There. That was better.
Tilting my head back, I couldn’t see the stars. That was one of the reasons I decided to go to a school closer to the beach and farther from the city like where I grew up. It was one of the only decisions I got to make when my mom insisted that I go to college and get a degree in something amazing so that I could do something amazing with my life.
No more, no less.
Only I guess, that didn’t quite pan out either.
I wanted some kind of fresh air and to see the stars. I wanted to feel like I wasn’t surrounded by noise all the time, buzzing through my head just like all the other voices telling me what I should and shouldn’t be doing. Right now, or in class throughout the week when I have been acing my courses or right now when I was pretty sure the correct answer was to go home.
Even if my body swayed alone in retaliation as if it didn’t know the music had stopped now.
“I don’t know what I should do,” I whispered down to myself.
“Taking a step out to find me, omega?” A voice came up next to me.
I nearly jumped out of my skin, my heart thumping against my chest.
Brian stood a few feet away from me. He dropped an empty cup onto the dried-out grass.
“Just getting some air. Alone,” I specified. “I’d rather not have company.”
“Aw, well that’s no fun.”
I shrugged. “It was for a minute.”
“But not anymore,” he said. He paused in front of me. “I’m sorry about what I said inside, Vera. I was just trying to joke.”
“Like when you gave me the wrong date to turn in my paper last semester in Dr. Myers's class?”
“It was pretty funny.”
“Not to me.” I was sure the panic I was put through when she was unsure if she would take it and then I’d automatically get a C for the class was just hilarious to someone like Brian. “I just want to stand here for a minute alone right now.”
“Dangerous to be out here alone as an omega.”
I narrowed my eyes at him, but took stock in the voices still behind me and inside the house. What was his problem?
“I think I’m ok.”
As I said it though, a few more of Brian’s friends started to come out from where they stood against the house or somewhere along the edge where Shelby once told me was a prime pissing ground for the boys who didn’t bother to wait in line inside for the bathroom.
Gross.
“Just give us a chance,” said Brian. “You’re one of the most wanted girls on campus.”
My heart started to beat faster in my chest. I looked over my shoulder towards the people I had seen loitering on the porch when I first walked out. I don’t know when, but they all disappeared.
“Never met a frigid omega,” one of Brian’s other friends said. “You’re right.”
“She’s not frigid. You heard the gross shit she was saying inside. She probably begs for cock every other week,” said Sawyer. He reached up and smoothed back his brown hair. It stuck that way, though I couldn’t imagine any of these guys used the product regularly. “That’s basically what an omega lives for, right?”
Brian’s eyes still lingered on me. “Come on, you came to this university for a reason instead of some fancy omega school, right? It’s why you’re such a try-hard in class against me. Constantly trying to one up me. You want me.”
“No.”
“Us, then? You want to be a pack slut omega.” He chuckled, reaching a hand forward to grab my arm where the sleeve of my shirt had ridden up. I wanted to hurl as I felt his harsh touch and smelled his muted sweaty beta scent that was like garbage. “I see it now.”
“Stop it.” I tried to sound strong as I yanked my arm away, but he held strong.
