 o'clock. I'm going to head back inside I don't like the cold". Truth was I felt awkward. I felt like I didn't belong, like I wasn't fitting in.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Please stay". She whispered her hand grabbed mine. "I'm sorry about this morning it's just-.."

"I get it. You have stuff going on, stuff I can't know about. I'll see you inside".
