[BL] Between an Alpha and Omega

H: Warm Welcome

Yibai spent most of class waiting for lunch. That letter was burning a hole in his pocket and he had to nip this problem in the bud now rather than later.

While he wasn't worried too much about being spoken about, the 'cinderella' matter was a sore subject he didn't want spreading. Even though those two weren't here, it was bound to draw their attention.

He had chosen not to interact with them anymore for a reason.

As if the universe was granting him a reprieve, Song Yang wasn't nagging him today. Usually, his class time would be spent ignoring his discreetly passed notes and eager stares.

Today, however, he seemed distracted by something else. His eyes kept darting to the piece of paper inside his desk. Yibai didn't really care, as it just meant he would be free to think about his next plan of action.

As soon as lunch came around, Song Yang jumped from his seat and fled the classroom as if chased by wild dogs. A few students whispered with confusion but most wrote it off as him being dramatic.

This was, after all, the guy who openly declared himself the leader of the classroom.

Yibai was about to leave as well when the doors of the classroom slammed open.

"Where is that no good bastard!?"

Three teens burst into the room, the rest of the class falling silent as they surveyed the room. The teens were definitely delinquents, their swagger and arrogance indicative of their disregard for what is proper.

In essence, troublesome people.

Without a word, Yibai packed up his things and walked to the back entrance. He was quickly spotted however and stopped at the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" One of the boys, possibly the leader, walked over to block his path.

"Lunch."

He wasn't about to deal with something possibly troublesome without something to eat first. To endure annoying things was bad enough but to do so on an empty stomach was just abuse.

"We are looking for the leader of the class here. Do you know where he is?"

Ah, so they wanted Song Yang? That guy must have known he'd poked the sleeping tiger just a bit too much, considering he ran away so quickly. Yibai briefly considered telling them he had run away but chose not to. It wasn't his business and he wasn't about to get involved with such a thing.

Simple things like this had a way of coming back to bite you in the ass.

Yibai shook his head, trying to move past the two at the door but still finding his path blocked.

"Do you think you can just leave before we find him?" The leader pressed. "He caused us a lot of problems.

"And how is that my problem? Am I supposed to wait for you to let me leave?"

The teen, clearly an alpha, seemed put off by Yibai's dismissive answer. He had become used to students either cowering or meekly staying quiet. Yet this beta, despite being shorter than him, showed no fear.

No, instead, he looked bored.

Like he was staring at a child's game.

"You-" The teen was about to snap at Yibai but a tone rang from his pocket. It was a simple melody but one that froze his blood. Without hesitation, he answered the call and spoke in whispered tones.

"Hello?... N-no, we haven't found him yet but we're in his class asking the people here..." He flinched, glancing around the room nervously. "N-no but there aren't any teachers around so it shouldn't be a- ... Yes... Yes."
