The Alpha Chose Me
Chapter 171

“Ah Miss Wilson I did have stuff for you to do but Rocco here has already finished it".

Thank you Rocco. Hopefully that meant I could go home.

“Did he?" I grinned. “Is there-.."

“Mr Jackson don't you have a home to go to?". Mr Gallagher interrupted.

“Just helping the ladies out”. Rocco smirked.

“This is Leah's detention not yours. Go home Rocco, now’. It was then that I noticed he was carrying two cups of coffees. “Aye sir I'm leaving. See you later beautiful”. He squeezed my shoulder before leaving.

“Bye Rocco”.

“Miss Young have you got anything for Miss Wilson to do?”.

“Not anymore”. She smiled. “And now I can clock off early. You could send Leah back tomorrow, I'm sure Ill find something for her”. She winked at me.

She grabbed her coat off the back of the chair and left.

“Guessing that coffee was for Miss Young sir?". I nodded towards his hands.

“No Leah. He sighed passing it to me. “Well I guess it's back to my classroom so I can find you something to do’

“Or you could just let me go home". I took a sip of my coffee my eyes never leaving his.

“Absolutely not Miss Wilson. Now come on I'm sure there's something I can find for you to do”.

“Had to ask’. I shrugged picking up my bag. “Can you let me see my last paper?” I asked as we started walking back to his classroom.

“You got top marks Leah just like I knew you would".

“Can I still see it?". I wanted to see what grade he gave me.

“If you insist". He sighed unlocking his classroom. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Heading inside I dumped my bag on the ground. “Did I do the best?" I grinned.

“Don't get cocky Leah, it doesn't suit you and you still have your final exam to pass”.

“Doesn't matter I already got accepted to Yale”.

“I can take back my recommendation”. I could see the humour dancing behind his eyes.

“You wrote me a letter of recommendation, I thought you hated me".

“We've had our disagreements Leah but I don't hate you”. He handed me my paper.

“A plus”. I grinned. “Can't get any better than that”.

“No you can't’. His grin matched mine. “You'll love Yale Leah and I know you'll do really well".

“Yeah”. My smile slipped. I couldn't bring myself to tell him I wasn't taking the offer. Not now that I know he wrote me the recommendation I needed to get in.

“What's wrong?".

“Oh nothing, here". I handed him my paper back

“I call bullshit”. He took my paper from me as he walked back to his desk

“Excuse me?". I frowned.

“You're not going to Yale are you?". He asked.

“I can't”.

“Does this have anything to do with Jake Taylor?".

“No”. Okay so he didn't need to know that it had everything to do with jake.

“You're lying through your teeth Leah and you're making a huge mistake”.

If only he knew the truth.

“Don't let him decide this for you".

“He's not deciding anything for me. I've made the decision not to go. I can get my degree at the college here or I can do online classes”.

A laugh fell from his lips, a sarcastic laugh mind you. His eyebrows furrowed as he glared at me. “You're really going to let him ruin this for you?"

“He's not ruining anything Mr Gallagher”. I didn't like the tone he was using or the way he was glaring at me. This really had nothing to do with him so I had no idea why he was getting mad.

“Don't ruin your life for a f**k boy. You'll get another boyfriend Leah”.

I had no idea why he was acting like this. What I did was no concern to him. “Pretty sure you shouldn't be swearing at me and what I do is none of your business”. I had already decided I was going home. I had had enough for one day.

“Your detention isn't over yet Miss Wilson".

“I'm pretty sure we're past it". I picked up my bag and got to my feet.

“Look I'm sorry for swearing. I just think you're making the wrong decision. You're a smart girl, you could really make something of yourself”.

“Yeah I know" I sighed sitting back down. It wasn't as easy as just packing up my stuff and leaving. Jake was here which meant I had to be here.

“Then why are you giving up this opportunity?”. He moved round the front of his desk taking a seat on the edge of it. “Plenty of people would die to be in your position’.

I snorted. “I doubt that". It wasn't an easy decision to make and yes I was gutted I couldn't go but it was the right decision. I knew deep down it was the right decision.

“You got accepted on a late application Leah. Doesn't that tell you how good you are?".

“I don't have to go to Yale to prove how good I am. I can study English literature anywhere”.

“so that would have been your major”. He smiled

“Yes”.

“You can go home but all I'm asking is that you're sure you're making the right decision”.

it was the right decision in the long run. I shouldn't have even applied in the first place. I knew if I got in nothing could come of it.

“It’s not as easy as making the right decision”. I picked up my bag getting to my feet. “But I don’t want to talk about it anymore”. My head was bursting.

“I'll see you tomorrow first thing Miss Wilson’.

“Maybe”. I grinned.

His grin matched mine. “I really am sorry for swearing Leah, I just want the best for you. You're one of my best students”. “Look I get it but I have to do what's best for me. I'l see you tomorrow”. I placed my empty coffee cup in the trash on the way out.

A sigh of relief fell from my lips. Surely the way he acted wasn't normal? I get that he’s my teacher and he wants whats best for me but something about it all felt off.

His concern was a bit much.

Reaching my car I threw my bag in the back and got in. I couldn't wait to get home and into my pis. I groaned when I remember dinner with Jake.

I wonder if he would accept McDonald's drive thru?

Checking my phone I read through my messages. My gran checking in, she's having the best time and the breakaway was what she needed.

I clicked on the message Jake had sent earlier.

“Can you drop by my moms when you're finished?’

I didn’t bother texting him back. I put on my seatbelt, turned on my engine and headed straight for his moms.
