Ava's POV
Later on, Jake appeared, and I was quite surprised that he came in here, especially as he isn't a student.
“I know you are surprised, but we are going to take you shopping today, so we'll be waiting for you to freshen up before we go out.” Jake informed me, and I stared at both of them in surprise before I chuckled.
It was really not something I expected at all, but since it is happening, I'll just go with the flow and enjoy whatever positive vibe that comes with it.
I went to have a shower, and after that shower, we all went out of the school to shop for different things that excited me until it was evening and we went back to the school. But Jack and I went back to the dorm together.
“Oh, I'm so famished.” I said as I lay on the bed like a log of wood.
“Don’t worry. I'll make something for us to eat.” Jack offered, and I immediately sat up.
“Are you sure you don't need my help?” I asked, looking ready to help with anything.
“No, it's okay. You should have all the rest you need for now.” He said to me with a smile and walked to the kitchen.
I also smiled and fell back on the bed, feeling grateful for the kind of friend that I have. I literally don't have to worry about anything. I'm sure by now, the triplets already know that I'm staying with Jack. Can't really say how they'll feel about that, but I'm not sure it might not be good.
Jack prepared dinner, and it really blew my mind. Who would have known that he had the skills to cook such an interesting and exquisite meal? We had fun conversations over the meal and a really nice time until it was time to go to bed.

The next day, I woke up feeling exhausted and still wanted to sleep badly, so I turned to the other side of the bed and buried my head under the pillow to sleep more, but Jack suddenly raised the pillow.
“Come on, sleepyhead. It's time to get ready for school.” He voiced out, and I grumbled but didn't move at all.
Then he carried me out of the blue, and I laughed out and hit his chest.
“Why would you?” I voiced out of laughter.
“Well, that's because you need to start preparing to go to school. You usually don't sleep in until this time.”
Even I knew that I usually woke up really early to have my bath, but probably because I'm now in a place where I don't have to worry that someone was going to find out that I'm a female, and that's why my body is feeling really relaxed.
“Okay, okay, let me down. I'll go to the bathroom to get ready.” I said to him, and he let me down.
But as my feet touched the ground, I ran back to the bed, and Jack followed after me, then dragged me away from the bed again. It was really a moment of laughter for us, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud as it got to me.
We played around a little before I finally got serious and had my bath and dressed up, and then he also had his bath and dressed up.
Then we headed for school.
“There'll be a school party today. I forgot to tell you.” Jack informed me as we walked towards the classroom.
“Oh, really? That's nice. It only means more fun.” I said, feeling excited.
“You just love fun.”
“And who doesn't?” I said with a smile as we walked into the class, and we both laughed.
But then, we caught the attention of others in the class. They all turned to look at us, and it made me feel somehow uneasy. They knew that we didn't move together that much, so it was only surprising for them to see us together and being all happy and sunny.
The way they stared also showed that they were really curious. Curious enough to know if we are dating as boys. Well, it's best I ignore their expressions and curiosity, then concentrate on class today.

After classes, the school party was on, and we all moved to the hall and had fun with music and dance. Jack and I already had a lot of fun dancing and all, so we sat down to relax a little.
“So, why do you think they brought up a school party?” I asked Jack out of curiosity in case he would have an answer.
“Hmm. It's been a long time of hard work, so I guess they use this to help us relax and have fun, especially for the sake of those who don't know when to relax. They might also use this opportunity to pass any information to us.” Jack informed me, and I nodded my head.
“That's reasonable. If they're going to make any announcement, I wonder what that would be.” I spoke under my breath and looked around at other students having fun.
For some reason, I'm delighted in all that I saw with my eyes. Everything was so nice. If I recall, months back, I was in a terrible and miserable state and wouldn't know that I could actually stumble on things, people, and scenarios that could actually lighten up my heart.
“Hello everyone. Let's have our seat. I have an announcement to make.” The principal voiced out.
The students all settled, and everywhere became silent.
“So, I'm glad that you all are having a nice time, but I'd like to make an announcement that you all need to take note of. One, the King has personally selected some students to join the royal group, so we'll reach out to the selected students.”
Everyone clapped, and some of them seemed excited for it. I guess it's something they really want and would love to aim for.
“And the second announcement is that Prince Asher, the next Alpha will be joining us in our school as a student, so do well to give your full support, thank you.”
While almost everyone clapped, I suddenly felt uneasy about everything. If he's coming back to this school, it's definitely because of me. Why are things that are making me sad already infiltrating this school that seems to be my safe space?
