All Chapters of The Alpha Academy Wants Me Dead - My Mate is my Enemy : Chapter 11 - Chapter 18

JAMIEI finished the sandwich in a few bites and drank the rest of my coffee before it went completely cold.I stood up, adjusting the uniform vest over my shoulders, ready to find my first classroom.And I really hoped I wouldn't get lost.Anything but that.Ronald looked up from the floor he was cleaning.“What’s your next class?” he asked casually, as if it were just another question in his day. “Do you know where the classroom is?”I pulled the folded paper from my pocket and checked my schedule, even though I already knew what it said by heart.“Defense,” I answered, without mentioning the professor. Without mentioning those eyes that were far too cold to forget. “Then history. And finally, tactics with Professor Damon.”He let out a low whistle, as if that schedule alone said something about my day.“I can show you all three classrooms, if you want.”He stood up, dropping the cloth into the bucket.“They’re on my way anyway. I need to clean a few of the corridors around there.”

JAMIEI walked to the end of the hallway and turned the corner looking for Ronald, but the place where I had left him earlier was empty.Only the bucket of water sat forgotten in the corner.The laundry room was empty too.Damn it. Where could he be? Maybe the gym. The training grounds, perhaps?I headed in that direction, crossing the main corridor before stepping out onto the open campus.The morning rush was already in full swing.Groups of students were scattered along the stone pathways, laughing, talking excitedly, filling the academy with the ordinary noise of another school morning.As I watched them, one certainty settled firmly inside me.The truth is getting closer. I know it is. And I won't stop until the person responsible is exposed.I entered the gym and found Ronald there, cleaning the rows of chairs arranged along one side of the room.His movements were quick, almost hurried, as if he wanted to finish before he was supposed to.I approached slowly, letting my footste

JAMIEIt had already been four days since I arrived.Four days of memorizing corridors, learning classroom locations, and figuring out the fastest route between the dining hall and the dormitories without having to stop and check the folded paper in my pocket.But I still didn't know everyone.I need to know who the Alphas are, the important people.I adjusted my backpack strap as I joined the line forming on the academy's sports field. The morning sun was already warm.A physical education teacher stood at the front. He was a broad, commanding man—the kind who didn't need to raise his voice to be heard—as he explained the sports offered at the academy.“Choose up to two sports,” he said, pacing in front of the line. “You must participate in at least one, If you choose two, even better.”Perfect.I needed something to occupy my mind.More importantly, I needed to learn more about this place, professors, students, about anything.I wasn't going to waste an opportunity like this. I look

JAMIEI changed into my training uniform in the girls' locker room, feeling an excitement I hadn't expected to have that day. At least there, I could burn off some real energy without having to pretend I cared about ancient bloodlines or swallow one provocation after another. I could let my anger out, playing on the court.I finished changing, glanced at myself in the long mirror mounted on the wall, and pulled my hair into a ponytail, firmly sweeping the strands back.I'm ready.I walked onto the court, where the physical education teacher was already waiting, explaining the rules of volleyball to those who weren't familiar with them yet. They weren't difficult to memorize: pass, set, spike, block. I paid enough attention not to embarrass myself in front of everyone, and soon the teams were divided.I started playing.I tried to catch the ball several times, and some I managed, throwing the ball hard and the other team couldn't catch the ball, we had won a point, thank goodness.
