SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ALPHA CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
ARIA“I’ll leave you to it,” Principal Lockhart said, her polished heels clicking toward the door. “Enjoy your class of discovering possibilities.”Her voice carried that confident, administrative tone that filled every corner of the room — polished, distant, practiced. It was the kind of voice that commanded attention without trying, like she’d said those same words a hundred times before.When the door closed behind her, the echo of her heels lingered for a moment before fading into silence. The stillness that followed felt heavy, as though she’d taken with her the last trace of warmth from the air.Discovering possibilities.The phrase floated above us like a promise wrapped in warning. It didn’t sound like a beginning. It sounded like the start of something we weren’t ready for.For a few seconds, no one moved. You could hear the faint, uneven rhythm of breathing — the sound of a class collectively unsure of what came next. Then, Miss Morrigan turned. Slowly. Her movements were fl

ARIA I pushed the classroom door open, deliberately ignoring the curious glances that followed me. Heads turned, whispers started—but I didn’t care. I had faced enough humiliation for one day. I didn’t want anyone near me, especially Jenna. She had caused all of this and hadn’t done a thing back in the hallway or defended me, admitting she posted the photo and I wasn’t about to forgive that. I slung my bag over my shoulder and slid into a seat in the far corner, the one closest to the window, farthest from everyone else. Away from whispers and judgement.I let my back sink into the chair, hoping it would somehow shield me, even if only physically, from the stares and the whispers. The classroom seemed too bright. The murmurs of other students scraped against my nerves like sandpaper. I pressed my palms against my face, letting the sting of humiliation and anger churn together in my chest, a bitter taste at the back of my throat.I didn’t want to talk to anyone. Especially Jenn

ARIA “I said enough.” Adrian’s voice cut through the hallway, low, sharp, and firm. The sound seemed to echo off the walls, carrying a weight that made my chest tighten. Cassie froze mid-step. Her perfectly glossed lips parted as she blinked at him, eyes narrowing, sharp and calculating. Every strand of her glossy hair caught the fluorescent lights, her silver earrings glinting as if mocking the tension now stretching between us. She opened her mouth to respond, but a flicker of uncertainty crossed her face—a split second that made my stomach twist. “Can’t you see?” she spat, voice dripping with irritation. “She’s posting pictures over social media, claiming you’re a couple. Don’t you get how desperate she is?” My heart thudded painfully against my ribs. The hallway seemed to shrink around me. Every whisper, every giggle, every click of a phone screen felt amplified, bouncing against the walls, making the space feel smaller, tighter, suffocating. I gripped my backpack strap so hard

ARIA I unlocked my phone with trembling fingers, my thumb hovering over the screen. A dull sense of unease pressed at my chest, and I tried to shake it off. But the moment I opened F******k, my stomach dropped. New Couple Alert 💕 — Aria & Adrian! Who would have thought the weirdo has eyes for the famous basketballer? 😍🔥 My chest seized. The words blurred before my eyes, my hands shaking violently as I held the phone. I couldn’t breathe. My stomach twisted sharp and cold, as though someone had plunged a knife straight through it. Adrian? Adrian? What—what was this? I swiped down slowly, my thumb trembling with fear and disbelief. There it was: a photo from today’s tutorial session. My face—beaming with smiles, completely unguarded beside Adrian. And him… calm, relaxed, almost happy. The caption turned it into something cruel. I was just trying to reach him. Hundreds of comments flooded in, mocking and cruel. “Didn’t think she had a chance 😂” “Aria? Really? Adrian has a girl

ARIAI arrived home earlier than usual that day. The heat hit me the second I stepped inside, thick and heavy, pressing against my skin like a warning. The faint smell of burnt oil and sweat lingered in the air, the kind that comes from cooking too long and forgetting to open a window.I closed the door quietly behind me, the creak echoing through the small, still apartment.“Mama?” I called out, dropping my school bag beside the door. But there was no answer.She was supposed to be home. She hadn’t gone to work today—not since they fired her. Maybe she went down the street to buy something? Still, the house felt too quiet. Usually, I’d hear the soft hum of the TV or the clatter of pots in the kitchen. But today there was nothing—just the distant rumble of a generator outside and the faint laughter of children playing somewhere down the street.The living room was dim, so I flicked the switch. The bulb didn’t come on.“Power’s out again,” I muttered, wiping sweat from my forehead. Ty

ARIA Her eyes widened, jaw dropping slightly, as they landed on him. He was there. Adrian. I froze mid-step, unsure where to look first. Jenna’s expression shifted from disbelief to awe in seconds, and I could feel the sudden tension in the air. He looked at her with that faint, knowing smirk, leaning casually against one of the desks. Not aggressive, not threatening, just entirely confident. “I didn’t know you attended tutorials,” he said, his voice smooth and teasing. Jenna blinked, clearly flustered. “W-well… Aria is my friend. I just thought I’d… attend.” “Hi, Adrian,” she said finally, her voice unsteady. For a moment, the room felt quieter than normal, like I couldn’t hear anything besides him speaking. I realized my hands were gripping my notebook a little too tightly, my pulse going faster than it should. I cleared my throat. “Okay, if everyone’s done staring,” I said, giving Jenna a pointed look, “we can actually start the tutorial.” Jenna slumped into a chair, her c
