Becoming alpha

Chapter 1

The sound of the party downstairs was driving me crazy. I grabbed my pillow and plopped it over my head to keep some of the noise out it was seeping into my quiet space. It was ten o'clock at night on a Friday and the party was just getting started. My parents said that having people over tonight was unavoidable. We were leaving for cedar ridge, Texas - a town to small to register on most maps - in a few days , and people wanted to say there good-byes. Any other seventeen year old would probably be excited about sneaking a drink or having an excuse to go buy new clothes, but not me. I'm not much of a party person.
With my stuff already packed and the Tv unhooked, I was beyond bored. Still there was no way I was going downstairs. I hid myself in my room when people started to arrive. Since then, I've found the end of entertainment.
I knew it was a bad idea to pack everything so early. Twenty- three small boxes were stacked on the other side of the room. Most of the boxes were filled with books. The only thing I left unpacked would fit into a small duffle bag and my back pack.
I grabbed a bouncy ball that was left sitting out it was better than nothing, and much better than going downstairs to that crowd. I threw the ball to the beat of the music for what felt like two hours. I was really looking forward to a new start. The sooner i went to sleep the faster it'd get to Texas.

A knock came from my door.

"Bathroom's downstairs" I yelled

I held my breath as I listened to see whoever knocked hopefully heard me.
The Knob turned. Shit. I should of locked it.

I jumped of my bed. "Hey--"

Whatcha doin', Jessie?" My older brother, Alec, swung open the door I sat back down on my bed. He new exactly what I was doing.

"What do u want Alec?"

He leaned against the door. He was only a foot and a half taller than me and we had the same wavy brown hair and brown eyes thanks to our Latino mom.

"Dad wants you to come downstairs just for a minute people are asking about you."

I made a face. "I'd rather not. Cover for me?

"What if I said a certain celeb was downstairs?" He waggled his eyebrows. "The one you were drooling over last week?"

I threw the ball at him and he caught it, laughing. The jerk. Dads PR work and law degree made him hot in the Hollywood community with a lot of high profile clients.

I chewed on my lip, unable to deny the draw of my latest actor crush-James Mac-Avoy. Nothing hotter than a guy with dimples and a sexy Scottish accent.

" is he really downstairs?"

Alec nodded.

I thought for a second and then sighed

"Still can't do it. I don't want to embarrass myself. What if I have a zit? Or spill something on myself or even worse say something totally weird and stupid that he ignores me? The dream will shatter. And that big brother,is not worth it.

He rolled his eyes and stepped into my room.

"Hey!" I jumped off my bed. "Don't come in here this is a boy free zone."Dork.

"He stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me and sighed.

"At least come down stairs" he pleaded

"Why should I ?"

"We could go through dads stuff and see what the deal is with dads new job."

"What do you mean?"

"He's leaving a celeb filled job to work at some stupid job in Texas doesn't that strike you at all odd?"

"I shrugged. "I guess I've never really thought about it."I'm just happy not to come back to school here."

"Aren't u even a little bit curious? Even a little?"

I thought about it" I mean I kinda am"

"Come on." He gave me that look, that cocky, half grin that told me we were about to get into a lot of trouble.

" we'll go downstairs, sneak a glass of Champagne, you can get an eye-full of sir hunkalot, and then we can get the real story on the move. We'll be sneaky, and no one will see us." He paused. " I didn't want to say this but I double-dog dare you."

I couldn't stop the grin. "What are you twelve?"

"What are you forty?" He poked me

"Let's go. And with those words we headed downstairs.
