So, I have a new story. This entire story is told in Patricia's POV, unless it says someone else. Hope you like it!
Chapter 1
Hair dye.
Yes, it's probably ridiculous, but hair dye is something we have in common. I know that Eddie's hair is brown, just like mine, and it's obvious that my hair isn't red. So yeah, as stupid as it sounds, changing the natural color of our hair is something we have in common.
What's stupider, is the list I'm making. While I'm supposed to be doing my homework, I have flipped to a blank sheet in my notebook, and made a list, titled Things Eddie and I Have In Common. Of course most teens don't do their homework when they're supposed to (even Mara and Fabian do it weeks before they're supposed to), but I'm positive that most teen girls don't write lists about what they have in common with a boy. Even if said boy is the best looking person on the planet. Yes, I, Patricia Williamson actually find Eddie Miller attractive. And it seems like he's into me, but it's hard to tell.
Exhibit A: Eddie flirts with every girl in the school.
Exhibit B: Every girl in the school flirts with Eddie.
And If those don't make it hard enough to tell if he likes me or not, when Eddie talks to me, it's more... Friendly, than the way he talks to everybody else. More... Special. But I don't know if it means anything. Although, I do know that it seems closer than the way he flirts with the other girls at school. Even though it's Yacker, he still has a nickname for me. And even though it sounds like I'm throwing up, I love it when he calls me that.
When I heard the door open, I quickly tried to hide my notebook. "Patricia we... What are you writing?" Joy asked, before running over, and grabbing my notebook, despite my protests. Joy soon found the page, and laughed.
"Things Eddie and I Have In Common?" she asked with a mocking, but friendly sneer on her face.
"Oh come on Joy, you know I like him, you don't have to make a big deal over one stupid list I wrote." But that didn't stop her. Smirking, she began to read the list out loud.
"Attitude, Leather Jackets, Hate for Romance, Don't Like Dancing. And... Hair dye?" I groaned as Joy threw the notebook on my bed and burst into laughter. I whacked her in the shoulder with the offensive notebook, and left the room for dinner. Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, Joy had composed herself, and caught up with me.
"You better not say a word to Eddie," I warned her, with a glare. In response, she mimed zipping her lips. I nodded as we entered the dining room.
"Oh there you are lovelies. Come sit down, dinner is ready." Joy rushes over to take a seat next to Fabian, but unlucky for her, he was attached to Nina. And for me, the only seat left is next to Eddie. As I sat down, he gave me a friendly smile which I returned. Unfortunately, he was on the phone with someone from our school.
"Yeah Sarah, I'll see you then." Eddie was silent as Sarah said something, and laughed at whatever it was before replying.
"Don't worry. My lips don't need chapstick. They're already kissable just thinking about you." My stomach dropped. So they were going to be kissing on this date. I've never been kissed before, and I already know that Eddie's kissed hundreds of girls already. And to make it worse, this particular girl was Sarah Oliver. She is so much more prettier than I am, and Eddie has every reason to choose her over me. She has bouncy, blond hair. I have flat, boring dyed-red hair. She has mysterious blue eyes, I have boring green eyes. A pimple wouldn't dare touch her face. I have to work hard every morning to cover my facial blemishes. Sarah is the perfect girl, and with her as Eddie's...Kissing partner, I don't stand a chance.
I stayed silent for the rest of dinner, until Eddie (speak of the devil) decided to have a conversation with me.
"So Yacker, how come you're not yacking like usual?" He asked with that adorable goofy grin of his. It was all I could do to look him in the eye and answer without falling out of my chair.
"I didn't want my yacking to stop you from thinking about your kissing with Sarah." It came out a bit harsher than I intended, and his grin faltered a tiny bit before going back to normal.
And if I thought his goofy grin could almost make me fall over, this was worse. He leaned towards me, so close I could feel his warm breath on my ear and cheek, and said:
"I thought if I couldn't be with you, I might as well try Sarah." I looked up at him in surprise, but he was already taking his plate to the sink. As Eddie exited the dining room, he didn't make eye contact with me, and the casual expression on his face made it seem like he had not just said he wanted to date me.
Everybody, PLEASE REVIEW! I really want to know what you think about my writing. Is it good or not? Should I change something or add something? REVIEW!
