"How are you going to head home tonight? By yourself?" Azriel asked, and that was when I remembered about the text I received this morning from my best friend. It was about me texting him if I'd like to go home with him. I had thought I was going to be doing this at a certain point because of the fact that I still have to shop for some suppressants at a store after school.
But, I wasn't sure if that was the case at this point.
Ash was someone I trusted so much, he was literally the only person I've ever trusted to this extent. I was a hundred percent sure he wasn't going to be doing a thing to me against my will, only to blame it on my scent. Ash was way better than that, also I wasn't sure if it was because I was a boy and not the gender he was usually into.
Not allowing myself to think about that particular thing, I shoved the thought out of my mind and quickly made use of the suppersant, and then I leaned against the back of my seat again.
"I don't think I can afford to go home alone today," I started to say after a moment and Ella nodded her head instantly.
"You can't. Some stupid alpha or Beta can decide to take advantage of you." She pointed out and Azriel started to argue with her the next moment.
"Hey! Betas have so much self control than Alphas."
"I never said they don't, all I said was that they could also take advantage of him." Ella explained to Azriel, and she wasn't wrong in any way. It was obvious that Betas could very much control themselves more, way more than alphas, but there are still some stupid betas out there who'd chose to just take advantage of an omega, just because they can.
"Who would you be going home with?" Azriel asked this time and I felt my stomach start to swoop a little as I made to respond to his question, shifting a little in my seat.
"With Ash, I'll be going with him,"
"Ouuu, the crush and roommate in one person?" Ella cooed beside me and I felt my cheeks start to heat up almost immediately.
"Shut up." I mumbled after a couple of seconds has passed.
"Don't tease him today, Ella. Remember, he's not in a really good mood." Azriel called out to Ella after a fleeting moment has passed and I watched as Ella slapped a hand over her mouth as soon as Azriel's words sank into her head.
"No, it's fine." I said to her, forcing a small smile on my face for reassurance. And it really was fine, I wasn't feeling as sour minded as I had felt after I had gotten to school this morning, so I really doubt if I was going to end up flaring up at her because of a harmless tease.
"I don't think the professor is still going to make it at this point." A voice called out from the front of the class and everyone's attention got moved to the front of the class at the same time. The class president was the one who had spoken up. He was a twenty year old boy, and he was an alpha who was more on the smaller side than the larger side when it comes to building.
"So that means we can go home?" Someone asked from the back after a few moments had passed and a low murmur ensured in the next moment.
I turned towards my friends as well. "I can't believe the professor didn't end up coming to class today, after making us wait unnecessarily for almost an hour." Azriel was the first to speak and I breathed out a small sigh, feeling hurt because I had not only wasted my time, but also some of the one hour effect of the suppressant.
"That's so sad, he could have just told us he wasn't going to be able to make it, to avoid making us wait unnecessarily for a non-existent class." Ella grumbled out after a fleeting moment. I was about to say something as well, but the class head interrupted us because he chose to speak into a microphone this time, shutting everybody up at once.
"Everyone, listen please." He started to speak and after some time, the whole class fell silent.
"The thing is, you can't leave yet, because we're not sure of what's going to happen. I am unable to reach him, so I'm not sure if we're still going to be having the class or not." The class head paused and glanced at his phone when it suddenly vibrated on the top of one of the speakers.
