This is just a pilot chapter, you may like it, you might not. At first, its going to seem like your typical covenant fanfic. I can garruntee you that: she's not a mary sue, she does not have magical powers. She doesn't magically jump into bed with Reid or hate Reid and then falls in love with him. Heck. This isn't even about Reid Garwin. I may have to edit some more.
I don't own any part of the movie The Covenant.
Just anything else that seems unfamiliar.
Pilot Chapter.
"What is it about algebra?" A deep voice said behind the bookcase I was sitting next to. "I can never seem to solve them, if I do come to a conclusion it turns out wrong."
"Here, let me see." A girl's voice said before there was a shuffling of papers.
"Oh… uh." The girl sounded confused, "You are in a much higher math class than I am. I can't help you there."
I ignored the rest of the conversation as skimmed over the books to find a book on Tennyson. A book that my English teacher recommended as an excellent read. It seems that after searching through every single bookshelf in the library, I am just not seeing it.
Who in there right mind would steal a very boring book? I know I wouldn't even be looking for it, if it was not for the fact that I had a major report due on the author. I swear my English teacher did this just to spite me.
I groaned before getting off the ground, I was sitting there looking at the lower shelves. I was admitting defeat, I could feel my butt getting even more numb each second I had sat there. Before leaving the aisle I hitched my bag on to my shoulder, just as I was heading for the door I heard someone call my name.
"Olivia, could you help us for a second?" I turned to find Sarah sitting at the table with one of the sons of Ipswich, Caleb. How could have I not known it was those two on the other side of the bookshelf?
Who knows. Sarah happened to be one of my good friends from Chemistry. I put a smile on my face and pulled one of my very long curls from my face. "Sure," I strolled over to where they were sitting. "What do you need?"
Before Sarah explained what she needed help in, she introduced Caleb and I. "Olivia, this is my boyfriend Caleb. Caleb this is one of my good friends and math genius Olivia Thompson."
I gave a small wave as he gave a nod and he smiled. "Nice to meet you, Olivia."
"Same here." I said trying to fight off the blush that was slowly trying to peek out. No one could deny that Caleb Danvers and his brothers weren't handsome. Almost every girl in the academy had a crush on at least on son. Though it may have been very small, my crush was on Caleb in freshman year. My feelings were long gone since then. "So what do you need help with?"
Sarah smiled, "Well, Caleb, here, does not understand his algebra homework and he's in a higher math class that I am, do you think you could help?"
"Sure, can see what problems he is working with?" I asked as I sat in the chair that was directly across from Sarah. I was half expecting to have Sarah being the one to hand me the textbook, but it ended up being Caleb.
"Normally I am good at math, Professor Newton introduced these while I was gone and I am totally lost." He explained as he flipped to the page and slid the book across the table to me.
I studied to equation for a moment before announcing quietly to myself, "The answer is seven."
"Told ya, she was a math genius." Sarah said as she grinned at Caleb.
I cleared my throat before speaking, it was kind of nerve racking being near Caleb. I don't know what it was since I was quite comfortable being around guys and my small feelings for him were long gone. "I actually really have to go, but I can give you a lesson later, if you don't mind. We can meet up tomorrow afternoon." I told Caleb and it was the truth, I had to get to the coffee shop before Samantha blows a gasket. Samantha is a dear friend and boss. "I can speak to the Professor on my way out about an extension on your paper."
"Perfect!" Sarah announced as she clapped her hands together. She looked at Caleb, "You don't mind, right?"
"Not at all, are you sure the professor will let me get an extension?" He said with a serious expression.
"Don't worry," I grinned, "I've been pulling that man's heart-strings since I was born. He's my grandfather. Though I must be off, my boss will probably kill me if I show up even later than I already am."
I got up and waved good-bye to both Sarah and Caleb.
I eventually made it to the coffee shop. My grandfather decided to hold me up longer than I expected, he wanted to know how I've been holding up in my studies and if I had sent my application to Harvard like I promised him. I told him I had in both cases, my grandfather was my guardian more or less and I guess it makes him nervous to see me not be prepared for the future.
"Sorry, sorry." I said as I rushed into the coffee shop and got caught under Samantha's disapproving look. She never liked when employees where late, "There is no excuse to being late." She was very blunt about this the first day I started working.
"Livia, you are never late." She stated as she handed a customer two cups of coffee and a plate of coffee. "So I am going to give you slack this one time, you know that lateness is one of my pet peeves. Here take this cashier, I have to deal with John in the back. Apparently he can't find any baking soda."
"I know, and I'm sorry." I said apologetically. I hated giving Sam anymore hardship than she already has. Samantha was a single mother and owned the business, she has enough stress on her hands. I put on my apron and smiled at the next customer. "What can I get cha?"
The customer smirked, "A tall Latte, extra foam, and to go."
"Okay, but that has to be here." I explained, "The owner Samantha, likes to keep her customers here for personal touch. Well, that and she wants our poor busboy to suffer from being late."
"Anything for you, babe." I tried to hide my wince but I couldn't help it. I hated pet names with a passion especially when a stranger is calling me that.
"Please, refrain from calling babe." I said. I recognized this guy from school, Aaron Something. I turned to make his latte.
"Hey, Abbott!" The guy from behind him said, "Could ya hurry up and stop flirting with the poor girl?"
"No, how 'bout you shut up?" Aaron said as he started pick up lines. "Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living?"
I rolled my eyes and turned once I finished his drink. "How about you take this drink and leave? That would be 4.59, please."
"Sure, babe." He handed me the money and I gave him his drink in exchange. I hated customers like him, they were annoying. They can ruin my mood very quickly.
I tried my hardest not to through a muffin at him as he left to go sit in one to the seats next to the window. Evidently, right next to cashier counter. I rolled my eyes and smiled at the next customer. "What can I get you?"
