Joseph

I really didn't wanna go to school today. I can't stop thinking about the dream that I had last night. Was that really my mate? I couldn't face her. And it's a her!! That means she has... oh god. My cheeks heat up with blush as the thought pops into my mind. Jesus I need to stop thinking about that kinda stuff, I don't know who it even is!

I'm ready to go before my parents are even awake. I couldn't sleep after the dream. I spent the whole night lost in my thoughts and figuring out what to wear. If I found my mate today, I had to look good right? After tossing nearly my entire dresser, I just settles for something I'd normally wear: ripped jeans and a nice t-shirt.

Finally, after what seems like hours, my father is up and ready to go. "You're already ready?" He asks with a concerned look.

"Yeah. Can we go?" I ask, already opening the door, getting ready to step out.

"Ah, take your suppressants." He catches the door, nudging me back. I groan and turn to him.

"But what about my mate? I don't have to worry about that now, right?" I say with a huff, crossing my arms and pouting.

"Yes you do. Unless you want her to take you right there in the middle of school." He says with a serious look, some how keeping a straight face.

"Dad!" I groan and cover my cheeks, which were heating up again. I stomp over to the medicine cabinet and take out two pills, swallowing them quickly.

"There, I did it, now lets GO." I say annoyed, my father displaying a goofy grin on his face. "Alright alright." He says, stepping out of the house.

We get into the car, but my father doesn't start up the car. I look at him, confused, before he turns and looks at me.

"Son... since you had the dream, this might be a good time to have this talk..." he begins. Oh god, is he really about to give 'the talk'? I already know about all this!

"It is true that your mate can suppress your heats, whether that be sexually or with a mark., but you still need to be careful. Your heat can send people into ruts if it goes on for too long, and you know how that turns out." He explains, while I roll my eyes. "This can happen even with your mate. Son, I just want you to be careful okay?"

I groan softly and nod quickly. "Dad I know, you and mom have told me this a billion times." I say with a huff. 

"Alright, I know. We just want the best for you, you know how dangerous being an unmated Omega can be." He says and starts the car, backing out of the driveway.

"Thanks Dad..." I say simply, then put in my headphones.

We arrive at the school, and I reluctantly get out of the car, waving goodbye. My shyness had returned, knowing that I could find my mate for the first time today. I both hope and hope I don't find her. I'm nervous, okay?! I take a deep breath and walk into the main building, heading right for the library, keeping my eyes low. Immediately as I walk in, I catch the scent of my supposed mate. I could instantly tell it was her, how I don't know. I shudder softly, the scent slowly working its way through my mind. I can feel my body start to heat up, but it quickly dies down. Damn suppressants... I'm left a quivering mess from her scent alone... jeez...

I huff softly and go to my spot, the scent even stronger there. Oh god, she followed my scent?! What a creep! I quickly move to an area where some chairs are to get my head clear. Ugh, I knew I shouldn't have come today! I won't be able to focus on anything!

I leave for my class rather early, knowing full well that she would be around to try and find me. I say goodbye to the librarian, then leave quickly. I keep my eyes to the ground again as I walk towards the science building, but at the same time I glance over people to see if one of them was possibly my mate. God damn it why am I so shy?!! I groan to myself, then enter my class.

I explain to the professor that I just wanted to be early to make sure I was on track for the course, or something like that. In reality I just didn't want to face my mate yet, and don't ask me why. Because I don't know. My thoughts cloud my mind again as I sit in silence until others start to file into the classroom. I shake my head clear and try to lay attention to the professor, but quickly end up falling asleep due to lack of it last night.
-----------

The person next to me shakes me awake, letting me know the class was over. I mumble a 'thanks' to him as he stands, and I do the same. I slowly trudge my way out of the science building, scanning the small crowd of people moving about. I rub my eyes gently, then make my way to where my father is to pick me up. Along the way I bump into a tall figure, to which I apologise.

"O-Oh I'm sorr-" I'm cut short as the scent hits my nose. I guess I was too tired to notice it at first, but the person it was coming from... was my mate. Who I just walked into. Jesus, could I be any more awkward and stupid?!
