My Hot Alpha novel Chapter 43

My morning had went by fast. I was sitting in maths waiting for the bell to ring. It was lunch next and I couldn’t wait to stuff my face. Alanna wasn’t in chemistry and I was worried she had went home.

The bell rung and I made my way to the lunch hall. I could see Lacey but not Alanna. Wait was that Jack? Why was he here? Lifting a tray I picked up some chicken and a green leaf salad. I still had some water and snacks in my bag. Making my way to their table I smiled as Ryan winked at me. He was sat with his football friends.

“Hey”. I smiled taking a seat.

“Hi how has your morning been?”. Lacey grinned. Jack had his arm slung over her shoulder. I was confused as to why he was here. He didn’t attend school anymore.

“It’s been okay. I didn’t see Alanna in chemistry, is she sick?”. I hope she wasn’t away home because of Kane.

“Family business. She did say she’d be back for lunch but I guess not”. Shrugging her shoulders she began to eat her lunch. “Can I ask you something?”. She whispered leaning closer.

“Lacey”. Jack warned.

“I want to know”. She whined.

“Know what?”. I asked noticing the table had went silent.

“Lacey don’t you dare”. Jack hissed but I was intrigued to know what she wanted to ask.

“She’s not”. A girl piped up from the end of the table. I remember her from the night out we went on. Jessica I’m sure her name was. “I mean she’s not his type”. She smirked.

“I wish she was”. Holly sighed. “She’d be good for him and I bet he wouldn’t be such a dick with her by his side”.

“Holly”. Jessica snapped. “Shut up”.

“Are you talking about Jake?”. I asked.

“Yes”. Lacey grinned. “Are you dating?”.

What?

“No”. I laughed. Lacey’s grin fell into a frown. Awkward. “I’m not dating anyone and I plan on keeping it that way until I graduate”.

“See I told you she wasn’t his type”. Jessica giggled.

I didn’t get the chance to speak with Abby, she didn’t turn up to English. This is the only class I have with her so I wondered if she had maybe went home sick. Mr Gallagher didn’t say much to me. I explained I had typed my work up and that it would be handed in on time. English was a breeze.

School was nearly finished and I couldn’t wait to go home and nap. I wasn’t feeling great, I had the worse gut feeling ever. Maybe I could reschedule with Ryan I’m sure he would understand.

My gran had texted me to make sure I would be home after school. She really wanted me to meet George. As the bell went signalling school was over I put my books in my bag and slung it over my shoulder.

Ryan was waiting for me outside my class. “You’re going to hate me Leah. I have to cancel, coach is bursting my balls about the game next Friday. I’m so sorry”.

“It’s okay I’m not really feeling good anyway”. I smiled. “We can reschedule next week”.

“If I can’t do tomorrow I’m free Saturday if that suits you?”.

“I’ll double check with my gran incase she has anything planned but I’ll let you know”.

“Sorry again Leah. I’ll see you tomorrow I have to get back”. As he ran back inside I realised I didn’t have a lift home from school.

“Great”. I sighed just what I needed and to make it worse it started to rain. Buttoning my jacket up I pulled the hood over my head. The parking lot wasn’t empty yet so there may still be someone here that’ll give me a lift. Walking closer to the exit of the school grounds the rain started to become heavier.
