My Hockey Alpha

Enzo and I pulled away from each other, looking into one another’s wide eyes with disbelief. Somehow, our plan had worked; all of the rogues had been turned back into our classmates! I couldn’t help but let out an incredulous laugh and throw my arms around Enzo’s neck, grinning as he picked me up off my feet and spun me around. When he sat me back down, I saw that he was grinning and laughing, too.

“Hello?” a frightened voice called out from the supply closet, followed by a knocking sound on the door and the lab table scraping on the floor slightly as the students tried pushing the door open. “Is anyone there?”

Enzo and I quickly ran over to the door, moving the table out of the way. Almost as soon as we did, the door swung open and out poured a steady stream of confused, groggy-looking students who clearly had no recollection of anything that happened. As they filed out of the supply closet and filled the infirmary, they all looked around with the same baffled expression on their faces while Enzo and I could only stand by in a state of utter shock that our plan had somehow worked.

As the students slowly began to realize that not only the infirmary, but the entire campus was completely destroyed, the realization seemed to come to them.

“What happened?” one girl said.

Another boy who looked like a freshman rubbed his head and frowned, furrowing his brow. “I remember… There was an attack…”

“We’ll explain everything,” I said as I ushered more frightened students out of the tunnels. “Everyone, just stay calm. Sit down if you need to.”

Finally, as I frantically searched the growing crowd for familiar faces, I spotted both Justin and dean Cynthia at the back of the group. Justin looked completely confused, but Cynthia seemed to have her wits about her. They both rushed forward as they saw me.

“What happened?” Cynthia asked, looking around in shock as she quickly pulled me to the side, keeping her voice low so the students wouldn’t overhear and become even more panicked.
