Chapter 4
The boy slumped down into Vee's old chair, legs out stretched and his arms folded behind his head.
"hi, my name's Nora Grey what's yours?" i said in a polite but a i don't want to be here way. he didn't answer, he just scribbled something down on his piece of lined paper.
"what's your name?" i asked more firmly, since i was already tired of this day.
"you can call me Patch, i mean it" Patch said and winked at me in a uncomfortable way of mockery.
"what do you do in your spare time?" i asked writing down his name, totally forgetting to ask his surname.
"don't have free time" he smirked, god i wish i could slap it off his face.
" i don't like this seating thing as much as you do, so I'll try to get coach to change it back, so just do me a favour" i said, pretty sure my temper was trying to take over.
"what kind of favour?" he asked still smirking. I was pretty sure he was flirting but i just didn't want to take notice, guys like this only think of one thing. "i guess you can call me taking photographs free time" he said, staring at me as i wrote it down on my own note book.
"not done" he said lightly bumping my knee with his, "I've got a collection going of an eZine reporter who believe's in the so called truth in eating organic, writes poetry in secret even her best friend doesn't know that, and who shudders at the thought of choosing one of the highest school's in America, the choice of Stanford, Yale and ... that one with the H" he smirked proudly at himself. I just stared at him. how did he know all this? i thought, he must be one of those people Vee keeps telling me about, getting all the information on a person and stalks them without them knowing and eventually getting to them. I won't let this get to me.
"But you won't go to either of them" he practically sang with the smugness in his voice.
"and what makes you so sure?" I asked, my temper starting to boil.
calm, stay calm Nora don't let him get the satisfaction of getting to me i thought and calm down the heat of me temper, as he hooked his fingers under my chair and dragged it closer to him. i thought about moving away but that again will show him that he is getting to me.
He brought his mouth to my ear and whispered, "you hate the school's for their cliche of achievement. weakness number three, you pass judgment."
"if you think you know me so well, what's my second weakness" i said, trying not shiver at his breath on my skin.
"you have major trust issue's" he chuckled "or you trust the wrong sort of people."
"and my first?" I demanded.
"you never have enough fun."
"what are you implying?" I asked in a offended and warning tone.
Suddenly I began to feel a chill in the room and the hair at nape of my neck began to stick up.
"Do you sleep naked?" he asked very confidently.
"no, and if i did i wouldn't tell you" i said, staring him right in those unemotional holes.
"ever been to a shrink?"
"none of your fucking business" i replied, i was getting fed up of this cocky guy, i should have let Jacob and the gang beat him to a pulp.
he laughed at my displeasure of our conversation, as he was most likely getting tons of pleasure from it.
"done anything illegal?"
"two street fights" i replied but I've been in more than two thanks to Suzu's big mouth. "how about you?"
"same" he smirked.
"why don't you ask me about music or something" i said, annoyed to the bone.
"why, i can guess it."
"you think you know everything smart ass come on then tell me" i replied.
"we the kings or 30 seconds to mars, but you usually go for Baroque because it's all about order, control. I bet you play the cello?" he sounded as if the guess' were coming to him like he's physic.
"Wrong" i lied this time, but i didn't want him to know he was spot on.
"and what's this?" Patch grabbed my wrist and pulled my sleeve down a little to reveal all of my birthmark.
"a birthmark."
"looks like a scar. you suicidal or just plain depressed, Nora?" he asked and when he said my name he made his tone deep and alluring. "your parents together?" he asked like it wasn't privet information at all.
"I live with my older brother."
"where's mummy and daddy" Patch asked, catching Suzu's attention from behind us.
"mum passed away nearly a year ago, dad live's at my ... Uncles" i lied, the mum part was true but the dad part wasn't the truth was my dad lived in the main estate, a section of town that is owned by my different relative's,distant and non distant, so Suzu categorized them.
"how did mum die?."
"hey, i think your going too personal with my cousin there!" Suzu snapped at him from behind us. we both turned to look at her.
Patch glared at her for interrupting i mouthed thank you.
Then the bell rang and Patch was on his feet heading for the door.
"Hey! Patch i didn't get anything from you!" i called.
He turned around a scribbled seven numbers on my hand and turned back to walk away.
"hey I'm busy tonight" i said.
"so am i" he grinned and left.
"abit early for a first date?" Vee laughed, as she approached me.
"no he's a insensitive jerk, he started asking about my mum" i replied, giving her a cold look.
"yeah, if he talks about that again, beat that smugness out of him" Suzu said. god, her mouth has to be the biggest trouble maker the her herself.
"well, see you two tomorrow" i said and walked out to my car to go home.
