chp 2
Zen followed Navin back inside, the noise and chatter instantly washing over him again.
He was still distracted, mind running circles about the omega he’d just seen.
Navin Avery (A)
Can you at least look like you’re having fun? People are going to think the love guru’s lost his touch.
Zen Sutton (DA)
I’m fine. Just… thinking.
They were halfway through the corridor when someone brushed past him. Zen blinked.
An omega, balancing a stack of chairs almost taller than him, walked quickly in the opposite direction, clearly in a hurry.
Zen reached out and stopped him by lightly catching his arm.
The boy stumbled to a stop, lowering the chairs slightly to glare at him.
Zen quickly pulled out his phone, unlocking it and holding up the blurry picture he’d snapped earlier.
Zen Sutton (DA)
Do you know this person?
The omega blinked at the screen, then at Zen like he’d just asked the dumbest question in the world.
Rae Bennett (O)
No. (flatly) Now get tf out of my way, I’m busy.
Zen was taken aback by the sharp tone.
Zen Sutton (DA)
You don’t have to bite my head off. I’m just asking a question.
The omega gave him a look—eyebrows raised, eyes narrowed.
Rae Bennett (O)
Congratulations. You just wasted thirty seconds of my life.
And with that, he shifted the stack of chairs and walked off without another word.
Zen stood there, completely thrown.
Zen Sutton (DA)
What the hell...
He muttered, watching the omega disappear into the crowd.
Navin Avery (A)
What’s with you?
Zen Sutton (DA)
That boy is rude.
Zen said, still staring in the direction the omega had gone.
Zen Sutton (DA)
Rude, with a capital R. And he’s got attitude for days.
