A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 8: A Fight II.

Angela made her way down the stairs, her heart racing with nerves and anticipation. She followed the crowd headed to the cafeteria, hoping she’d find Stales easily.

And she did.

He stood by the entrance, waving excitedly the moment he spotted her.

"Hey!" he greeted, his smile bright.

"Hello," Angela said softly, a shy blush creeping up her cheeks. It felt silly, but this was the first time someone had looked genuinely happy to see her. Back home, people avoided her because of her mother. Here, at Alpha Academy, she wasn’t just someone’s outcast daughter. She was Angel. A boy with a fresh start.

And she already had a friend.

"I have to be honest...I wish I were you right now," Stales said suddenly, slapping her arm playfully.

"Ouch!" Angela winced, pulling back. Her entire body flinched from the unexpected sting.

Stales blinked. "Wait, did that hurt? I barely touched you."

"It did. Don’t do that again, please," she muttered, rubbing her arm. She wasn’t used to this kind of roughness. Not physically, not emotionally. Not from boys.

"My bad," Stales said quickly, genuinely surprised. "So, you want to know why you’re lucky?"

Angela folded her arms. "Enlighten me."

"You got into Gold House," Stales said with mock envy, then added dramatically, "and your roommate is Alpha Kaito. Do you know how cool that is?"

Angela fought the urge to groan. If only he knew.

There was nothing cool about it. Kaito was a walking storm cloud...grumpy, arrogant, and completely full of himself. Living with him felt like trying to breathe in a room with no air.

"Being Kaito’s roommate might seem scary but, I’d trade places with you in a heartbeat," Stales continued, clearly fantasizing about it.

"Let’s do it then," Angela said, rolling her eyes. "You go to Gold House, be Kaito’s new roommate, and I’ll happily move to the Red House."

Stales laughed, shaking his head. "It doesn’t work like that. Kaito gets special privileges. The school allowed him pick his roommate."
