Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 124

Astrid POV

The only chair that was empty was in the row in front of Kael and the brunette, who I gathered was Tracy. Aiden was sitting on the next chair. I went to sit with him. But I heard a low growl from behind, making my hair stand at the back of my neck and Aiden slid his chair away from me slightly, which was awkward.

I lowered my head to smell my armpit. It was clean. I still smelled like the citrus lotion I had put on earlier in the day.

“Miss Astrid, please introduce yourself,” my teacher’s attention broke my thoughts.

Taken by surprise, I opened my mouth, “Umm…” God, why was my brain short-circuiting?

The teacher raised his eyebrow, looking at me quizzically. I tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear and got up. I had to introduce myself to pass this awkwardness. “Hi! I’m Astrid Collins. I’m a new student. Currently, I am living with my aunt and uncle.” I gulped. What else should I say to the thirty dozen eyes that were looking at me? “Thank you for having me here!” Saying that, I sat down. I heard some giggles and grunts, and then all settled down.

As the class progressed, I could feel his eyes boring holes in my back. I felt hot and cold at the same time. Man, as soon as I was out, I would search for Briana and Nate and also change my seat. Thankfully, Briana would be in my next class.

As soon as the class ended, I picked up my satchel and ran out to my locker. The crowded hallway of the school was filled with the noise of students chatting and lockers slamming shut. Nervously, I tried to navigate my way through the crowd and came to stand in front of my

locker, I called Briana to tell her where I was and as I fumbled with my combination lock, from the corner of my vision, I saw three girls, including Tracy, approaching me. S**t f**k. What was the number of the lock? With an air of confidence, Tracy came and leaned next to my

locker, her friends giggling and whispering to each other while glancing at me.

“Hi, I’m Tracy, and these are my friends, Kayla and Kat,” she started with a smile. Then her tone dripped with sarcasm. “Oh, I love your
