SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ALPHA CHAPTER THIRTY - FIVE
ARIA The hallway had barely settled back into quiet when I heard the sharp click of heels approaching. My heart jumped, a frantic rhythm that seemed to echo in my ears. I instinctively pressed my back a little closer against the counter, unwilling to move too quickly, though the sound itself wasn’t threatening—it shouldn’t have been. But after what had just happened with Adrian, I couldn’t shake the tension, the residual fear that still prickled under my skin. Miss Morrigan appeared around the corner, clipboard in hand, eyes sweeping the hallway as though expecting something or someone to emerge. Her gaze landed on Adrian, and almost immediately, the air shifted. The shadow or whatever had been there seemed to dissolve, leaving only silence behind. “Oh, Adrian,” she said, her voice smooth, measured, but warm. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips, but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I see you’re busy with basketball practice.” She gestured toward the water bottl

ARIA “Adrian.” I called again, my voice trembling just slightly. The first time I said his name, he didn’t respond. He didn’t flinch, didn’t blink. He just stared at the doorway, rigid and tense, as if something—or someone—was standing there, waiting for him to notice. But there was nothing. The hallway beyond the gym was empty. No students or teachers were coming . And yet, the intensity of his gaze made the back of my neck tighten. My gut twisted with unease. I didn’t like feeling this small, as if an invisible wall separated us, an unseen pressure pinning him down, making him unreachable. “Adrian?” I tried again, louder, forcing my voice to cut through the quiet. Still nothing. The silence wrapped around us, suffocating and unrelenting, and I felt my pulse spike. I wanted to shake him, to demand he snap out of it, but I hesitated. Part of me feared disturbing this distant state. Another part feared what might happen if I did. Maybe I wasn’t seeing what he saw. Maybe some sh

ADRIAN “Time out!” the coach barked after another grueling round of scrimmage. The gym erupted instantly—players stumbling toward the sideline, breathing like they had run through fire, sneakers squeaking against the hardwood. Towels slapped over shoulders, water bottles cracked open, someone bent over with their hands on their knees trying not to pass out. Everyone was exhausted. Muscles burned, lungs dragged in air like it weighed something, and the sharp sting of sweat rolled down my spine and soaked the back of my shirt. My legs ached in that familiar way that meant I had pushed hard. But none of that compared to the other feeling, the one that wasn’t physical. The fire inside me had been simmering all practice, hot and restless, growing every minute. It wasn’t adrenaline. It wasn’t excitement. It was something deeper, older, and far more dangerous. Something I couldn’t let anyone see, especially not at school. I sank onto the bench, letting my elbows rest on my knees as I d

ADRIAN School ended, and I headed toward the gym for practice. Backpack slung over one shoulder, steps steady. Semi-finals were coming, but right now, it was all about drills, teamwork, and staying sharp. The gym was alive—the squeak of sneakers on hardwood, balls bouncing, teammates calling instructions, the faint smell of sweat and polish on the court. I dropped my backpack, pulled off my hoodie, and folded it neatly. Then I jogged to join the warm-ups. Stretching, light jogging, passing. Everyone was moving, talking, adjusting positions. The energy was contagious, each player feeding off the other, correcting mistakes, laughing quietly when someone stumbled. Coach spotted me immediately. “You’re late, Adrian.” “I had things to do,” I said evenly. He ran a hand over his face. “Fine… I hope it was something about your history grades. Because boy, I will have to bench you if you keep failing.” “I’m working on it,” I said, keeping my voice calm. “Good. You’re the best we’

ARIAThe hallway felt longer than usual, like it was stretching endlessly before me just to delay what I already knew was coming. Every sound—the echo of my shoes, the distant chatter of students, the faint hum of the lights—seemed magnified, bouncing inside my head until it was all I could hear. My heart was beating so fast it hurt, each thud a painful reminder of the principal’s words still ringing in my ears.Suspended.Investigation.Expulsion.The words replayed again and again until they stopped sounding like words and started feeling like a sentence—one that might end everything I had worked for.When I turned the corner and saw Eli standing near the staircase, I froze. He looked small somehow, smaller than I remembered, with his shoulders hunched and his head lowered like someone who had already been caught doing something wrong. My pulse quickened as a rush of heat crawled up my neck.It was him.He was the one—the student who had been caught cheating. The one who said I gav

ARIAI stepped into the principal’s office, my backpack suddenly feeling impossibly heavy, as if it carried not just books but every single worry I’d ever had. My chest tightened, a coil of panic curling inside me, and I had to take a shaky breath just to keep my hands from trembling.The scent of polished wood and that faint lemony air freshener filled the room—too clean, too calm. The kind of calm that comes right before a storm.As I entered, a student was being escorted out by a teacher. My eyes caught his face, and my heart stumbled. I knew him. One of my tutorial students—Eli. I’d spent hours helping him with math and biology. But now his head was bowed, and guilt flashed across his face before he quickly looked away.My stomach twisted. Why is he here? What happened?The door shut behind him with a soft click, leaving me alone with Principal Hastings. He didn’t speak right away. Just leaned back in his chair, hands folded neatly on the desk, his sharp gray eyes studying me. The
