Chapter 6: Scrapbook Secrets lll (alternate bet ending)
Patricia Williamson was currently walking down the main corridor of the school with her best friend Joy. Joy was busy rambling on about how she was going to get some guy from Isis house to notice her more but Patricia had bigger things on her mind, so she actually wasn't paying attention to her. Joy soon noticed though.
"Patricia you're not listening" Joy whined. "What is up with you?" she asked as she elbowed Patricia's side awakening her out of her thoughts.
"Nothing's up with me" Patricia lied.
"It's the whole bet you've got on with Eddie isn't it" Joy answered for her. "Just go and end the bet and kiss the boy" she told her.
"No. It's been six days if I cave now I'll look completely stupid. I can wait another day" Patricia told her. "Plus I want him to cave to prove to him that he can't win every bet he makes" She explained. Joy just smiled to herself lightly as she thought it was best not to share her current thoughts with Patricia.
As the two girls made their way into the student lounge, Patricia's eyes immediately caught on to the sight of Eddie. He was stood in the corner of the room, with his arms folded, smiling and laughing his head off. It didn't bother Patricia that he was laughing it was who he was laughing with that bothered her. Eddie was with a girl but not just any girl. He was with a girl that Patricia had never seen before. She was extremely pretty and her sense in clothes showed that she was clearly a girly girl. Patricia couldn't see any reason at all why no boy would want to go out with her unless she had one of those really embarrassing laughs.
"Who's that girl Eddie's with?" Patricia asked Joy.
"I don't have a clue" Joy shrugged.
"Ugh this is just great. We haven't kissed in six days and he's got bored and moved on to another girl" Patricia panicked as she felt the jealousy boil up inside of her. She hated being jealous, especially when it was over a boy.
"Patricia stop being so stupid, your over reacting" Joy replied.
"I am not over reacting" Patricia argued "That's it this bet is ending right now" she exclaimed as she began to make her way over to where Eddie was standing.
"Patricia wait" Joy said as she grabbed Patricia's arm to stop her. "Don't do this you're only going to regret it after" she told her.
"I will not" Patricia replied as she shook herself out of Joys grasp and stormed over to where Eddie was.
"Hey doofus" Patricia greeted him as she placed an arm over his shoulder. Eddie then turned his head to speak to her but as he did Patricia closed the distance between them both and kissed him on the lips. It was only a short kiss but in Patricia's eyes it was enough to show this girl that Eddie belonged to her.
As Patricia pulled away from Eddie's lips, he was smiling which she thought was because he knew that he had won. Patricia then turned to see the girl in front of them smiling at the two of them, which was not the reaction Patricia wanted. Her reaction was not what Patricia was expecting either and this aggravated her even more.
"Rachel this is my girlfriend Patricia, Patricia this is my cousin Rachel" said an amused Eddie. "She's come to visit" he then added.
Patricia stood there for a moment as the realisation hit her that the girl was only his cousin. She was then screaming at herself inside for jumping to silly conclusions and for letting Eddie win the bet. Joy was right because she immediately did regret letting Eddie win. Clearly embarrassed Patricia then turned around to face Joy, who was just as shocked as Patricia.
"Joy you could have stopped me" Patricia screamed.
"I just tried to" Joy reminded her.
"Well you should have tried harder" Patricia told her as she stormed out of the student lounge.
"I'll go" Eddie told Joy.
"She'll most probably be at the clearing in the woods" Joy replied and with that Eddie nodded before walking off to find her.
As Eddie arrived at the clearing he immediately spotted his girlfriend sat on a tree stump lost in a world of her own thoughts.
"Do you want to yack?" Eddie asked Patricia as he took a seat next to her.
"It's just that I really wanted to win this one Eddie. I let my stupid jealousy and insecurities take over and went and kissed you when there was only a day to go. How stupid of me. I hate feeling like this" Patricia told him. "It's all your fault, you make me feel like this" she added, causing Eddie to laugh. She always managed to blame him for things.
"Well I'm sorry for making you feel the way I make you feel" Eddie chuckled, deciding it was best to take the blame as he kissed her forehead. "Now come on, we've got to get to class" he told her as he stood up and offered Patricia his hand.
"Ugh, now I've got to do a week of PDA" she groaned.
"Yep but don't worry I won't make you kiss me in front of my Dad" he told her.
"That's only because you would find it awkward" Patricia teased.
"Is this a bet?"He questioned.
"Absolutely not" she replied as they walked to class hand in hand.
As the two of them entered the class room, Patricia dragged Eddie right to the back of the classroom to sit down.
"Patricia we never sit here" Eddie commented.
"I feel like sitting here today" she replied as they both took their seats. Eddie smirked as he had a pretty good idea why she wanted to sit at the back of the class. He then suddenly pulled her chair more towards him and kissed her.
"I hate you so much right now" Patricia murmured against his lips.
"I love you too" he smirked which gave Patricia butterflies.
"Can you two please stop that" Miss Valentine called, causing the whole of the class to turn and face them.
"Sorry" Eddie sighed. "Don't worry we can continue this during dinner" he then whispered in Patricia's ear which only caused her to let out a groan; however Eddie did have a feeling that she secretly loved it.
