This is my first story. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.
I unfortunately don't own anything from The Covenant, but it sure would be nice if I did.
Always Looked, Never Seen
Chapter One: Fair Warning
I will never get it. I will never truly understand what all those girls see in that over-indulgent, pompous, ass. Sure he's good looking but he's so rude that it ruins his handsome features. Of course I am being judgmental, but I have known him since I was little and although we've never been friends, we've never been enemies either. We simply have never spoken. Not really. We've done school related assignments together, and acknowledged each other when required but never really talked, and we've went to school together since kindergarten. He has always thought he was too good for me, even back then.
He has this disgusting confidence, not that confidence is a bad thing. But he just pushes it way too far. He has been with almost every girl in the school, uses them and leaves them, and they still worships the ground he walks on. He must really know how to use that dick. I guess it's just the feminist in me that hates him so much, but there is just nothing appealing about him. Reid Garwin is an appalling prick, and I'm glad he never looks my way.
That is the speech I tell Andrea once a month. At least one version of it, as there are a few. She is infatuated with that guy. She transferred in at the beginning of our sophomore year from Milwaukee, and became my new roommate after a damaging fruit punch accident with my old one. We became the best of friends rather quickly. She's got bright green eyes and straight brown hair, which offsets her freckled, porcelain skin. She not really what I'd call attractive from a males perspective; she's flat as a board, but her 5'10 frame could easily hit a New York runway this instant. She's kind of nerdy, but so am I. We talk about anything and everything. I was lonely, and she fixed that with her friendship. We've become sisters.
"You say that all the time, Leslie, but you are the only girl at Spencer who does not want a piece of him. I would do anything for just one look my way from that guy," she said.
We were sitting in our dorm room with me on my bed and her on hers. It was around midnight and we had just got back from the end of summer party at the Dells. It was time to start a new year, our senior year.
Andrea was commenting on everyone who had just returned from summer break. I was not one of them. I am at Spencer because my parents don't want me in their way at home. I was sent to boarding school at the tender age of five. My parents only bring me home to Georgia for Christmas, and that is only for appearances. My dad is a wealthy attorney and my mom is a hot trophy wife. They live off of liquor and botox. I get a phone call occasionally.
"There was a new girl there with Kate, you know, Pouge Perry's girlfriend. She seemed to be interested in Caleb, and maybe Reid. Do you know who she is?" She asks this because she's jealous.
"Um, I've seen her around the dorms a few times this past week. I think her name is Sarah or something like that." I personally don't care who the girl likes, I don't know her. Andrea is always preoccupied with gossip, while I could care less.
"I hope she goes for Caleb and not Reid. I'm going to get his attention this year. He just has to notice me once." This bothers me.
"Please don't set yourself up for heartbreak. You deserve so much better than him," I say. I know she's not listening anymore. She's daydreaming and will probably be asleep soon. I tell her that all the time but she never pays attention. I have a feeling this year I'm really going to wish she had listened.
