Our New Kind of Real

Noel&Toby

IF YOU ARE ANYONE I KNOW IM SORRY SKIP THIS CHAPTER

Yep, definitely going to regret this. BTW this is the universe where you present when you are like 14 as one of the dynamics. The first day of high school (idk it just fitted). You'll see. Bold is what I personally am saying.

For my friend.

P-G 13? It's an Omegaverse

Not a lot is expected of children, especially if they are still young.

But then there's Toby. The boy was a lot of things. Perky, annoying, energetic, small. He's also an omega. He was expected to be a beta from the day he was born. His father is an alpha and his mother is a beta. The chances of him being an omega were slim, and his parents didn't even realize they carried the omega gene. But that isn't the point, the point is how his whole life was shaped by the day he found out.

Let's take a look, shall we?

Toby's POV. September, 9th grade.

I smirked at the random group of people I passed in the mall. They all were stressing out about what they were going to preset as. I knew I was going to be beta, as it is the most dominant gene and all that shit.

I turned the corner, and finally reached the food court. Noel, Liam, and Brady were waiting for me.

"Yo Toby! Hurry up, our reservations for Red Robin are in two minutes!" I heard Brady yell once he saw me.

"I know, I know!" I yelled back.

Once we were all together, we went into the restaurant and sat down. We ordered and got out drinks. While we were waiting for the food to come out, we chatted about many things. The conversations were all pretty pointless, like who got the the most goals in soccer the other day, the possible ninety degree weather tomorrow, who had watched the most recent marvel movie.

"Guys, are you wondering what will happen tomorrow?" Liam said quietly.

"Pbfft. What's there to worry about?" I retorted.

"I don't know. Maybe the possibility we will drift apart after it?" Liam said.

We all knew what he was implying. Alphas and omegas don't stay friends usually.

"Don't worry Liam, we won't" Brady commented, trying to soothe Liam's worries. (DANDY wait no BRIAM)

"C'mon Brady, That's bullshit. You know friendships between a group of friends that present as totally different dynamics don't last" Noel sent a glare over to the skinny male.

I stared up at the boy. He seemed on edge. Was he okay? I opened my mouth to say something, but was silenced by the beta female that brought out our food. There was a tangible tension as we ate our food, not saying a word. I had no idea what was going on, as for the rest of the time we were all together we barely spoke. Even I, in all my jittery talkitiveness, couldn't get them to talk.

Finally, my mom picked us up and drove us all home from dinner. Once I got home, I really needed clarity as to what happened tonight. I decided to call Noel, and talk to him about tonight. Before I could even pick up my phone, I got a call notification. Noel.

"Hi Noel" I answer.

"Hey Toby, I wanted to say sorry for tonight" he said.
I was taken aback by this, why'd he apologize? I shook the thought off.

I responded with, "oh, it's all cool. What was up with us though?"

There was silence, and I was just about to see if he was still there.

"Do you think Liam may be right? What if we do present different and we split up?" Noel whispers.

What? I never see Noel like this, no one does. I've only seen him remotely showing weakness like this once.

"We'll just have to hope for the best, I suppose?" I tell him

We talked for about 30 more minutes, before my mom reprimanded me for being up so late.

THE NEXT DAY

My nerves were going haywire even though I could not explain why. Maybe it was the pressure that this would dictate the rest of my breathing days. Maybe it was because my whole family was waiting for this day and they wanted to know everything.

After I finally arrived at the school, I was seated in my seat. We were by alphabetical order so I was next to Evelyn and Annabetha. I looked around to where my friends were. Brady was making... interesting... faces and blabbing random stuff to Violet, who looked about ready to kill herself. I soon turned my attention to the 'C' section (lol that's a medical term and I didn't try to do that) and Sam and Liam looked normal, but they were screaming over like four people to talk to each other. I finally drew my attention to Noel, and all of his flawless hair. I mentally slapped myself for thinking that. He was next to Rene and Serephina. I glared when I noticed Serephina babbling to him and flirting to no extent. I continued to glare until Evelyn drew my attention away from him by starting to talk to me.

"Are you okay?" she inquired as she looked over to where I was looking moments before.

"Fine" I responded.

Finally, someone got up on stage and got us to quiet down so they could start the ceremony. Adam was first, then Anika, then Violet, then Brady ( who's beta btw), and so on and so forth. Noel presented as an alpha, which I for some reason was impressed by. My mind wanted to strong, sexy, dominating Noel until I heard my name being called. (Yes he was thinking about that for that long) As I got up from my seat, I almost was repulsed by my thoughts, but I ignored the fact that deep down, that that was the true way I felt. I passed Noel's seat, and he gave me an encouraging thumbs up and a warm smile.

(Note- I made up a random way of presenting, where you place your hand in this effed up water and it glows a different color depending on your dynamic)

I walked up to the woman next to the bowl, and took a deep breath. I looked up at everyone watching me. Then I plunged my hand into the new bowl of water that was placed out for me, and looked down. I doubted it would've been red for alpha, but it wasn't blue for beta. It was purple, for omega. My eyes went wide and my emotions went everywhere. I yanked my hand back as the woman bellowed "omega".

Great. Fucking perfect. I wasn't supposed to be an omega, and now the whole goddamn school knows. I raise my eyes to look as Noel's, and if I saw correctly, I saw fear, surprise, confusions, and possible sympathy, betrayal, and protectiveness? I think I'm about to throw up. Without processing a single thought, I sprinted out the back exit (yeah I did that) of the auditorium. I ran and ran through the hallways until I reached a dead end and my feet and lungs hurt. I saw a janitor's closet and locked myself in. I collapsed in the corner (unable to move) and held my spinning head. This can not be happening.

I'm Toby Connaway, and I apparently am an omega too. I'm not supposed to be. All my life I've kept this tough male exterior, and now I get the dynamic that many think of as just breeding toys and do not have the same rights as the others. I'm not ready. All my life. All my life I planned to graduate, get a high status job, and maybe even get a wife. Many omegas barely have the chance to graduate because of who they are.

My friends, what will they think of me now? Will I still hang out with them? Noel. Noel. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want him, but maybe it's just my newly discovered biology. I hope I can at least be friends with him still.

A tear runs down my cheek. I'm angry, at life, at everything and everyone. I'm angry I'm letting myself cry and be moody.

But I let the water works go
