Jean sighed and was relieved when he was not with Lucas anymore because they had to separate in the class hallway. Honestly, he is not ready yet to return to school; moreover, his reason for taking his day off from school is not strong enough, but strangely, the school agreed. The fact is, Jean does not know the valid reason that his parent gave to the school. Again, Jean sighed and touched the collar on his neck, which looked so good and pretty, but Jean was overwhelmed by what response he would get from his friends; he felt nervous and scared about it.
"Jeanisse!"
When he arrived in the cafeteria, Jean was startled when his friends called him by his nickname on his gang. After Jean placed his ass on one of the chairs where he and his friends usually hang out, nobody knew what a difference he was today; they just focused on asking him about what made him take his day off from school for up to one month.
Jean put his finger on his temple and started to massage it when some questions his friends gave him confused him when they combined curiosity with noise. "Stop, stop it. You all made our Jeanisse traumatized." One of his friends, Jimmy, said to stop another noise, but not long after that, Jimmy banged on the table and stared at him thoughtfully.
Jean blinked his eyes several times when he saw his friend change. "I heard you had an accident," Jimmy said; he looked so severe, and then his other friends followed him to put a serious and curious face on. "You didn't go to school for a full month, and do you know what it is? yeah, it's crazy because I want it too." Again, Jimmy banged on the table.
"Stop doing it! you want me to have a heart attack!?"Jean said to replied Jimmy and glared at him.
"You skipped a lot of interesting things!" his friend, Louis, said to trigger Jean's curiosity.
"That grumpy student council president finally accepted Jeffrey, and you must know that Jeffrey did it in the middle of the crowd of people!" Warren added to make him more curious, and after that, they returned to their noises; even now, the reason for their noise is what Warren said about the student council president.
Jean now didn't care about some gossip circulating in his school. He hid his head in his folded hands on the table, waiting for his friends to finish their conversation that was not focused on him.
Jean startled and straightened up his body while covering a collar on his neck when someone touched it. His eyes opened widely, aghast, and he found someone he didn't like enough. A young man who confidently admitted to all the school people that he is a Yin's breed born as a male, maybe even to the whole world, Terry Lewson.
Jean stared at Terry Lewson with an unfriendly look when that young man was standing next to him precisely and stared at his neck closely, even to exact, until he felt uncomfortable with it. What does that freak Omega want? Jean does a monologue, annoyed.
"Are you wearing an accessory on your neck?" Terry said to ask him.
Jean's eyes popped, and he tried to hide a thing on his neck more. His eyes moved, and he found that his friends started paying attention to him because of what Terry said about his neck. "I'm—"
"I think it's not an ordinary accessory, and it is Yin's, right?" Terry asked again and accidentally cut off Jean's sentence.
Sounded, his friends gasped, and Jean panicked more; he didn't even know how to deny Terry's arraignment that it was accurate indeed.
"Wa-wait! A Yin's collar? A Yin's collar?!" Louis started stormy; a young man with a cute face popped his eyes and was speechless because he didn't believe what Terry said, which brought them into an assumption toward Jean.
"Oh damn, Jeanisse, you are an Omega?!" Jimmy shouted, and people around them started staring at their table.
Jean did not know how to explain his situation to them; he is an Omega indeed, but it would no longer be because he would do some procedure to get surgery to disappear that title to his identity that will be change into a female.
Jean wants to drown himself in the deep, and if he finds himself dead by a fisherman, he will leave a mark that the cause of his death is Jimmy Norris, an idiot who made people around them stare at Jean now.
Fuck you, Jimmy!
It was his grandparent's fault; they forced Jean to wear that thing on his neck because they didn't want something terrible to happen to him. Jean himself is not sure about something bad that they were worried about all the time; he is not sure there is another Alpha besides Lucas because Yang's breed is rare enough; there are only a few Alpha in each country, and it's mostly coming from a clan or an orthodox tribe like his grandparent do in the village where they were living. Jean's grandparents had a clan that they managed and filled by Alpha, Omega, and Beta.
Unlucky for him, the news that Jean is an Omega would spread faster like a deadly virus; Jean knows well the characteristics of the students in this school, including his friends with big mouths. Jean stood up from his place and ran away without answering their questions. He hates it.
Jean glared at Jimmy, one of the friends, with an annoyed mouth and talked too sharply; Jimmy kept mocking him with his snappy words when his secret revealed because of Terry, his face showing that he was so mad, but they did not show the sign they want to stop; even they becoming more enjoyable with that without considering it will hurt him.
Jean banged on the table because he was sick of being mocked. He realized he just got spontaneous karma because of hating Omega, but can they stop mocking him? Isn't he just got ramifications? He glared at all his friends individually: Jimmy, Dion, Louis, Warren, and Ken. They were already outrageous.
"I'll get surgery!" Jean shouted, hoping his friends would be silent after he revealed his plan because he also didn't want to be an Omega; he preferred being a female over an Omega. Jean thought.
"Do you think I want it? I never want to be an Omega!" Jean said he got mad, his breath grunted with indignant eyes.
Immediately after Jean shouted, they were silent and stared at Jean, who seemed annoyed by their jokes, which may have been worse than before. Jean is probably sensitive enough now, and his friends understand it well. Jean thought he was speaking loudly and firmly would make them stop, but after several seconds, they stared at each other and laughed louder.
"If that's so, be my girlfriend," Ken said, making another laugh from his friends.
"I hate you all!" Jean was hissing.
"Hey, what's going on?" Jean was startled, turned his head to his left, and found Terry Lewson again.
Terry stared at Jean with his head tilted and his eyes blinking while staring at him before he sipped a cup of drink that he was carrying in his hand and put a smile on as if he understood what was going on here; it triggered Jean as well.
"Jeanisse said he wants to get surgery because he was always bullying you," Jimmy said to replied Terry.
"Jimmy Norris, I swear to god I'll kill you!" Jean says to threaten Jimmy, sounding so severe, but Jimmy responds with a sweet smile that annoys him.
Jean grunted and then stood up from his chair. He wanted to get out of there, but Terry grabbed his wrist, and immediately, Jean pulled his hands back from Terry. "Hey, it seems like we need to talk," Terry said without feeling offended when Jean wiped his wrist with a tissue.
Again, Terry touched Jean, and he seemed not to give up even though he got an uncomfortable glare from Jean, and he succeeded in making Jean return to his chair. "I heard you hate me," he said, starting the conversation.
Jean clicked his tongue and then grabbed anything on the table to play with it. "You're bad at hearing," he said to reply to Terry's indictment, which was not entirely true.
"Oh, that's not true? so, you do not hate me?" Again, Terry smiles after responding to Jean's question.
"Don't harbor hatred for the same species," Terry said, and Jean clicked his tongue. "Omega is not as bad as you think. We are an amazing and special asset," he forwarded.
"Oh, let me show you something," Terry said, then seemed hurried, rummaging something from his pocket. "One week after I admitted, I'm being hunted by many parties and forced to do a test, and you know the result is positive," he forwarded, and here he is like does storytelling to the children; all Jean's friends are listening to him, even Jean himself waiting for the following words from the story.
A satisfied smile Terry put on his face because he had succeeded took all the attention of Jean's friends. Terry showed his cell phone, showing a picture of him for the cover of a famous magazine. "Find out I'm a real Omega; they offer me promising contracts," he said.
"Oh, he's right. I saw him on a billboard downtown yesterday," Warren said in response to what Terry said about him.
Terry Lewson does not brag about it, and even everyone in the school already knows his activities as an Omega, a new star from one of the branded fashions. And Jean knows nothing because he is too busy with his contradiction.
"Think again, even if you already think that is the best decision. A thing based on hatred is not the best thing," Terry said before standing up and walking away with a satisfied smile.
"Oh shit, he is so rich now because he is an Omega," Jimmy said while staring at Terry's back.
"If that's so, I wanna be an Omega too!" Louis said, suddenly turning all his attention to him.
"We want to be an Omega if we have luck as Terry Lewson, you idiot," Dion replied.
