The Forbidden Alpha

Chapter 16

After a few days, everything went back to somewhat normal. I went back to school and back to work. A few people asked me where I've been at school, just told them that I was ill, so they would leave me alone.
Kenny, when he saw me come in to school this morning, he walked over to the car and opened the door for Lilly and I. Of course he kissed me but I flinched some when he did, thinking about the dream I had about this woman telling me he's whatever he is. I didn't want to believe it. He was, well is, sweet and I've known him damn near my whole life. Not as long as Lilly but still.
I do know, I don't feel the connection between us anymore where I love him since that dream. I don't know if it's me being paranoid or what.
The next following day, when my mother dropped us off, there was a few new shiny cars and SUV's in the parking lot. Everyone was surrounding them like they were newborn puppy dogs or something. When Lilly and I got to the door, someone had called my name and when I turned to see who it was, I saw Adrian staring back at me.
I breath got caught in my throat where I almost fell over but grabbed ahold of the stairwell before I did fall.

"Cris," someone said my name again.

This time I looked where I heard it and it was Kenny.

"Babe?" Kenny called.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"You okay, you looked like you were about to faint there for a moment." He asked me.
"I'm good, I lost my footing when you called me. What's up?" I said questioningly.
"Do you work tonight?" He asked me.
"You know I do. I barely get a day off. Why?"
"Well there's this new movie coming out in the theaters and I wanted to take you tonight." He told me.
"As in a date?" I asked.
"Well yeah, what other way would it be?"
"I didn't know if it was gonna be just us or Jenny and Lilly were coming."
"No, Jenny has plans tonight with someone and well I don't know about Lilly." Kenny said as he looked over towards Lilly.
"I don't but thanks for asking." Lilly said chuckling. "But I can leave Cris alone tonight for you. I actually want to check up on some chores at the house." Lilly brought up. "My parents keep bragging about the chores to me for a few days."
"What's your excuse for not doing them?" I asked her trying to look over at Adrian but it was kinda hard not to.
"Just didn't want to do them and plus been hanging out with y'all." She said chuckling.

I shook my head at her as I turned around and head inside the school to go to class. Before walking into the door, I turned my head to take one more look at Adrian. He was still looking our way but I could tell he looked hurt for some reason, just couldn't pin point it.
The 1st 3 classes went by with a blur, which was a good thing because I didn't want to be here anymore than I wanted too. I was walking into my 4th class when I had saw him. Adrian was sitting in the back of the class with a few of his people. His one friend, looked up at me as I can in and elbowed Adrian, getting his attention to look at me. Adrian looked up at me and stared me down until I got to my seat which was in front of him.
I sat there for a good minute until I turned around to face him and finally spoke to him.

"Thought you go to the school that's close to your land?" I asked.
"I did, but everyone that went to that school had to go to a different school and this school is close to where I live." He said as he was playing with his pen.
"Oh why is that?"
"Some dumbass, caught the school on fire." He said. "The next closest school to me is 4 hours away and it's one of those church schools. I'm good on that."
"Those schools ain't that bad. I've been to a few of them when I was younger." I told him before turning back around when the teacher cleared her throat.

He chuckled after I turned around. I just shook my head and listen to what the teacher had to talk about.
Class was going great and it went by fast where when the bell rung, I jumped a little. I gathered my stuff and went off to lunch.
After lunchtime, the rest of the day went by smoothly as well. I saw Adrian a few more times after lunch. We had a class together after lunch and we were in gym together at the last hour. And something about that last hour, seemed off. He kept staring at me like the whole class. When I came out of the gym in my sports bra and joggers, there was just something about him. Kenny came over and wrapped his arm around me and when he did touch me, I would get ugly looks from Adrian and I swore I heard a growl.
One of the times I heard a growl it was loud and echoed in the gym right as Kenny kissed me on the lips right before I walked to the locker room to change back into my other clothes. When I came back out, Adrian wasn't there anymore but his one friend was and he was standing by the locker room door waiting for me.
