This unfortunate fallout lead to Zeke believing he could take another shot at a friendship. he didn't feel remotely embarrassed about the making out with his former best friend, in fact he felt manly and alpha about it.
Zeke walked into his class in the new year, late obviously as alphas do and many faces turned to look at him.
He found himself locking eyes with one man in the room, a short, skinny beta with big brown curly hair. "Who's that fine fellow?" he asked the boy to the right side of his assigned seat.
"That kid is Ajax, I heard his parents are pretty wealthy but this kid stands no chance against the big alphas, right?" the classmate said with a pat to Zekes shoulder and a slight chuckle as both of them redirected their attention to the whiteboard.
They played a few team building games as a class, in all of which Zeke tried to slowly inch closer to this mysterious 'Ajax'.
As he was walking over to this mystery hunk, he tripped on a Lego piece and in what felt like slow motion, Zeke landed on top of the noticeably shorter Ajax, pinning him against the floor. The class went quiet, no one moved a muscle, until
the bell rang.
