A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 145: The Party.

The cool breeze kissed her skin as she stood in the darkness. Angela had already made up her mind to leave since no one was around. Whoever invited her here was clearly playing games. They wanted to scare her and it worked. She was terrified, but she would never let it show.

Just when she was about to walk away, lights came on all of a sudden. Someone must have switched on the bulbs outside. Angela lifted her head, and to her surprise, she saw a big decoration that read Happy Birthday, Angela.

Her confusion only deepened until she saw Alex and Stales stepping out, holding a cake. The other housemates followed with candles and gifts in their hands. It seemed the entire house had gathered to celebrate her.

Angela froze where she stood, shock running through every part of her body. She had never celebrated a birthday in her life. It was all so strange, and the fact that she came out here expecting an enemy instead of her friends made her eyes sting.

Hot tears threatened to fall as she heard them singing the birthday song for her. She couldn’t hold them back any longer. The tears rolled freely down her cheeks, leaving her overwhelmed and lost for words.

They surely knew how to make her speechless.

"Happy birthday, Angel," they chorused together, clapping their hands. Angela could only stare at them. They understood she was too moved to respond.

"Happy eighteenth birthday, buddy," Stales said, handing her a box. He hugged her briefly and stepped aside.

"Happy birthday, big girl," Alex whispered as he placed the cake in her hands. It was chocolate—her favorite. She had always wished for one on her birthday, but Grace always refused.

Grace used to say that birthdays were nothing more than counting down to the grave, and only a fool would celebrate such a thing. For a long time Angela believed her. She did not want to die young like her father.

But when she turned fifteen, she began to understand that her mother’s words were not entirely true. A birthday was not about death. It was about life. It was proof that you had survived another year, proof that you had grown, that you were still standing with loved ones beside you. It was another chance to chase your dreams.

Grace knew all of this, but she kept it to herself, and in the end, it only left Angela feeling robbed of something precious.
