"You all deserve to die."
Faye sat in the corner chair, towelling off her face and hair. It had taken them dumping a glass of water on her before she would get out of bed. Sara and Kate had tried almost everything but it only seemed to result in a pillow being thrown at them and a muffled 'Go away.'
Kate was in the chair in front of the mirror, putting her earings in. "Not very pleasant in the morning, are we?"
"I don't do mornings. Feel lucky you're getting complete sentences." Finishing with the towel, she tossed it at Kate. Kate caught the towel and dropped it into the laundry hamper beside her. The entire time, Kate smiled mischievously.
The door to the room opened and Sara walked in. She wore her school uniform but what she was carrying caught Faye's attention.
"Caffeine!" Faye spun the chair to face the wall, used her feet to push and slide the chair towards the door. Sara held out the prized bottle of Doctor Pepper so Faye could snatch it. Faye immediately opened the bottle and downed half of it. "Mmmm."
Handing Kate her coffee, Sara shook her head, "I can't believe you drink that stuff. Especially in the morning. Do you realize how much sugar is in that?"
Faye used her feet to roll her chair back to the desk. "Don't like coffee. Too bitter and by the time it's sweet enough, it has more sugar than pop."
"You may want to get ready. In case you forgot, Tyler's coming over to check out your head." Kate was now making her way to their shared bathroom.
"Was he the cutely sweet or the cutely annoying?"
That stopped Kate in the doorway but it was Sara who answered. "You're kidding. Right?"
Faye lifted up one leg to rest on the chair and leaned on it. "Mornings and thinking never mix."
Kate shook her head and laughed lightly, "Don't go there Sara. She's not a morning person. Tyler's the cutely sweet one."
A knock came from the door. Faye pushed off the wall again and rolled over to the door. Sara smiled and looked at Kate, "Now I know why she was so insistent on having the computer chair."
"It let's you move around the room without getting up," Faye opened the door.
Tyler was wearing his school uniform as well. He looked rather attractive in it. "How you feeling this morning?"
"Like a drowned rat." Faye rolled back over to her drink and downed the remaining half.
Tyler eyed her carefully. Her hair was damp and looked as if she had just ran a towel through it. She wore a black pair of shorts and a baggy grey sweatshirt. She looked okay considering what had happened that night. Under her eyes were the beginning of dark circles. "Drowned rat?"
Kate sat beside Sara on her bed, "Don't ask. Check her out so we can go already."
Tyler made his way to Faye and parted her hair. She frowned at Kate and Sara, "You guys can go without me. I'll meet you there, just save me a seat. Ow!"
"Sorry," Tyler's voice was soft but he continued to inspect her head. "Like I said last night, you have a nasty bump but it looks good."
Faye stood up and shooed him towards the door. She turned to the others and pointed at the door. "Go. You wait for me and you may be late."
They stood up and joined Tyler at the door. Sara shook her head, "Fine. We'll see you there but try to be on time."
As they shut the door behind them, Faye yelled out, "Thanks Tyler!"
Once the door was shut, Faye gathered her clothes and put them on the bed. She was glad that Kate and Sara had taken it upon themselves to get all her clothes. Everything she wore the night before was in the laundry.
She took off the large sweatshirt and looked at her stomach. She had bandaged it last night while the others slept. The gauze needed to be replaced. If it kept bleeding, she was going to have a more than just medical issues. She grabbed the first aid kit from under Sara's bed and went to work.

Reid sauntered down the hallway. He did not know why he was heading to see Faye. He liked how she returned his banter, it was kind of a turn on. He stopped outside the bedroom door. Tyler had left to check up on her a little while ago and Reid figured he'd still be there.
Reaching for the handle, Reid froze. Why was he so nervous? This was ridiculous. Reid opened the door and stepped in.
He froze when he realized what he was looking at. Faye was looking at him, her eyes wide.
"Oh my god!" She grabbed her shirt from the bed and covered her chest. Reid did not say a word, he just stared at her with his mouth slightly open. Other than the shirt she was holding, Faye only wore a black pair of shorts.
Faye clutched the shirt like her life depended on it. "What the hell are you doing! Don't you know how to knock!"
Reid stood there, dumbfounded. "I . . . I . . ."
"Out! Out!" He came to his senses and backed up towards the door. His hand fumbled for the handle.
Faye's cheeks were almost lobster red but she managed to only look angry. "Do you need a hearing aid? I said get out!"
Finally finding the handle, Reid swung the door open and slammed it shut. He took a moment to lean back on the door and breathe. Once he was ready, he pushed off the door and looked both ways down the hall. He started walking left but turned back around and continued towards his morning class.
Reid was nodding slightly, "Okay then."

A/N: Okay, not the greatest chapter but I had to get this one out in order to write the next one. Am I going to go with Tyler or Reid, what do you think? Anyways, I hope this chapter wasn't too boring and turned anyone off of my story. Thanks to those who reviewed. It feels good to have people encourage you and I hope more of you who read this review. Even if it is just a word or two, or even an 'update soon'. As I said before, I'm trying to answer any questions. . . so here goes.
GossipGirl05: Yes, he especially reminded me of Malfoy during the dance with that scarf around his neck and over one shoulder.
Daydream1: Thanks for the definition... I may be dipping my toe in that slightly but not in the worse ones. There is always someone bigger then you out there. As for Chase's message, there was a reason I didn't tell. Pure torture. If you think Tyler's adorable now, check out his actor pictures on imdb dot com. The pictures sure do him justice.
Calie Montan: Thank you so much for reviewing! Glad to see you love the chapter. I have to say that this story has gotten the most attention my stories have ever had.
Skye Mercer: You know what, I'm really happy to hear you like my story, especially Faye. About your own story, go for it. Just call it an Alternate Universe (AU) or an Alternate Reality (AR). I think it would be interesting to see what you can do with Caleb and Pogue as brothers. My only suggestion, don't make them brothers and then make it a slash between them. Incest isn't my thing.
Draco's Secret Lover: Yes, it is irritating. The Covenant is not the Craft, in any way. Did the girls have to worry about growing old and weak? Don't think so. I only stated that the relationship is an OC/ Reid? or Tyler?. I still haven't decided yet. I am having a lot of fun going through scenarios in my head with both of them. It works well with not having to decide yet. So as for giving you Reid... can't at the moment. LOL. As for reading the other Covenant stories, let's hope they update soon!
