My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 51: Towards the end

With things getting resolved one by one Caleb was starting to feel much better. Things were going pretty well with him except when his parents got mad at him for screwing things up with Karolyn. He was beyond relieved when he recieved the knews of Karolyn rejecting the proposal until they said they will find someone else for him by his graduation.

Matt who recently discovered that his best friend was an omega didn’t spare any mercy on Caleb. He bothered the guy for a lot of details, like how is he different from female omegas? Or how does he avoided getting detected during his heat and all that. Frustrated, Caleb punched him in his head one day which shut up Matt for good.

The semifinals for the match took place after a week as it had to be postponed due to abrupt suspension of schools, in which they won. One more match to go and then they could win the tournament this year. Both Matt and Caleb were excited as never did they ever come this close to winning the trophy.

The year was approaching its end too, and most of the seniors were busy with their upcoming SATs. Due to that the game was shifted a few weeks later close to graduation. Not that Caleb really cared about his scores but he was expected to take the test just in case so he decided to give it his best shot. After all this was the closest thing he would do that involves college, even distantly.

With a busy schedule like that Caleb and Ashton hardly got any time to interact except from when he went by the cafeteria to get some coffee and stuff. Caleb didn’t dare bring up any issues he had earlier. He tried his best to not get attached to the kid, but somehow he still ended up enjoying their time together. He loved how easy it was to tease Ashton.

But despite all the tensions, the school wasn’t entirely out of cheer. The juniors, who were responsible for this years prom were pretty excited. The past couple of weeks have been a busy one for everyone, and thus had little to no time for leisure activities.

“Hey, are you going to the prom”? One of Ashton’s classmate asked him, out of the blue after the end of Bio class. Ashton looked at him suspiciously for a moment before asking him, “Who are you”? Not that he doesn’t recognize the other’s face, but he never bothered talking to the other.

“Wow” that boy scoffed as he was clearly offended. Ashton could tell that the boy wasn’t a wolf so he didn’t pay much heed to the boy’s disappointment. “I sit next to you in Bio everyday” he tried to explain.

“I know that, but who are you”? Ashton asked again, annoyed. This is one of the reasons he did not like having much friends. People near him can be irritating from time to time.

.....

“I am Henry, we are even teammates in soccer club”. He rolled his eyes. Ashton nodded before he said, “I see”.

“So”? Henry raised his eyebrows.

“So, what”? Ashton looked at him skeptically.

“You have a date to the prom”? He asked.

“I am not going”. Ashton answered flatly.

“Why? This is like the most anticipated event of the year, you should definitely go”! Henry insisted.

Ashton stared at him skeptically before asking, “and why do you care so much”?

“Cause…” Henry sighed. “This senior agreed to go with me, but she insisted I get a date for her friend too”. Henry admitted reluctantly.

“Why on earth would I be interested”? Ashton retorted.

“Well, I really want to go. You already know that sophomores can’t go unless they are dates of either a junior or a senior” Henry sighed. “Please, do this for me” he begged.

“Don’t you have other friends? Quit bothering me”. Ashton snapped at him and left the class. Once he was out of the room he could hear Henry whisper, “A*****e”.

Ashton scoffed at that as he thought how ridiculous that out of the blue request was. He wouldn’t even go to his own prom the next two years there was no way he would go to the one which wasn’t even for his year.

Not that he had anything against prom, but going to it was a waste of time. He had a evening part time job that he needed to attend, plus the whole point of going to the prom was to socialize and ‘have fun’ which was clearly not fun for him.

On his way to the next class he passed by a bunch of girls whispering, “Should I ask him”?

“Do you think he will agree”?

“Maybe, I shouldn’t. It seems like a bad idea”. He hated how crazy these people got about a silly thing as prom.

He went back to the library to spend his lunchtime there as usual when he saw Beth there. She is the only other werewolf omega he interacted with other than Caleb due to them sharing the same job. He saw her talking with that beta wolf who was the Vice President of the music club he was in.

He didn’t mean to eavesdrop when he heard George say, “They will shut down our group since we barely have any members”.

That caught his attention because even he realized how rarely we went there. Sure he loved to play the piano but he barely did that ever since he arrived here. He tried better to listen carefully to hear further discussion.

“What about prom then? Weren’t you guys supposed to play”? Beth asked her brother.

“We might still, but officially our club will be closed. On top of that I need a new vocal cause Ryan developed Mono this weekend” George huffed in annoyance. Ashton didn’t go to the last meeting so he had no idea about their plans so he paid more attention to that than the book that was kept open in front of him.

“So, no song then, just plain music”? Beth asked inquisitively.

“Yeah, I mean… music too is good enough to dance I guess” George replied in a low voice.

“What’s the matter then? You seem a lot upset”. His sister pestered him.

“I don’t know, I was hoping if the Principal saw our performance there he might agree to let us keep the club. I wanted to impress him enough, that’s all. However that seems like a far fetched idea”. George mumbled.

While Ashton didn’t care much about all these administrative issues he did worry about his grades. The last time he had a hard time finding clubs, and now if this one is dissolved he would need to either find another one or make do with just one club. He was pretty sure that it would not be a great college application.

After the classes they had a meet for the music club for the practice when Ashton showed up for the third time ever since he joined the club. Most of the members, which was not a lot given just five members, did not like how irresponsible he was. They would love to kick him out if they were not in dire need for higher amounts of memberships for their club.

Ashton contemplated whether or not he should join the team for the prom. Sure he wasn’t looking forward to dancing, but signing won’t be so bad. “Do you mind if I join”? He asked reluctantly after a lot of hesitation.

While most of them looked annoyed, George gazed at him curiously. “Can you sing”? He asked him. Ashton blinked before he nodded.

“Show us then what you got”? One of the members who was apparently human challenged him.

“Can I have a go at Piano”? He asked. George nodded after which Ashton took his seat and started playing. The rhythm itself was mesmerizing enough which was beautified further by his deep soothing voice. By the time he was done everyone just stared at him in awe. It was like they discovered a gem just by simply walking down the street.

“You are in” George declared with a smirk. Ashton was pleased with himself until George continued his statement. “But…”
