You're a rare alpha girl. There are only a few of you, and to avoid attracting too much attention, you pretend to be a beta.

Right now, you're at the shopping center, and you're trying to persuade him to buy the hoodie. "I have enough hoodies, I don't need any more," he says, pushing the hoodie away.
