Chapter 4 Alpha Xander's Human Mate 4

• Claire POV~
• Today is Monday again. I can’t believe a week has already passed. I am gradually getting used to staying here. It isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.
• Alright now I am so exhausted and sleepy even though it is morning. I stayed up all night yesterday night. I watched all the seasons of Emily in Paris. The new Netflix show that people have been bothering me about. And since my parents' bedroom is on the first floor while mine is on the second floor, mom was not able to stop me from watching. I just hope that I survive today’s school.
• Just like last week, mom dropped me off at the school’s gate and I went in. Everything seems normal and the same as it was last week. Well everything except for the expensive sports cars that were packed at the end of the left hand side of the packing space. The cars were about ten or so in numbers and all of them were in different colors. Damn! I wondered who owns them. They looked too expensive for a high school kid to drive. The amazing part is that all the cars bear the same plate number, “ Avila”. Avila. I tried to remember where I heard the name from but I couldn’t lay a finger. I ended up concluding that the school had important visitors today and that explains the cool cars.
• I made my way into the school building and met Ashley waiting for me at the entrance and together we made our way to the class.
• We were able to reach our class five minutes before classes commenced. Only a few people were already present.
• In the middle row of the class, I noticed three new faces that were not present last week. Maybe they are new students I thought before I quickly rethink it. They look too comfortable to be new students because trust me, no matter how you try to blend in as a new student and try not to be noticed, people will still know you are one because it’s completely written all over your face, how you walk and even talk. Crazy I know but that’s the truth.
• Two of the students were girls and a boy. To be honest I can’t even decide which one of them is finer than the other. They were all very fine, with glowing skin, clear eyes and pink lips. They were also wearing expensive shoes and watches. Damn! They even made the school uniform look so good. Instead of sneakers, the girls were putting on high rise high heels booths and that totally killed it making them look like they were dressed for a modeling shoot.
• Before I could ask Ashley who they were, the bell rang and the teacher got in. So I made a mental note to ask her during lunch period.
• So far the classes have been going on quite well. That's if you subtract the time I fell asleep in tomorrow's different classes. The aero physics teacher had to make me go to the wash room and wash my face before going back to the class which was a little bit embarrassing.
• It was lunch time already. Since the first, I have been sitting with Ashley friends at lunch. They were all nice but talked a little bit too much for my liking.
• I joined the line and got my lunch and sat quickly eager to ask Ashley who those students were.
• Suddenly, the whole cafeteria went quiet and I wondered why and it was at that moment that I saw them.
• They are all twelve in number, five boys and seven girls. All the girls had the same kind of high heels boots on just like the girls from morning classes. All of them looked so fine. I understand why everyone is staring at them. I can’t help but stare too. Wow I never knew people could look so fine. They made their way to a table that looks different from everyone else. I wonder who they are. Everyone in the school is rich so for them to have such special treatment, they must be very important. Not until they had their seat before everyone else continued with what they were doing.
• “Who are they?”. I ask no one in particular.
• “They are the Avila’s”.
• “The what?”. I think I have heard the name somewhere but I can’t remember exactly where.
• “The Avila’s. They are one of the most influential families in the world. They have a branch of their empire in almost if not all sectors. Be it medicine, technology, finance. Just name it. They got a company in each field.” Cole explained.
• “Omg!! You have to see their house! It looks like a presidential villa!”. Jennifer said excitedly.
• Becky rolled her eyes at her; “ have you ever been to the house or what?”.
• “Well I pass through there every day. But I wish to enter it one day. The house looks like a fairy tale”. Jennifer said dreamily and everyone at the table laughed and we went back to eating our lunch.
• I turned back and looked at them. And lo and behold, the most handsome guy at the table is looking directly at me. He has dark green eyes which was unusual but it made him look hotter. Damn I think I have a crush.
• “Who is he?”. I asked Ashley.
• “O no! He is a no go zone. That is Alexander Gray Avila. He is the son of the CEO and also the heir to the Avila Empire. Cool I know. All the girls and the gay guys have a crush on him. But he never looked at any of them. In fact he hardly talks to anyone else”. Ashley explained.
• And there goes my heart.
• I turned and looked at him again and is still looking at me.
• “Who are you looking at hh?” Aisha who was sitting at my side whispered into my ears.
• “Nobody!”. I screamed and that brought the attention of everyone at my table.
• Bravo Claire, bravo!
• Looking at my flush face, they must have guessed what was going on.
• “Looks like someone has a crush on our golden boy!”. Cole teases me while I shake my head indicating no. I know how people can make a big deal out of nothing. So I don’t want them in the near future thinking I like him. He is handsome and good to look at. Am just admiring God’s creation, there isn’t anything wrong with that right?
• “Don’t even think about it, he is never going to look at you. You are just like the rest of his crush!.” Becky said bitterly. I wonder what’s her problem.
• “Becky, chill! Nobody is trying to steal your crush!”.
• O! So that’s her problem.
• So just because she has a crush on him, so can’t look at him or what? For heaven sake he isn’t even her boyfriend.
• “What did I say wrong? I'm just warning her not to get her hopes high or she will have her heart broken.” Becky started with an innocent look on her face. Well there is a saying that the devil has an innocent face. Not that I ask for advice, miss adviser.
• “You might want to keep the advice to yourself because he has been looking at her since he sat down.” Aisha came to my rescue. She obviously didn't like what Becky had said.
• As soon as she said that, we all turned and looked at Avila's table and indeed he was looking at me. Very intensely. I find that very strange. Maybe I look like someone he knows. He must have noticed us looking at him, he turned his attention back to his table and we turned to yours too.
• “Seee” Aisha sang-said while looking directly at Becky.
• “He was just looking in this direction, how sure are we that he is looking at her?”. Becky fired back at her.
• “Okay guys stop it! Let’s just eat okay!”. Ashley echoed and everyone kept quiet. I already lost my appetite and before any of them could react, I stood up and left the cafeteria and went to the venue of our next class.
• After lunch was over, they all came back to class but nobody talked to me. Maybe they thought I was angry at what happened.
• “Hey! Am sorry for what Becky did at lunch, she can be childish sometimes”. Ashley, who is seated beside me, whispered into my ears just before the teacher entered.
• “It’s fine! I am not angry”. I gave her a smile and turned my attention back to the board.
• ***
• It was school closing time and I am waiting for mom to come pick me up. That’s kind of embarrassing, I know. I really need to learn how to drive so that I can get my own car. Ashley had offered to give me a ride but I already called mom and she is on her way.
• Just then, I saw the Aliva kids making their way towards the side of the car park where the expensive sports cars were parked. How that’s where I know their name from. Each of the cars have “Aliva'' as their plate number. Cool I thought.
• As they passed by where I was standing, they all turned to look at me as if they were analyzing me. Well all then accept the most handsome aka my new crush. I can’t actually remember his name. After that, they kept on talking as they walked and it was as if they were talking about me. But that can’t possibly be true. Can it? I am nobody to them.
• Twenty minutes later, mom came and picked me up and as soon as I entered my room, I video called my friends in Australia.
• “And guess who remembered us today!!”. Joyce said as soon as she picked the call.
• I rolled my eyes at her; “you can’t be serious! We talked the day before yesterday”.
• “Whatever Joyce, how is Australia!”. I asked her.
• “Australia is still the Australia you know!”. She responded and we continued gisting waiting for the other girls to join the video call.
• “What's up guys!”. Elsa said as she joined the video call. Soon Lily also joined and we began to gist and catch on.
