Alphas: Omega Invasion

Allie A pretending to be Allie J

Allie A watched as a new girl stepped through the door of her writing class. She wove between the desks without a sound and sat down without a word next to Darwin. Allie pulled out her a-Pod and Alpha ID checked her. The only thing that showed up was a short and confusing message.

Eden Quintessence Kothari. Writer and various other professions. Currently has sixteen confirmed works in progress and her trilogy is to be released this year along with her alleged self help book series and rumors have it that her novels will be made immediately into movies in which she may star in. Subjects of the works and her trilogy are completely unknown and she uses acronyms to keep her works secret. Not much is known about her but she is an alleged to- be favorite of Hollywood because of her brains and analytical psychic abilities.

Allie thought about the message. Shira knew everything about everyone. How could she slip through the cracks of Shira's omniscient knowledge? Allie looked back to the girl. She had green eyes, medium colored golden-brown hair and extremely fair skin with small clumps of almost unseen acne at the top of her forehead trying to hide under her wild hair. She had thin, dark pink, oval- shaped glasses, her hair was a frizzy and tangled mess and she had a black cross- like pendant hanging on a black ribbon around her neck. What in the world made Shira think this girl was an Alpha?

The teacher started the lesson and the girl pulled out a pencil and a purple spiral notebook with paisley print. She leafed through the pages and folded her notebook over so she could write. Her hand scribbled furiously across the page and she only stopped to rub the gray marks off of her hand. She brushed back her hair with a red ponytail and closed her eyes.

The teacher called Eden's name three times but she didn't notice. The teacher, Keifer Lutz, walked over to Eden's desk and slammed her hand down. Eden let out an ear splitting scream and the class gasped.

Eden's voice came out low and frightening as she growled, "What the hell do you want?"

Keifer looked shocked and stepped back. "Nothing. I was about to tell you that we don't use notebooks. Use the tablets."

Eden said almost threateningly, "Do they have keyboards?"

"No but they…."

"I'm not using it. Period."

"But…"

"The reason why is because the rest of the world runs on print and not one fricking person in this damn room will be able to read what I write. Cursive dies after the second grade."

Allie's jaw gaped momentarily. No one ever stood against the teachers and not one person ever cursed. She glanced to Charlie and Darwin, who were looking at Eden with the same stunned expressions.

"I can understand your frustration but…" Keifer reasoned but Eden interrupted her.

"I have ten plot deadlines due by next week and I have no idea what the hell order I should even put them in. I have twenty chapters due by next month and I have seventeen scripts and corrections and ideas for scene splices to I have to review and edit. I have to go over what special effects have to be added and what person I want to direct them. I have to pick out actors, actresses, cover art and what should be in the front and back covers. I have to get everything and anything I have ever written about my novels typed and edited and put in order and proper format and give it to the most uncooperative editor in the world in two months. Do you think you understand how much pressure I'm under? I don't think so."

Keifer looked away and so did the rest of the class. Keifer resumed the lesson and Eden awkwardly started messing with the tablet. Soon a very loud beeping noise squealed out and Allie heard Eden curse silently. Keifer politely ignored it and the class slowly peeled their eyes away. Throughout the lesson, Allie could hear furious clicking and tapping coming from Eden's desk.

About a half an hour away from the end of class, Keifer called on Eden, who had just stopped her incessant tapping and was leaning over backwards. Eden snapped back up and asked, "What?"

Keifer repeated herself, "Would you like to share what you were clicking at earlier with the class?"

Eden shrugged. "I guess. It's an old story that started out as a fan fiction from Harry Potter. It was set in Harry's dad's generation and I added in a character who I later killed, brought back and killed again. I suppose that you are going to use the Wordz- to- Life program I heard about?"

Keifer nodded and started the presentation. The screen flickered to life as the students eagerly waited for what was in store.

It practically looked like a scene from a movie with the crisp detail. There was a crowd of people with their hoods up as they walked in a light rain towards a large building that Allie A recognized to be the school from Harry Potter. There was one hood that was down and it belonged to a very pretty girl. She looked like a refined version of Eden and she was looking around. The characters started talking and Allie felt like she was literally watching the opening of a movie. The characters were well fleshed out, the scene was built in, the mood was set in teenage hormones and the dialogue and relationships were well written.

When the chapter ended with the well timed exit of Elizabeth, the girl with her hood down, and the confusion of the Marauders and Lily, which was basically James's [who Allie just found out was Harry's dad] best friends and his future wife who all ended up being a part of Harry's life, Allie was amazed. The class clapped and Eden gave them a tight lipped smile.

Keifer asked her, "Eden, how long ago did you write this?"

She responded, "I wrote it last year. I didn't finish writing it though. I have the entire concept filled out but I plan on changing the names and turning it in to my editor."

Darwin commented, "It sounds like a cool thing but why did you have to piggy back off of someone else to do your work? You'll have to be more creative than that."

Eden narrowed her eyes and said sternly, "I don't have to piggy back off of others. I only do it sometimes because these little stories take my mind off of my other novels. I practice with these and take the experience of writing drama with the other characters and apply them to mine. You would see that if you read any of my books. They are coming out in November of next year."

"Why would you want to distract from your other works?" Yara asked. "Are they too boring for you to even think about?"

Eden stood up and said matter-of-factly, "No, dumb ass. I just don't work on one thing at a time. It's in my nature to multitask. I read five different books at one time, I work on four different aspects of projects at once and I work on as many ideas for novels that I have. I currently have over fifty that I'm working on. Burned and Ball are what I call my series and tril that I was working on a few months ago and some of the parts of the later books were more worked out than the earlier books during production. It happens with all of my books. Is there a problem with that?"

"Yeah, why would you name a series Burned and Ball? It sounds like a toddler slash pyromaniac story." Tatiana remarked.

Eden closed her eyes in frustration. "They are two different series. I can't tell you the specifics because I haven't obtained all the copyrights yet. My editor says that I can tell you in about four months, just not now. There is the Burned Series and the part- I- can't- tell- you Ball Trilogy."

Charlie piped up. "Why can't you tell us?"

"Because if I told you, you would know what it was about."

"Well you said the Burned series. It obviously involves a lot of burning." Charlie reasoned.

"Surprisingly, Little-Miss-Know-It-All, it doesn't. One fire and that's it."

Then Darwin asked, "Then why is it called the Burned Series?"

"It's because of the main character's condition and the rest of the info is confidential."

"But…." Darwin started.

"Enough with the questions!" Eden yelled. "Stop. Asking. About. My. Books. You do and you die."

"Really…" Darwin was testing her temper and Eden walked over and punched him before he could finish. He shouted in surprise and pain and Eden grabbed her notebook and pencil and ran out to the trees. Allie and the other students crowded around the door to see Eden, flipping around one handed through the trees and running on the branches that linked the trees together.

Allie A saw a piece of paper on Eden's desk and picked it up. It had multiple lines with numbers assigned to each one. It read:

OtA: ZttSA

Alpha and Omega are not only social determining traits. They are the differences between wanting attention and being content with anonymity. The true Omegas are Betas, since the Betas crave fame and are unable to become Alphas.

Alpha is all about image and using your resources to keep one step ahead of the race.

Alphas and Omegas aren't that different. Omegas are just smarter to know that being seen isn't always a good thing.

Alphas are called the best of the best but they are really just the Omegas that decided that they wanted to be praised.

Alphas are just that. Alpha. Be one or fall behind. However, sometimes Omega can be a better choice…

Alphas are very territorial. Mess with any part of their territory; be prepared to be under attack.

Alphas don't take orders

Alphas have their own code which everyone knows but Omegas have a variety of codes.

Alphas live off of praise, attention and recognition. Alphas will not survive without these elements. Omegas that are smart enough know how to survive without being seen or heard. This is how they live every day.

Alphas make their own rules

Alphas most known traits are: ideals of superiority, stubbornness, back stabbing, cheating, lying, deceiving, beauty and lack of trust.

Alphas never back down

Alphas think they know everything and this is a trait they refuse to think is any different. The secret for an Omega to be a convincing Alpha is that the Omega has to know what is happening on every social alphabet letter. Don't and they will know that you are a fake.

Don't mess with an Omega if you are an Alpha. Alphas may have the upper hand but Omegas have fewer enemies. Omegas will use those enemies against Alpha social trait carriers to bring Alphas to their knees.

Tides will always turn. An Alpha now may turn into an Omega later and vice versa.

Allie was curious as to how Eden came up with these rules. She placed it face down on Eden's desk and walked back to her own desk, pretending it had never happened. But it was impossible for her not to think about it. Almost everything that Eden had written was true about Alphas. But Allie A had a lingering question about the other half of Eden's rules. How did Eden know so much about Omegas? The two were polar opposites and Eden obviously had to be an Alpha in order to be at the academy. And what did those letters at the top of the list mean? Her profile said she used acronyms but that just looked like gibberish. What could it mean?
