Mackenzie Barlow | 18 | FC: Emily Browning | Open
Their relationship:
When Mackenzie first met Landon, the new kid, she just knew it was fate. They bumped into each other and as her many books fell from her arms, it was as if something inside her snapped and the wedding bells in her head just began ringing harmoniously. Ever since then, Mackenzie has always had this crush on the ever mysterious Landon Hart. She did everything she could to get closer to him and, by luck, she succeeded. The two became wonderful friends easily. Their friendship was the kind that went through every single phase possible. It went through the early awkward stage, the more-like-siblings-than-friends stage, and, of course, the friends with benefits stage. One phase it didn’t go through, however, is the one where they both fall in love with each other. For Mackenzie, it was love at first sight. But for Landon, it was simply a great friendship.
The Connection:
As a part of the Barlow family, Mackenzie grew up unable to take no for an answer. And even from Landon, she never has gotten a rejection or denial. She’s never told him about her feelings, anyway. Things get rough when he tells her that he’s leaving the country, though.
For so many years now, the two have been absolutely inseparable. Though Mackenzie was quite the popular student and was chased around by a lot of guys, her eyes were only for Landon. She followed him wherever he went. She joined clubs he was a member of. She started eating lunch with him instead of her other friends. She became the outcast among her group of friends while she and Landon soared to the top of the food chain together. And it was all for the sake of her so-called love. Landon, on the other hand, has barely noticed this.
Mackenzie did her research and quickly convinced Landon to put her name in as his Connection. Things were going well. She gets to visit him in the House of Eovi once a week and they’re still quite the inseparable couple. But what happens when Mackenzie realizes that Landon is slowly falling for someone else? A contestant, no less. Will Mackenzie be able to resist her urges and let Landon be happy? Or will she sneak inside the House one night and simply rip the other girl’s head off? Figuratively, of course.
