Evan whirls around the room, using his nose to direct him to the door that connected with a bathroom, Evan approached carefully, noting there was a lack of light under the door, and knocked. All he got was a waring growl, which he answered with a decided trill before he let himself fall against the door into a sitting position on the floor.

He could feel Connor on the other side, could feel his weight on the wood against him, and heard his breath catching sadly.

Evan doesn't know what to say, can't even find out what state the alpha is in, and has to go on how his breath sounds through the wood. Evan needs him to open the door, but that's not happening until Connor calms down, the alpha won't allow it; so Evan tilts his head back, pressing it against the door, closes his eyes and turns to nature.

It is a dangerous thing to do, using scent to coax someone into feeling something, it can and will often backfire on you; but Evan doesn't know what else to do. He hears a soft thud behind him, and the scent of chocolate covered coffee beans joins his grass dew and pine needles.

Relief is a good way to call the array of emotions Evan feels when that happens, especially when he hears shifting on the other side after a few beats and the bathroom door opens; he rises to his feet and moves before he can overthink it. Connor's breath hitches, but he still curls himself around Evan, practically clinging to him, not that the omega minds.

It's nice, being this close, Evan feels Connor's weight acutely, but that's fine, because like this, he can at least make sure the alpha is… ok. They are both shaking, he realizes, and decides that the hug was the right idea if only for that; that it was something they both needed.

The yearbook committee was a very beta influenced group, that was to say, it was formed by 7 people, out of which, two were omegas (Gale and Trevor), two were alphas (Lester and Irene), and the remaining three were betas (Elise, Avalon and Alexei).

Elise, Avalon and Trevor had known each other practically since they were born, and were the oldest of the group, being all seniors. Lester and Alexei were juniors, and shared most of their classes, though Alex had only fully joined that year.

Gale and Irene were the youngest, being freshmen, and actually got along pretty well with each other, something that had caused a bit of problem when Lester started circling the omega; the good thing about having three betas was that conflict was often resolved quickly and effectively.

Elise and Trevor were what one would call best friends, though Trevor cared deeply for all members of the club, some in particular; so it wasn't odd to see them hanging out outside of the committee. However, there was a little more to this particular encounter between the two.

Trevor slid his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, the temperature had been decreasing slowly over the last few months; and gave the girl an inquiring look.

"So, what did you find?"

Elise lifts the right corners of her mouth, revealing clenched teeth.

"You're not gonna like it"

How long can a secret be kept as such? What if it isn't a secret exactly? How long can you keep something from someone? There are a few things to take into account.

Connor and Evan didn't have any interest on the orchard project beyond the fact that it threatened Tera's safety; though Connor did possess some level of curiosity towards the motive behind it. He found out, via Zoe talking about the project at home, that it was mostly formed by people who considered the orchard an important place and wanted for it to go back to its glory days; so he ignored it, it was just bad timing.

But Connor and Evan weren't the only ones involved anymore. Alexei wanted to keep their sister safe, and for that they had asked the remaining members of the yearbook committee to help them investigate the people who were taking care of her as well as those around them.

"You know Jared Kleinman?"

Trevor gives her an incredulous look.

"Isn't our job to know everyone"

Elise points her finger at him threateningly.

"Don't be a smartass with me Fletcher"

Trevor raised his hands in mock defense.

"So? What about him?"

"He's the one who started the 'autumn smiles apple orchard revival' project, remember?"

"Of course, it was why Lexi decided to finally go to the orchard"

Elise smiles softly.

"This might just be me overthinking, but isn't it weird? That the project would start when it did?"

Trevor seems to pause, blink, and the he snorts, which startles the beta almost comically.

"Oh gods, Eli, you sound like something out of an anime"

The beta puts a hand in her forehead, massaging her brow.

"I'm just saying that I think he's involved, coincidences don't just pile up like that"

"Fair"

Elise shrugged.

"I also had a question"

Trevor made a humming sound at that, Elise crossed her arms.

"How come Alexei gets to know your crush but I don't"

Trevor deadpans.

"If I tell you Avalon's gonna find out and meddle, which I don't want, but I don't think I'd be able to stop once started"

Elise makes a few false starts to retorts, before finally relenting with a long sight.

"Fair"
