NORA'S POV

After they had already eaten, Luce left to grab her school material at her house before class started, and Patch arrived to give Nora a ride to school as usual.

"Did you talk to her?" He asked, as soon as she got into the car.

"And good morning to you too, Patch." Nora answered with a sarcastic voice.

He chuckled. "Good morning, Angel," he said as he leaned down to kiss her.

"And yes, I did talk to her." Nora said, after she had pulled away and he had started the engine.

"And…?"

"She took some time to process the information but now everything's fine." She looked out of the window and smiled. She could feel a huge bond growing between her and Luce. And she loved that.

"Good." He smiled and took her hand.

Nora spent the rest of the ride telling him how she had told Luce he was a fallen angel and what was her reaction. She had already finished it when they arrived at school. Patch parked the car on his usual spot and as Nora opened the door to get out, she saw Vee running towards them.

"You won't believe it!" She yelled as she approached them. Patch was already by Nora's side with one hand on her shoulder. He seemed annoyed.

"What happened?" Nora was so happy that Vee wasn't mad at her! She was glad that boy hadn't come between them.

"I found out who the guy is." She started talking as the three of them walked through the parking lot to the main building. "It took me a lot of time and effort but I finally did it. He doesn't seem to go to school here or anywhere, to be honest. He's just moved in. I took the courage to send him a message and guess what? We're going out on Friday!" Whoa. Nora suddenly stopped. She was not expecting that. Not to be rude or anything but she hadn't really believed that the guy would want to see Vee again. What would she do now? He was surely going to bring trouble into her and Vee's relationship. Nora couldn't pretend she liked him.

Vee must have misread Nora's expression and thought she was excited. Or maybe she just wanted to brag a little more. "I know! I got a date with the hottest guy ever! I still can't believe it." That took Nora out of her trance. She realized she was still as a statue in the middle of the hallway. She shook her head and started walking again. Patch, who was holding her hand, squeezed it. How could Nora tell Vee she didn't approve this guy? Would she have to wait until after the date or should she just tell her now? While Nora was wondering what to do, Luce showed up.

"Hey guys!" She said, with a big smile on her face. "Nora, I think I forgot my necklace in your house! I left so quickly that I forgot to put it back on."

"Oh, sure I'll look for it as soon as I arrive."

"Thanks."

VEE'S POV

"When were you at her house?" Vee asked Luce. Why hadn't she been invited?

"Yeah…I spent the night there." Luce said hoping it wouldn't be a problem at the same time Nora answered, "We had to finish the Biology project we've been working on. Nothing special." And shrugged.

So now Luce was spending the night at Nora's house? Nora hadn't even bothered to call her after the party. And she knew she was hungover! Vee rolled her eyes. Whatever, she didn't need them anyways, she had a soon to be boyfriend. And he was very hot.

"Oh, okay." Vee said coldly. "See you girls at lunch."

NORA'S POV

Nora was sitting in Biology next to Luce while coach McConaughy wrote useless things on the board.

Nora leaned closer and whispered so that no one would hear, "Did you talk to Daniel?"

"Yes, he hesitated a little but then I guess he believed that Patch was a fallen angel too. I mean, how would he be able to know all of those things about Daniel that no human ever could?" She whispered back.

"You don't know how glad I am for having someone to talk about these things." Nora said as a huge smile was formed on her lips.

"Me too." Luce answered. "How about we double date on Friday?"

"Great idea!"

"Girls!" Coach McConaughy shouted. "Would you mind?" He said as he pointed to the board. Both of them nodded and held their laughs back. When everyone seemed to be paying attention to him, he started explaining the new theme. Nora didn't get much of that. She was too busy staring at Marcie and Patch. The girl was all over him even though he tried to ignore her. Nora rolled her eyes while her insides boiled with anger. She hated Marcie more than anything and now she had to worry about her stealing her boyfriend too?

"Nora! Are you paying attention?" It was coach McConaughy again. God, didn't he get tired of telling her off all the time? Nora looked at him and realized she had been holding the table a little too hard.

"Yes, yes I am." After that, she decided not to look at Patch and Marcie again. That'd only cause her more trouble.


Finally, it was Friday. Nora needed a break from school and from Vee's sudden bad mood. Tonight, she was going out with Patch. Yeah, Luce and Daniel were also going. But it was still a date with Patch.

She was applying her mascara when she saw Patch's refection in the mirror.

"How many times have I told you to knock like a normal person?" She said turning around, smiling.

"How many time do I have to answer that I am no normal person?" He answered, while he put his arms around her waist "If you want a normal guy you're going to have to look harder out there." He gave her no time to answer, for he sealed her lips with his. They kissed for a long while until Nora's phone started ringing back in her room. Patch, who hated being interrupted, snorted but let her go.

"It's Luce." Nora said after hanging up. "They're all ready and are leaving right now. They told us to meet them there in 15'."

"So we should go."

LUCE'S POV

Luce looked at the restaurant by the window while Daniel parked the car. It wasn't really big, but it seemed cozy from the outside. As they walked in, Luce could see the recently painted walls and the alternative chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. They were seated in the middle of the room, surrounded by all the other tables.

She was excited about tonight. Finally, Patch and Daniel could have time to talk. Really talk this time, now that there weren't big secrets between any of them. She looked att the door just in time to see Nora walking in, hand in hand with Patch.

"Hey guys," she said while sitting down and pulling Patch with her, "sorry we're late, we got a little…held up." She finished while Patch smirked and nodded at them.

"So Patch," Daniel said as he put both his hands behind his head. "I knew there was something off about you. Something I liked." He smiled and so did Patch.

"Well, that tends to happen with everyone." Once again, he smirked. "But most of them don't get to know what it is."

"But Patch already knew who you were since the first time he saw you. He was just waiting to tell me." Nora joined the conversation.

Daniel lifted his eyebrows as if he was saying 'impressive'. "Tell me about how you fell."

Patch sighed and scratched the back of his head. "Well, I fell in love with a human."

Luce's eyes widened and she looked at Nora.

"It was way before Nora even existed." He said, reading Luce's thoughts. "But she grew old and eventually died." There was a silence. Luce could understand his pain. She always died but, in a way, she came back. Patch's love wouldn't.

"But it's okay." He suddenly said, noticing the awkward moment he'd just created. "I have Nora now." He said and intertwined his hands with hers.

After that, the conversation flowed smoothly. Luce started feeling thirsty and she started looking for the waitress instantly. As Luce's eyes moved through the room, she spotted a very familiar head.

"Isn't that Vee?" She pointed at her friendwho was by the entrance and next to a tall boy. Was that the mysterious guy? Luce stretched her neck in order to get a better view of him only to wish she hadn't. She froze. It was Cam.
