My Professor Is My Alpha Mate

Chapter 248 Winning The Election

Lila’s POV

“Lila! Are you okay? What happened?” Becca asked as she caught up with me. I was walking toward the student lounge after I left Headmaster Prescott’s office and my head was still whirling from all the information that was just given to me. I looked at Becca who stared back at me with concern in her eyes. I went to open my mouth to answer but then the crackling of the campus speakers stopped me “Good: afternoon, students. This is Headmaster Tiffany Prescott. I know you are all wound up after the events unfolded earlier today, and I wanted to personally apologize to each of you for not realizing something was going on and putting an end to it right away: Going forward we are going to be putting in some extra security to ensure that nothing like this happens again. The school counselor is also opening her doors to any students for the next couple of weeks so you can see her without an appointment. My doors, along with my fellow board members‘ doors, will also be open to anyone needing some extra guidance in these unforeseen weeks. I assure you that the issue at hand has been dealt with and nothing like this will ever happen again. I’d like to remind students that using their abilities on one another is forbidden and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. If you or anyone you know is in fact using their abilities on their peers, I advise that you come forward. We will be looking into all students with abilities and if we find you are using your abilities dishonorably, we will be forced to take measures. I know it’s been a long day for many of you so I’m canceling classes for the rest of the day and I suggest each of you get some rest to recoup. Dinner will be served per usual in the dining hall at 5 pm” She paused for a moment, only allowing the light buzzing of the speaker to roam around the campus ground. Becca and I stood, staring up at the sky as if Headmaster Prescott’s face was there. “Also let me be the first to congratulate Lila for winning the election and becoming the first–ever President of the Student Committee. First thing Monday morning Lila will begin her duties and her first meeting with be held Monday at 2 pm If anyone wants to join the committee, please see Lila. With that being said if anyone has any questions or concerns, please speak with your assigned

advisors, or speak with me directly Thank you and have a very blessed day” The speakers cut out and the entire campus was completely silent I couldn’t even hear anyone breathing After what felt like an eternity, everybody erupted into cheers and applause Becca was the first to hug me tightly with a large smile spread across her face. Congratulanons Lila” She coord excitedly. “Tmso- happy for you!!!” Others who were passing by also stopped to give me quick hugs and congratulate me. I smiled at them and hugged them back, pretending to be as excited as I could be Don’t get me wrong 1 was very pleased to be in charge of the student committee. It was exactly what I wanted, but I didn’t like how it happened. I only won by default because Sarah cheated and got disqualified I also couldn’t seem to get Scott out of my head and all that he’s been going through these last few months because of Sarah Then, another thought popped into my head and my heart fell directly into my stomach as I quickly turned to Becca who was chatting with a few other students about how excited they were for the “Where’s Brody asked her. She frowned at me and glanced at the student lounge. He said he was going to sit i there until your meeting was over,” she said I didn’t say anything more. I turned away and ran right into the student lounge where I was met with a crowd of students who were all cheering for me I smiled at them trying of get past them but they wouldn’t let me go any further without hugs and praises As much as I appreciated it. I really needed to see Brody Thankfully, he appeared amongst the crowd and though I could see the worry and sadness lingering in his eyes, he met me with a large grin and opened his arms out for me to walk into. I’m so happy for you,” he said as he tightened hus hold on me “Thank you.” I said, peering up at him. “Are you okay”” He didn’t anwer me, but he gave me a sad sinde “Can we talk somewhere I then asked. He nodded and pulled me through the crowd of students who finally broke apart to return to whatever they were doing We sat at our usual table in the back of the student lounge. and he slumped down in his seat, looking all sorts of worn out. Sarah got into a lot of trouble,” I finally said after a long silence. He nodded, not looking at me. “I figured,” he murmured. “She didn’t get expelled. though. I said. “But she is kind of grounded. She can’t go anywhere other than the dining hall, her classes, and the library. Oh, and her dorm.” He met my eyes. “So, she didn’t get kicked out?” “Nope.” I said, giving him a small smile. She did not. She also owned up to her mistake, despite her father trying to get her to shut up. She admitted she manipulated their minds and that she’s

at fault.” A small smile appeared on his lips. “She did?” I nodded, keeping my eyes locked on his “But that doesn’t excuse her actions. Brody She did a lot of shitty things with her powers. I have a feeling she had more to do with that vandalism than she’s saying” He rassed his brows at my words. “The vandalism at the art exhibit?” He asked, cocking his

head to the side. “I thought it was Scott who did that?” “It was,” I admitted. “Bur Scott was the one who told me about Sarah’s abilities and that she used it on him and her group of friends a lot. He told me it was her that got him to vandalize the exhibit. I didn’t believe him at first…” I paused to gather my thoughts. “But I think I believe him now.” He lowered his gaze. “Are you going to turn her in?” I was quiet for a moment; truth be told, I wasn’t sure. But after a moment I sighed. “No…” I finally answered. “But I think Sarah needs to do the right thing and turn herself in. Scott lost a lot because of that. His family paid a lot of money to get that exhibit fixed. Scott was also kicked off the football team and lost most of his friends and the respect of his peers. He also now has a police record. It’s not fair to him to get in trouble for something he had no control over I think Sarah needs to do right by him.” “And you think I can convince her to do that?” He asked, furrowing his brows together. “I doubt she will listen to a thing I say.” “No, I’m not asking you to speak to her. I’m trying to get you to understand that Sarah is not a walk in the park and if you want to be with her, you have to understand who you are signing up for…” I paused for a moment when I saw the struggle on his face. I reached my hand across the table and took hold of his hands in mine. “Brody, I care about you. You’ve become one of my best friends and I

have so much respect for you. I would hate for Sarah to turn you into something you’re not like she did with Scott. I want you to keep yourself protected.” “I think I can handle myself just fine, Lila, I’m not exactly a weak boy like Scott..” He sounded bitter when he spoke Scott’s name. Not that I could blame him. “I don’t doubt that,” I said softly. “I know you’ve been wanting to talk to her. She should be leaving the board building right about now and probably heading to her dorm. It’s not like she can go anywhere else other than the library and I somehow doubt she went there. You can probably catch her on her way there.” He quickly stood to his feet. “Thank you.” he said to me, bowing slightly. “Oh, by the way, can I still be part of the committee? Like I was last year?” I smiled fondly at him. “Of course,” I said in return, standing to my feet. “I have to do some recruiting to see who wants to remain on the committee and who wants to join. I’m glad to have you on board.” His grin widened. “Despite Sarah being my mate and our future being up in the air; I’m glad you won.” I smiled in return, trying to make it as genuine as possible. “Me too.” I said in return. “Oh, before you leave, have you seen Rachel anywhere?” He shook his head. “Not since the election. She disappeared when everything got weird,” he said, scratching his head. “Actually, she left very quickly. I blinked and she was gone. I was so focused on Sarah that I didn’t even think about it.” “Hmmmm,” I said thoughtfully. “Okay, well thanks.” He gave me a wave before running out of the student lounge, leaving me alone with my thoughts. “Looking for Rachel?” A girl asked as she walked by my table. “Yes, have you seen her?” I asked, standing to my feet. “I saw her leaving campus a couple of minutes ago. I think she was with her father and Alpha Jonathan.”
