He was fast. Really fast. It was surprising because not a lot of Omegas run, so they end up pretty slow.  Omegas were naturally fast, so they could run away and hide, but when they don't work on it and exercise, they end up slow. Now, Xae was fast, yeah, but he was faster than normal. Like, he almost beat me. And I run every day. He also had stamina. We ran six times around the track, and he kept his spot and his pace. We were both done long before any of the others, so now we're waiting. The coach hadn't noticed Xae before because of the big crowd, but now he was sitting there in plain sight, not even panting or sweating after that mile and a half. That he sprinted. I have to say, I'm impressed, but I can't help but wonder how much farther he could have gone before collapsing of exhaustion. Cause when all the other guys got here, they did basically just that. 7 Of them were on the ground, 12 were sitting down, and 3 were chugging water bottles. The coach wasn't paying attention, still eyeing Xallaren who was lightly kicking Demitree who had come over and laid on the ground. 

"Who are you?" Almost all the noise stopped as we looked at the coach. No one knew who he was talking to, but we all wanted to find out. When they saw him looking at Xae, they all looked a bit tense. Everyone is naturally protective of Omegas, because if they get hurt, if they're sad, or if they feel uncomfortable, they give off pheromones that negatively affect Betas and Alphas. So, everyone usually tries to keep Omegas comfortable and happy. But I don't think that Xae gives off the same pheromone. During the debate, he was obviously angry, a negative emotion, so he should have given off bad vibes, but what he gave off was completely different. I can't explain it, cause it only happened once, and for a split second.

"I'm Xae, Pleased to meet ya!" He excitedly replies to the coach, probably happy to get noticed. 

"You're an Omega, no?" The question had him feeling that same feeling as before, and for the same amount of time. The coach must have noticed, because he smiled, "Sorry for asking, it's just surprising to see one out here. All these big lugs usually bully them out of it," 

"Heh, yeah, the same thing almost happened to me. My brother didn't want me to show him up!" Demi and the coach laugh, while Akoni just smiles. Everyone seems much more relaxed, continuing what they were previously doing. 

"Yeah. So, what made you try out?" The coach was still talking to him, walking a little closer to him.

"Oh, I'm not here to actually be on the team, I just wanted to be an assistant dude. Y'know, like, fetch the water and go to all the practices. Like, be part of the team but not on the team?" The coach understood what he was saying but obviously didn't get why he was doing it. 

"Then why are you sweating with them? You just have to ask, kid," He must've not cared that he just beat mostly all of us at that run because he gives the kid a way out. I would have made him join the team if he was that fast. 

"Just had to out-do all these Dominants. Needed to show them who's boss," He smirks at us, casually dissing all of us. Ouch. 

The coach laughs and tells him to come and help him decide the team. He was still walking weird. He had been doing it all day but trying to hide it. Must be really hurting. I feel sad for him. Sympathetic. That's what I think I'm looking for. I don't know. It's like I think of him, and all my vocabulary goes out the window. He makes me so happy and excited. Like a puppy. We continue to do what we're told, Ren just watching. Lucky b@$!@#d.

At the end of it, we're all sweating and dying while he looks perfect. we all head to the locker room, him trailing behind. We get there and we all start to change, Ren just sitting there. Makes sense. He didn't do anything. 

"What happened? Thought you were tough enough to join the big kids," I know he'll get angry. He wants to be seen as an alpha. 

"HE wouldn't play me at all. Wouldn't want me to get hurt." Makes sense. The rest of the thing goes by without a hitch, both of us leaving for our own seperate lives. We'll see each other again tomorrow. Hopefully. but, for now, I have to deal with my mess of a life.
