The next morning when Patrick woke up he couldn't help but smile, he was already forming a plan in his head about getting Teresa back for yesterday. He quickly got dressed and headed down stairs for breakfast.
"What are you so happy about?" Janine asked suspiciously, a small smile lighting up her features.
"Just happy for school today" Patrick answered truthfully, his grin growing bigger as he thought about it.
"Yeah, and that's normal" Janine muttered sarcastically. Patrick beamed at her as he shoved a piece of toast in his mouth.
"and you better not have any mud in your backpack" Mr. Jane said evenly, his nose still in the newspaper.
"Okay, dad" Patrick said, still smiling, knowing that he wasn't going to be attacking with mud today.
"Bus will be here in a couple minutes Patrick, Why don't you go grab your backpack" Janine told him, patting his blond curls affectionately.
Patrick nodded and ran up to his room to grab his stuff for school.
"He's going to do something to that Teresa girl" Mr. Jane said quietly, finally lowering the paper to look at his wife.
"I know, I think he likes her" Janine said with a soft laugh.
"I do NOT!" Patrick yelled from the doorway of his room, frowning at the adults who were looking up an almost embarrassed look on their faces.
"We know honey, we meant like a friend" Janine covered quickly, thinking fast.
"Suuure" Patrick said, disbelief both in his voice and on his face.
"Well, there's the bus!" Janine said as the bus pulled up at the end of the drive way, Patrick sighed and then put on his shoes and went outside to go get on the bus. The thought that his parents thought he liked a girl was insufferable.
"Hi Patrick" Teresa said "are you okay?"
She moved over in her seat so that he could sit with her, which he did with hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Teresa asked, again, slightly annoyed that he wouldn't answer her. Patrick just looked at his feet and didn't answer for a minute.
"Nothing" he said finally.
"Oh-Kay" Teresa said, rolling her emerald eyes and deciding to forget it.
"My mom said I like liked you" Patrick finally said quickly.
"Yucky!" Teresa said, backing away from him in their seat, Patrick held up his hands in a defensive gesture.
"I know!" he said loudly "She was wrong"
"Okay good" Teresa said uncomfortably "My mom got mad at me for having a war" she said, starting a new subject.
"Mine too" Patrick said thoughtfully " But I'm not giving up"
"Me either" Teresa said indignantly "But we can't get caught anymore"
"Then we have to go somewhere where they wont catch us" Patrick said "We have to pick a spot for a fort to have our wars"
"Deal, we'll talk to Grace and Wayne and Kim and pick a spot" Teresa said happily.
"Grace?" Wayne asked nervously, Grace ad him lived beside each other so their moms would drive them into school together.
"Yes" Grace asked, still looking out her window.
"Did you get in trouble yesterday too?" he asked suddenly, Grace nodded.
"She said I can't mess around at school anymore" Grace told him.
"My mom said that too" Wayne said excitedly, happy to have something in common.
"Yeah" Grace replied.
"Want some of my fruit snacks?" Wayne asked, pulling out the said item, Grace looked at him before shrugging.
"I guess so" she said uncertainly, taking one of the snacks.
Wayne just sat their and smiled, as long as Patrick or Kim didn't find out about him being friends with the enemy he would be okay.
