Percy was going to need to stay home for a full week starting Thursday. That gave Anna some time to herself. One of the alphas in her own homeroom asked her out. He was on the swim team. His name was Lester Tyker. She smiled at him. Anna did not have anything going on. "I'm just me. If you want to date the boy's you'll have to ask them. They have a mind of their own. If you just want me, we can go out and see if things work out." He smiled back at her. "Well, I only see you right now. How about it then!? I want to see where this goes. We all see how you move in the school. You are a beta female, but you strut around like an alpha Anna." She had to look at him. It felt so good to be a boy that was appreciated by girls. The boy pulled her into a hug and rubbed his face against hers while chuckling. He was happy. Anna knew that he was trying to mark her with his own scent. She did not care though. Having a fling with an alpha would be cool. He was tan skinned with black hair and red eyes. Anna thought he was attractive enough. "Come on! There's no way she'll pick you over me."
It made them look behind themselves. There was another boy standing there. Lester began to growl. "What the hell do you want!? I'm busy right now!" he snapped. Their mutual aggression was wild. The other boy just glared at him. "You heard me! There's no way it should go easy for you. I'm a better choice for her! As an alpha, I'll show you and then I will show Anna." the other boy said. The rival alpha's name was Quinn Nathan. He was also on the swim team. Anna looked at him and said "That's really nice of you. Still, I've been asked out by Lester first. I'm going to choose him unless you have a good reason why I should pick you instead." Quinn ignored her. "There is only one way to solve this once and for all. You and me. 400 meters in the pool after school. The winner takes all." he declared. Before she could say anything, Lester pointed at him. "You're on! I'm not losing to anyone!" he shouted with pure determination. Anna rolled her eyes. She did not care who won. She was going out with Lester unless he did something that pissed her off. The bell to end lunch chimed. She sighed.
Quinn came over and rubbed his body against her as well. Lester was absolutely seething at the disrespectful gesture. Anna allowed it to happen. This was the first time that 2 NPCs were actually fighting over her. She was really enjoying it. Anna had a smile on her face for the rest of the day. When school was over, she made her way down to the pool. There the pool deck where people could swim. That was connected to the locker rooms. There was also the spectator's gallery for people to watch the swimmers on the upper floor. You could access the deck from the gallery via a single staircase, but the main entrance to the gallery was on the ground floor of the school gymnasium. Everyone was in their school clothes. As both of them were members on the swim team, they each had a locker reserved for them to stash their swimwear and other gear. Both Lester and Quinn escorted her to the gallery before going down the stairwell to the deck. She had to wait 10 minutes for them to get ready. They had washed and changed for their event. They looked up to see her. Anna waved at them.
