An Alpha's Pride (Jamie and the Alpha Book 2)

25

      Bored out of her mind, Elaine sat in the library at Washington State with a books on business finance and sociology open and ready to be studied but the alpha girl couldn't care less. 

      Sure she knew the classes had it's merits for her future but she was more interested in watching how her team played while she was home with Jamie and his family. 

      Since their blow out loss to the Portland Oddballs the Rhinos would go on to win a close game against the BullFrogs and another blow out loss to the Widows making them 2-3 on the season. 

      Determined to help her team win to both help put her coach at ease and raise her own profile for AFL drafts she watched their latest game on her phone, taking notes on what they did wrong and what she could try to improve on if she was given the chance to start for her team once again. 

          "You know, I'm getting the feeling that's not what your supposed to be studying jock head." the seductive beta, Trisha Steel quipped, taking a seat next to Elaine and crossing her long legs.   

          "Shut up." Elaine laughed putting her phone down looking over to the girl. 

      Like many of the other times Elaine had seen the beta girl she once again wore quite the tight revealing outfit with a deep V neck tank top expositing a tasteful amount of cleavage and tight blue ripped pants with brand new black and white vans. 

           "Hey, I'm just looking out for you." she shrugged with a smile, "I'd just hate for my favorite player to get sidelined because of her shit grades."  

      Elaine laughed again, throwing her head back and wiped her tired eyes. 

           "It's not my fault they make this shit so fucking boring." the alpha groaned, motioning to her books.

            "Then why'd you pick it to study?" Trisha asked, scooting closer to Elaine and picking one of the two books up from the table giving it a once over. 

          "I don't know. My mates dad suggested I take the course and I didn't really care." she said picking up her phone to continue to play the highlights from their last game, watching their captain allow a big gap in their backfield form giving the opposing quarterback an easy throw for fifteen yards.

           "You know if you took notes on your classes a well as you did on football then you wouldn't have to worry about all this." Trisha said, noting the very detailed notes in her note black pad.

      While not a very good student when it came to academics, Elaine was very astute when it came to studying the game of football.

      Half of her notes were detailed in how best to train speed and mobility while the others were detailed offensive routes she knew offences liked to run and where she could place herself and her team to shut them down.  

      Then there was another page listing her teammates strengths and weakness when it came to both offense and defense.

      Trisha was honestly impressed with how detailed her notes on football were. Meanwhile her notes on her actual classes were one word sentences and just scribbles. 

      Elaine desperately needed help. 

          "Why don't you put that down and I'll help you study." she offered, "When's your test?" she asked, popping a piece of gum into her mouth. 

           "Tomorrow, and I got two more on Thursday and Friday."  the Brazilian alpha groaned. 

           "And did you study for them?" Trisha asked raising an eyebrow.
