The Alpha Chose Me

Chapter 27

I was leaning against Alanna's car waiting on her coming out. Jake had sent me a few more messages but I had yet to read them. I didn't know what to do about him. I wanted to get to know him more but I didn't want to put myself right out there.

"Hey girl". She smiled. "Good to go?".

"Yeah".

Alanna didn't quite seem herself, the ride home was quiet but it wasn't awkward. "Are you okay?". I asked.

"I'm okay". She smiled. "Just feel a little sick but I'll be fine. Are you good?".

"I'm glad there's no school for two days. I plan on spending them in my pjs". I had already decided I wasn't going to the beach tonight. I just wanted to chill out with takeout and a movie.

"Are you not coming tonight?". She asked as we pulled up outside Jakes house. I didn't mind, my house was only round the corner.

"I don't think so I'm not really in the mood and I really need to study. Ryan's supposed to be coming over to help me but I don't know how long his practice will be".

"He seems a little busy to help you out. Wasn't he meant to come by last night?".

"What you getting at Alanna?". We were all busy at times. I was just glad he was helping me out.

"You should ask Jake to tutor you". How did I not see that coming?

"Maybe". Unclipping my seatbelt I opened the door and got out. Why would he want to waste his time tutoring me? Surely he was too busy for that.

"He wouldn't mind". She shrugged. "If you change your mind tonight give me a call". I wasn't changing my mind. I had a big bag of hot Cheetos waiting to be eaten.

"I will". Walking the short distance to my house I noticed George was over, could see his car in the drive. I wasn't sure of what I made of George yet but he did make my gran happy.

I could see Jake, he was walking on the opposite side of the street with Jack and a few other guys I met the other night. I had been avoiding his calls and messages all day. Lowering my head I stared at the ground as I walled the rest of the way home. I really needed to start bringing my earphones to school.

"Your phone broke princess?". I didn't even see him cross the street.

"It's not". I didn't stop walking.

"You're killing me here Leah".
