Patricia Pov
After this morning interrogation from my mom went up to my room took at shower and got dress. I don't know why but I did anyway. I had nothing to do anyway, not with Eddie because last night dinner made him reschedule with his friends for today, and Joy still not back for traveling. I have other fiends but those two are the only ones I like actually like. Well Eddie I tolerated him until I started to like so…yeah no one. And it's not like I could go beyond the castle wall without any security, you know what forget it I had enough o this castle let me just suck it up with security. An hour later me and J.J. were just walking around one the parks in England a good 20 minutes away from the castle. I notice someone in the park though from the back she looked a lot like Joy from the back. The girl turned around and I saw her it was Joy. I'm pretty sure she saw me to because she came running up to me and hugged me.
"What are you doing here" I ask
"Well my dad had a stop here for a story" by the way did I mention Joy's day is a Journalist " We got in late last night and I was going to stop by the castle once we was done here to surprise you, but look like I don't have to and hey J.J."
"Hey Sean" I say to her dad "You don't know how bored I was without you know how many schools I got kicked out of" I tell joy pulling her to a park bench
"No what like 10"
"Oh no not even close let just say all private school in England"
"What Tricia how is that even possible"
"I don't know but it's apparently possible and my parents tried home schooling me but I made 3 teachers quit my first week"
"Then where do you go now"
"AEA"
"Where my mom works?"
"Yeah that was the only public school my parents or should I say the king and queen would allow a young princess to go without security with the help of your mom now enough about school are you here to stay or…"
"Look Tricia I'm sorry but no I leave here in about two weeks"
"Oh well then come on let's go do something if you're not busy'
"No come on"
After she told her dad she'd be with me we decided to go for pizza; it maybe early in the morning but it's never too early or late for pizza in mine and Joy's world. We went to Pizza Pies, which I'm sure one of the best pizza place in all of England. When we got there was a bit half way full but it is only about 10 or 11 o'clock in the morning. I saw a group of boys I recognized from school, inside the group I saw Eddie. But I could tell he didn't see me. Me and Joy went up the counter and sat at the stools.
"Well Well Well if it isn't Joy Mercer" said the owner me and Joy been coming here since we were little even when we didn't know each other
"Hey Trixie" The owner's name is Patricia as well that's why people call me Trixie because I come here so much they gave us the same nickname
"Haven't seen you here for a while done traveling with your dad"
"No just visit he's writing about something here in England for the next two weeks so I'm her until then"
"So what can I get you guys?"
"Do you really have the ask you know our usual 2 cheese 2 pepperoni and the other half surprise toppings" I say
"Yeah yeah ok"
Me and Joy walk over to a free booth and just talk for a about 10minutes just waiting for our pizza. When our food ready Joy decides to go get it.
"Stalking me are we now Williamson" a voice says I look up from my phone Eddie
"Shhh you know never to call me by that last name out loud in public"
"Ok Jones, what are you doing here anyways"
"Same reason you're problem here to eat"
"So you came here"
"Yeah why… do you not want me here?"
Okay so maybe he didn't like the kiss last night. As soon he's about to answer Joy comes back
"So Tricia what drinks do you want" Joy ask "Um… hello"
"Oh Joy this is Eddie, Eddie Joy"
"So you're the famous Joy I heard so much" Eddie says
"I would say the same about you but I never heard anything about you" Joy says putting the pizza down "so you obviously know about me how you two know each other"
"Oh we go to AEA together now back to the question Eddie"
"Eddie you coming" one of his friends say, Jake, who is walking over here
"Oh hey Patricia and …."
"Joy"
"Jake… haven't seen you around school"
"Yeah I know because I don't go to ASA"
"Yeah Joy's dad is a journalist who travels the world and Joy decided to go with him"
"So Eddie you coming"
"Um yeah sure where we off to next"
"Skate Park"
"Ok nice meeting you Joy… Yacker"
"Bye Jake… slimeball"
Eddie and Jake walk away and Joy turns her head to me while handing me a slice of pizza
"So Slimeball huh… what's going on between you two?"
"Nothing"
"That obviously didn't look it"
"We just hang out a lot that's it"
"Hang out what does that mean Yacker"
"It means were hanging out as in friends"
"What have you been doing hanging out"
"Mostly doing a project you're mom my paired us up for"
"So that all, Tricia I know you that can't be all"
"OK so maybe he came to the dinner my mom organized last night but that was because she invited him"
"And then what happened afterwards"
"We got bored in the kitchen so we walked around the castle"
"Keep going'
"Then we went to my room and showed him the 'closet' and…" I say putting air quotes around closet"
"And…what"
"We may have sort of Kissed now can we change the subject"
"And I thought you said there was nothing between you two"
"There is nothing no come one let's go"
We had finished our small pizza and gone back to the park because Joy's dad would still be there on the way though she kept asking me questions about Eddie and me
"Okay that's' enough"
"Fine but I'm sleeping at your house cause this conversation is so not over"
"Nah let's go over to your house I haven't been there since you left"
"Fine either way this conversation isn't over remember that"
"Like I could forget so what do you want to do here?"
"What we always use to do watch the skaters"
"no I rather not'
"Why not cause Eddie's over there"
"No because you know Eddie's over there and that's why you want me to go there"
"Don't Kyle and Jess still skate here ever Saturday?"
"Uh… yeah why"
"Well we can say that we came to see them if anyone ask"
"Fine"
We walk over to the skating area in the park and spot Kyle and Jess
"Well Joy Mercer I see you're back in town" Kyle says
"Yeah and Patricia haven't seen you here around much after Joy left" Jess says
"Yeah well we decide to come back and watch" I say
"What little Miss. Rebel Princess doesn't skate anymore?" Kyle says
"Tricia you quit skating" Joy ask
"Sort of" I answer
"Yeah she still came here after you left with us but she stop a few months ago" Kyle says
"She then become queen of the skate park but now there's a new ruler" Jess says
"Oh who" Joy ask
"Eddie his name he's American; you know him" Kyle ask
"Oh believe me she knows him they go to school together" Joy says
"Look there he is right now" Jess says pointing to the only skater skating
"See Tricia you could skate better than that" Joy says
"Excuse me Joy as much I hate English class it's not could skate better I do skate better" I say
"Well then why don't you prove it then" Kyle says handing me over his skateboard and helmet
"Yeah Rebel Princess show us" Jess says
"No"
"Oh come on" Joy says
"No" I say
"Do you still never resist a challenge?" she asks
"Yeah why...no Joy you better not"
"I challenge you to skate right now" Joy says
"Yeah me two" Kyle says
"That goes for me as well" Jess says
"No come on Tricia you don't do it you just lost 3 challenges"
I take the skateboard from Kyle
"I hate you guys" iI tell them
"Oh Tricia we love you too"
"I'm going to tell the King we have a challenger" Kyle says
Kyle walls away
"We haven't had a new king around here since Eddie came along you know he's the longest reigning king here" Jess says
"Well looks like that's about the change" I says
Kyle walks back over to us
"It's all set up"
"Okay listen up listen we have a challenger here who thinks they can bet the king at his game. Everyone here knows the rule okay the challenger will not be name till the end of the first round. Remember there are three rounds. Remember only skaters are allowed to vote the first 2 round. In the last round everyone here can vote that include the ones who came to watch. So can we have skater on one side and watchers on the other. Please" the announcer says "Can we have the King please step out"
Eddie walks up the top of the rock the announcer is standing on everyone cheers as he does
"Now as king you will go first as we all say royalty is always first"
Eddie step down from the rock and begins to skate. I have to say he can really skate. After about a minute he finishes skating and goes back on top on the rock
"Okay let's give it up for the King" everyone begins to cheer
"Okay now here is the description of the challenger. This skater is a girl. So if she wins we will once again be rule by a girl. Now remember we've only had a one queen ever ruled once. Now that I think of it we only had one skater around here that was a girl. The description of this skater is that she is mostly a watcher and but decide skate this time so let's give it up for the challenger"
Everyone begins to cheer as I go and begin to skate, as the challenger my identity gets hidden till the end of the 1st round , so I can't go up to the rock, till then end of the 1st round I have to wear a black hoodie . I finish skating when I finish I then go up to the rock.
"Let's give it up to the challenger" everyone then begins to cheer "okay challenger can you please revel yourself and till the people who you are"
I take off the hoodie and everyone begins to cheer as they realize who I am
"Well Well Well looks like our queen is back once again to take back her throne give it up for Trixie our gothpixie"
Eddie is shocked when he sees I'm the mystery skater
"Okay round Two will begin in two minutes"
Eddie and I get off the rock and I walk over to Joy, Kyle and Jess.
"You were great Tricia"
"Yeah looks like we're getting a queen once again to rule the skate park" Kyle said
"Yeah how's it going to feel like being at you throne" Jess ask
"It's going to be fun especially since I'll be taking my throne from Eddie then yeah" I say
"Well speak of the devil he comes" Joy says I urn and around and there's Eddie
"So you are following me around" he says pulling me a to a tree to talk
"no actually I'm not Joy wanted to see Jess and Kyle again and they're always at the skate park so we came here then they told me you were king and I saw you skate earlier and I said I could beat so the three of them challenge me to skate and beat you and you know that I can never resist a challenge let alone three so yeah"
"Since when do you skate?"
"Why are you scared?"
"No"
"Well you should be I was queen here before"
"Then how come you're not now"
"A few weeks after I became queen I stop coming here and looks like you took my place and became king and now I'm here to take it back"
"Like you could take it back"
"You haven't seen me skate except for that one round so don't under estimate me"
"You couldn't possibly be a better skater than me"
"Why cause I'm a girl" I step closer
"No because I'm king and haven't lost to anyone since I've been king" he steps closer
"Well there's a first for everything now is there" I step closer
"Yeah there is but you're not going to win" he steps closer
"We'll just see now won't we?"
We both lean in and kiss. My arms wrap around his neck and his around my waist; we stay like that for a good minute. We split apart but are arms still wrapped around each other
"Yeah I guess we will" he says
