After breakfast, Yorick grabs our trays and throws them away before taking my hand as we wait for our new ... are they friends? I've never had friends before. Being an Alpha female isn't exactly conducive to having friends, unless they are other Alphas. Women are either intimidated by your status or want to use it to help themselves. It's hard to find someone who genuinely wants to befriend you because of the person you are. My exposure to other Alphas was limited to Stellan and his family and he doesn't have any sisters.

Yorick, on the other hand, seems to have accepted our new friends easily. Maybe it's because he comes from such a large family or maybe it's just different for Alpha males, but he seems willing to accept all three of our classmates at face value.

We start our tour with the classroom area. Here, there is an auditorium that looks like it can seat more than the students who attend school here.

"Maybe this is where they hold graduation ceremonies?" Landon says.

"Does anyone know if they do expos? Maybe they invite others in to showcase our skills. Maybe headhunters or others looking for warriors," Zach says.

"That's a good thought. An elite academy like this would want to make sure that their students were all well placed after graduation."

"And not everyone goes all four years. Most don't make it that long. I'm pretty sure there are only thirty upperclassmen at the Academy," Piper says.

"I wonder if that's a choice or if they weren't hired by someone on the outside," Yorick says as we look around.

Beyond the auditorium, there are much smaller classrooms. This is what I was expecting to find and since there are only twenty of us, we'll all be in classes together.

"Have you met any of the others?" Piper asks me.

"No. We saw some when we were jogging this morning, but I have no idea if they are first years, upperclassmen, or even professors."

"Hey, um, I don't want to be presumptuous, but I know for me, as an Alpha female, I never really had any friends. I'm the only female in my family and honestly, I've spent enough time with Alpha males to never want to spend any more time with one. I don't know if it was the same for you, but maybe we could be friends?" she asks.

"It is the same for me. So I'll tell you, I don't really know much about being a good friend, but I'd love to be your friend."

"We can learn together and I'd say friends eat together, study together, maybe go out to bars together? I'd say we could go searching for hot guys, but you've already found your own Alpha hottie, so that's off the table," she says.
