Chapter 4

ELSA

Hurriedly I got out of class, I feel too exhausted to spend anymore minute in school. Thankfully that freak didn't follow me again, even after giving me dangerous glares in class. He left earlier than I did, gladly. I make it past the hall and out of the departmental building.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. There he was, standing with his friend and some other pretty girls I recognized. I glared at him with the side of my eye in disdain.

"Hey!" I suddenly heard.

What? I hope that's not for me again.

"Hey Elsa!" I turned to look at them, and obviously he was the one who called out.

"M... me?"

"Yes you, come" he replied.

Great, he figured out my name already.

"Why are you calling that geek, Dylan?" One of the girls asked him, he didn't say anything more till I was standing before them.

"We're one member short, want to join?"

"What?"

"No way you're letting her join our project team." The other girl fussed.

"And what's wrong with her joining our team?" He turned to me and asked again, "Want to join us? We could really use some of your help. I heard you are an Analyst genius."

"Uhh... I don't know. I barely even know you guys." I mutter under my breath.

"Yeah Dylan, she doesn't wanna be here obviously. She shouldn't join us."

Someone tell this brunette girl to shut up, or l loose it and smack her lipsticked face.

"I'm really just saving you the trouble of running around looking for a team to join. Just trying to help." He told me plainly.

"No, thank you".

I glanced at the girls before turning to leave, they were both obviously glad I didn't agree to join their team. I also didn't have the strength to bicker with them about it anyway.

I found my way out of the school premises, hurriedly going to the quarters. I still had unfinished business to do with my bed.

I open the door to my room, the sunlight spilling in through the open doors and glass windows. Posters of bands and boy groups I wouldn't recognize anywhere covered the other end of the wall, my roommate's corner. I wasn't cheesy enough to be interested in boy bands or obsessing over them, my roommate, Hannah was the one who had time for that. My Apple Mac proudly displayed on a smart mahogany desk that matched the rest of the furniture.

Seeing how lifeless and quiet the room is, she obviously isn't back from lectures. Thanks to Mr. Malcom, I get to come back much earlier. I launched myself on my bed, loving how it bounced when you did that.

My phone vibrated out of nowhere, reluctantly I took it out of my bag and was somehow glad to know mom's name wasn't on the caller ID this time. My big brother, Elvis.

"Hi Elvis"

"Elsie, been a while." I heard his calm voice boom over the phone.

"Yeah. We're not like mom who calls every minute to know if you're breathing right."

He laughed at my truthful statement, and I did too.

"How's college anyway?" he asked.

"The usual, I'm not complaining. How is working in your dream company like?"

Elvis sighed, "Trust me it's nothing like I day dreamed it to be. I'm getting a hang of it anyway, thanks for asking."

I smiled, "Yeah good for you." At this point, I didn't know what to say anymore. I have never been really close with my brothers, Elvis not excluded.

"I'm calling because mom ordered me to, please tell her I called and we talked at length. I have work to do now, take care." he told me.

I hummed a reply, "Yeah I will, you too."

Once Elvis hung up, I got off my bed and made to change into more comfy dresses.

The door suddenly sprang open. "Mama is homeeee!" was Hannah's voice echoing into the room. Seemed like everywhere I belong, I was always related to one over spirited person. First my mom, then my only friend from high school Lily, and now my college roommate Hannah.

"Sup roomie. Why are you back so early?" She asked, her loud voice filling the room.

"Class ended earlier than usual."

"Oh good for you"

I was done changing my clothes and was now lying in my very comfortable bed, Hannah knew better than to not disturb my peaceful sleep.

"Sleeping already after classes huh?" Hannah muttered.

She was used to my usual after class routine as well.

DYLAN

I can't believe she actually refused to join our group. After the girls left, I strolled with Finn back to our quarters, though I wanted to see her again. Elsa.

"A penny for your thoughts." Finn stated, jolting me out of my cerebration. We had gotten to our quarters and now in our rooms. I sit on my bed trying to recover the lost energy from today, tired from the day's stress.

"You've been zoning out these couple of hours. Anything to do with the lady who crashed your phone?" He asked out of the blue.

I sighed and replied him, "It's nothing of such, Finn."

"It's fine. You can totally spill with me around you, that's what best friends are for." Finn adds, sitting on his bed too facing me.

"You're really getting this friendship thing too mixed up in your head. I told you not to rush it."

"I don't like that you don't see us as friends." He pouted. I don't get why he's always been dramatic about everything.

"I guess we're friends, but best friends? It's only been a day, fellow."

"Whatever you say. Right, we're having another roommate today, he's also a transfer student like you."

Almost immediately the door creaked open, revealing a tall figure standing at the door. I didn't need to look twice at him before realizing who he was. Gamma Jake.

"Alpha Lycan?" He called out.

Shit! He just called me Alpha before Finn.
