Hey, Noah. You seemed a bit distracted back there,” Emma observed, taking a seat next to him.Noah sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I guess I am. Today has been… overwhelming.”Emma nodded in understanding.
“It’s a lot to take in, I know. But hey, you did great out there cheering for the alphas!”Noah managed a weak smile.

Emma encouraged, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. Taking a deep breath, Noah began to open up about his interactions with the alphas—their kindness, their charisma, and the confusing mix of feelings they stirred within him.
He talked about Liam’s protective nature, Ethan’s intellectual prowess, and Jack’s unexpected warmth.
“I don’t know what to make of it, Emma,” Noah admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. “I feel drawn to all three of them in different ways, and it’s… overwhelming.”Emma listened attentively, nodding along as Noah poured out his heart.
When he finished, she offered him a reassuring smile.“It sounds like you’ve found yourself in quite the predicament, Noah,” Emma said gently. “But remember, it’s okay to feel confused. You’re navigating uncharted territory here, and it’s natural to feel uncertain.”Noah nodded, grateful for Emma’s understanding.
“I just don’t want to lead them on or hurt anyone in the process,” he confessed.“Then take your time, Noah,” Emma advised. “Get to know them better, and most importantly, listen to your heart. You’ll find your way.”

Armed with a renewed sense of purpose, Noah resolved to approach his interactions with the alphas with an open heart and mind.
He knew that the road ahead wouldn’t be easy, but he was determined to stay true to himself and follow wherever his feelings led him.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the campus, Noah felt a sense of calm settle over him. Whatever the future held, he was ready to face it, knowing that he had friends like Emma by his side.
