A Simm's Time

Hey everyone so this is my very first Covenant fanfic.

I know it may seem kind of Reid-ish at first but its definitely going to be TylerOC.

Please let me know what you think of this story so far.

Lastly, sadly I don't own the Covenant, just Kals.

Friend or Foe

"Tell me Aaron, after we finish whooping your ass do you run home and cry to your mommy?"

Leaning across the table I smiled widely before taking aim and making contact with the white ball.

The last solid ball slid into the corner pocket.

"That's my girl!" Reid whispered sliding in behind me. Smirking wildly at the look of distaste on Abbott's face, he wound his arms around me pulling me in.

"First you make him cry, then you take his money. Someone might mistake you for a bully there Red." Nuzzling into my neck.

Laughing loudly I turned bringing my hand up against his chest. "You don't really think I'm a bully right?" Fluttering my lashes for good measure I stuck out my lower lip.

He was such a sucker for that look.

"Hey Whore you gonna finish the game before you fuck Garwin?" Aaron yelled across the table. His friends all laughing loudly.

Hm...boys

Eyes flashing Reid took a step towards him, his fists clenching.

Grabbing his hand tightly I tugged him back. No way was I going to allow Aaron to distract us from winning. The little punk could rot in hell for all I cared, but not before they paid up.

"No need to be jealous I'm sure you can manage to find some stupid slut drunk enough to mistake your twig for the real thing." The thing about boys. No matter who they were the quickest way to win in a situation like this.

Was to Aim Low.

"Why you little Bit..."

"Careful there Abbot your sounding a bit defensive. Did I hit to close to home?"

Bored of the game and our 'opponents' I decided to wrap it up.

Lining up the white ball with the eight ball I took the shot.

Just a little to happy Reid walked up to Aaron, his smirk present. "Well looks like you and your pussies owe me and my girl 60 bucks."

My girl? That had me raising an eyebrow in his direction. Reid Garwin, the one and only alleged sex god of our school. Known for his success with women, all women to be exact was the last person you ever expected to hear those words from.

Especially when directed towards me.

My driver's licence tells me I am 17 years old (though I've been told I look closer to 16, what can I say I was a late bloomer) and approximately 4 foot 11'. Ya I'm short, and maybe a little bit more defensive then I should be about it but do you have any idea how annoying it is when people point out how short you are. Its like gee thank you I do realize you tower over me.

Grrrr...

Right getting off track, my licence also shows a picture of a fairly pale (damn all you tanned people!) girl with a sprinkle of freckles across her nose and cheeks with wavy auburn hair falling below the shoulders.

All in all I'm your average teenager. I'm not overly thin but thanks to the height issue I already mentioned I come off as fragile which with my attitude and need for independence is kind of annoying.

My name is Kaille Arnold, I'm still a virgin and my best friend in the whole world is none other then the eternal man-whore himself.

Reid Garwin.

"Hey." Hands flashed in front of my face. Shaking my head slightly I stared dumbly at said Blondie boy Garwin.

"What were you saying?" I wasn't really willing to admit I had zoned out thinking about him. Poor boy already had an over inflated ego.

With a knowing look he grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers. "Awww I'm touched, just being in my presence effects you." Leaning closer he leered "Just wait until I get you into bed."

Yup this was my best friend, the never serious always looking for action Reid. It's kind sad but I had at one point actually considered his bed. Yeah I know total eww, never a good thing for friendship but seriously. I'm turning 18 in 2 months and can say without crossing my fingers that the most exciting thing I have ever done with a guy is hold hands. In my mind that called for drastic action. Thankfully though, minutes after considering such a situation with Reid my inner logic won over, that and Reid was basically my older brother. It would have been way to awkward, he just had way to much fun scaring away any guys that were interested to even consider anything more then G rated.

He still flirted though and said outrageous things to see if he could make me blush.

It was a game now. Who could get under the others skin the fastest. He may have all the experience but there was one thing that would betray him every time. He wasn't considered a man-whore for nothing.

Posing playfully I moved stepping in between his legs. Dragging a finger down the side of his cheek, I stared him in the eyes, making sure to stand as close as possible.

His gulp was audible. Score one for me.

"I know I'm irresistible Blondie but you gotta try and control your self." Smiling evilly I traced the outline of his lower lip.

Growling playfully he made a move to swipe at me. Squealing I ducked out of his grasp making a bee line for the table where the rest of our friends sat.

Still smiling I dropped into the last empty chair seated between Caleb and Pogue.

"Hey guys,"

"Hey Kaille, where've you been?" Kate asked, sitting beside her boyfriend.

"Just scoring some money off of Aaron and the boys" I stopped for a second, a growl passing through my lips. "Money which Reid forgot to split with me."

With everyone laughing, I dramatically dropped my head onto the table loudly. Friends were never as supportive as they let on to be.

Shaking his head Caleb pushed his chair back. "Daydreaming again Kals?"

"Only a little," I whined through my hair.

Again with the whole table laughing, how was this considered fair? "Hey Caleb?" My voice suddenly sugary sweet "Will you get me a coke when your up there? The dork has all of my money."

Smiling he just shook his head again. "You know I will."

Smiling back I turned towards my friends. I had known the guys since I was 13 when my parents had moved us from Ontario Canada because of my Dad's work. Growing up down the road from Reid and Tyler I had been officially welcomed into the tight knit group after slugging Reid in the face for calling me a boy. After that little incident I was one of the lucky few allowed to get close to the guys and know their secrets.

And I did, know their secrets that is. Again it was 100 percent Reid's fault that due to a little incident involving dissolving shirts that they had let me in on the secret of the Covenant.

Let me be the first to warn you that when a 14 year old boy tells you he can make your clothes disappear..he may not be lying.

"So Kaille, you and Reid... playing pool together... again." Sarah started, the tone obvious.

Must restrain from eye twitch, don't give in.

"He's my best friend."

"And here I though I was your best friend." Pogue added, earning the finger from me and a playful slap from Kate.

"I'm serious! Me and Reid just like to have fun."

Oops wrong thing to say..

"Uh huh.."

A coke was set in front of me cutting off my denial. Smiling up at Caleb in thanks I took a sip. Out of all the guys he was definitely the most considerate.

It was frustrating, I always got into this situating where I was denying getting some. It really wasn't that good for my self-esteem, because truth is outside of the group, I'm shy. Sarah was the newest addition to our group which meant she hadn't seen how we interacted twenty four-seven, so it was easy to see why she might think we were together. His interest in girls in general and my oh so cheery disposition which led to sarcastic remarks and accidental flirting was a confusing thing to watch.

Besides I already liked somebody.

"Ouff!" All the air was pushed out of my lungs as someone sat on top of me. Someone who just happened to have blonde hair and a tight ass.

"REID!" Shoving I tried to get him to move. "Get off me you fat ass, I can't breathe!"

"Lies, you and I both know you adore my perfect bod."

From the corner of my eye I caught Sarah's gaze and heard the giggle that escaped her mouth. Great, this was definitely helping with the convincing of the non togetherness we felt for each other.

"Oh dearest Reid."

This was the voice that raised his hair and made him cautious of the girl under him. Used to her out bursts and sudden mood swings, this single tone indicated danger. Girls could be just plain scary at times.

Tugging his head closer I stopped beside his ear. "My left hand has magically situated itself at an extremely important part of your anatomy." Squeezing to prove a point I hid my smile at the startled boy. "3...2..."

He jumped up glaring at her, suddenly the glare was gone, replaced with a grin. "I have no problem with you playing with the merchandise, all you have to do is ask Red." And we're tied for points.

Ugh...so not good.

Great now was not only Sarah smiling that "I know the truth" smile but so was Kate. Was she even aware of how long it had taken me to convince Kate there was nothing going on? No I don't think so.

"Right so I'm going to ignore you for the rest of the night for that."

"Does that mean I get to keep your half of the winnings?"

I swear I gasped at that. Stupid failure of a short term memory, stupid boys.

Reaching out I tried to grab the money he dangled in front of my face. Smirking he kept it just out of my reach.

"Come on Reid play nice."

"That's my chair you're sitting in."

"You would make the girl stand just because you have my money?"

I knew the answer.

Standing up I stepped out of the way as he sat down, exaggerating each and every moment.

Jackass

"Now whose the bully?" Maybe pouting would work?

"I love it when you pout like that."

Damn it!

Glaring half-heartedly I looked around the table. Caleb and Sarah were staring longingly at each other like cute preps. Pogue and Kate were basically at the same place, with their arms wrapped around each other, Pogue was whispering something into her ear resulting in a blush and knowing smile. Okay jealousy levels slightly rising, moving on. Finally my gaze stopped directly across the table.

Tyler.

I could have stared at him forever.

There was just something about him I couldn't figure out. The Baby Boy of the group was definitely the quietest and had that whole innocence thing working well for him but beneath that shyness was something. Years of Reid had definitely corrupted his mind, there was no doubt about it.

His eyes flickered towards me, his gaze trapping my own. Startled to be caught staring I couldn't look away. His eyes, the purest of blue promised me something dangerous. Catching myself I dragged my gaze away, struggling to think clearly.

For me it had always been Tyler. From the first time we had met his shy wave and crooked smile had won me over. Now 18, the baby boy of the group had grown into a gorgeous man with messy thick brown hair that begged to be touched and a body that any woman would want.

Trying to act indifferent I looked up at him again.

He was still watching me. Silently he sat just watching, his hands though lying on the table were clenched as if he were fighting something. Nothing else gave away the inner struggle raging through him.

"Hey Red..."

"Kaille!" Reid's voice broke through.

Snapping my head to the left I could only stare at him numbly.

Reid fought to hide his growing smirk. From where he sat he had easily seen the way his best friends had stared at each other. This game they played had been going on for years. Fully aware of each other they both fought to stay indifferent.

Tyler was an idiot.

Kaille wasn't going to stay single for long and if he didn't hurry up he'd be forced to glare as some other guy stole his girl.

Hell lately he'd even started to flirt with her in earnest hoping to force a response from his friend. Instead he'd ended up with a roommate who talked even less and walked around with a resigned look on his face. Ty wasn't meant to be emo but if he didn't do something soon he was going to end up alone.

"What's up?" Kaille asked waiting.

Smirking wildly he looked up and down her body. "Why don't you come over here and sit on my lap?" From the corner of his eye he watched as Tyler froze, his eyes closing tightly.

Tada...ya so that's what I've got so far.

Please let me know if it's worth continuing, if I do it will either be a T or M rating.

Thanks for reading.
