Patricia eventually decided to think of her relationship with Jerome first, since she had known him much longer than Eddie she might as well go on and get it done. The first thing that came into Patricia's mind was when her mum dropped her talentless eleven year old daughter off at the House of Anubis.

"Honey you'll love this boarding school, Mummy made sure it was just the place for you." Patricia's mum explained as if she was speaking to a baby as far as Patricia was concerned but immediately let the thought slide.

"You promise?"

"Of course, now it's time you see the marvelous school in person." her mum stated as Patricia got out of the car and began her way towards her belongings in the trunk.

As Patricia finally managed to get all her belongings together to be able to carry, her mum gave her a somewhat heartfelt farewell and within five minutes of arriving, she was back on the road now free of her children, since Patricia's twin sister Piper had been sent to an advanced music school three days before.

Patricia struggled for a good ten minutes to somehow reach the front door of Anubis House, and since other students had been arriving to the various houses she was getting more stares than help which made her that much more angry that her mum left so quickly.

"Need some help there?" a boy with shaggy dirty blonde hair remarked suddenly nearly causing Patricia to jump out of her skin.

"Uhh..sure thanks." Patricia said softly.

"So what house are you staying in?" the boy asked trying to keep the conversation going.

"Anubis..what about you?"

"Same..now you have officially met one of your housemates, name's Jerome Clarke." Jerome greeted as the two eleven year old residents entered the House of Anubis.

"Patricia Williamson, good to meet you Jerome." Patricia answered politely as she and Jerome went upstairs to set Patricia's belongings into her room for the upcoming term.

Patricia had a slight smile across her face as she recalled the memory, sure it wasn't much but for some reason it always had stuck out to her when she thought back to her first term at Anubis House. Immediately after the flashback started to drift off from Patricia's mind, another one made its way through..the day Jerome finally made the real Patricia come to life when everyone was around thirteen.

"So Patty, where do you want to go for our girl's night out tonight?" Joy questioned her best friend at the breakfast table that crisp fall morning.

"You can pick this time Joy.." Patricia responded softly as she continued to eat the bowl of cereal in front of her.

"You always say that, let's do something different this time..please Patricia?"

"It doesn't matter what we do really..I'm going to go get dressed okay?" answered Patricia as she left the table with nothing left to say, which resulted in confused stares around the room.

"Was I too pushy?" murmured Joy who then sounded guilty.

"No you were fine Joy, Patricia's just not a morning person." Fabian assured her.

"I think it's more than that Fabian..I'm going to see what's really going on." Jerome suddenly spoke up as he too left the table.

"He's so into her.." stated Amber with a clap of her hands.

Jerome made his way upstairs as quietly as possible, which for him wasn't that difficult since he was constantly pulling pranks on just about everyone. Once he reached Patricia's room which she shared with Joy, he opened the door slightly to see what the brunette was really up to. What Jerome caught sight of was completely not what the mischievous blonde thought would ever happen to the quiet, keep to herself Patricia.

She was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking over the clothes she laid down on the light purple quilt. One outfit was something Jerome considered to be a Patricia classic get-up, a simple light blue t-shirt with thin white stripes and a pair of dark denim shorts, along with a simple necklace that read her name across the front and a white pair of sandals to finish the look off. The other option caught him off guard, if he saw this anywhere near Patricia he would've guessed someone paid her to even consider putting it on. It started with a dark blue leopard shirt that darkened to black as it went down, then there was a pair of jet black skinny jeans with a silver belt alongside them. To complete the look, there was a neon blue hair extension, a pair of spiked dark blue ball earrings, and a pair of combat boots.

"Is today the day to try something new?" Jerome heard Patricia mumble as she glanced over the two choices.

"No, today's not the day.." Patricia decided moments later as she started to hide the daring outfit away in her closet.

"Why not?" Jerome burst out as the brunette turned around to see his shocked expression.

"How long have you been hiding there?" Patricia demanded.

"That doesn't matter..why don't you try something new..who cares what people think?"

"I do!"

"You shouldn't, you have the right to do something new for yourself."

"I.."

"You what Patricia?" Jerome questioned.

"I don't want people's opinions of me to change..I've done all this to belong and if I do change I'll lose all the people I've worked so hard to get to like me." Patricia admitted.

"If people really do like you Patricia, they'll like you just the same..and if not then they missed out on getting to know a great girl."

"That's so cheesy..but you're right, thanks Clarke." Patricia replied.

"Did you just call me Clarke?"

"I did slime ball, whether you like it or not."

"Slime ball...alright if you want to give me nicknames I'll do the same for you."

"Fine Clarke, now go before I smack you." Patricia remarked with a smirk.

"Alright I'm going..Trixie." said Jerome with a small grin as he left the girl without another word before she was given the chance to really smack him.

Patricia remembered how she decided to follow the Brit's advice that day and went on to become the sarcastic, brave, and loudmouth Patricia her friends learned to love more than the hidden girl she worked so hard to portray.

"Maybe Jerome's the guy I'm meant to be with." thought Patricia aloud as she suddenly found herself looking around her bedroom in her apartment for reasons she honestly didn't even know.

Her eye was then caught on a picture hanging on the beige wall in front of her, it was the picture she and Eddie took the day of graduation while they were in their caps and gowns, hers the dark red shade of the school uniform while his was a dark charcoal gray, again being another school color.

"Or maybe not.." Patricia mumbled with a small smile then showing on her face.
