Ashley squish her pillow. She lick her dry lips and positioning her foot under the blanket. She had a warm shower and warm milk made by his brother. She feels fresh after washing her teeth. She wants to sleep and dream about happy things only. Maybe she could dream about her dream mate. She giggles.
Ashley picks up her phone and click on the message app. Searching for his name. His status is online. She types fast.
Ashley: Are you home yet?
She waits. A quick three second reply from him.
Matthew: Yes. You?
Ashley: Me too. I'm ready for bed now.
Matthew: Me too.
Ashley: Goodnight.
Matthew: Goodnight.
Ashley throws away her phone and scream out loud under the pillow. She almost can't breath. She is too happy.
Earlier at the bus station, when Matthew hugged her back, and she could feel his heartbeat. After the hug, they change a gaze with each other and Ashleh could see through his eyes, that he need her. It is possible for him to become her mate. If she had a courage to say that she need him too.
After she got back from the bus station, she told her Dad and brother about it.
"I found my mate!" She yelled as soon as she opened the door.
"What?" Brian shocked. Dad bursted out water he drink from his mug.
"I felt his heartbeat! The time stopped and we looked into each others' eyes!" Ashley is so exciting and tell her family.
"You should bring him here for a dinner." Said Brian.
"Are you sure he is your soulmate?" Dad asked.
"Not yet Dad. I will confess to him after the final examination." She said.
"I'm so happy for you." Brian ruffled her sister's hair.
"What are you waiting for? Just bite his nape and you'll be done!" Dad can't wait.
Brian glances at their Dad sharply. Ashley is still young. She doesn't have to be mated with others just because she has found her soulmate at young age. Love can grow within times and if it's mean to be forever, they can always find each other back. Ashley conquer her feelings. She will let Matthew knows once she found a right time.
A week has passed. The senior of the students finally had the final examination for the final year. Even though they had finished the exam, they still have vital entrance college examination around the corner. They can enjoy the free time while preparing for the next examination.
Wendy is busy with her student council. She needs to prepare for the rank after she gets the result from the school board. She does not have a time to be in classroom. She studied the examination in the student council room for the past week. Ashley always come by to give her food and check on her.
"Hi.." Ashley's came in to the student council room. There are few people in the room. One of them is using a laptop, one is filing books and one is having a conversation with other.
"Ashley Moon!" A familiar voice greet her.
"Kevin? What are you doing here?" Asks Ashley. She is surprised seeing Kevin in the student council.
"Ashley, help me. I'm being tortured here. I didn't know Wendy Scott is our president. She always make me do errands for her. I can't do this anymore!" He pretend to cry. He even has an eyebag now.
"Where is she?" As soon as Ashley asks for her, Wendy came from the bathroom.
"Kevin!" She yell. Kevin quickly hide behind Ashley's back.
"Wends! You look like a zombie. Are you having enough sleep yet?" Ashley surprise to see her friend is not herself anymore. She wear her blazer inside out and her tie is just hanging around her neck.
"Ashley...We need to do the club meeting right away. The examination result will be announced today." Wendy say with one of her eyes close.
"Forget about the meeting! You need a sleep!" Ashley worries. Ashley looks at Kevin. He can be a trusted person.
"Kevin, can you bring her to the infirmary. Make sure she gets some sleep." Ashley pat on his shoulder. Kevin feels special.
"Wends, I will see the club members in your place. Just get a rest. You looks like you will faint in any second. Take care." Ashley say goodbye. She left her in Kevin's care. She has to attend the club meeting for the announcement.
It is in school hour when the students are still in their classroom. The senior students also in their class having a chill time because they had their final exam. It's time for them to wait for the result announcement.
Ashley run in the corridor while checking her phone. A message from the chat group asking for immediate meeting in the nearest cafe. Ashley has to hurry. She uses the back door and climb the wall to get out of the school building. Unlike her first time, now she is an expert of climbing walls. With so much practices of skipping school of course.
Arriving at the cafe, Ashley quickly found Eric at the table. He is still waiting for the others.
"Have your school result announce yet?" He asks.
"Not yet. Maybe after the school hour they will announce it. Wendy gave me the scoreleading board school access to me. I can email the results later." Ashley reports.
"Tyler's school is the only one that will announce the result later at night. I hope we can compile it before midnight." Eric is a little worried.
"The school has already got the result right? Why did they want to announce it late? Can we look in their system or something?" Asks Ashley.
"Yeah. Tyler told me he will try to find a way to get the result no matter what. Jay is already compiling his school results with mine. He will be here in a minute." Eric bite his lips for being so nervous.
"Calm down Eric." Ashley notices that his scent is quite strong from the beginning. He could attract any omega towards him in this condition.
Finally Jay, Tyler and Alexia came. They are all nervous for the result. Once they get the result, they will announce it in the chatting group of the senior students and the name of the winner will be send via message. They shall remember the name for 3 months because he/she will become the alpha leader in their territory. The school will be under his/her rule.
