As we talked with those in the pool, it was once again clear that we were not necessarily welcome here at this party. Most of them ignored us on principle. The ones that did talk to us were being polite and uncomfortable, or all kinds of awful. Abner and Myles were slightly different. Because they were both Osis, they were not disdained outright. There were plenty of Osis people at the party. They had to actually tell people their names before they got the rough treatment. It was only when Dukesh beta called us over did we have any good conversation. He was a minority, but he happened to be on the basketball team. As a starter power forward, he had quite a bit of clout in the school. We went to him immediately. His name was Simon Brannon. As a jock, he had a few fans and groupies that followed him around. 4 were with him at the moment. A couple of them were on the cheerleading team. 1 was his childhood friend on the math team, Eli Marlin- another Dukesh beta. The other was his current girlfriend, a Dukesh omega female that he had been dating for over a year. She was Abigail Brady.
Being that they were here, we listened to them talk about the basketball team. The Blaqis was on his case. He wanted to replace Simon, but there was none better on the team. That did not stop the harassment though. If all he could do was break Simon and make him quit, that was what he was going to do. Obviously, winning was not as important as maintaining a racial hierarchy. "Fat chance of that happening. Even the Alphas can't keep up with me and do what I do on court." he scoffed. That was a good attitude to have. They then turned to us to ask why we were here. "We got invited by Matthias." I said. "We get that. You'd be kicked out and beaten to a pulp if you didn't have an invite. Why did he invite you? What's your deal?" Eli clarified his focus. I explained what our group was about. He looked at us and said "I get it. All of the ethnic groups stick together when things get rough. I can see why the Omega males would be doing the same thing." Simon said in understanding. Abigail said "Omegas protecting themselves from Alphas sounds awesome!" "Maybe we can do that too?" she said to Simon.
Casting a glance at the DJ, Simon said "Looks like the music is about to start." He probably was not that interested in being an advocate for the omegas of the school. It certainly was not for everyone. We decided to go with his group as they made their way to the turntables. The DJ was an Asela female with an undercut. She introduced herself as "DJ Bluebell". She got the outside party started with some dance music. I began to dance where I was and the others did too. There were girls in the growing crowd that were vibing with Abner, Myles and I. Some of them wanted to talk to us. There were others that wanted to grind and dirty dance with for a song or two before moving on to someone else. It was totally alright with us. That was not the case with Linus though. As the only open omega male of the group, he only got alphas that wanted to grind against his ass. It was that or get hit on and propositioned for sex somewhere in the house. He was not having a good time. I decided that I needed to be proactive here to save the situation. I paired up Linus and Myles to dance and sing together.
