Chapter 14

—Good morning! Ameri is ready?

—Good morning, Dan... She'll be right out!

Answered my mother as I grabbed my backpack and then put it on my back, without first saying goodbye to my parents.

—I'm going to school...

I gave my father a kiss, then I went to the door and said goodbye to my mother.

—I'll be back later, mom.

—You didn't forget anything?

—No...

After answering I walked with Dan's company towards the school.

—You are very cheerful today Ameri

—You think so?

I answered with a smile

—Is there anything you did that I haven't heard about?

—No... But I'm happy because we are close to finishing elementary school and going to high school.

I said raising my fist in the air

—but that's months away

—I know, but it's exciting! Or aren't you happy about it?

—Yes I am... But I know how to take things in stride. .... Unlike other people

—uhm?

I looked at him as I quickly closed and opened my eyes.

It's been three more years since I last got sick... Currently, Dan and I are thirteen years old... we're also about to finish elementary school to make way for the big high school.

"Where everything gets more exciting!"

You know what I mean, this is the stage where the impossible becomes possible! Where love happens! Where pheromones drive people crazy! Where I get to see several couples!

Sorry for the exaggerated description, but when it comes to Omegaverse I get so excited that I completely forget about everything and focus on my world.

Some of you may ask, what kind of Omegaverse are you living in?

Well, to be more exact I live in a world where Omegas don't wear collars around their necks, where Betas can get pregnant and can also get Omegas pregnant... Of course, they don't feel the pheromones that Alphas or Omegas can emit.

That's right... This is the world where I currently live... As you may already know Dan is Alpha, but not just any Alpha but an Alpha Dominant, the test they performed that day proved what was already known from the beginning and although he didn't care... His popularity increased more than usual, even some of higher grades were already starting to be interested in him.

On the other hand, I... I have no gender; I know some will say:

"that's impossible, you must at least have one, you live in an Omegaverse world."

I know... I know and they are right, but it is the truth.

Since I had not attended classes for the gender test, Alicia took a blood sample from me the same day I got sick while I was sleeping, so she could determine my gender and report it to the school.

After two days Alicia had the results, which revealed that I did not possess any secondary gender... It was a big surprise for me to receive such news, I assumed that at least I would be a Beta, but it was not so.

It turns out that I was just a normal girl, Alicia told me that this kind of cases only happened in very rare cases, one in a million to be exact, but that I had nothing to worry about and that I should just live like a normal person.

It doesn't really matter to me, since this is an advantage for me if I were Omega I would be affected by the pheromones of the Alphas and if I were Alpha I would be affected by that of the Omegas... Although it wouldn't be bad to be Beta, I thought all that would be the only thing he would say, but if that wasn't enough he prescribed me some special pills for me.

The reason is because of the fever I had... Since I don't have a gender and I don't emit pheromones, instead of going into heat I just get sick and the pills keep me from feeling pain as I go into this process.

When the school found out about my situation it didn't take long for the other kids to start looking at me funny and teasing me.

That they must have thought they would hurt me emotionally with their silly trick of picking on the stranger... Please if I was really a weak child maybe... but I am an adult mentally and tricks like that don't work on me.

There was no time when they would say to me:

"There goes the weird one" or "don't go near her otherwise she would erase your gender."

They even said worse things that I won't mention because it would be too much to say, so much that Dan wanted to hit them, but I stopped him, because it wasn't worth using violence on people who were just kids with no brains for just talking like that.

But the day came... the point where my patience got out of my hands, as the saying goes:

"Even buddha can lose patience" or something like that it said.

It was a week ago... that day the class had finished early and as usual Dan and I left the classroom together, but just that day I had forgotten my pencil case in the classroom, so I told Dan to wait for me, as I would only be a moment late.

Before I opened the classroom door I heard the voice of two children talking

—It's so disgusting

—Yes... How is it possible that they let a weird person be in our school?

—Unlike Dan, he's so cool! If it wasn't for Ameri's weirdness we'd be friends by now!

-I'm sure she thinks that by being around him she'll get a gender!

She said laughing, as I listened to everything they were saying from the doorway.

"These kids are so immature"

I thought indifferently without taking them into account, until....

—I'm sure their parents are useless

—I heard that their mother was a prostitute and that their father cheated on their mother with a beautiful lover.

—Really? How awful... His family sucks.

Just hearing them say that, a fury inside me began to well up, I felt my chest become hot and just clenching my fists was not enough to endure such an insult towards my parents.

"How dare they... How dare they talk about my parents like that!"

I thought as I listened on the other side of the door to the nonsense they were talking while I kept clenching my fists with out and biting my lip.

And without further ado I burst into the classroom opening the door loudly.

—I shouted angrily.

I shouted angrily and watched them with a frown on my face as I approached the children.

—I can tolerate that they talk bad behind my back, push me on purpose, even let them insult me, but... Talking about my parents like that, I will never tolerate that!

I know some will call me immature for letting that get to me, but they were messing with my parents, the two people I love in this whole world, despite having a genderless daughter like me, they never looked down on me... on the contrary, they still loved me just the way I am.

So strong was the fight that the kids that little by little began to surround us some kids, making the teachers appear to separate us and among them appeared Dan holding me.

—Fighting in school is forbidden!

Said one of the teachers

—You three will go to the principal's office right now! While teacher Carl calls their respective parents

After the wake-up call, the three of us sat in the hall while our parents came to pick us up. I was with my hair all messed up and some minor scratches, while those two boys were in a worse state, one had swollen cheeks and the other a swollen lip with bruises on his arms.

—Ameri, what happened? Aren't you usually like this?

Dan asked, standing in front of me holding a backpack.

I didn't know what to answer to that... I felt so ashamed of myself, all I did was to duck my head and fix my gaze to the ground.

—I...

—Don't go near her, Dan!

exclaimed one of the boys who was sitting on the bench in front of me.

—That girl is crazy! She attacked us out of nowhere, didn't she?

asked the other boy

—Yes it's true, she said some very ugly things to us!

"How can they lie like that!"

I thought as I tightened the fabric of my dress

"I would never do such a thing"

I wanted to cry so much...

—Did I ask for your opinion?

Dan answered in a serious yet disturbing voice.

—If you're not going to say something rational... You'd better keep your mouths shut..." I spoke.

When I managed to raise my head, I couldn't see Dan's expression because his back was turned, but I could see the expression of those children, they looked a little scared.

—Dan...

With a broken voice and with my eyes that were about to shed tears, I pronounced.

—I would never hurt anyone on purpose...

—I know... Ameri is a good child.

She answered with a kind smile...

—if you say you didn't... I believe you...

My tears overflowed and started to brush against my cheeks

Dan for his part was stroking my head lovingly, but for some reason I felt he was looking at the two children with a sinister look, when I was wiping my tears all I could observe was a boy with a tender look.

"It must have been my imagination"

I thought just looking at him.

Suddenly the parents of those two children arrived and began to look at me with a bad expression, while those two pretended to be the real victims.

—What kind of school is this?!

one of the parents complained angrily

—Allowing a delinquent to enter this school is unacceptable!

—Exactly! What kind of girl assaults others for no reason?

—I would die of shame to have such a daughter.

"These people are so annoying... I know where your children got their ignorance from."

—Thank God I'm not... Otherwise I'd be an ignorant child.

I smiled sarcastically as Dan tried to hide his laughter at the response I gave.

—But what a rude girl!

—No offense sir, but the rude one is you. What kind of adult bullies a child?

Dan replied

—I'm not bullying her... I'm just telling her the truth.

—Well, your actions prove otherwise....

—Well said Dan

Answered my father who had appeared along with my mother, both of them with serious faces that showed annoyance.

—Mom... Dad...

"I hope I'm not in trouble"

I thought nervously and a little worried.

—Calm down, honey...

Said my mother who hugged me

—Mom and Dad will work it out...

Her words comforted me...

—Yes...

The adults tried to avert their eyes in embarrassment and the children looked at my parents with a slight blush.

"What can I say... My parents are people with good genes."

After a moment the principal came out calling the parents and the children involved. You can imagine the scene those kids made pretending they didn't do anything, according to their side of the story they were the victims and I was the wrongdoer.

—That's a big lie! They are always bothering me and talked bad about my parents.

—We didn't do that

said one crying

—On the contrary, we wanted to be your friends

"How well acted those scoundrels had them!"

I thought as I looked at him.

—Look at your reaction, headmistress, just looking at you proves that the children's story is true!

—She needs to be expelled!

Said one of the parents... While mine listened, but at the same time they gave annoyed looks.

—principal

said my father in a serious voice.

—I don't justify my daughter's action, but... Tell me, is it right for children to involve other people?

—True... but violence is not a solution and that is not allowed in this school.

The headmistress answered

—if she was being bullied she should have told the teachers about it.

"Yes, of course... They would just call them to attention, then they would continue with the same thing outside the school."

—Mr. Mark, unfortunately I will have to expel your daughter for the harm caused to these children.

I clearly felt how those children were making fun of me for my situation and the parents were smiling satisfactorily for the principal's answer, suddenly I remembered something at that moment.

—If there was proof of what I said, would my situation change?

—Of course... But I doubt that anyone else would have seen what had happened.

—I know this is forbidden to bring to school, but I have no other alternative to prove my innocence.

From my pocket I took out my cell phone... Then I played back what I had recorded when those kids were talking and I was behind the door listening to everything. I could clearly hear them insulting my parents by calling one a cheater and the other a prostitute. Both the children's parents and my parents were shocked by how those children were expressing themselves.

After this, the children could no longer continue pretending, their parents' faces fell with shame.

I was not going to let them blame me in vain, I am a child, but I say it again, my mind is that of an adult and I am one step away from those silly children. Now the roles changed... The ones expelled would be them, although I'm no slouch either... for bringing my cell phone to school I was punished for a day.

"It's better to be punished than to be expelled."

After that my life went back to normal, the parents of those kids apologized to me... I accepted their apology like the mature adult I am, but deep down I felt superior to them.

Shortly after that... My parents gave me some news...news that really shocked me.

It was something I couldn't believe, even though they told me while we were having dinner.

—We're moving?

I asked surprised, dropping my spoon on my plate of food, it was really unexpected news, even for me who was already used to living here in the big city.
