Note: I don't own anything 'Covenant' related...just my own character...decided to repost after it was taken down but without any changes...
I got more stares and catcalls on my way to my first class. I was late and ended up sitting next to Kate Tunney and a blonde girl named Sarah. I was polite but knew that Kate was dating Pogue Parry and if my plan was going to work, I couldn't become friends with their group too fast.
I was surprised that I didn't see him in any of my classes that day. I knew, for sure, the one place he would be after school and since I had to be there anyways, I went anticipating the right time to strike.
In my 'last' life, I had been on the female's swimming team but since Annie didn't come back, her spot was open so they were holding tryouts. I changed into the Spenser swimsuit (which I had purchased a size too small) and went out to the pool. The tryouts hadn't begun yet but I got into the pool to warm up.
When I came up, he was there with his 'brothers'. I swam over to the ladder closest to them and slowly pulled myself out of the pool. I ran my fingers through my hair and walked past them.
"Are you here for the tryouts?" someone called.
I turned and smiled while biting my bottom lip.
"Yeah. I hope I get the spot. I like being wet…I mean from swimming," I replied.
He stared at me and I knew he was checking me out. Soon it was just him and Tyler. Their coach had called Caleb and Pogue so they had left.
"I'm Tyler," he said. "And this is Reid."
"I know. A friend told me all about you. My name is Naomi and you," I said, looking right at Tyler, "can remember it as 'I moan' backwards."
"I'll keep that in mind," Reid said.
"No, you can just forget my name period. I'll see you, Tyler."
I walked away and knew that Tyler would be heckling Reid for being shot down. I looked over my shoulder and saw that Reid was staring at me so I put the next phase of my plan into work.
"Hey, you're Aaron, right?" I asked.
He turned around and looked at me. He did the whole body check out before smiling.
"Yeah. What can I do for you?"
"I want the hottest guy at Spenser to take me out tonight," I said, knowing Reid had moved closer and could hear everything. "My name is Naomi and I'm in 307. See you at 7?"
"Sure. Definitely."
Throughout the tryouts, I could feel Reid staring at me. I knew that by dating Aaron Abbot (his rival) would piss him off and then it would be time for the next phase.
Needless to say, I was chosen for the team so I would be seeing a lot of Reid (especially since they swim in those small, tight Speedos).
Aaron would be at my dorm room in 15 minutes and I was still in my bra and underwear. There were two outfits that I was debating against. The first was a short black miniskirt and a teal fitted strapless top. The second being a short red dress that looked like lingerie.
There was a knock on my door so I went over and opened it. Being in undergarments isn't that much different than a bikini so I didn't put on a robe. There stood Sarah and Kate.
"Hey. We were wondering if you wanted to go to Nicky's tonight?" Kate asked.
"I'm already going. I just can't decide what to wear on my date. Can you help?"
I had left my door open for when Aaron showed up and pointed out the outfits to Sarah and Kate.
"Who are you going with?"
"Me," a voice said from the door.
We all turned and there stood Reid and Tyler.
I put my hands on my hips and glared at Reid.
"You know for a fact that I'm going to Nicky's with Aaron. I wouldn't go out on a date with you for a million dollars."
"How about a million and one?" he joked.
"And let what you did to Annie happen to me? No and if you could excuse me, I have to get dressed for my date with Aaron."
"You won't be dressed for long," Reid retorted.
"Who says I want to be? I'm not ashamed to say that I like sex but it'll never happen with you."
With that, Reid and Tyler left. Sarah and Kate were shocked at what I said to Reid.
"Who's Annie?" Kate asked.
"Annie Foreman. She went to school here last year. I got to be friends with her and when I mentioned that I was coming to Spenser, she told me what happened between her and Reid. Now I can see why she told me to stay away from him."
"What happened?"
"Ask Romeo back there. That is if he can remember her. I'll see ya at Nicky's. I should get dressed before Aaron gets here."
