A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 89: Kissing Boy.

Angela didn’t say a word to her partner until they reached the Academy block. They checked if Mr. Slade was still in his office, and when they confirmed that he was, they turned around and walked back to the classroom area to wait. Since that was the path he would use to return to the hostel, it made more sense to wait there. That way, it wouldn’t raise any suspicion.

The silence between her and Hiro was heavy and suffocating. She could feel that he had a lot on his mind, but for some reason, he was holding it all in. And she didn’t understand why.

She watched him pace back and forth like someone carrying a load of unsolved problems. Every now and then, he would glance at her like he wanted to speak but stopped himself. It was getting on her nerves, and before she could stop herself, the words flew out of her mouth.

"Come on, Alpha Hiro. Just spit it out. Tell me what’s on your mind and stop acting like the father of twelve children."

Hiro stopped pacing. He looked like he wanted to respond, but then shook his head and kept pacing again. Then, without warning, he stopped and turned to her.

"Why did they pair us together?"

"Exactly my problem," Angela replied, almost immediately. That same question had been burning in her head for days, yet no one gave her a straight answer. Maybe Kaito would, eventually. "You could have switched partners with someone else."

"Look how ungrateful you just sounded," Hiro said, walking up to her. He stared directly into her eyes, and his voice dropped a little. "Why the fuck do you have such enemies in this Academy? What the hell are you hiding?"

Angela looked away. She didn’t want him staring at her too hard. She feared he might see what she didn’t want anyone to know.

"Everything about you screams trouble," Hiro went on. "You don’t even have to go looking for it—it finds you anyway. And this is what you get in return... more goddamn trouble."

Angela didn’t want to keep going down that path, so she changed the topic.

"How did you get shot?" she asked, not even sure where the question came from, but it was better than where the conversation was heading.

"Can’t remember," Hiro said with a shrug, looking up at the sky.

The moment shifted.

There was a strange stillness in the air. Then the power went out around the dormitory area. No light, no hum from the wires...just silence.

Hiro didn’t need anyone to explain what that meant.
