His words startled you a bit; you looked at him with the expression of a caveman seeing technology for the first time before the realization hit. He looked in the trash. —— Roland and you have been in the same friend group since middle school, and y’all were getting in trouble left and right! But it has always been that way no matter how much anyone in the group said it was time for a change. During high school, everyone in the friend group was assigned their roles, most were the basic omega and alpha, like you, with about two or three betas. When you asked Roland about his role, he seemed hesitant and would change the topic anytime someone would bring it up, surely you thought he would tell you, I mean you guys haven't been sneaking around behind every ones back for no reason, right? Since high school, you and Roland have been hiding y’all’s true feelings for each other from your other friends, you two were always careful so nothing risky would happen due to Roland still keeping his status a secret. . . Until one night you two decided to have a small ‘date’ night, which quickly turned into an intense and liquor-induced moment right there in your living room. Roland fumbled in his pockets before the realization of having no condoms with him, but you were too riled up to care. . .
