Not another alpha!

Ch. 18: Help! I Have Fallen

Sirius' POV (Angela)

This wasn't good.

I didn't know how to face Denver. Not after what I did at the party. But I still decided to confront her at school anyway and hear my side of the story.

I frowned as I saw Tiffany approaching me as I leaned against my car. Oh great.

"Sirius," she said. Her usual cheerful face was dark.

"What is it?" I asked. I tried to hide my annoyance and act casual.

"I saw what happened at the party with Denver and your sister," she said. Her face twisted into a frown as she stood in front of me with her hands on her hips.

"Yea. So did half the student body at the party. What's your point?" I yawned.

"Since when has your sister become buddy, buddy with that girl? She is a nobody. How can both of you become obsessed with some dumb human girl? So much so that you decided to create a scene at MY party? What would people think? I have a reputation to maintain!" she screeched.

"You are worried about your stupid reputation? This is why you are barking at me this early in the morning? Well, guess what? I don't give a fuck about your precious Barbie image or whatever else you got going on. We just had a minor altercation, that's all. Go eat a granola bar or something and leave me the fuck alone," I said.

"You are the worst! I can't believe I ever liked you! I still do!" Tiffany was fuming.

I grabbed her arm and gazed into her eyes. "I never asked you to like me. You latched onto me because I am the alpha, and you thought it would take you to the top. Sorry to disappoint sweet cheeks, but I am not interested."

Tiffany yanked her arm free. "Fuck off, Sirius!" she cried and stormed off. Hopefully for good this time.

I suddenly saw Denver standing nearby, witnessing the drama between Tiffany and me. Here was my chance to talk to her about the party. I figured since it had been some time, she'd forgive me and give me the chance to clear some things up.

But I was wrong.

Our conversation was no different than any other day. It consisted of me trying to get my words out and her responding with a sarcastic attitude. And next thing I knew, she wiggled out of my grasp and ran for the exit. Into the arms of Mischa. Again.

Fuck it, better luck next time, I guess.

It was almost time for the gym class and today was a Monday, which means it was time to do some weight training.

I picked a spot and started to bench press. Us wolves were already heavily built, so weight training was a piece of cake. I could lift over 200 pounds like it was a piece of feather, but of course, no one else had a clue about that fact.

I saw Denver's friend Joshua in my peripheral vision and smirked as I saw him struggling with some weights. I decided to offer some help as he could be a useful tool to win over Denver.

"Need some help there, buddy?" I tapped on Joshua's shoulder and asked.

"Eh...yeah, could you donate me some of your muscles? I would like to have triceps as big as a tree too," Joshua remarked and flashed me a toothy smile.

"What for? Are you tired of those noodle arms already?" I chuckled.

"I mean...not that I don't think I am remarkably gorgeous already, it wouldn't hurt to look even more amazing. I am trying to impress someone, you see," he said.

I raised my eyebrows. "Who would that be?" I asked even though I already knew the answer as I saw him eyeballing Xavier earlier.

"Your friend Xavier. He is gorgeous. I want to be crushed underneath him while he drinks me like Pina Colada," Joshua said with stars in his eyes.

I winced. "Ugh, dude...TMI. I didn't need that mental picture. You do realize he may not be gay, right?"

"Then explain why my gaydar goes strong every time our eyes meet?" Joshua asked.

"Because you are a fucking weirdo. Just give it up. Xavier won't give you the time of his day. He will beat you up if you come on too strong," I warned him. I opened my mouth to say something more but stopped as I saw Xavier and Xander walk in.

"I am done chit-chatting. Now scram," I barked.

"Yeah, yeah, your friends are here, so you must keep up the appearance. Chow Bello," Joshua waved goodbye and skipped toward the dumbbells. Most likely to work on his noodle arms.

"What were you talking to that brat for?" Xavier asked. He had his eyes fixated on Joshua.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I smirked.

"What is that supposed to mean?" he snarled.

"I didn't mean anything by it. Why are you getting all worked up about it? He asked me to spot him, but I told him to buzz off," I shrugged.

Xavier looked at me suspiciously, then walked towards the bench press. I decided to stay by the wall and do some sit-ups.

"GODDAMMIT!"

I suddenly heard Xavier scream, right after a loud crashing noise.

I quickly jumped up to see what was going on and saw Joshua sprawled across the floor right in front of where Xavier was sitting.

"Help! I have fallen! If only a light-skinned muscular boy with pale blue eyes will carry me to the nurse's office..." Joshua whimpered and looked at Xavier.

Xander scoffed, and I attempted to hide my laughter with a cough. Xavier's face turned red as no one failed to notice how he was the only one that matched Joshua's description.

"What's going on? Joshua, are you okay?" Our gym teacher asked, looking genuinely worried.

"Coach Stevens, Xavier bumped into me, and I fell. I think I hurt my ankle. I think he should carry me to the nurse's office," Joshua replied.

"What! No way," Xavier protested. "Get your ass up, shithead!" Xavier tried to act tough to hide his embarrassment.

"I can't! I am hurt. And it was your fault. Your rock-hard body slammed into me and knocked me over," Joshua insisted.

"Take him to the nurse's office, Xavier," Coach Stevens glared at him.

Xavier grumbled under his breath and picked up Joshua by his arm.

I chuckled. This kid was doing better with Xavier than me with Denver. Maybe I could learn something from him.

Hi y'all.

Thank you for reading.

Gotta hand it to Josh. He's got mad skills when it comes down to it. Do you think Xavier will take the bait?

If you like it then pop a vote and maybe leave comments. I'd love to know what you think.

Give me a follow too for updates. I'd appreciate that.
