Author's Note: Hello! I wrote this story a while back. This is my first TTIHAY fan fiction. This takes place after Patrick and Kat ride off into the sunset. There are a lot of Katrick fans that might hate me and this story. Me, personally I don't like Kat on the show. She was better in the movie. I think Kat should move to Cuba since she has a big obsession with it. I added a new character and the reason why Patrick is a little out of character is because I'm trying to show what he was like before his best friend moved away. He wasn't such a badass. I will try my best to have a Bianca storyline. Thank you for reading this!! Enjoy!

10 Things I Hate About You Chapter 1

Kat held on tight to Patrick and listened to the wind blowing in her face. The adrenaline was rushing through her system. She didn't know where she was going and she didn't care. Though, she did have a feeling that they were going to the beach. The motorcycle was brought to a halt on the end of the path. The sun was blazing hot and the ocean waves tempted her, told her to come for a swim. The sand was warm and with each step you sunk into its warmness. It felt so good. This definitely beat sitting in a classroom working on boring worksheets. Kat wasn't getting any younger. Why didn't she live adventures like this every day? Patrick was amused by her rolling in the sand and jumping in the water.

Patrick finally asked the question that was on his mind since they got to the beach. "Why did you do it?" The question steered her attention away from her drying herself off. "Do what?" Was he talking about coming to the beach with him? If he thinks that was her motive for leaving school that he is sadly mistaken. "Walk out of school and risk getting suspended. I thought you were obsessed with going to Brown." Brown meant the world to her but so did making a difference.

"I think it's more important to stand up for what I believe." "Yea", Patrick said as he pulled out his phone to look at all of his missed messages piling up on his phone. What a pain.

"What do you mean by yea?" she said in an annoyed tone. He looked at her and was getting ready for another one of Kat's blow outs. "I'm just agreeing with you, chill". She stood up and starting speaking angrily as her temper sparked, "No I will not chill. All you have to say is yea? Great! I'm talking about real issues and you can't even stop texting all of your girlfriends. Why did you bring me here anyway? You obviously don't care about making a difference or anything important. What did you want to do have fun? Or hook up with me?" Patrick shoved his phone in his pocket. "Where the hell did that come from? I said one word and you go off on me and accuse me of trying to hook up with you." "So that must be a yes."

She turned away from him. The last thing she wanted to see was his face. He spoke as calmly as he could but anger was in his tone with a little accusation. "You always do this. Then whenever we are around each other we fight!" She turned around and raised her voice to just below a yell. "That's why it would never work out between us!" Patrick had enough and started stomping towards his motorcycle. All he wanted to do was get out of here as quickly as possible. Kat was right behind him. "What are you doing?" He got on his motorcycle. "I'm tired of you always changing your mind and starting fights. I'm dropping you off at your car." She snatched the helmet and put her on her head. She reluctantly held on to Patrick and they drove back to school. An hour or two ago this was them but they were happy. Now she just wanted to go home.

Patrick left the second she got off the motorcycle and returned his helmet. Kat got in her car and took a deep breath. She drove home silently not bothering to turn on the radio. She silently sneaked into her house not that it would do any good. Her dad would find out anyway. "Don't bother. Dad is at work. You're safe." Bianca was on the couch watching her.

She hopped off and ran over to Kat. "So, give me the details! Where did you go!? " "We went to the beach." Bianca looked at Kat curiously. "That's romantic." "It would have been more fun if he wasn't there. We got in another fight and he even had the nerve to say that I always change my mind." Bianca started laughing. "Ok, what are you laughing at?" "You're kidding me right. You do change your mind. One day you like him, and then you hate him. It's quite annoying sometimes. No wonder you scare guys away. "It's his fault" Kat said accusingly. "Is it?"

Patrick and Kat stopped speaking for a while. Neither of them phoned each other during their suspension. Kat was tempted to "accidentally" phone him, but she decided against it. It's no big deal. It's not like she is into him. Kat finally went back to school and of course she saw Patrick everywhere, or so it seemed. Kat went to lunch to talk to Mandella.

"I'm surprised. Patrick hasn't talked to me in a few days. I think it's a new record." "Yea, he isn't even looking over either. Maybe you scared him away." Ok I seriously doubt that. Kat couldn't have scared Patrick Verona away, could she? Mandella and Kat watched Patrick from across the lunch tables. "Look at him, trying to look cool and mysterious." Kat said this very bitterly and annoyed. Patrick threw something away and then started looking through his bag, doing so without paying attention to Kat. A girls voice rang loud and clear. It was soft as silk and sweet as nature. "Patrick!" Kat was expecting some blonde bimbo to go up to Patrick and start laughing stupidly. And then they would give each other their numbers. Blah Blah Blah. It was way too predictable. Wait a second. This isn't right..

Instead of a blonde bimbo, a beautiful brunette girl came running to Patrick. Her hair was shoulder length. She was wearing a white halter top and a sky blue cover up. Her jeans were plain and she was sporting some white flip flops. She didn't have a purse, but did have a messenger bag. A real smile spread across his face. He lifted her off her feet and swung her around. She started laughing softly. He put her down and they hugged for what seemed like ten minutes. "Who's that??!!"

Patrick sat down with the girl at his lunch table. "Emily! When did you get here?" "Last night! I couldn't wait to see you. I miss the old days." He smiled again. "What are you doing here anyways? Are you staying?" he said curiously. She tried to keep a straight face but a smile kept creeping up. "I was thinking of moving here. The rich life isn't my style. I rather be here hanging out with you then living a gossip girl life. Seriously you should see the people I go to school with. But dad wanted to move so badly. I had to go. My master plan is complicated. I can't afford an apartment. My dad refuses to pay for one."

Patrick came up with an idea! "What if you move into my house? My mom won't mind. She loves you like a daughter." "Are you sure she wouldn't mind?" Patrick shook his head. Emily stood up and hugged Patrick from across the table. Emily started getting up to leave. "Just try not to have girls coming in and out at midnight." They laughed together before they walked away from the table. Patrick looked over at Emily.

Emily proposed an idea. "How about I come over later and have dinner with you and your mom? I think it would be awkward if I moved in and she didn't have any clue about our plan." Patrick reluctantly agreed. He was only doing this for her because he never brings a girl home to meet his mom. "I'll be over at 6?" He walked her to her car. After they hugged goodbye, Patrick started walking back to school. He spotted Kat. She turned away and started walking away. Patrick was so annoyed. Why do so many girls stalk him?

At 6'o clock, Emily arrived at Patrick's house. She was wearing a dark red dress and was carrying some flowers. Patrick's mom was so happy to see Emily. Dinner was mostly Emily and Patrick's mom (Andrea) talking. Patrick finally blurted out the plan and at first Andrea wasn't into the idea, but then changed her mind. She was so happy to have another girl in the house. The rest of the night was spent watching old comedy movies.

It was time for Emily to drive home. Patrick didn't want her to go. He missed this. They walked outside the door. "Thanks for having me over. I can't wait to live here." For someone who is no stranger to relationships, he didn't know what to do. They looked at each other and inched closer. This was really happening. This is when there is an interruption like his mom walking to the door to say goodbye or to give her leftovers. But there were no interruptions.

Their lips touched very gently but it was sweet. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, his around her waist. The kiss felt right. She stepped back smiling. "You have no idea how long I have wanted to do that." They laughed softly. "Me too", Patrick said softly. Emily waved and walked to her car. She looked back before she got in her car and drove away.

Andrea walked out with leftovers. Patrick looked over. "Thanks for waiting to come out." She smiled. "You're welcome."

Bianca was sitting on her bed with Joey. Walter was behind her door listening.

Bianca: Cameron was my friend. I feel so bad.

Walter: Bianca, you better be studying, not having sex. Babies can become really big!

Bianca was disgusted and at the same time embarrassed at what her dad was saying.

Joey: I could talk to him.

Bianca: I don't think he'd like that.

Joey: B, let me help.

Bianca: Ok.

Joey leans in for a kiss but is interrupted by Walter. "Diseases can be transmitted!"

Kat was lying on her bed. When Kat heard a noise and ran to her window. No one was there. "This is ridiculous. I'm going crazy. I will just talk to Patrick after he goes though his annual 7 am break up. This is no big deal.
