Chapter Three: Covenant of Silence

Reid stood in front of the dorm room he shared with Caleb staring at the dry erase board that hung on the outside of their door. On it Caleb had written "Reid Class is Cancelled." That was his ingenious way of saying that he and Sarah were inside having sex.

Impatiently Reid pounded on the door. "Caleb!"

Moments later the door opened partially. "What the hell, man? Are you too drunk to read?" Caleb pointed to the white board.

"Look, I just need to change my clothes, ok?" Reid pushed against the door trying to open it.

Caleb held the door tightly, surveying his friend. "Is that glitter?" he asked with a smirk.

"Come on man, just open the door."

"Give us a second ok?" Caleb told his roommate.

"Did I hear you say glitter?" Sarah asked as she slipped back into her clothes.

"It's all over him," Caleb laughed as he pulled his shirt over his head. "I can't wait to hear this story."

Most people seemed to be under the impression that Reid was some sort of golden haired god. They imagined his life was full of sexual conquests though most were one night stands. He'd gotten a reputation at Spenser for being a bad boy with a never ending stream of girls in and out of his dorm room. But he was none of those things. In fact, the only females who had ever set foot in his dorm room were his mother and Mrs. Simms.

Reid had started that rumor about himself to combat the other rumor that had spread like wildfire across the Spenser campus their freshman year: That he and Tyler Simms were MORE than just roommates - which of course, was a complete lie since both were as hetero as the sky is blue.

Unfortunately Reid's own rumor came back to bite him in the ass. Sure he was cleared of the alleged homosexual relationship with Tyler but instead of girls knocking down his door, they stayed away – afraid that he would use them and then dump them.

Anyway that's not to say NO girls ever went out with Reid because Reid had gone on plenty of dates and kissed plenty of girls. He'd even managed to get oral service on demand most of the time. However, that was it.

And it was the Son of Ipswich's best kept secret: He was a still a virgin.

His best friend, Tyler Simms on the other hand got more action than he could handle. That's right – quiet, shy Tyler was a man-whore. He may have been the last to get his powers, but he was the first to have sex, making Reid jealous out of his mind.

He swore to himself, that if he didn't do anything else at Harvard – he would have sex.

"How many condoms do you carry around with you?" Sarah asked.

"Normally two," Reid answered as he tore through his closet looking for something to wear. "But tonight I had eight."

"Eight?" Sarah laughed.

"That's a little optimistic, don't you think?" Caleb put his arm around Sarah, pulling her closer. "My personal best was…six times?"

"Try five and half," Sarah leaned into Caleb for a kiss.

"How do you have a half time?" Reid looked at them in confusion. The two lovebirds just laughed and kissed again.

Reid pretended to gag, but the couple paid no attention to him. He focused his efforts back on his closet, trying to ignore the fact that Caleb was practically dry humping Sarah right in front of him.

This was going to be a long semester.


So I realize Reid's little secret may seem a little (or ALOT) unbelievable (OOC) to many of you. But I do hope you give this story a chance. Review and let me know what you think...
