Disclaimer: I love the Covenant and I love Steven Strait and the characters Tyler and Reid and this idea came to me. So I wrote it tell me if you like it.
Ashley's impatient tapping of the foot was driving me up the wall while we waited for the end of our last class of the day.
"Knock it off before I cut your foot off." I whispered harshly to her from my position of being slouched in my seat.
"Miss. Lael!" I jumped hitting my knee quite painfully on the underside of the desk. "It wasn't me!" I responded to my name while Ashley hid her laugh and smile behind her hand while the others around us chuckled.
"The Provost would like to see you in his office." Sighing audibly I grabbed my bag seeing as I never took anything out it's why I had Ashley, my notetaker/best friend/sister. Stomping past the Sons Of Ipswich while I grabbed my note from the professor and began walking.
Ash, I'll meet you at the swim practice. I thought to my best friend and automatically I knew I had startled her when I heard her yelp and winked at her
You scared me, and loverboy is watching. Rolling my eyes at that statement while I waited for the Provost's secretary to signal me inside his office.
We weren't very popular and we were quite thankful for that since we had a secret we had to keep. We weren't ugly nor had a model's body, Ashley had a lightly tanned complexion which was odd considering she didn't like going out in the sun much, she had light blonde hair with black tips thanks to yours truly, she was slightly shorter than me since she was only 5'6 and me 5'8.
I was light skinned but I liked to play volleyball in the summer, I had dark hair which made me lighter than I am, we both had dark brown eyes. Since we grew up together, we did everything together some used to think we we're lesbian but they grew out of that. Ashley and I made the swim team our freshmen year, I loved the water as did she even though she lost her parents when they went on cruise and a big storm came through and they drowned while falling off the ship and was found floating the coast.
"The Provost will see you now." I got up smoothly and walked into the Provost's office and was greeted by a woman standing off to the side and my dark eyes shifted from her to the man standing behind the desk.
"Miss. Lael I'm afraid we have some news about your mother." My eyes widened a fraction and I took a breath. "Her doctor informed us that she passed away this morning, your father seems to be unavaible. This is Mrs. Winters, a social worker. We know that Miss. Metrik was living with you and your parents were her godparents." I nodded mutely sitting down. "I am terribly sorry for your lost my dear, you and Miss. Metrik will be transported to the persons' home your mother has request you live with until your inheritance. Yours and hers belongings have been packed and taken already." I barley heard any of the words afterwards until I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Ashley with a concerned look on her face and I shot up from my seat and sobbed into her shoulder.
It's alright Amanda, it's going to be okay. I I heard her telepathically and I nodded when Mrs. Winters guides both of us out of the office and down the corridor. I realized that the bell for last class had rung and people watched me and Ashley be escorted out of the building and I felt my face flame up at their looks. I felt the weight of Ashley's arm on my shoulder and I was comforted by my sister and I glanced out of the corner of my eye and almost stopped when I saw the Sons of Ipswich watching us, and my face burned brighter when I saw Tyler. Me and Ashley got into the car and huddled together, both wondering who we had to live with now.
"God hates me Ash he really does." We both sat in my room of the Simms Manor me laying hanging upside down from the bed while she sat sitting in the recliner. "I didn't even know mom knew Tyler's family. " It was midnight already seeing as we spent 7 hours being chatted up with Mrs. Simms and Mrs.Winters. Until finally the social worker left us alone.
"Don't know about you but I like Tyler's mom plus we get to see you-know-who everyday." I laughed slightly at Amanda's suggestive voice. The sound of a knock at the door and I didn't bother rising from my position while Amanda got up and opened the door.
Get your ass up woman. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion while I lifted my head to see who was at the door and who stood there made me fall off the bed with a squeak. Tyler and Reid stood there with Amanda laughing.
