Trapped with the Alpha

The next morning, the duo of Audrey and Austin set out for their various dormitories; they had their breakfast at the hotel before going back. Immediately he left for his dorm, he got a call from a coursemate that they had a Class that morning, he immediately stood up from his bed, he was not used to school and did not take note of his timetable hence he hurriedly dressed up and went for his class, on his way to the class he ran into Mirabel who was also rushing to meet her staff adviser.

“Hey Mirabel” he said and hugged her.

“Heyyy, Audrey, how are you, hope you are fine?” she replied

” I’m good, I was going for a class before I saw you” he said

“Ooh nice, when did you guys get back from the trip” she said as she was surprised to see him.

“Did Stephanie not tell you we were back?” he asked.

She shook her head, she was surprised that Stephanie would not tell her that she came back from her trip already, she instantly felt offended and knew that she had to talk to her immediately.

” Well, she was probably tired that is why she did not let you know about it” Audrey defended her.

“Ooh alright, that doesn’t mean she won’t tell me about her return” she sighed and walked away, she needed to see her staff adviser as soon as possible.

They both parted ways and went to their various destinations. She decided that she was going to call Stephanie after she finished what she was doing.

“Stephanie Eeeeeee” she heard her name from across the hall, she recognized the voice that was calling her but she could not just pinpoint who it was, she turned around to see who it was but in the midst of over hundreds of students she could not locate the person calling her, when the person kept shouting her name but this time it was becoming louder and clearer so she turned back as saw that it was Austin who was approaching her.

” Heyyyyyy, Steph, what’s up” he went to hug her and gave her a peck on the cheek.

“Austin” she said excitedly.

” How are you, how was your trip?” He asked

” Well I enjoyed every bit of it, I got to meet his family and friends and your fellow pack” she said and giggled

“Austin, can you believe that they nearly killed” she exaggerated

“Trust me, if they had wanted to kill you, you would not be standing here” he said and chuckled.

In as much as he enjoyed keeping her company and making her laugh, he also enjoyed it when he teased her to the extent that she would almost pee on her pants. He noticed as her mood changed when he said that, she moved from the bubbly Stephanie she knew to a scaredy cat. He could not help but laugh at her facial expressions

“Relax, they can not kill you, Audrey told me all about it” he said

“Wow, you have seen him so fast” she said .

“What are you doing here?” she asked, all she knew was that Austin was a Sophomore student. She wondered what he was doing in a gathering that belonged entirely to freshmen.

“Well you know, I just decided to come and check how our fellow freshmen are doing, but they seem fine,” he said in a sarcastic tone.

” Woooow, I saw the sarcasm there” Stephanie said and gave a fake smile .Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After they were done exchanging pleasantries and chit chatting, Austin hurried along as he had a class to prepare for so he needed to go to his hostel to freshen up.

Stephanie still had a long day ahead of her, she knew how many classes she had missed so she had no time for fun or to play around. She immediately marched to her part adviser’s office as she heard that she missed an impromptu test.

As she got there the man was in an important HOD’s meeting so she was delayed for a bit before she could see him, after a while she was called into his office to see him and state her grievances to him. The man she saw in the office was a very young and bright man, she could not imagine she could have a lecturer as young and handsome as the one who sat in front of her. He was reading a UC Berkeley Journal, she did not want to interrupt his reading as he looked like he was busy but by the time she turned her back he had already looked up at her.

“Yes, how may I help you?” he asked.

“Good morning sir, my name is Stephanie,” she said as she entered his office.

“Hmmm Stephanie that name sounds familiar” he said

“Yes yes my classmates just have mentioned it to you I was the one who missed an Impromptu test you set within the week” she said in an humble manner.

” So it’s you, alright they told me but why did you not take a permit before you traveled?” he asked.

“It was an emergency sir, I’m really sorry I promise it won’t happen again” she apologized.

“Alright, alright, I already scheduled your test to be set later this week so you should come see me maybe on Thursday so you can have your test, read up on syntax” he said

” Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate this” she said excitedly.

She left his office feeling happy and excited she did not expect it to go as planned, she had thought that the man would shout at her or get angry at her for skipping her test, she knew she was only pardoned because she was just a freshman and things like this are pardonable when they do it

After she left the lecturer’s office she saw her timetable and saw that she had a literature review class, she was always looking forward to this class because this was the class that she had and gave her opportunity to review most of her best literary works and it also enabled her to listen to the opinion of others on the particular book they chose to review but then she remembered she had not done something, she had not still told Mirabel she was back and Mirabel does the same class too so there was no doubt that she was going to meet her or bump into her at the class. She had already rehearsed the speech she was going to give Mirabel for not telling her about her return. She knew how her best friend can be, she was always full of surprises and could get really petty when she is not carried along in most things.

She got to the venue of the class and found that everywhere was empty save for a few persons who were cleaning the auditorium, she had come early for her class again, she was always in the habit of coming early for classes even back then at Boston University, she never condoned late coming to class and often chastised any of her friends who came late to the class.

” Heyyy, Steph” Mirabel said, approaching her she had also come early for the class

” Mirabel, how are you?” She said nervously and stuttered her words .

” I’m good” Mirabel said , “see I’m sorry for not telling you that I was back since yesterday immediately I got to my room I was really exhausted I saw my room in a really bad and terrible shape so I decided to clean it up, by the time I was done I was really tired and exhausted I just ate and slept off” She explained, hoping Mirabel would not get mad at her.
