What The Alpha King Wants

Layers

'Oh come on, there's no way he could like me '

'Raven it's true. Sam told me that they were talking after lunch and Justin told him that he thought you were cute

I looked at Stacy laughing.

'Yeah right'

'Raven your beautiful, all you need to do is work on your social skills'

'Yeah right I said looking back out the window'

'Look I'm graduating this year so you are going to be all alone next year kiddo'

'Ugh don't remind me

'You'll be fine. I'm always gonna be here for you

I held up my pinky

'Always and forever?'

'Always and forever' she said grabbing onto it

The sounds of our laughing were the last thing I heard when I stirred in my sleep, waking up.

This morning it was raining so getting to school was harder than I thought.

Shit.

I was already ten minutes late and my hoodie and jeans were soaked.

The sound of squishing was made every time I took a step into the office.

Good thing the hallways were clear and everyone was in class.

'Ah miss stokes, late are we?' The front desk lady did

"Sorry rough morning," I said looking at the sign-in sheet

'Well let's not make a habit out of it shall we

"Yes"

'Dear your all wet, are you sure you don't want to stay in the nurse's office till you dry off?'

"No thank you I'll be good," I said taking my slip from her.

I headed to my locker and got a couple of my books out.

I hated being the center of attention so there was no way I was walking into math.

I knew a quiet place where I can get dry.

The Library

As I slipped into the library I headed for my usual escape room in the back.

I knew I looked like a fish that just came out of the water.

I took a seat on the window sill, pulling my hoodie over my head.

I managed to squeeze all the water from my hair and rake it into a bun.

My long-sleeve under top was sorta dry, which was good. I took off my converse and sat them next to my hoodie by the heater in the room.

There was a big bio test that was coming up so I spent the next hour studying or at least trying to and my mind drifted from bio to Stacy.

Throughout the days now I try my hardest not to think about that day or night or her. It was too hard.

One minute it was quiet and I was looking out the rain to the next I drifted asleep.

"Hey," someone said

"Mmmmm," I said trying to get closer to the warm comforting touch the came from a source

"I'm pretty sure the library is used for other things besides sleeping" a deep voice came again

I slowly opened my eyes, sitting up jerking away from his hand
