Hey everybody! I'm in the mood for some Peddie, so here we go! (This will be in a different format then last chapter.)

Patricia's POV
It was a regular Friday night at Anubis House. Everybody was sitting with their boyfriend/girlfriend- except for me of course. We were planning for tomorrow, Saturday's, party. I was sitting there, just saying what I didn't like about their ideas. I'm so helpful…
"I think," Amber said, "We should do a pink princess theme! With glitter!"
"Amber," we all say, "No!"
She traced a tear down her cheek and had a little pouty face, but it was actually rather funny. We continued to argue over the food, decorations, and the people we were inviting.
"I hate to interrupt all your laughter, fun, and happiness," said an extremely sarcastic Victor, "But the new resident is here."
We all looked up from the piece of paper that we were writing our ideas on and saw him. Now, I'm not a mushy, gushy, love-at-first-sight kind of girl. Anybody who knows me knows that. But this guy, there was something different about him. His eyes shifted around the room, his face and emotions carefully guarded. But, when our eyes me, we both dropped our guard. Just for a second! And I knew right then that I was falling for this kid. And I didn't even know his name. Who says I'm a hopeless romantic? His eyes seemed to ask if he had met me before, at least he felt the instant connection.
"I'm Eddie." He states plainly, not breaking eye contact with me but talking to everyone. Eddie, what a cut name! Wait- what! I'm Patricia Williamson, not some Amber Millington type obsessed with boys. No no NO.
"Great, another American. Hasn't one been enough?" Jerome exclaims, and then we all go back to planning the party.
Eddie walks over to me and then sits.
"Hello." He says.
"Hi. I'm Patricia." I say nonchalantly, but I'm buzzing on the inside.
"Hey Patricia."
"So, are you going to say something," I find myself saying, "Or sit there making puppy dog eyes at me all night."
"Well aren't you the yacker," Eddie smirks, "I think you've just earned yourself a new nickname, Yacker."
"I don't think so!"
"I'm going to go unpack. Catch ya later, Yacker." Says the guy I like but despise, with a wink.
"Why don't you stay there all night, yeah?" I yell after him, rolling my eyes. That's what I get for thinking he was actually going to like me back. Stupid me. Although, I must say, it was enchanting to meet him. He added a little interest to the night, and I'm blushing thinking about it. I wonder if he feels the same?
At 2am In the Morning!
I find myself lying awake. It's two in the morning for God's sake, why am I up! Then I remember Eddie. Now I'm pacing back and forth, wondering what to do. I wish he was at my door, then again, I could just go downstairs and walk into his room. It was only a 2 minute walk, unless Victor was on the prowl or something. I imagine me opening the door and seeing him there, smiling. Then he'd say, 'It was enchanting to meet you, Yacker'. Now I'm blushing again, dancing to invisible music as I flop onto my bed. What on Earth is wrong with me! I was Patricia Freaking Williamson. The Goth Pixie. And nobody made me love sick! But I wasn't sure anymore. I wasn't sure of anything. Now I'm praying to the god of love- I don't know his name! I'm Patricia Williamson, and I don't spend time thinking of the god/goddess of love. Geez people, I have somewhat of an image to uphold- that Eddie is mine, that this is the beginning of something, not the end. His name won't leave my head, until I see him again. That's what I meant to tell him. Not 'Why don't you stay there all night, yeah?' That's not how I wanted him to treat me; I wanted him to be mine. I wanted to be his. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME! I just wanted him to like me. Love me. Not some other creep. I didn't want him to break my heart, without him knowing. I don't want to sit there with my teeth clenched and my hands balled into fists as he makes out with his girlfriend- that isn't me. I don't need to be hurt like that again, because Jerome may've broke my heart by ending up with Mara, but I was determined to fix this and not let history repeat itself. And now I'm almost in tears, god this kid better be worth all this internal conflict, begging God that he will be mine. That I won't just be another girl available to him. I will be the girl. Yet I'm still dancing, to music that's not there, glad Mara slept over at Isis house with her cousin. I flopped down onto my bed with a sigh.
I smiled into the pillow and said, "Eddie, it was enchanting to meet you."
At the Party!
The party was getting into full swing now. There was a karaoke machine, all sorts of chips and popcorn, some pizza, a giant bowl of salad, and twelve different types of soda. The room was pretty packed, with members from 3 other houses there, not including their own. Eddie had made himself scarce, which disappointed me a little. Not that I'd ever tell him that. Or that I'd ever tell him I was pacing back and forth in my room last night, actually really early this morning, wishing he was mine and that I was enchanted to meet him. Well that just gave me a brilliant idea….
"All this money can't buy me a time machine *Nooooo* In another life In another life
It can't replace you with a million rings *Nooooo*
I should've told you what you meant to me *Whoa*
'Cause now I pay the price
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away"
The girl that had been singing shrieked into the microphone, causing everybody to cover their ears, and then she ran to a group of girls who were shrieking just as loud as her. Without the microphone. I made a mental note to avoid them at all costs.
"Once again, that was Rosa Jaffrey from Isis House!" said the DJ, Alfie.
There was another round of applause, and then Alfie continued speaking.
"Next up is Anubis House's very own, Patriciaaaaaaa Williamson!" he said, reminding me of a baseball announcer.
I stepped onto the makeshift stage and grabbed the microphone.
"Hi, um, I'm singing Enchanted by Taylor Swift." I said. I took a deep breath, straightened out my shirt, and started to sing.
"There I was again tonight, forcing laughter, faking smiles All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you
Same old, tired place lonely place
Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy
Vanished when I saw your face
Your eyes whispered, "Have we met?" across the room, your silhouette And it was enchanting to meet you
Starts to make its way to me
The playful conversation starts, counter all your quick remarks
Like passing notes in secrecy
All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you"
Then Eddie walks into the room, and he's smiling at me, and I continue to sing with newfound confidence. It feels as if I'm singing for him, and only him. This night is sparkling, don't you let it go The lingering question kept me up
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
2 a.m., who do you love? It was enchanting to meet you This night is sparkling, don't you let it go This night is flawless, don't you let it go This is me praying that Please don't be in love with someone else This night is sparkling, don't you let it go This night is flawless, don't you let it go Please don't be in love with someone else
I wonder 'til I'm wide awake
Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door
I'd open up and you would say
All I know is I was enchanted to meet you
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
This was the very first page, not where the storyline ends
My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again
These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
Please don't be in love with someone else
Please don't have somebody waiting on you
I'm wonder-struck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I'm wonder-struck, dancing around all alone
I'll spend forever wondering if you knew
I was enchanted to meet you
Please don't have somebody waiting on you."
I finished with a stupid little bow and the room erupted into applause.
"Once more, for my amazing housemate here at Anubis Patricia!"
I jumped off the stage and it's pretty cheesy. I run to Eddie, and he holds his arms open and I jump into them. And I kiss him. I kiss Eddie. And Fireworks seemed to explode.
"Yacker," he says, breaking our kiss for just a moment, "Care to be my girlfriend? I'll even lower my force field…"
"Yeah, I think I would like that. Cuz I was enchanted to meet you."
We laughed at the corniness of the moment and I kissed him again, and it was spectacular. This night was flawless, and I was wonderstruck. We broke apart and I leaned into him, and we stayed like that. And I knew there was nobody waiting on him.
