I Rejected the Alpha

Chapter 2: Locker Drama

Zoe POV

I hopped into the worn down pickup truck and drove to school. Ah, joy. Another day of horrible misery. Driving down the road, I rolled down the windows and sang along to my favorite songs, which included Titanium, Skyscraper and Demons. I love how those songs describe my life. I have lived in this pack long enough that I have realized that I will never fit in. They would never accept me; I would forever be the Omega outcast of the Sliver Star Pack.

I arrived at Starlight High. The school for Humans, Werewolves, Vampires, Fairies, you name it, they go here. I walked to my locker to find it covered in signs that read "Happy Birthday... NOT!" Other notes included "Get a life... No one care about your birthday!" "You'll never fit in, why don't you just disappear?"

My Best Friend as of two years, Anni (May I mention she is a fairy) came flying up behind me and attacked me with balloons and flowers.

"Happy Eighteenth Birthday to my #1 BFF in the whole entire WORLD!" She screamed in my ear.

"Thanks so much Anni!" I screamed back at her. I just love that girl. Her smiles are seriously contagious.

She always tries so hard to make my life better, since I am the outcast of my pack. I gave her a quick hug and hurried off to my first period.

I honestly don't know what I would do without Anni. She has been practically my lifesaver because I have never felt so alone. It's hard to live in a pack where they prey on the "weak" and thrive off making people depressed and miserable. It's been a few years since the last suicide of a pack member. His note said that he was finally free. He left me a note that said to hold on strong and maybe someday, things would change.

I wonder why he left me that note. I never knew him personally; I would just wave to him whenever I saw him just to be friendly. I guess though it was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him, you know us being the omegas of the pack.

I hurried down the hall and ignored the nagging and yelling as Werewolves called me unspeakable names and silently thanked the numerous fairies that shrank and flew towards the ground and tied the werewolves' shoelaces together.

Being BFFS with a fairy had its benefits. I also thanked the couple of Vamps who yelled at the werewolves to shut up and barred their fangs at them. I had made an alliance with the Vampires when I helped them prank Jennifer and the werewolf female population at a sleepover last year.

Since werewolves and vampires have this rivalry thing going on, Jennifer tripped me then sneered, "Traitor!" in my ear.

"Like I care about anything you say anymore!" I told her

"They are better than this whole mess you and Jace call a pack combined!"

Jennifer spun on her 6 inch heels then walked towards her first class. Trying to avoid any more drama, I figured I should just avoid people.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Flash Back>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Jake was moving back to his parent's pack this morning, right before school started. When he told me about it, I broke down and cried.

"Now that you are leaving they will kill me now for sure!" I wept.

Jennifer was always pointing out problems with keeping Omegas in our pack. She always claimed that we were weak and deadweight that the pack had to haul around and pay for. At that, I glanced down to view her 4-inch heels that must have cost 10 times the same amount as I get to live on in a year. She has no room to talk. Last year she almost single handedly drove this pack bankrupt.

"You know you can always come with me." Jake had said

"You, the beta soon Alpha of the pack would want me, the Omega to come with you?"

"Of course I would, you're my best friend!" he replied

"Really?" I asked

"As sure as the sun rises in the east." He whispered

He paused to look at me, "I have a feeling that we will see each other soon."

"I hope so." I replied, "I don't know what I would do without sometimes." I said

"You know you're not the only one who benefits from our friendship. I have always been the odd one out. Not that you would notice anyway, being the only one who would ever speak out for the omegas, others me a little different in meetings. Like I have a backbone or something. In this pack, I just feel like they unfairly choose unfortunate people to become the omegas just so they have someone to blame when things get tough. And though I know" he said turning to me, "Though sometimes you may not believe me, the omegas are often the strong ones, even stronger than the Alphas and that's what makes them so spiteful. They are jealous of you. They use you insecurity to boost themselves up and they hide behind their authority while they abuse it." He took my hands, looked into my eyes, and continued, "You are strong Zoe and you are a very special person, and I believe that you and I will be seeing each other very soon."

I took off the necklace I was wearing and placed it in his hands. It was a necklace that had a Z covered with diamonds. My last link to my mother before she passed.

"Here." I said "Keep it, so when we do meet each other again, it may be for a long time, I want you to give it back to me when you see me again so I know it's you."

Jake looked into my eyes again, "I promise that we will always be the best of friends."

My little fifteen year old heart was breaking and I knew deep in my heart that I would see him again. It was all a matter to keep believing that.

Suddenly we heard a horn honking outside.
"That must be my parents." He said.
"So this is goodbye?" I asked with tears in my eyes
"Not a goodbye more like a see you late type of thing." Jake winked at me

I reached up and touch his Yankee's cap one last time, and hugged him very tightly. He hugged me back and whispered in my ear, "Until meet again."

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<End of Flashback>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It was hard seeing him walk away that day and I guess even with Anni, I feel as if one day she might walk away too. I hope that this will be different. Now that it's almost the end of the school year in 3 months and tomorrow will be the fifth year anniversary to the day that Jake left.

Being without someone to watch out for me has been a lonely two years. Even though I haven't seen him in almost two years and the memory of his face is getting fuzzy, I have survived and I still have faith that one-day maybe fate will pity the poor omega and by chance let me see him again. When that day comes, I will not make the same mistake I made before; I will go with him.

I continued down the hallway and made a left to enter into my classroom. I just hope my day won't get any more drama filled!
