I do not own The Covenant or any of its characters. I do however own Melissa, any other characters that do not appear in The Covenant, and the story.
Chapter 1
You could say that I know the sons. I did grow up with them and I was the only friend of theirs that was a girl. After puberty when the boys all started wanting to date is when I truly knew I wanted to change my tomboy ways. I just wanted the sons to notice me as more than "One of the boys."
Last day of 8th grade
'Hey Mel!' Reid yelled to me down the long hallway. 'I have to ask you a... what's up with you?' Obviously noticing the extremely giddy look on my face.
'I just found out that I was picked to go to Spain this summer! Isn't that great!' I am pretty sure that my excitement freaked him out.
'Yeah thats cool.' Reid said sarcastically before telling me to come over to his place after school to celebrate the end of the year.
The guys were never excited for me. Maybe it is the fact that they think of me as one of the guys. Just because I can belch the alphabet and kill spiders doesn't mean that I am not a girl. Next year maybe I can get them to notice me. Somehow I have to will my boobs to grow and figure out how to get my hair to not be a curly, frizzy mess of blonde madness.
When the final bell rang I met up with the guys so we could head over to Reids's place. On the way over to his house I told everyone about Spain and all they did was say have fun and they will see me next year. It sure seems like they don't want me to be around. When we reached the Garwin manor Pogue and Tyler decided to throw me in the pool. I was pissed. After a few hours of doing "guy stuff" my mom showed up to take me home even though my house is only a mile away.
'Melly, I am really very proud of you." My mom told me using the nickname my father had used before he died.
'Thanks Mom that means a lot.' Those were the last words exchanged while in the car. My mom slowly pulled the car up the long drive way to the house. I really needed to pack because I was going to leave in less than two days. My packing consists of throwing all my clothes and stuff into a suitcase and struggling to zip it up.
2 days later
I waved back at the people I was leaving for the summer. Everyone I cared about; Mom, Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler. I almost began to cry but turned and walked to the gate. I promised myself that I was going to be different when I came home. I took my seat and realized that I was about to begin the biggest adventure of my whole entire life.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
I know it was short and fast but I had to get to the real story. Also note that this story will take place senior year and the whole Chase thing is not going to happen but there will be Sarah. story will not follow movie in any way. If I get enough reviews I will continue and the rest of the chapters will be slower and more descriptive.
