I turned to look back at the white faced Nina and the screeching pack of girls around her. She was trying to battle back, but you could tell she had lost steam. Suddenly, there was a loud beep that went through the air. Everyone froze, and I turned back to Wendy and she mouthed the world, ‘Announcements‘. I just nodded and turned back to the line to wait my turn to pay.
“Good evening students.” Alpha Vince’s voice came over the speakers, and I had to stop my eyes from rolling. “It has come to my attention that there are a lot of students claiming that they were the ones that donated the money to the student body. I wanted to clear up some facts, so that there were no more infighting.” I turned wide eyes to Wendy, and she winced.
“He wouldn’t.” I whispered, but knowing him, he would. He would one hundred percent claim the donation for Brandon or himself.
“Let me be very clear about this. The person who donated the money wanted to stay anonymous. And anyone that has made the claim that they gave the money lied. We expect all our students to uphold themselves honorably. While we focus on rank here, we do not claim the achievements of others. The alpha that gave the money had specifically asked to stay unknown and I will keep my word to her. But if this continues or if I find out anyone trying to use this gift to get special treatment, I will be forced to reveal the donor.”
1 sighed. At least he was warning me. I looked at Wendy and she looked relieved. I smiled at her and she smiled back, giving me a thumbs up. “That’s good, right?” She whispered, and I nodded. Hopefully, people will stop trying to use this to their own advantage.
“If there is anyone trying to claim the donation, please come to me, and I will handle the issue personally. Thank you and have a good rest of your day.” Vince’s voice disappeared and Wendy turned back to me.
“Thank you again, Alpha Amy.”
“It’s just Amy, Wendy.” She pulled her phone out of her pocket as it rang
“Mom, yes, I found her. Yes, I thanked her. No…” She looked to me and asked. “You’re not mad, are you?”
“No.” I laughed. I pulled the phone out of her hand. “Mrs. Sandlewood. Hi, it’s Amy.”
“Oh, hello dear. I know you wanted to stay anonymous, but Wendy helped me get the cards ready.” I could hear a soft sigh. “She wanted to thank you personally.”
“Why didn’t you tell me that your daughter was one of the students getting the money?”
Mrs. Sandlewood sighed again. “To be honest with you, I was embarrassed. I wasn’t able to give her everything she needs.”
“Mrs. Sandlewood, there is nothing to be embarrassed about. You should be paid enough that tour daughter shouldn’t have needed the money. Or the food plan should be included with tuition like it used to be. There is no shame in needing a little extra support, and I am in the position to help.” 1
“Thank you dear. I truly mean it.”
“There are no thanks needed. I would have given Wendy a little more if I had known.”
“That isn’t necessary.” She chuckled. “We are just so thankful as is.”
“Well, I hope you have a good night, Mrs. Sandlewood.”
ד
“You too dear.” She hung up the phone, but I dialed a number before I gave it back to Wendy.
“What’s this number too?”

I remembered the story my mom told me after we left the school. The one where Mrs. Sandlewood stood up for my father and talked to the dean at the time in letting him stay after all the drama with Vince. “Your mom stood up for my dad when he was in rouble. Helping you is kind of like a repayment.
“But you don’t have to.” Wendy tried to refuse.
“I know. It’s not that I have to, it’s that I want to.” I smiled at her. “Everyone can use a friend, can’t they?”
Wendy froze. “You want to be my friend?”
I laughed. “Why is that such a surprise?”
“I’m unranked.”
“And why does that matter?” I poked her rib. “Ranks don’t matter to me. Only people.” I heard Nina scoff, and I turned back to the group of girls that had grown quiet. “What?”
“Alpha Vince said that anyone that had claimed they gave the money was lying.” Nina stepped closer. “That includes you.”
“I never claimed I gave the money. Wendy said that I did.” just looked at her with a bored expression. “If you are having such a hard time with this, go talk to Alpha Vince. Now, I would really like to pay for my food and be on my way.” I pushed past the group and paid for my things before leaving.
