Andria’s POV
I just wanted to be free from my family; I didn’t expect to be caught up in this ss.
"How are you doing, Mate?" The words fell out of Tristan’s mouth like a ridicule. Ok, what’s going on here, with the energy in this room? I think I’m going to pass out.
"This is the female’s restroom. What are y’all doing here?"
"Well, we ca to save a damsel in distress," Damon said, twisting his mouth to the side and sizing up.
"He is hot," Athena said, getting excited. I wonder what excited her about having four arrogant, nonchalant, distasteful Alphas as mates.
"We followed the bond and your scent, before we heard soone cry out in desperation," Damon said with an exaggerated expression of what he heard.
"I’m not a damsel in distress, and I sure don’t need your saving," I replied to him sharply, sizing him up equally. They should save their Prince Charming narrative for an actual damsel in distress.
The energy was getting too tense, and I could see Zade’s facial expression.
I could tell he was confused and sowhat agitated with the scene unfolding before him.
"She can’t be my mate and y’all’s too," as the words left his mouth, they all turned to look at him. The tension increased; this ti, it was directed towards Zade, not .
I’m already getting tired of this scene, and suddenly the bell for the next class saves the day.
I hurried out of the restroom. I wouldn’t want this kind of scene again, but fate had other plans for today.
Tracy and co seed to have been eavesdropping all the while, and when I stepped out of the restroom, she started taking pictures of .
I ignored them, I just wanted to get to class, but their chuckle sohow made uneasy. ’What are these Jealous trio chipmunks up to this ti? ’
If only they knew I have thick skin for bullies, having faced that all my life from my family.
The next class was in the laboratory. Oh well, chemicals - I might not be good with math, but I sure love mixing chemicals.
The chemistry teacher was a beautiful, slender lady, and she illustrated everything very well. Even a dullard could understand what was being taught.
I was so engrossed in her teaching that everything that had happened seed to fade away. I couldn’t even notice the Alpha successors, my ex, the mate bond or the jealous trio.
Miss Linda, our teacher, divided the class into teams of four after the lessons for our practicals. I had Tristan, Alexa and Damon on my team. Can this day get any worse?.
It was as if they never listened to Miss Linda at all. I wonder how Tristan or Damon managed to get their grades so high before. ’What am I even thinking about? After all, they are successors to the kingdom’s stronghold; everything can be tampered with.’
"You are not asuring the base properly; you didn’t even check for air bubbles," Alexa said, snatching the pipette from the stand.
"I did, but you just weren’t looking", I retorted. She amused with her eagerness to show the Alpha successors how smart she was. They didn’t even seem to notice. Their faces bore a bored expression.
"You have to be precise with this, otherwise the whole titration will be useless." She said, handling the burette with exaggerated care. I almost choked on my laughter.
I leaned over, glancing at her reading, and she was overshooting. "Alexa, you are overshooting".
"It’s close enough, I don’t think Miss Linda will care at all", she replied dismissively.
Surprisingly, Alexa was brilliant, because I didn’t expect her to understand a thing about chemistry, judging by how she follows that dumb Tracy around. But she just wasn’t doing this right, and she felt overconfident, or rather loud about it.
"They will. They are looking for concordant results. And this won’t do."
Alexa glared at , but she didn’t say anything. I worked swiftly, moving my hands with gentle ease. I’ve done this before, so this is not my first ti. I rember reading one of the chemistry books in my father’s lab and practicing.
That was one of the cruel ways Dad punished . If I failed any of the practicals, I’ll be punished severely. I recall being punished like a criminal, even though it ultimately turned out for the best.
The flask turned out to be the perfect pale pink. I noted the reading. It was perfect
"Humph, well, I guess you are good at this one thing." She crossed her hands as she bluffed.
I wouldn’t give her that chance to talk down on like that in front of my mate, especially not in front of the mates I don’t like, pftt.
"Or maybe you are just louder at showing off your incapabilities", I scoffed back at her. And I noticed she swallowed her next reply. That’s the smartest thing she’s ever done since we started our banter.
I overheard Miss Linda talking to Tracy and her team mber. I think she was telling them to read up and practice more, unless they would fail woefully this session, before she ca over to our table.
"Great teamwork, this is perfect." I looked at Alexa as Miss Linda acknowledged; her face looked as if it were sared with dirt.
She walked back to her low-budget cheerleading squad, and as usual, they started to gossip. Tracy was showing her sothing on her phone, and they started giggling.
I didn’t bother to use my vampire senses to decipher their gossip.
"Ok, we can call it a day, make sure to revise your work in preparation for the upcoming class test. Miss Linda announced, and everyone started moving towards the door even before she was done.
I was moving towards the door when the jealous trio blocked it.
Ok, what a beautiful way to end a day. "What do y’all want now? Do you want to whoop your asses again?. I glared at them and shoved them out of my way.
Shockingly, they let pass. But Tricia cut off midway. "Not this ti."
She lifted her phone and clicked a button, and suddenly everyone’s phone started buzzing all of a sudden.
And soon, the whole way was crowded, and everyone was staring at with a look of disgust as well as disdain. My phone shimred in my pocket, and I pulled it out just to see the disgusting tags on my picture on social dia.
"A whore who tried to seduce the alpha successors?". I can’t believe that Tricia and co can be so petty and silly.
