The Alpha Chose Me by Missy Elliottxo

"I got an email about your application from my contact. He couldn't stop raving about it so I sent him your paper. They want to offer you a place". Holy f*****g god was he being serious?

"You failed to mention that you applied by the way".

"It was a spur of the moment kind of thing and I wasn't sure if I was too late, obviously I wasn't". I couldn't believe this. I got accepted into Yale.

"Oh no your application was too late but they want you. They think you'll be a great asset to them".

"They do?". I whispered.

"You've got something Leah. All I ask is that you don't waste it by not doing anything with it".

Reality set in. I couldn't go to Yale, I couldn't be that far from Jake. The thought was nice while it lasted but I knew it could never happen.

"Can I go to class now sir?".

"You don't want to be stuck here Leah. Yale is a brilliant university. Not many students get accepted on a late application. Really think about it before you make any decisions".

There wasn't anything I needed to think about. Jake would never let it happen. We were just starting a fresh, I couldn't leave. The closest I was getting to university was the community college here or online courses. "I'll see you at 4 for your detention. We'll chat more about it. Maybe I could give you a little guidance". He smiled.

"Maybe". I shrugged. "Can you give me that late slip so I don't end up with more detention?".

He wrote out the slip handing it to me. "Don't be afraid to do what you want. It's your life, put that brain to use, make something of yourself".

"Right". I left his classroom feeling deflated. I literally just got the best news ever and I couldn't accept the offer.

Chemistry was chemistry. I was getting a lot better, quicker at solving equations. Ryan was being Ryan, the life and soul of the party.

Alanna wasn't here today. Another day all by myself and in the downer I was in I had a feeling it was going to be a long day.

"When you getting that cast off?". Ryan asked.

The fucker had already finished his work and refused to help me because he knew I could do it.

shrugged. "You wanna do
