The Alpha Chose Me (Leah and Jake) novel Chapter 26

The Alpha Chose Me Chapter 26

I survived my first week, barely.

I was sat in English, my last class of the day before school was out for the weekend. Abby was sat in front of me and I was trying to find a reason to speak to her.

What the heck.

“Abby?”.

Turning around in her seat she smiled at me. “Hey Leah you okay?”. Already I could tell she was a sweet girl, she was beautiful too.

“This is so random”. I laughed. “But I promised him I would do it”. She frowned at me. “Do you know Ryan Smith?”. I asked.

“I-I know of him why?”. She seemed a little reserved, shy even. She was the first girl other than Alanna and Lacey at this school that didn’t look at me like I didn’t belong.

“Do you like him?”. I asked.

“I don’t know him”. She shrugged.

“Would you be willing to get to know him?”. I grinned.

“He’s a football player Leah and I’m well- look at me”. She frowned. “I don’t exactly scream popularity”.

“Who cares about that stuff. It’s senior year, our last year at school. You never know you might like him”. I winked. I hoped she’d give him a chance.

“I don’t know Leah-..”

“What have you got to lose?”.

“Okay”. She smiled.

Sneaking out my phone I looked Ryan’s number up and scribbled it down. “Here it’s his number”. Passing it to her I held my breath as my phone was plucked from my hand.

“Twice I’ve caught you with your phone out in class Miss Wilson”.

Dammit.

I wasn’t making a good impression on Mr Gallagher at all. Maybe he’ll be in a good mood seeing as it’s Friday.

“Sorry sir it won’t happen again”. Class was almost over, surely he wouldn’t confiscate it.

“Second warning Leah. If I see it again it’s mine”. He warned.

“Got it”. I whispered.

Handing it back to me I shoved it into my jacket pocket. At least he didn’t give me a detention.

“Is he always like that?”. I asked turning my attention back to Abby.

“Not always he’s usually laid back but when he’s like that it last for ages. Keep your phone away because once he has it your parent has to come in and collect it”.

What?

“You’re joking?”. We weren’t kids, yes I shouldn’t have my phone out in class but it’s not as if I was using it.

“Afraid not”. She smiled. “Did you finish your work, it’s to be handed in today”.

“Already emailed it to him. Didn’t want to give him another reason to hate me”. I sighed rolling my eyes. Mr Gallagher wasn’t an old teacher, you’d think he’d be a little less strict.
