The Alpha Chose Me

Chapter 24

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.

"Whatever". I mumbled. The chatter at the table began to pick up again. I'm glad I was living rent free in that girls head.
