Mated to the Alpha triplets

Chapter 9 Olivia is back to school

Olivia

Ring! Ring!! Ring!!!

The sound of my alarm woke me up. I yawned and rolled over on the bed, my eyes shooting open when I saw the time on my alarm clock.

Oh my God, it’s 8:30 a.m., and I’m late for school. I cursed inwardly at the triplets as I jumped off my bed and headed to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth, had a quick shower and ran back to put on my clothes. I carried my bag and rushed down the stairs.

My parents were in the kitchen, my mom was placing plates on the table while my dad was sitting with his plate piled high in front of him.

Morning Mom, morning Dad, " I said as I breezed into the kitchen.

"Good morning, sweetheart," my mom replied, planting a kiss on my forehead. My dad gave me a warm smile as he chewed a mouthful of pancakes.

"Good morning, Olivia, how was your night?" he said, his mouth half full. I chuckled at his morning enthusiasm, knowing he was always a bit more cheerful after a good breakfast.

As I quickly grabbed a granola bar from the pantry and a banana from the fruit bowl, my dad looked at me with a teasing grin.

"Honey, aren't you going to join us for breakfast?" he asked, his eyes twinkling.

I sighed, "I wish I could, Dad, but I'm running late. Maybe tomorrow."

My mom handed me a packed lunch and patted my back. "Don't forget to eat this during lunch, dear. We don't want you going hungry." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Thanks, Mom," I replied, grabbing my backpack and giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

Just then my phone rang, it was Josh calling

"Josh's here. Gotta go, bye!” I yelled as I ran out.

“Say hello to Josh for me!" My mum called out as I left the house.

Josh was waiting at the end of the driveway.

“Good morning, Josh,” I said as I approached him and we began walking to school together.

“Hey, Olivia. How are you doing?” He replied.

“Fine, you are late today.”

“Yeah, I had to help my dad out with something and it took longer than we expected.”

I nodded and we fell silent.

“You look a bit tired. Is everything okay?” He asked, breaking the silence a few minutes later.

“I’m good,” I replied curtly, as I thought about everything that happened the last couple of days.

He raised an eyebrow, giving me a look that I knew meant he didn't buy what I was saying.

As he opened his mouth to speak, I cut in and promised to tell him everything that had happened over the weekend, but we had to walk faster as we were already late.

After a couple of minutes, we were at the school entrance and the last person I wanted to see at that moment was standing in front of the school doors, seemingly waiting for someone. She started walking towards us when she saw me, a suspicious bright smile on her face.

“Olivia, good morning darling,” Helen said sweetly.

Before I could reply to her, she turned to Josh. “Hey Josh, good morning. It’s been a while.”

It was obvious Josh also felt uncomfortable with her presence but he still managed to reply to her.

“Good morning, Helen. Please, Helen, you don't have to pretend. It's not necessary, just treat me the way you always do.” I said and walked off before she could respond.

I was satisfied with the look she had on her face but I didn’t care. Josh ran after me and we both tried to enter the school building.

We couldn't as a barrage of students came rushing at us. Josh pulled me aside and we watched with open mouths as they all rushed over to a car that had just pulled into the parking lot.

“It’s the triplets.” One of the ladies screamed.

I knew it was only those three devils that could have caused such an uproar.

Why show off when we all know you are rich?

I tossed my hair over my shoulder and headed into the building.

“Hey, maid Olivia!” Lucas called out.

The cries came to a stop when everyone heard this. Josh was shocked to hear that as well. I pretended not to hear him and continued walking until Helen’s words made me grind to a halt.

"Lucas. I know she's a maid at the palace, but we're at school. You shouldn't call her that.” She said innocently.

I knew she did that on purpose, she wanted the whole school to know about me being a maid at the palace.

I turned on my heel and walked back to them, feeling courageous. I looked at Helen and the others, my gaze finally settling on Lucas.

“Yes, I’m a maid at the palace. But don’t expect me to be your maid here in school.” I yelled out angrily.

“You do know there are a lot of people here who are willing to do as I command. So you should be grateful you are in the position to serve us,” Logan added.

I scoffed at him and remained firm with my words.

“I can’t be your maid here in school, and I don't care if anyone else is willing to. Not my business.”

I rushed back to the classroom angrily with my tears welling in my eyes.

I hate all this, I hate crying. This is another opportunity for students to bully me more. I don’t think I can cope with the situation.

“I know you as a brave young girl, Olive. We have been bullied the whole time and we both went through it together. You know you have me to lean on just as you are the one I have to lean on.” Josh said while patting my back.

“Josh, the… thing…” I tried to speak through my tears.

He silenced me by placing his finger on my lips.

“Now I understand what really happened over the weekend. You don’t have to tell me anything if you don't want to. Just know that I'm always here for you.”

I shot him a grateful look and hugged him for his understanding.

Josh took his seat beside me and other students came into the classroom, all giving me dirty looks as they took their seats.

“You don’t have to worry about them, Olivia. Just ignore them.” Josh said with a smile.

I smiled at him and just then a girl approached me.

With a smirk, “Hey, Olive. I know you don’t know me. Anyways, I’m Tina. My father is one of the Alpha’s advisors and…”

My growing temper got the best of me and I cut in with a bang on my table. “Hey lady, I don’t know you and I don’t want to. If you have something reasonable to say, then you can go ahead. If not, just buzz off, I don't want to hear it.”

“Ugly bitch! Who do you think you are?! You're just an omega and you should be thankful that I even deigned to talk to you. Anyways, when do you get off work at the palace? I don’t mind paying you a few bucks to help clean my house too.” She said and burst out laughing at her own words.

The whole class joined in as well, all pointing their fingers at my expression.

Just then the triplets and Helen walked in.

“She leaves the palace by 5:00p.m,” Logan yelled out.

This intensified their laughter and all I could do was to look down at my table like a coward with my fists clenched.

Josh looked at me with an assuring smile and I could only smile back faintly.

The class fell silent when the teacher came in. We all greeted him in unison.

“You'll all be giving group presentations next week based on our last topic and I have done the grouping. I will paste it out for you guys to see and you have to put in your best to earn enough points.” The teacher said, smiling devilishly.

Everyone grumbled because we all knew that he wouldn't pair us with our friends. I could only hope to be in the same group with Josh.

As soon as the teacher left the class, everyone stood up to check the list. Everyone was clamoring to get a look, and I hung back not wanting to get stepped on.

Suddenly Tina screamed in disgust while pointing at me, “That ugly thing is in the same group with triplets.”

Everyone's gaze fell on me. I couldn’t believe her, I had to push my way to the front to check it out.

It’s true. To make it even worse, Helen was in the group too.

Is this a setup or what? What's happening?

I staggered back to my seat with teary eyes only to see the triplets standing there.

The expressions on their faces gave me chills. I tried to leave the class but I was stopped by Lucien.

“We're in the same group and we need to discuss our topic. Let's meet at the rooftop during lunch.” He said.

Oh, moon goddess. Why me?
