Marie arrived to class, being escorted by Lee there before leaving for hers. She entered with little noise as possible and went to sit in the back. There she took out a piece of chewing gum and not caring about anything she put it in her mouth, chewing shamelessly until the teacher arrived. Her class was the exceptional class α, where there are only alphas with good grades and a record free of absences, of course betas and omegas can also attend, but they had to meet the requirement of outstanding grades.

This was what they called advanced classes. She might as well take normal classes, but God had mercy if her father allowed it. He put more pressure on her academically than on her sisters, and made her think it was her way of making up for being an Omega. She supposed she was lucky to be a girl if she was one, if she were a male Omega she would have it much worse.

She observed her classmates who were already there and those who were entering and occupying empty places. The funny thing is that despite being a special class for individuals as prodigious as the Alphas, there are only about 4 of them, highlighting the basketball star, Kevin Graells. Marie wouldn't say it to his face, but she hated him for being a show-off, and a hot-head. He lived in the same neighborhood as her and her sisters as well as the rest of teens who always surrounded him, and he used to flirt with May very often, of course that was before she started dating Ed, now he thought twice before doing so knowing full well the unnatural strength of the big guy.

She looked towards the door and there entered another member of the happy neighborhood. Eddward, or as everyone called him to avoid confusion; Double Dee, a fairly quiet Beta who was always in charge of resolving conflicts using dialogue. It was obvious that he would also be there; he was one of the brightest students in the school, surpassing many alphas by far. He was going around handing out additional data and knowledge, enchanting the teachers, but Marie saw something strange about him. At the beginning of the year, he would sit at one of the front desks, serving as the teacher's pet, but now that changed and he would not comply with any of those things, sitting at a desk parallel to her direction, never next to her but in her same row, and something she noticed is that he usually sent her discreet glances that made her uncomfortable to the point of shrinking in her seat every time she felt his eyes on her.

The teacher walked in, starting class instantly. Biology and Anatomy were subjects that should be focused a lot, as well as History and Math. They were unavoidable general subjects to better understand the world they live in, and later came the specific ones that serve as a bridge of knowledge for future university careers.

Marie would be quiet most of the time, only offering an answer to a question only if she was chosen. It's not like she didn't know the answers, because she did, there was no point in being in advanced classes representing her family's pride if she was dumb, but she didn't consider herself a brainiac either. It just happens that her teacher was a very strict Alpha, and he was scary.

Four hours passed quickly. And lunch was approaching.

"You must read this book and make a summary as the final work of the semester. I want you to do it detailed as much as you can; it is possible to seek additional information from other sources for support. It will equal 70% of your final grade."

The teacher distributed the books to each one, leaving them on their desks. Marie looked down to see the cover, 'Physiology of Breeds'. She arched her eyebrows, looking up to question something, but saw Edd looking back at her. This time he did not look away so quickly, but grinned before doing so.

She felt a flutter in her stomach plus the same dizziness from earlier. She held her head, rubbing her temples to shake it off, when the lunch bell seemed to ring. She quickly grabbed her things and left without looking back. She went outside straight to the school yard, where she knew she would meet her sisters, and they were indeed there.

The yard had some stone tables and seats for students who wanted to get some fresh air. There were only a few currently since it was autumn and it was cool outside, but that never bothered the sisters. Marie wrapped her jacket around her, sat down, and laid her head on the table with a groan.

"What's wrong with you?" May asked, taking a bite of her slice of pizza.

"Tired," she answered simply.

"Where the hell is your lunch?" Lee pressed.

"I forgot it."

The redhead took her by the hair, lifting her head enough to get a good look at her face.

"You look down. We can't have that," she commented, pushing her tray toward her. "Here, eat this." She offered her food, letting go of her hair and standing up. "I'm going for a snack from the vending machine."

The bluenette suddenly got a voracious appetite as she saw the burger and fries in front of her, grabbing the food and starting to taste it. She didn't take a moment to chew well, swallowing all she could.

"Hey, easy there, you're going to choke," said her blonde sister.

Surprisingly this didn't happen for a long while, finishing everything on the tray and burping after sipping the drink.

Lee returned, looking in disbelief at how she had eaten all of her lunch in such a short time.

"I think I was just hungry," she said, smiling, already satisfied.

"I see," the redhead commented with a hint of sarcasm. She unwrapped the chocolate bar she had brought instead and took a bite.

Marie had laid her head back on the table, this time out of boredom.

"Aren't you supposed to be with your boyfriend?" She asked May.

The younger sister smiled. "I'm going out with Big Ed after school; I'm saving all my love for then."

"He's an airhead, I don't know what you see in him," Lee spoke.

"Oh, excuse me, mind telling me who are the ones still single here?" She said haughtily.

The older girl frowned, grabbing her younger sister's shirt collar and pulling her to her face.

"You won't speak to me like that." She growled.

May raised her eyebrows, somewhat concerned about her outburst but smiled when she heard a whine coming from Marie.

"Goddamn it, don't do that," Her sisters looked at her when she raised her head with an irritated expression. "You know it doesn't work on her."

"It does if she's really upset, it's a different story. Now she does it just to fuck around, isn't that right, Lee?" The redhead released her, grumbling something about not receiving the respect she deserves. "Getting back on topic, seriously, why haven't you found someone?" May asked.

"Because I have more important things in mind than dating," Lee snapped. "Like inheriting dad's position, or something more."

"More?" Questioned her sisters.

"Think bigger, girls. And being just the mayor of a small town is not what I aspire to. Maybe president." She smiled, biting her chocolate.

Marie smiled wryly, crossing her arms. "You dream big, you remember that you can fall; this is diplomacy, after all."

The older sister shrugged, saying nothing more.

"What about you, Marie? I mean, they'll have to know someday." May said.

The bluenette knew exactly what she meant. She propped an elbow on the table and used her hand to support her head, staring at no specific spot on the yard.

"Someday," she repeated. "No one here is worthy, and I'd like to keep it a secret until I get out of here."

The blonde didn't press with anything else, but couldn't help but notice that the redhead was questioning her with covered eyes.

After lunch came her favorite part of the day: Art Class.

Marie smiled happily as she walked through the doorframe, greeted her teacher, and headed straight for the canvas that awaited her. The art room was her sanctuary, here she could clear her mind of anything that tormented her, especially that sudden fatigue she had. Yes, painting would make her completely forget what was bothering her at the time.

5 minutes.

Everything was going well; she started with her favorite color: blue. This painting would be so beautiful that it will be with the others in the framework of the school.

10 minutes.

She was still good; she formed the sky by interspersing colors to simulate a sunset. She would definitely ignore the sweat on her forehead.

After half an hour, her process had slowed down. Now she was breathing with her mouth open, feeling that she needed more air than usual. She knew what it meant, that and everything else. Her damn heat period. 'God, take me away.' Shit, why now? It couldn't wait for her to be safe in the comfort of her home? She took a large gulp of water from the bottle she had bothered to get at lunch. The suppressors in her backpack would be of no use. She looked at her watch; she only had to hold out for the next hour and a half.

'No problem.Stay calm.You're okay, you're okay, you're okay...'

"Marie?"

She heard the voice of her favorite teacher beside her, puzzling her. She slowly turned to him.

"Are you alright? You look like you've run a marathon" he commented.

By ethics, all members of the school staff should be aware of the sub-gender of students in case of an emergency, to avoid problems. She knew she could count on the friendly Mr. Hans; he was a Beta who greatly admired her for her talent. But then she heard whispers that made her glance at her other classmates. No one on the student field knew about her subgenre: she attended class α, and had a strong temper, she could be an Alpha, but alphas were not artists; that's rather an area for betas and or omegas.

The possibility that they would find out what she was and spread rumors throughout the school filled her with fear, but was overshadowed by a strong heat and pain in her abdomen, which made her gasp.

"Marie?" The teacher asked again.

She grabbed her things and ran out of there, without hearing the calls telling her to come back or asking for explanations. She didn't stop for anything in the world, she ran until she reached the place where she was sure no one would find her: the screening room above the auditorium.

She closed the door behind her and leaned against it, panting heavily and feeling an overwhelming heat throughout her body, along with aching muscles. She shuffled over to a shelf and dropped to the side. She flexed her knees against her chest. Shit, not only was her heart pounding, but she could feel the area between her legs throbbing, and excruciating discomfort was brewing in her lower abdomen.

She had the urge to move her hips. She rubbed her legs together, pulling them apart instantly when she felt a shudder as she did so and a liquid wetting her underwear. It had felt very good.

She bit her lip, deciding to undo her belt and pull her cargo pants down to her knees, along with her panties. She glanced at these and noticed the smudge of her arousal in the middle. She rubbed her thighs together again, sighing at the pleasure it brought her, but she needed more. She thought of touching herself, but then she looked at her hands; her nails were long, she didn't want to hurt herself by mistake, although she threw danger out the proverbial window and brushed her lips with her fingertips, being able to feel the amount of lubrication her sex was producing. She chose not to go deep into her being and just skirt the small mound that throbbed so much, the sensation sent a shudder through her body, moving faster.

But it wasn't enough. Her body wanted more. Tears of frustration began to flow in her eyes, feeling useless in being able to satisfy her own heat and cursing her existence for having turned out Omega.

She was so engrossed in her work and hating herself that she didn't hear the door open until someone spoke.

"Oh my!"

She opened her eyes and turned to the source of the voice, finding Edd standing there, staring at her in amazement.
