The Alpha Chose Me

Could always say I wasn't feeling well.

Getting in the passenger side I closed the door and put on my seatbelt. Before I knew it we were out of there and on the main road.

"Second day of school and already skipping. Yay me". I groaned.

"You worried shorty?".

"Should I be?".

Shrugging his shoulders he took a left and then another left. We pulled up to the coffee shop I was at with Alanna.

"What about you won't you get in trouble?". I asked as we both got out of the car and headed inside. Finding a seat I took of my jacket hanging it over the back of my chair. "Straight A's baby". He smirked. "I'm real smart. Now do you want coffee?".

"Yes please". I smiled.

As Ryan was getting our coffees I was scrolling through used cars that were way out of my budget. Maybe I should be looking through job websites instead. "Leah?".

Looking up from my phone Lacey was standing there. "Hey". I smiled. I noticed she wasn't in school today either.

"Free period?". She asked.

"Not really. We skipped".

"We?". She frowned just as Ryan placed my coffee in front of me.

"Yes me and Ryan. Hey where's my muffin?".

"Chill shorty I'm just going back to get it". He huffed.

"Should you really be hanging around here with Ryan?". She asked. She kind of looked disappointed. Wasn't I allowed to grab coffee with a friend?

"Eh why not?". I asked confused by her question.

"Never mind I have to go". She about turned and left the shop. She didn't even buy coffee. That was weird.

"Muffin m'lady". Placing it in front of me I couldn't wait to dig in.

"Thank you and thank you for putting a smile on my face. I wasn't really having a good day".

"How come?". Taking his seat he began to eat his own muffin.

"Have you always lived here?".

"Yes why?".

"I don't know I just feel weird at times. This town feels weird too and my street". Rolling my eyes I took a sip of my coffee. "I mean have you seen the size of the houses over there". "Told you it's a rich bit".

"But I'm not rich, my grans not rich heck I can't even afford my own car. It's just a strange situation".

"Why did you move here?". He asked.

"Fresh start I guess". Shrugging my shoulders I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip. I had no idea why we moved. "Florida had always been my home. We weren't having difficulties, our life's were stable but my gran got up one morning and decided she was putting the house on the market".

"But why Texas, why here?".

"No idea".

"You homesick?".

Nodding my head yes I broke our stare. I still hadn't built up the nerve to read the message Tommy had sent. I missed the warmth. I missed the smell of the ocean. I missed my best friend Lana.

"I miss my old life". I half smiled pushing the plate away from me. I suddenly wasn't in the mood for it anymore.

"I'm sorry Leah. That must be hard for you and I bet some people here don't make it any easier".

Picking up my cup I held it in both hands. No they didn't and I had no idea why. "You could say that". For instance there was a girl sitting at a table a few feet away from us with her friends and she was glaring at me so hard. "There's a girl glaring at me right now". "Want me to make a scene?". He grinned pushing his chair back.

Laughing I shook my head no. I didn't need to give her anymore reason to hate me. How can someone glare at you when they don't even know you?

"Girls can be mean it's sad really because I'm all for hyping girls up, fixing their crown and all that". Sighing I finished off my coffee. "Oh no she's coming over here". I groaned.

"Your Leah?". She asked looking me up and down.

"Eh yes do I know you?". I wasn't a rude girl, I was always pleasant but I had my limits.

She smirked.

"What does he see in you. I mean look at what you're wearing. You're not strong enough for him". Flicking her hair over her shoulder she looked at her friends and then back at me. "Stay away from Jake bitch". Really?Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
