It Started on Lazy Day

Part 2

"All of my friends turned out to be alphas when we all took our tests in middle school. I'm the only beta. Tails is still too young to tell, but he doesn't mind spending time with everyone," I answered.

"Hm? You're one of those alpha-only betas," he clicked his tongue at me.

"I'm not. I have no interest in romance at all. I've been friends with them all since middle school, I didn't know what they would be," I was starting to get a little annoyed with his assumptions of me.

"I guess that's reasonable. My classroom is C-1. Can you show me where it is?" Shadow closed the paper he was reading off of.

"Oh," I hadn't expected that to be his classroom.

"What is it? Don't tell me you don't know where it is," he was being rude.

"If you're rude about it I might not show you," I started walking off, "You're in class with me."

"Tsk, how clique," Shadow followed me in silence after that. He introduced himself to the class and took a seat in the back by the door.

He's so rude.

"Sonic, he's an alpha, right?" Amy whispered. She had the seat on my left beside the window.

"Yeah, but he's rude. He could say please once in a while," I felt mad for the rest of the morning. Why is this bugging me so much? Stupid omega hormones. Why do they have to mess with me...

"Sonic? Hey," I flinched as Amy touched me, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Damn it, I'm getting emotional. I need to leave, just for a little while-

I took my heaviest textbook and held it over my desk before dropping it. The teacher immediately stopped her lesson.

"Sonic, we aren't using textbooks right now," she looked annoyed, exactly what I wanted.

"I know. I was just bored," I put it away.

"Hallway. 10 minutes," she glared.

Finally... I took a few deep breaths out in the hallway. Pretending to be a beta is hard. Omegas are known for having random emotional outbursts, this is normal. No reason to freak out. I just need to calm down.

"Much better," I used a light stretch to relax a bit.

"Hey," I flinched as I heard his voice. Shadow was standing in the hall beside me.

"Hi?" I watched the teacher angrily shut the door and continue teaching, "What did you do?"

"She said my pheromones were too strong, I was upsetting the omegas," he had gloomy look on him, but for a second I saw part of a smile.

"Are they?" I couldn't smell any difference from a moment ago. Maybe it's because I had to learn how to ignore the smell.

"Also, for a few moments, I smelt a different pheromone in that room of alphas and betas," he could smell me?!

How? I'm not releasing them yet- Could I be going into heat? No, my body feels fine. No fever, no body ache, or dizziness. No sweat, sore chest, or urges. No cramps. I can't be in heat, I don't have any symptoms.

"You turned pale," Shadow snapped me out of my frantic thoughts, "are you worried about that smell?"

"Of course not. It could have been an omega walking by," I had to pull my act together. I couldn't get nervous over one suspicious guy.

"That's true, but they should be on their suppressants- unless they didn't know," he came closer to me.

"What is it?" I stepped back, why could I suddenly smell his scent?

"You took your test before coming here didn't you?" He asked.

"Of course I did! I'm not an idiot. It turned up as beta, like it always does," I needed to stop reacting and contact a doctor as soon as possible as someone anonymous. If I'm starting to produce pheromones they'll all find out. I need to hide them.

"Those tests come up as wrong all the time. You should take it again, soon. If you go into heat with this class, you won't be able to last," he went back into the classroom and I sat down on the cold floor.

"I want to go home..." I needed to ask someone if they could really smell me.

I guess I could ask Knuckles to come over.

I knew this would happen at some point.
