Welcome to Hillsview highschool. A school run by hard-working staff and student council. The head of this student council being Celine Murphy. She was one of the first female council presidents. What makes this even more amazing is that she’s a pretty strong alpha. Though despite what most would think, she has never once solved a problem aggressively. Most of the time when there is a fight she just uses her pheromones to calm the party down until they are calm enough to talk things out. She's been student council president since her sophomore year. Now she's beginning her junior year. Every morning for the past year she has woken up early to greet the students and check uniforms as they walk in. Today is no exception.

Celine is at the school gate watching the students come in and then she hears the voice she knows well. Riley Colson. Riley was in the council’s office a multitude of times last year. A few times for uniform the rest though were so she could start what is now her pride and joy. The Hillsview archery team. Riley spent half of her freshman year pushing and raising for the archery team. Before winter started she had the team open for tryouts. Despite how much trouble she may have subconsciously caused for the student council, they all have to give her credit for fighting against what is assumed about omegas. Not just with fighting so hard for this team but also for wanting it to begin with. Riley walked into the school gates smiling and talking to two of her teammates. She had her archery case in hand and was wearing an out of uniform hoodie. Celine walks up to Riley and her friends and taps Riley’s shoulder.

“Oh. Good morning Miss.President!”

Riley stops and chants happily. Sometimes Riley’s happy demeanor makes it hard for Celine to get onto her. “Good morning Riley. Do you mind taking off your hoodie? I can bring you a school one in a moment.”

When Celine points out Riley’s jacket Riley has a face of oh I forgot. “Thank you, Celine.”

Riley sighed relieved that Celine doesn’t seem mad about the hoodie. Riley pulls off the hoodie and gives a smile to Celine. “See you later prez!” Riley turned and caught up with her group as Celine shakes her head with a smile.

First block was a study block for both Celine and Riley. Riley was in the library reading quietly. After a good few minutes of looking for her, Celine found Riley in the library. Celine walked up quietly and tapped Riley’s shoulder. The sudden feeling terrified Riley, causing her to fall off her chair.

“Ow…”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” Celine offers her hand to Riley. Riley slowly took Celines hand. With one fluid motion, Riley was back on her feet. Riley wasn’t expecting so much strength from such a slim looking girl.

“T-Thank you.”

“Well, lets head to the student council room. You can study there with me after I get your jacket.” Riley shook her head ok. She didn’t think about it much until now but, Celine must be pretty lonely. Most of the time she is the only person in the student council room. On top of that, Celine isn’t in a club and she doesn’t have a friend group. At that moment Riley made up her mind, she was going to make sure to keep Celine company as much as she could.

“You can sit where ever you’d like.” Celine said to Riley as she moved to the uniform closet. Riley looked around and spotted where Celine had her stuff. Riley set her stuff beside Celine’s then sat in the seat beside Celine’s. Once Celine came back and saw where Riley was, she was kinda surprised. She wasn’t expecting her to sit by her. Celine handed a school sweatshirt then sat down.

“Do you need help with anything, Riley?”

“Not really. I didn’t have any summer work and haven’t had anything from my teachers. It is first block on the first day. Though I have been having trouble with Teagan.”

“Your co-captain?”

“Yes. She is very shakey while shotting and I’m having a hard time figuring out which training method would help her the most.”

“If I saw her shooting I could maybe help.”

“We have practice this afternoon if you wanna drop by. It would be a huge help.”

“I’d be delighted to.”

The rest of the block was spent with the two just getting to know each other. The interaction was something both girls needed. A break from their normal life and friends. They got along much better then anyone would have thought. Though whenever Riley would get worked up, Celine would lightly release some calming pheromones. They worked well on Riley. It was a bit odd but fascinating to Celine. Once the bell rang they separated and went to their next block, moving through the day until the fifth block came around. Riley was already on literature hall so it didn’t take her long at all to get to the room where film studies was. About two minutes before the bell rang, Celine walked into the classroom. Celine and Riley made eye contact. Riley good excited and patted the desk next to her. Celine got the message and sat by Riley. “Goodafternoonprez!” Riley spoke quickly and energetically. Celine laughed a little. Something about Riley’s energy just made Celine happy. “Good afternoon Riley.”

The class was very laid back and was mostly icebreakers. During this time Celine learned Riley’s favorite story was “The Fairy Dance”. It's from Irish folklore. Celine did know until then that Riley’s mom was Irish. She would have never known because Riley doesn’t have an accent.

Riley also learned something. She learned that one of Celine’s favorite books is “The Bronx Masquerade”. Riley had no clue that Celine like such emotionally driven books. She honestly thought that Celine read something like law books. Maybe they were nothing like they had thought. They had to work so closely for a whole year yet knew nothing about each other. It’s kinda funny to think that they were within arm’s length but never really talked. Now both girls were determined to get to know each other.

They spent most of the class just talking and laughing. They looked like close friends or a couple to other people. In reality, they were as close as a new friend. These kinds of moments make out how easy it is for people to assume things. They also show how easy it is for rumors to form. Look at it from the class’s point of view, a strong alpha with a cute omega. Talking and laughing. Not talking to anyone else. Who wouldn’t assume the same?
