Patricia's POV
I am walking all by myself back to the Anubis House from school. The others are busy doing their own things. Amber and Alfie are at the mall, dating. Well not actually, Amber wants to shop and Alfie's job as usual is to carry the things that Amber buys. I pity him you know.
Mara and Mick are at the field, dating while training. Nina is talking to Mr. Winkler about the presentation she is going to make for the year's Parents Day well they moved this day earlier. Last year's presentation was great.
Joy, Fabian, and Jerome are staying in school because of their unfinished Biology research that is due today.
I enter the house and I see Trudy…
"Sweetie, I'm just going to the grocery. Victor is out and will come back later this evening, so if you are hungry I made some toast there, okay?" she said while she is zipping her bag
"Sure Trudy, Bye!" I waved goodbye
"Bye, Patricia!" As she opened the door
Trudy left and I am all alone in the house.
Finally some peace! I head straight to the living room and throw myself into the couch. God, I am freakin' tired, P.E then Biology Test and project what else is in store for me. It looks like the teachers prepared many projects for us this year, I mean it is only the first week! Mr. Sweet gave as a project to work on also Ms. Andrews. I think…no I need a rest!
Well it has been only three weeks after the start of classes; the Cup-of Ankh thing is still fresh from are memories. We all agreed to forget it during vacation, but as soon as we stepped in the House that is the first thing, we talk about. Joy is back, that is a good thing, but the disturbing thing is she told us about the secret society so I think Sibuna still lives. In addition, the fact that Rufus Zeno may find out what Fabian did down the cellar, that he did not drink the elixir really still worries me. He may come back and this time I do not know what will he bring with him, but I am sure it will be creepier than the fireflies he brought last year.
Okay so, I'm really worn-out….That's all I can think of now… This moment is an opportunity. I am giving myself some peace while the others are out…I will just close my eyes….
Chapter 2
Jerome's POV
Well I am done with my research; I am just going to pass it to Mr. Sweet. I leave Fabian and Joy in the classroom and go straight to Mr. Sweet's Office.
Joy's POV
Jerome left, so it is just Fabian and me. Well I know he and Nina are dating, but I confess I still like him, so it is somewhat awkward being with him.
"Hey Joy, can I borrow your highlighter?" Fabian asked me
"Oh sure…Why not?" I replied
Well, Fabian and I are close friends and I do not want to lose that friendship. It is complicated.
Alfie's POV
Hell! I am so tired this is so heavy. I admit being Amber's boyfriend is hard. I am not like Mick who is all strong and sporty, hell I am so thin.
"Boo! Look at that shoes there its super cute." Amber squealed
"Where?" I asked
"There, come let's take a look!"
Then she pulled me straight to the shop. Oh God, please help me!
Jerome's POV
"Mr. Sweet, I'm done with my research." I said as I hand over the paper
"Okay."
"Thanks, Mr. Sweet."
"Jerome, wait! May I ask you a favor?"
"Sure."
"Can you give these quizzes to Mara and Patricia?"
"Uh…oh…yeah sure, what can go wrong." As I take the papers from his hands, "I mean of course. Mr. Sweet." I leave the office.
Well, I moved on with the Mara stuff besides she is happy with Mick so I'm happy for them but I don't go close to Mara often, I just don't feel it, it still seems a little bit awkward."
I went to the field and see Mara and Mick kissing…
"Sup Campbell, Sorry if I interrupted your sweet moment."
"No, it's alright. What do you need?" he asked
"I'm just giving something to Mara." I said
"What's that!" his voiced rose
"Easy, Mr. Sweet asked me to give this quiz to Mara and also this other on here to Patricia." I said calmly
"Oh, okay then." He replied
"Thanks Jerome." Said Mara
"No problem…I'm going back to the house, I'm giving this to Patricia." I said as I leave
"Thanks mate!" said Mick
Nina's POV
"Thank You Mr. Winkler, I'll try to make something greater than last year." I said as I put my notebook and pen back in my bag pack.
"Okay, Bye Nina!" Mr. Winkler said
After talking to Mr. Winkler, I go straight to the classroom to meet Fabian. I find him and Joy alone inside the classroom, Jerome is gone. I admit I am slightly uneasy when Joy is with Fabian, I know they are just friends but there still something that really makes me feel uneasy. I think Joy likes Fabian; I am not saying that Joy is going to take Fabian away from me. I am afraid that Fabian might like her deep inside his heart.
"Hey Nina!" Fabian said as he walks to me. I brushed that thought away and greeted him.
"Oh, Hi Fabes!" I said, "And Joy too!"
"Hello Nina!" she said smiling
"I'm done with my research; I'm just waiting for Joy to finish so we can pass it to Mr. Sweet."
"Oh, well-", I replied forcing a tiny smile
Joy's POV
I can see that Nina is not quite happy about what Fabian said… I understand her.
"Fabian, It's alright you can go with Nina." I said
"Are you sure?" asked Fabian
"Yes." I replied
Nina's POV
I think I am being too protective and selfish…
"Oh, it's okay for me! We can wait for you." I said
"No, you don't have to, it's okay."
"It's really okay." I said as I sit in the chair next from Joy's chair
Fabian follows and sits down next to me.
Jerome's POV
I am walking to the House alone today. Alfie is with Amber again naturally. I am a bit of a loner now, fortunately Patricia, Fabian, Nina, and Joy sometimes goes with me, not now of course. It is a pretty boring day and I am feeling sleepy.
Amber's POV
"Boo, you can go to the house first I'm just gonna go to the salon and get my hair done." I said to Alfie obviously is very tired now.
"Huh? It's alright." He said
"Go home, I'm alright. I know you're tired." I said as I put my hands in his face. "Just take the bags with you."
"Okay, Bye. Take care." He said as he kissed me in the cheeks
"Yes, I will. Bye Love You!"
Patricia's POV
After 20 minutes, I hear the door close, but I just ignored it. Then I feel something drop its bag beside the couch. I open my eyes and see Jerome Clarke.
"What'cha doin' Trixie?" as he loosen his necktie
"Sleeping until you disturb me." I mocked, "Where are the others?"
"They're still at school. I leave them at school. I finished early." He said while stretching his arms and yawns
"Tired, Slimeball?"
"Yes, really drained."
Then he throws himself into the inner side of the couch and obviously rest beside me.
"Hey Slimeball, Go away! I was first!" I protested
"I can't I'm stuck! He taunted, "Oh Trixie, apparently you've gained a lot of weight you're becoming fat [laughs], see I can't get up, I'm stuck!"
"Jerk! I am not fat! You're just too big, that's all! Now get up!" I refute
"Not until you kiss me!" He mischievously said sticking his lips out
"Jerk!" as I punched him in the stomach, to which I think he became annoyed
"Ouch Trixie! Can you just give me at least one minute of peace! I'm really sleepy" he stressed
"I'm sleepy too! " As I remove my watch and put it in the coffee table, "You're not the only one, you can go to your bed-"I turned my look to the coffee table to him and see his eyes closed.
Jerome's POV
I just ignored Trixie and closed my eyes. I am sure she would not bother. Then after a few seconds, it became quiet. I tilt my head to see Trixie who has now closed her eyes. She suddenly turns her head to the right, which is to mine. Our heads are only inches apart, and I can feel her breathing. I absentmindedly stared at her for a while. I notice she is cute when she is sleeping, she is really beautiful…her lips looks so soft and her smile is breath taking…Wait, did I just say Patricia is cute, beautiful and has good lips. Oh no, wake up Jerome! Wake up! Oh, I forgot I am sleepy…but I am not like this…weird…RRRRR… Shut up! Jerome Clarke! Just sleep and do not look at Trixie. I close my eyes.
Patricia's POV
I am slightly falling asleep, my eyes are closed, but suddenly I felt someone breathing in front of me. I open my eyes and see Jerome Clarke's head is inches to mine. I just stared at him and I completely do not know why I am doing it. I just noticed that Jerome is somewhat handsome…and charming…wait what am I saying…IMPOSSIBLE!
I fiercely shook my head…and wiped that absurd thought in my mind.
Suddenly Jerome slowly opens his eyes…and stares at me. I unconsciously stared at him too. We stayed like that for a few seconds…
Jerome's POV
I open my eyes and see Trixie is looking at me. I stare at her with no apparent reason; it is as if my body is controlling or something…She stays like that too… after a few seconds…
I feel like someone is pushing me to Trixie…and me respond to it… I go closer to Trixie a bit every second and she too is doing it. Then suddenly something unexpected happened…I kissed Patricia Williamson directly in the lips. MY FIRST KISS!
