Misfortune Brings Out the Truth
Chapter One : The Dells pt. 1
Tyler's POV
Here we are waiting at the cliffs for my best friend and roommate, Reid Garwin. I wonder what's taking him so damn long. As soon as I finish my thought I hear the familiar voice of my best friend.
"What's up fellas?"
"Where were you I stopped by to give you a lift?" I say giving him a questioning look.
"I had things to do. How's the party?" Reid nonchalantly replies.
"We don't know. We just got here." Answers Christopher Parry, or Pogue as he's insisted we call him since we were kids.
"More like we've been waiting for you for over 10 minutes Reid." Caleb Danvers scolds him as usual.
Reid only shrugs and replies with, "Well hell boys, lets drop in," before he lets his eyes bleed a shade of black darker than night and jumping from the cliff.
"Shit yeah!" I excitedly shout as I take a step backwards off the cliff myself. My eyes turning an equally dark shade of black.
"Tyler!" I hear Caleb shout my name as I'm soaring to the ground as fast as the wind will carry me before I land gracefully on my feet next to my best friend. We bump fists laughing while we wait on the other two. Pogue is the next one to land beside us and we all look up waiting for Caleb to make his descent.
"Let's go." Caleb says in that voice of authority he tends to use at all hours of the day. "Yeah, Kate is waiting for me." Pogue announces a little excitedly. Reid and I share a look and laugh before I reply with, "You do know your girlfriend is a slut right?" Pogue all but breaks his neck in shock and denial. See I never say anything like that or anything at all for the matter. However this is a matter of which I can't keep quiet about anymore. You see Kate is the biggest slut in all of Spenser and that's saying something being that the school campus is the equivalent size to that of a college campus.
"She's not a slut. I really wish you guys would stop calling her that." Pogue as usual is in denial of the obvious.
"Dude, she tried to suck my dick in the hallway. I practically had to beat her away with my bag. Your girlfriend is a slut and the whole school knows it." I say to him while trying to refrain from shouting as we've begun walking towards the huge crowd of people. Pogue looks like he wants to argue but Caleb cuts him off in a stern voice of authority by saying, "We'll sort this out later." That's all it took for us to stop as Caleb is the unofficial leader of our "little clique". You see we're The Sons of Ipswich. Well that's what everyone around here calls us. My friends, well brothers, and I are all descended from the original founding families of the original Ipswich colonies. You know the families who fled Salem during the witch hunts. What isn't common knowledge though is that my brothers and I all possess these powers. According to the Book of Damnation, the power is passed down to the first born male of each of family who formed the covenant of silence. The Covenant was formed due to the recklessness of a fellow witch but that's a story for another time. We all gained our powers at the age of thirteen; however the power we possess now is only a glimpse of the power we'll receive once we ascend at eighteen. There's an order in which it will happen. Caleb is first, next is Pogue, then Reid, and lastly me. Since I'm the last to ascend all the guys call me Baby Boy. A name I've tried to shake since we were kids but failed. Now the name doesn't bother me because I know I'm stuck with it for life.
"Baby Boy," Reid calls out to gain my attention as I wasn't paying attention to a word he's been saying. I just look at him with a bored expression and respond, "What Reid?" He narrows his eyes at me a bit and says, "Now that you've finished spacing I can tell you that Trina and the Slut Queen are over there with these two extremely hot girls." I look over to where he's pointing and see that he is in fact right that Trina is over there with the Slut Queen and two extremely hot girls. See Reid and I always completely disregard Kate because we don't like her and can see through her. She doesn't love Pogue and is only with him to boost her popularity. When she first started here no one knew she even existed. It wasn't until she got with Pogue that everyone started wanting to befriend her. Kate is the worst kind of girl there is at Spenser. Well enough about that slut; I take a closer look at the new girls and see that one of them is none other than…wait no that can't be right. Yes it is it's definitely International Teen Model and Fashion Icon Audriana Montgomery.
