Part 3- Patterns and Confessions

It had been a moth at the school and everyday is the same. Wake up, take scent blockers, walk with Elliot, go to lunch, go back home, avoid the group, eat dinner, go to bed, repeat. Everything is the same, every lesson feels the same. I wished to be home, I wished I was with my friends. I wished for anything but this.

I walked into the common room and met up with Elliot, like every day. I don't even want to be around this guy... I don't hate him, do I? No, I dont hate him. I just don't like what he is.

We walked out the door and were walking to the building when Elliot suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Hey, Cina, do you wanna sit with me during lunch? " he asked, which confused me. I never even considered it because for all I knew he had a group of friends in that ocean of smells that were all alphas, "I just wanna talk to you more one on one, I know a place where no one else will be. "

I sighed and finally said, "Alright, sure. Now come on! We're gonna be late! "

We ran the rest of the way to the building and just barely made it to class. Maybe I can finally get out of this loop!

The entire day I was anticipating lunch. Excited, nervous, confused. I didn't know what he wanted, he sounded very serious when he suggested it. Finally, it was noon.

We grabbed our trays and instead of venturing into the sea like I had expected, we went out of an exit door and around one of the pillars next to the building.

"I didn't know we could sit out here, damn I would've been here everyday... " I said as I picked up the slice of pizza that came on my tray, "So, what's this about? Are you just lonely or something? " He shifted uncomfortably.

"No, no... I uhm... " Elliot scratched the back of his head, "I think you're pretty. "

I choked on my pizza. An alpha called me pretty?! I mean I already knew I was but holy shit.

"I'm so sorry! " he exclaimed as he patted me on the back, trying to keep me from keeling over, "I didn't know how else to say it, I feel so bad now. Forget I said anything. "

He started to stand up but I grabbed him by the arm and said, "Hey woah, sit down. What the- is that why you've been hanging out with me? " he quietly nods and I burst out laughing, "Oh my god Elliot! Some alpha you are, falling for an o..." I paused and nervously laughed, "oH my god, a beta!"

Nailed it, good save, Cina.

It was not a good save.

Elliot blinked at me, surprised. I could see the clogs turning in his head, taking in the information I accidentally gave him. I felt sick at my stomach, he wasn't the last person who I would've wanted to find out but he definitely wasn't in the top 10.

"Are you an omega? " the question rang through my head like Newton's cradle. I felt the blood drain from my head and I laughed nervously.

"Fuck- " my head dropped to my hands, "please don't tell anyone, no one can ever know. "

"Why? You don't have to hide, there are just as many omegas at this school as there are alphas, " he rubs my back and I sigh very loudly.

"Life is easier as a beta, you're an alpha so you'll never understand what omegas go through, " I removed my face from my hands and grabbed the fruit cup from my lunch, "My father is an alpha, if anyone ever found out his son was an omega he'd lose his mind. My sister...heh SHE'S the one who got alpha genes. She's always been 'better' and everyone has always loved her, THAT'S why I can't stand alphas. You all think youre better. "

I angrily ate my fruit cup as Elliot sighed and quietly told me, "I don't think I'm better than anyone, I try my best to hide my scent with my perfume because I dont want to be seen as an aggressor... "

"Well I block my scent because I don't eant to be held by certain standards, " I finally admitted. I leaned against Elliot's shoulder and sighed, "I'm infertile, I don't want to be controlled by an alpha, I don't want to be like this, I'm only an omega because of my anatomy and scent. It shouldn't definite me. "

Elliot giggles, "I suppose we're in the same boat, neither of us want to fit the standards. I mean you're talking to an alpha who has like 5 skirts in his closet and wears women's perfume. "

"You drive me insane with that perfume, " I admitted, making Elliot laugh again and put his arm around my shoulders, "I can smell your scent under it, it's very strange. "

"You have a good nose, I've never met someone who could still smell my scent, " Elliot says and grabs the fruit cup from his own tray, "I've met people who assumed I was an omega until they saw me, just based on scent alone... Hey do you wanna do this again tomorrow? "

"Yeah, I do, " I smiled. Out of the pattern of everyday.
