-:+:- Chapter One: How We Met -:+:-

Reid Garwin was fast asleep when the ringing of his cell phone woke him. Letting out a groan he reached for the load device and answered, "What baby boy?"

"You still asleep man? We're going to be late man," his best friend Tyler Simms said on the other line.

"I'm up I'm up," Reid growled.

"Right, well I'll be there in twenty so you better be ready," Tyler told him before handing up.

Twenty minutes later, Reid got into the black hummer is friend owned and they headed off to Spencer Academy. "What time are we heading to the Dells tonight," asked Reid.

"Caleb and Pogue are meeting us at the cliffs around ten," answered Tyler.

"I can't believe this is going to be the last summer party," Reid sighed. "At least this gives me a chance to check out the new freshman."

"Reid," Tyler warned.

"What? I can't help that the girls are just naturally attracted to me," the blond smirked.

Tyler just rolled his eyes as he pulled into the parking lot. He knew how his friend treated the girls he went out with. He had often tried to get him to change his ways – to settle with a real girlfriend. But Reid was Reid and it wasn't as if the girls he dated didn't know what they were getting themselves in to. Tyler knew Reid was always up front with them about not wanting any sort of commitment but they all thought the same thing; they would be the ones to tame the Spencer bad boy. It wasn't their fault it never happened.

The first day of school at Spencer was basically a day to get your dorms set up; moving things where you wanted and putting up posters. Classes were a little shorter than usually this most teachers just went over course guidelines and the syllabus on the first day. And of course, there was the party at the Dells. It was the biggest party of the year right before students actually had to get serious about classes.

After an easy day of classes Tyler and Reid headed off to their dorms; both located on the same floor and right next to each other. Reid tossed his backpack at the foot of his bed and flopped down the bed. Being from wealthy families allowed the boys to get the few single dorms the campus had, which was a perk Reid loved. It came in handy not having to worry about a roommate in the dorm when he invited girls over.

Reid didn't think was tired but as soon as his head hit the soft surface of his bed, he felt himself fading into sleep. A soft voice was calling out his name and Reid could barely just make out the figure of a girl but he already knew how she was. She was his soul mate. Like all of the members of the covenant before him they all had a soul mate that was their escape from the addiction of the power. "Reid," she called out again.

Suddenly, Reid woke up gasping for breath. He lay back down with his eyes closed as his breathing evened out. Again he had been so close to seeing her face, holding her in his dreams but like always the always ended too soon.

Reid's phone began ringing from its place on his nightstand. "Hey," he answered.

"Hey man, you ready for the party," asked Tyler.

"Yeah bro, I'll be ready in ten," Reid told him before hanging up.

With a quick change of clothes Reid was ready. He grabbed his phone and keys before heading out to the school lot to meet Tyler at his truck.

"Let's go baby boy. The ladies are waiting," Reid smirked.

"Yeah yeah," Tyler chuckled, getting in the car.

Parked cars were already scattered in the woods where the students had parked. Tyler drove farther out and parked near the cliffs where they were meeting Caleb and Pogue.

"Hey fellas," Reid called out when they reached the other two sons. "How's the party?"

"Don't know. Just got here," Pogue answered.

"Well then let's drop in," the blond smirked before his eyes went black and he leaned off the cliff.

"Reid," Caleb called out behind him.

"Come on Caleb. It's not like it's going to kill us," smirked Pogue. "Yet," and he followed Reid off the cliff.

"Hell yeah," Tyler yelled before following suit.

Caleb landed a few feet away from his brothers and they all walked towards the party. Pogue spotted his long time girlfriend Kate Tunney talking to a new girl and led the boys towards her.

"Hey," she smiled when she saw him and ran into his arms. "You're late."

"I know. I had a thing with the family," he explained.

"Guys, this is my new roommate Sarah," she said pointing towards the blond girl. "Sarah, this is Pogue Perry, Tyler Simms and…"

"Garwin, Reid Garwin," interrupted Reid. "You know, Sarah was my grandmother's name. You remind me…"

"Caleb Danvers," said Caleb, cutting in. "And you don't bring my grandmother to mind at all."

"Good," said Sarah, letting out an awkward giggle.

Soon Kira came up and before anyone knew it, Aaron and his gang followed. They were about to get into a fight when the DJ announced the cops had been spotted coming their way. Everyone rushed to their in order to escape being caught. Thankfully Reid was driving so there was no risk of being pulled over. They got back to the dorms late.

Reid was walking towards his dorm when he noticed the new girl standing the hall only in her towel. She was freaking out about something in the showers. Rolling his eyes, Reid led her back inside and showed her that there was no one else in there.

He was just to his dorms when he spotted a girl tripping over her feet, trying to walk down the hall. She was probably drunk from the party and her friends had ditched her outside the dorms.

"Hey, you alright," Reid asked as she fell on her butt. Reid instantly recognized the shade of blond hair from his dreams. He left himself being pulled towards and then she spoke.

"Yes, I'm fine," she giggled in her drunken laugh. "I dropped my key," she sighed sadly. That voice! It was the same one from his dreams. This was her. This was the girl that had haunted him for the last four months – his soul mate. The other half of his soul.
