Bruce released my hand like he was just snapped out of a nightmare or parallel world when the bell ringed through the corridor 2 hours ago.
My question is, why did he get so pressed when I mentioned, "mate" to him?
Is he mated already and got rejected?
Or wait…. Do I look like his mate and I remind him of him? What really happened to them?
Who should I ask?
Oh! Maybe Lucas and Jules might know something. They've been here with Bruce from their first grade, and even know they've never talked before, I'll know that Bruce have a mate
Alphas they're granted with mates as soon they turn 17 years old, and Bruce he's already 18 while I'm still 17 years. Omegas are granted with their compatibles Alphas as soon they turn 18 years.
Maybe I really do remind him of his mate as I watch him walking away from me.
All the lessons have passed with my mind having Bruce in it, but I was making sure to listen also and take notes where necessary but now it's the last period, the L.O one.
Packing my bags inside my backpack since we have to move to the mini hall.
Lucas and Jules are already waiting for me by the door when I flew my eyes to it.
Biting my lower lip with the reluctance of asking my friends about Bruce.
But I need to know, I'm somehow starting to be a bit curious about him.
"Are there learners in here already paired as mates?" I ask in a low tone while walking in the middle as always.
"Yeah, not many and the principal told us not to make it obvious since this is high school not a tertiary so we should respect everyone and the policy unless, there'll be some groping each other everywhere we land our eyes," Jules answers. "Why?"
Scratching the back of my neck and shake my head. "Uhm, nope…. Just asking," I nasal the words and sounded like Jules's voice.
"There are Alphas who try to make it obvious since its in their nature for showing off to other Alphas, but they know they'll be punished for such if they somehow kiss in public….. not allowed, even holding hands… not allowed but you can f*ck each other in your dorm rooms, quietly," Lucas inform me.
I bite my lip for the last time with a nod.
We stroll inside the mini hall, and as always we are the first class to enter and its good because we get to pick our sits.
While we are sitting at the middle, Jules ask, "What about your previous school?"
"Less rules, and yes, no kissing in the school premises and doing disgusting things but stubborn learners were doing that, especially insecure omegas trying to get rid of horny omegas off their Alphas and we would still not report them for kissing each other in the school premises," I answer them.
Lucas rest his elbow on his desk and ask, "How is it like to be in the same school with girls?"
Widening my eyes. "You want to tell me you've never been with girls in the same school before?" they shake their heads. "Primary?"
"No," both answers at the same time.
Taking a quick breathe in. "I must say, female omegas are more insecure and like to show off than male omegas and sometimes they will be rude to us male omegas."
Scrunching their faces. "Why?" Jules asks.
"No idea," I answer as I raise my shoulders and fall them back. "Maybe it's because of their Alphas making them feel insecure around us."
"How so?" Jules ask while leaning in.
I play with my backpack straps under my desk on my laps. "You know everyone has some kinks right? So I think straight Alphas, or other straight Alphas have some kinks on male omegas and their female omegas can sense that," I nip my lower lips after answering.
"I guess you're right," Lucas agrees. "There are more straight Alphas in here also."
"How can you tell?" I ask staring at him on my left side and watch as his grey eyes squints cutely.
He draw something invisibly on his desk. "They have thick thumb fingers while gay ones have thick middle fingers," he answers flatly and somehow shyly.
Jules and I nearly escaped a chuckle.
I wasn't aware, and never notice or never cared to check.
"How come you never told me this before?" Jules ask with an impressed expression and tone.
"I found it useless to share it with anyone, and besides, I wasn't really sure…. Until recently—" Lucas stops talking when the two Alphas pops in the mini hall.
His eyes met with Lian then fell back to his desk.
Now I'm very curious about checking Bruce's muddle finger and thumb one.
This is interesting.
Bruce's eyes are steering in mine as he walks to the window side following Lian.
The two Alphas have their eyes on us. One are black and while other are hazel but they sometimes changes into golden hazel when—
I don't know.
In a few minutes, the hall has welcomed all the learners and we are staring at our favourite teachers in front of us.
Ms. Ramos she's always in neat clothes with a very beautiful body shape and hair slicked back into a high pony tail
We learners pay attention to the teachers in front of us.
"The lesson of today will be about , heat, intimacy and pregnancy since last we touched about the pheromones and scent marking," Ms. Ramos states.
It's always interesting to listen to the learners gasping when intimacy escapes teacher's lips like it's something special.
"Since Alphas are granted with their mates at the age of 17, and Omegas at the age of 18, and I guess it's the ages of everyone still in school, so it's the best subject to touch right now," Ms. Ramos has papers in her hands while saying and they are all stacked nicely.
She hands Mr. Rodriguez a few of them and then hand them to us.
After that, Mr. Rodriquez bring his palms together like clapping to get our attentions. "Those papers have a few info about what we are going to teach now, and also questions as an assignment which we will pairing you into two." He says.
I don't like the pairing assignment. It always doesn't go well, or maybe not to others but on my side.
"You all know that mate bond scents triggers heat, which makes omegas be vulnerable so obviously it might lead to intimacy sooner than expected and if two are not practicing safety it will lead to pregnancy but I've taught you ways to avoid intimacy like the scent marking it can reduce the overheating on omegas," Ms. Ramos touch that. "And on Alphas, it also reduces the sexual desire in them and keeps it at bay for certain hours."
We nod as a show of understanding to what she's saying.
"And now, for the omegas not to get pregnant, there are rubbers for Alphas and Omegas to prevent that and there are some contraceptives also, but those will be on the assignment and also how the omega get pregnant, don't explain it in scientific way, just general explanation will be great," Mr. Rodriguez says.
My eyes have been on the teachers afront them but they're so itch to have a quick look on Bruce.
Somehow, I can feel that he's staring at me and I want to stare back to be sure that he is.
I don't want to be caught by him so I have to be careful, so I lean back slowly and turn slowly to get welcomed by Lucas's back with my chest so heaved up and glance at him.
A low his escapes my lips after I find him staring outside the window, but Lian caught my eyes only because his looks like they were on Lucas this entire time.
I'm certain that Lucas is Lian's mate just my friend doesn't know yet. They're very compatible naturally.
Unlike me and the brute over there who likes to overcrowd my space and suffocate me with his masculine scent.
That mountain like Alpha – the president school, the brute and... so handsome.
Gosh, Bruce he's handsome even from his side profile and everything.
His blazer is clung so well on his broad biceps and shoulders making him to be splendid.
Hmmmm…
Why am I all of a sudden admiring and complimenting Bruce in my head?
I snap back after Ms. Ramos's voice transmitted in my ears by saying, "Here is the list of the pairing, and I hope there will be no cheating, and both of you will work well together…" she smiles at us. "She starts with the Alphas names then pairs them with their Omegas. Max Carver with Lucas Hall, Bruce Russell with Diego Armando and," she goes on.
I gulped more than thrice, while I hear low complains from the back while I feel the strong and dark tension coming from Bruce to me.
I'm deadly sure that his face is as grimaced as mine or more than mine because what the—
How did Ms. Ramos even come with that conclusion of pairing us?
This is bad. This is a total and calling for a disaster that I didn't want to experience, being paired up with the only guy who hates me in this school.
She goes on, "Alexander Reed with Jules Ross."
I know Max Carver and Alexander Reed, they're best friends and the best teams of the rugby team.
Max Carver he's the captain while Lian he's the captain of Basketball.
Lian he's paired up with some omegas I don't know of and by the look of his face after I gathered some strengths to look at them, Lian he's definitely not happy.
Not mentioning the brute, he's giving me the death eyes while leaned against the wall.
I feel like running away from this school and hide from the world for good.
