CH 4: As Lucy and Anna confront the boys about last nights activities (thinking a certain blond and brunette duo are gay), the sons of Ipswich are led to believe the girls know about the powers of the covenant.

A/N: FIRST OFF, thanks so much for the reviews:D I probably won't have much time to reply to reviews now, seeing as school (UNFORTUNATELY) is about to start for me, so I apologize for that. Secondly, God, is it just me or are there a lot of dirty, filthy names for cocktail drinks?! Even cocktail sounds dirty, but then again, I'm immature:P Anywho, an sort of long chapter for you folks, so you better send the praises. Okay, now I sound like an arrogant bitch…which I am:D Mama raised me well. OH YEAH, and just to notify you guys, in case you didn't get the memo on the PREVIOUS summary:

TYLER AND REID ARE NOT GAY!

As you will find out in this chapter. Enjoy KIDDIES:D

screwed-driver
Tyler's not the only one getting screwed over…again.

Tyler Simms hated the morning after whenever he got visibly smashed. He hated dry swallowing Aspirin, listening to Reid bitch, and experiencing that fucked up hangover from heck. He especially hated it when the morning after took place on Monday mornings. Who the fuck holds a party on Sunday night? More importantly, who was dumb enough to attend a party on a Sunday night? Tyler was ashamed, but he'd have to wave the white flag on that one.

Hangovers sucked like ass, but what was more gruesome about the one he was suffering through now was the fact that his entire body felt like a truck had run through it. He could vaguely remember what happened; it had something to do with him rolling down a hill, pissed drunk. Of course, the fall had taken him up a good two or three notches on the sober scale...but that was nothing, seeing as he drank more than his weight the night before. Needless to say, he got completely fucked up, and for once, it was Reid dragging his sorry ass back to the dorms. Their first stop? Apparently, Tyler was so drunk, he decided to visit the shower chambers for a little rinse…fully clothed. He could still remember it now…

He moaned, feeling water seep through his shirt. A moment of realization had hit him like a pack of knives when he realized how absurdly hot the damn water was. In a matter of seconds, he was squabbling around the showers in pain, panting from exertion.

"Are you done, baby boy?" Reid inquired with irritation.

"Ugh," Tyler groaned from the floor, rolling around on the tile.

Reid rolled his eyes, secretly wondering if he was ever this idiotic when he got wasted. The answer would be yes. He turned on the nozzle of one of the public showers Tyler had rolled under and stood their watching his friend attempt to sober up.

It took a few minutes, but Tyler eventually stood up, and rested his body against the wall as he grabbed onto the shower knob for support. The cuts he had on his arms, courtesy of the tumble on the hill, stung as the water cleaned away the dirt. He groaned once again, breathing heavily from the amount of pain he was experiencing and the effort it took to support himself…no thanks to an annoyed Reid. Fucking jackass.

"Ow, it hurts," Tyler whined in drunken stupor.

Reid stared at him with some amusement. Baby boy was totally wasted and Reid was almost sure it was his fault. Okay, it was his fault, but school had just started, and he hadn't seen his friend touch a drink once yet. It was time to change that…even if it was Monday morning. Oh, Tyler's eyes were going to be so bloodshot in class, it wasn't even funny. Usually, Reid would just skip the day if he ever got drunk on a school night, but he knew as well as anyone that Tyler would NOT skip no matter the damage. The guy had an enormous amount of willpower that rivalled Caleb's. Reid quickly changed his amused expression to one of annoyance, "Oh stop being a pussy. Just suck it up and deal with it."

"Hey, did you hear the door shut?"

"Just shut up, Ty, and hurry up," Reid retorted, recording the moment with his phone. Pogue and Caleb were going to laugh their asses off when they saw this.

A few more minutes of bitching assumed, thanks to Reid, before Tyler couldn't take it anymore. He glared at Reid, and in a flash, his eyes enveloped into a sheet of black and Reid was sent flying against one of the shower stalls. They didn't make too much noise, though there was a slight rumble in the floor. It didn't matter. People would probably think it was Mark or Patrick doing their weirdass drug experiments again.

"Dude, what the fuck was that?" Reid asked, clearly astonished and pissed off beyond all belief. Before he could retaliate, he noticed Tyler passed out on the floor. Poor boy was so tired, drunk and beat up that he couldn't even handle using just once.

Reid sighed, picking himself off the floor and walking over to Tyler. He turned off the shower and kneeled down beside his friend. In an instant, he slapped Tyler right across the face. "Wake up, sunshine."

Tyler winced, sighing loudly as Reid pulled him up. To Reid's satisfaction, Tyler was able to walk…sort of.

The boys exited the shower stalls, dragging their feet across the hall. They twitched. Lucy and Anna were present as well, looking somewhat stunned by their appearance.

Tyler frowned at the memory, wondering why the girls were so surprised. They must have seen him drunk before, right? He shook his head, not particularly wanting to start off the day with them in thought. He quickly prepared himself for the school day, dousing his eyes with eye-drops to cease the bloodshot look he was sporting at the moment. Reid had already left, probably scoping out Paige to explain how he wasn't making out with another girl last night. Idiot.

He left his room, stretching his arms out. A satisfying crack was heard before he continued his journey to homeroom. Out of the corner of his eye, he spied Lucy talking with her cousin, Aaron. She seemed to be explaining something to him, though her giggles were getting the best of her. For once—and Tyler was pretty sure he was still hung over—Aaron and Lucy Abbot did not look like a complete jackasses. He shook his head. Definitely hung over. He dragged his ass to first period Literature, hoping his hangover would leave by then…

Yeah right.

Four hours later…

"Wow, you look like shit, Ty," Caleb commented with a grin, as he seated himself in front of Tyler in their booth in the lounge/cafeteria. "Long night?"

"You don't even know the half of it," Tyler replied breathily, resting his head on his folded arms.

"What's wrong with, baby boy?" Pogue inquired, sitting beside Caleb.

"Hangover," Caleb answered.

"What's up, fellas?" Reid.

God, Tyler sighed, why did they all have to come at the same time?

"Wow, that's some bruise, reid," Pogue smirked, poking at the purpled skin on the side of Reid's forehead. "Where'd you get that?"

"Oh, this thing?" Reid pointed to the damage, his voice full of sarcasm. "It was a thank-you gift from Tyler, after I dragged his wasted ass back to the dorms last night."

Pogue grinned wickedly. "He punched you?"

"He used," Reid smirked, expecting Caleb to bitch at any moment.

"Well, that explains why everyone was complaining about the broken shower board," Pogue nodded his head.

Tyler groaned, "Reid…you promised not to tell."

"Where and when?" Caleb sighed.

"Oh, planning the next shindig, are we?" Anna Daniels smiled ruefully, planting her ass beside Pogue on the big booth.

Lucy followed suit, sitting beside Reid. "I wonder what activities they'll be performing…"

Caleb rolled his eyes, subsequently narrowing them on the girls. "What do you two want?"

"A lot of things you don't have," Anna retorted slyly, eyeing him.

"But, that's not the point," Lucy signalled for Anna to quit it, trying to steer the conversation. "We've come here to strike a deal, and it would be in your best interest if you agreed."

"Like hell." Reid rolled his eyes.

"Don't start with me, blondie," Anna glared, "or else last night's 'incident' gets popularized by word of mouth."

Reid and Tyler froze, and the girls could tell they hit a soft spot. Caleb looked like he was about to have a hernia, whilst Pogue was composed, yet concentrated.

Tyler had never been so afraid to ask. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, we think you know very well what we're talking about," Lucy folded her arms with a triumphant smile. The fags of Ipswich were finally going to get their just rewards. She felt bad for exploiting their sexuality, but she knew she really wasn't going to do anything to hurt them emotionally. It was just fun pretending. "Last night, shower stalls, you and your blonde friend playing a little rough…and come to think of it, no one really knows how that shower board in the boy's showers just 'fell off' this morning."

"Christ," Caleb muttered under his breath, trying not to freak out. In the span of two to three weeks, a total of four girls had managed to get heads up on the covenant OF SILENCE, including Kate and Sarah.

"Yeah, could you guys not 'do it' in a public place next time? It's kind of…disturbing," Anna shuddered, recalling the unfortunate noises she had heard the night before. She felt nauseous. But, on the plus side, she was pretty sure Pogue and Caleb were gay as well, judging by their obviously affected expressions and egos.

"Yes, could you?" Caleb mocked, glaring at the boys. Pissed off didn't even begin to explain how he was feeling, much less looking.

"They shouldn't have even been in the guys' washroom to begin with," Reid retorted, his temper making an appearance.

Tyler narrowed his eyes down at the girls. "Why were you in there anyway?"

"Well, we heard some voices…"

"The door was shut. Nice try, Daniels," Reid scoffed.

"Well, it was kind of hard not to hear you," Lucy chuckled, retraining her full blown laughter, "You guys were pretty loud."

"The ground even shook," Anna joked, but the four boys seemed to take it seriously.

Reid and Tyler visibly paled. The girls weren't just fucking around. They had actually seen them using…

"You used in public AND you caused a scene. Nice, guys," Caleb huffed, massaging his temples.

"Used…So that's what they're calling it nowadays," Lucy whispered to Anna, who snickered. If having sexual intercourse with an individual was referred to as 'using', the girls must have 'used' quite a lot then.

"Calm down, Caleb," Pogue patted his friend on the shoulder, even if he was visibly annoyed by Reid and Tyler at the moment. "We'll figure this out."

"Yes, we will, won't we?" Anna chimed in. "I mean, there's a reason why the video's not posted around the Internet right now."

At this, all four of them snapped their necks upward in alarm…even Lucy.

"Video?"

"Uh huh," Lucy joined in on the lie. This was getting good. "As much as you'd like to believe it, we're not horrible people. We're not going to rat you guys out to the world…"

"…unless you give us reason to," Anna informed them. "We just want to ask a few questions, get you to do a few favours, and you're off the hook."

"Oh fuck that!"

"Shut up, Reid," the other three boys barked.

"Okay, what do you want to know?" Tyler pressed with a determined voice.

"We'll start simple," Anna stressed the word. "Who else knows?"

"Kate…and Sarah," Caleb responded reluctantly. Everyone was reluctant to answer the questions.

"Wow, two weeks and new girl gets the heads up? That's pretty honest of you." Anna hid her grin for the next one. "So, Carmen and Paige have no idea?"

"Well, you can't exactly tell a full-fledged secret to just anyone…or else it might end up in the wrong hands," Tyler stressed with a glare.

"No offence, but I think that's the stupidest thing I ever heard," Anna scoffed. How could they carry on fake relationships with girls, knowing they were just going to break hearts in the end? "I mean, if it were Lucy and I-"

"-and thank the fucking Lord it's not you two-"

"-we wouldn't care," Anna glared at Reid, "but we've been friends with Carmen and Paige for some time, and although we could care less about them right now, we should let you know that no matter what time you tell them, they will freak."

"I know you think we're just bullshitting," Lucy scratched the back of her head, actually being serious for once, "but, look at it this way: As soon as Anna and I were labelled sluts, skanks, or whatever trivial high school label, they had no trouble dropping us and leaving for you guys. Just imagine what will happen when they find out about you guys…"

Anna laughed, "And the names they'll be calling you. Oh snap, maybe we should tell everyone…"

The four boys leered, not amused with the girls' comical take on their secret.

"Kidding, of course," Lucy smiled widely. "One last question for now: did you guys always know you were…?" Gay.

"Pretty much, but it's complicated…The—it's passed down from our fathers," Pogue replied vaguely, choosing his words carefully. After all, they were in a public space, "The first sons of our families are born with it."

A clueless expression settled on Lucy's face, trying to decipher what they had just said. "So, it's genetic?" She had no idea that homosexuality depended on your genes. She wanted to ask if the trait was dominant or recessive, but decided to ask later.

"I guess you could say that," Pogue shrugged.

Lucy nodded her head, still confused. "Well, I think we've tortured you boys enough for the day… We'll talk more later."

"And we WILL talk," Anna reconfirmed her best friend's statement. "But, rest assured; your secret's safe with us…for now."

And with that, the girls walked away calmly.

Caleb, on the other hand, looked like he was about to explode. Covenant of silence, my ass.

"You guys have five seconds."

As if on cue, two other pairs of feet were heard shuffling out the door moments later.

ROMANCE NOTE:

Not sure what the pairings should be, so I'm going to do a vote to see where my audience is at. Just give a shout out on the couples you want!

P.S. THERE IS ALSO THE OPTION OF THE GIRLS NOT HAVING ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE GUYS! So, you may choose that if you'd like. I'm also leaning towards that option if everyone's undecided about it.

CHEERS!
