The car pulled up in front of the Kirkland-Bonnefoy residence twenty minutes later. Arthur helped his daughter out of the car, leaving the rest of his family to fend for themselves in the dark. It was cruel somewhat but got the desired reaction from the Haitian.
"Is Alfred still afraid of the dark?" Aubry asked, leaning against the wall of the house while Arthur unlocked the door.
"Yes. Why else would I leave him outside at night?" Came the response, as Alfred started to panic.
"He's going to be pretty mad when he finds out you did this on purpose." Aubry remarked, following Arthur into the house.
"He won't. I'll make sure he doesn't find out." The two laughed, watching the rest of the family attempt to bring the hysterical American inside.
================================= Four Month Later=====================================
"Yo Matthias! Gilbert! Wasup?!" Alfred and Aubry were walking to school when Alfred caught sight of his friends. He yelled from across the school yard, causing every student, both Alpha and Omega, to glare profusely at him.
"Alfie… People are staring…" Aubry whimpered, hiding behind her brother. She had always been the quiet, shy type and still despised being the center of attention. She was the definition of the perfect Omega.
"Shh… They'll look away soon enough. If they don't, I'll protect you. It's a hero's job to protect the ones they love." Alfred reassured her, shooting some of the staring Alphas a malicious glare. They all dropped their gazes, one by one, until no Alpha was left with their eyes on the shy Haitian. All except Matthias and Gilbert.
"Daaaannng. So this is the famous Aubry Maria Sanchez. Not bad, not bad at all." Matthias whistled, looking her up and down appreciatively. Alfred fought back a possessive growl while Aubry looked as if she wished she could have the ground swallow her up.
"Ease up Matthias, this is her first time around Alphas since her accident." Gilbert slapped his arm lightly. Aubry blinked gratefully at Gilbert, siding closer to her brother at the same time. "She isn't used to being exposed to this much awesomeness at once." Gilbert finished, smirking cockily.
"You sure it's awesomeness?" Lilli asked, coming over to the group. "Cause it looks like stupidity to me." Gilbert swallowed, unused to being insulted in such a way.
"Lilli… oh… hi Gil, Matthias… Alfred…" Matthew followed closely behind the short Omega, trying to make sure nothing bad happened. Gilbert's eyes lit up as soon as the Canadian spoke up.
"Birdie! How've you been?!" Gilbert practically tackled the blonde Omega in a hug. Lilli smirked and made kissing noises behind the albino's back.
"Lilli, stop. Would you want Matthew to do that to you around the Alpha you like?" Matthias finally spoke up, smirking at Lilli the whole time. Lilli gulped and dashed away, yelling a quick "sorry" to Matthew and Gilbert. Aubry continued to try to hide behind Alfred but failed miserably when she was noticed by a certain Canadian.
"Aubry? You okay? Are…" Matthew started to ask but quickly amended his error, realizing that none of their present company would like what he was about to ask. "Ces idiots vous gênent?" Aubry flashed a ghost of a smile at her brother, nodding her head slowly.
"Oui, c'est une merveille, que je n'ai pas encore perdu toutes mes cellules de cerveau." Alfred stared at his siblings in confusion.
"Bro what did you just ask her?! And what did she even say?!" Both Omega's simply shook their heads and walked off to join their respective groups of friends. "I have got to learn French one of these days…" Alfred muttered while his friends burst out laughing at his confusion.
============================== (With Aubry and her friends, Homeroom) ====================
"Welcome back Aubry!" A small knot of girls called out as Aubry took her seat in homeroom.
"Merci girls… It's good to be back." Aubry replied softly, taking her seat next to a brunette Hungarian.
"So what's it like to be on the market for an Alpha again?" The Hungarian asked, pulling out a pen as if to take notes.
"Eliza…" Aubry groaned, letting her head fall down onto the desk. "That's not what I want to talk about…"
"Fine…." The disappointed Beta sighed, putting away her notebook. "So what did you want to talk about? The school work you missed?" Aubry shook her head.
"Non, I wanted to ask why Lilli is acting different." The Hungarian brunette seemed to tense up at the mention of her old friend.
"Lilli has a crush on Matthias…" Elizabeta admitted, toying with her hair a bit. "She's trying to prove she's as 'awesome' as he is and unfortunately that means abandoning all of her friends except the ones Matthias has met." Aubry still looked confused.
"So that means…" The Haitian started to say.
"Everyone except Matthew." Elizabeta finished, accenting it with a flick of her hair. "So the guys and I have been dealing with this for about four months. You're the last one to find out." Aubry winced.
"It's not my fault I was still trying to recover… I never asked to miss eight months of my life…." Aubry whispered, feeling tears prick her eyes. "I never asked for this to happen… and now I'm told that my best friend since I moved here is abandoning me... C'est tout simplement genial…." Eliza put her hand on her friend's shoulder.
"I know… but sometimes stuff like this is inevitable. We'll just have to deal with it. Who knows, maybe Lilli will come to her senses when she realize that the idiot she likes will never feel the same." Suddenly the teacher spoke up, interrupting the touching moment between the best friends.
"Class, today I have two announcements to share with you. One is that today we can welcome back Ms. Aubry Sanchez." Aubry shrunk down in her seat as every pair of eyes in the room came to rest on her. "The second is that we have a new student. Please welcome Lukas." A blonde haired Alpha stood in the doorway, eyes scanning over the students as if assessing their worth. His blue eyes were dark and had a bit of an intimidating air to them.
"Where's he from?" Eliza called out, nudging Aubry with her elbow. The teacher faked a smile.
"Why don't you ask him yourself?" She said, pointing to the empty seat on Eliza's right. "He'll be sitting next to you all year so you two will have plenty of time to talk." Lukas rolled his eyes but sat down next to the Hungarian Beta.
"Hallo. Hvem kan dere være?" Lukas asked, faintly smiling at the two girls. Eliza turned to Aubry and tried to control her fangirling.
"Savner? Er du OK?" Eliza turned back and nodded at Lukas.
"Me? I'm fine. So where are you from?" Aubry mentally face-palmed. Any genius who could understand what he had said could deduct where he was from by the language name.
"Jeg er fra Norge. Er det ikke åpenbart språk jeg snakker?" Eliza grinned embarrassedly.
"R-right. I-I knew that." Lukas smirked, but it wasn't cocky like Matthias or Gilbert.
"So where are you two from?" Aubry paled.
"U-us? You noticed I existed?" Lukas stared at her, eyebrows quirked questioningly.
"Of course he did! I told you that you were noticeable!" Eliza told her friend, sounding pleased with herself.
"She is noticeable. Too noticeable…" He added under his breath. Eliza heard and glared at Lukas. Aubry, though, was oblivious and continued to sketch in her notebook.
"So Lukas, do you want to sit with us at lunch today?" Elizabeta asked, much to the dismay of Aubry.
"W-wait what?!" Aubry and Eliza had a silent battle of wills, and as usual, Eliza won.
"Sure. See you two then I guess." Lukas waved and then walked off to his next class.
"Bye Lukas~!" Eliza called, dragging Aubry to their next class as well. As they entered to science lab, Aubry sighed to herself.
'Mon dieu… What have I gotten myself into? I know Eliza is planning something… But what?!'
