Chapter 4

*I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE HOUSE OF ANUBIS CHARACTERS*

A/N

Thank you guys so much for all the awesome reviews! Feel free to PM me or review with any ideas or just to talk HOA! I watched the newest episode like 6 times, just to make sure I didn't miss any Peddie moments. Hehe. (:

The next morning both Patricia and Eddie woke up before their alarms.

"Nervous?" Eddie asked.

"No, I just don't know what I'm going to wear."

"Oh my god. I think you spent too much time with Amber."

"Well I did go through all of middle and high school with her, she had some time to rub off on me... And the only reason I'm really thinking about it is because I need to decide what I want people to think of me. What you wear is a very important part of that."

"OK, I'll leave you to get dressed. Just wear whatever you want, you're favorite outfit, it will all work out."

"OK, whatever you say slimeball." Patricia lovingly replied. She had come a long way from being an emotionless teenager to an open hearted adult. Well almost open hearted; she still had her boundaries, but mainly around people other than Eddie.

Even though Eddie seemed to come off cool as a cucumber, he was actually a nervous wreck. He thought that him moving to Ireland with Patricia would make the jealousy go away; but apparently not. Hopefully he would get used to her being around other guys without him being there, but it didn't seem very likely at the moment.

"I gotta go, don't want to be late on the first day!" Patricia yelled from the other room. When she walked into the living room where Eddie was sitting, she yelled "You aren't even dressed! What were you doing that whole time?!"

"Well I was just thinking I guess..."

"Well I'm going, I would wait for you but I have an early class and I have to get my schedule and meet all the teachers and everything."

"OK, bye. Love you." Eddie absentmindedly replied as Patricia walked out he door.

Eddie, didn't have his first class until 9:30 so he had an hour and a half to kill. He started to think about wedding plans, but all of the girly comments on the websites and insane amount of pictures in the magazines eventually overwhelmed him. It gave him a few ideas but he thought that he would leave Amber and Patricia in charge of the main planning. The hour and a half whizzed by, and soon Eddie was walking into his first class. He tried to concentrate on what the teachers were saying, but all he could seem to think about was Patricia, and how she was with so many other guys at culinary school. But he eventually reassured himself that he was the only one for her. Little did he know, that Patricia was being flirted with at that very second.

LINE BREAK

Soon it was lunchtime, and Eddie found himself calling his fiancé. She didn't answer on the first try so he proceeded to call her 8 more times until she finally answered.

"Finally..." Eddie mumbled into the phone.

"I was in class! We really should learn each others schedules..."

"OK, sorry. Well I just wanted to check on you, they treating you right?" Eddie said seriously.

"Yes, they, whoever they are, are treating me just fine,"Patricia replied easing the mood.

"Oh good. Are there any guys that I need to come beat up?" Eddie said jokingly.

"No," Patricia lied, more than one guy had flirted with her today.

"Alright, everything seems to be fine, I'll talk to you later, bye."

"Bye"

As Patricia ended her call with Eddie, she suddenly was overwhelmed with guilt; what if he found out that she had lied to him? She knew that Eddie wouldn't care about her lying to him, but what she had lied about was the problem. He had never been held the overprotective boyfriend position in high school, but now that he didn't see her in every class, he was becoming more and more guarded about her. Patricia decided that she would have to chance her reaction when someone flirted with her; "Sorry, I'm taken," would not due. She was going to have to bring out the big guns, or should she say the big diamonds. Patricia had worn her ring almost every day since Eddie gave it to her, but had never really showed it off. Now,whenever some guy came up to her, she was gonna have to bring on the sass.

"Nope," she said while flashing her ring at the next guy who came up to her.

"I just wanted to ask you a question about the assignment!"

"O-oh, I'm sorry. I just got engaged and I don't want to upset my fiancé and I-I..." Patricia drabbled.

"It's OK, I was like that when I first got engaged. It's a crazy feeling, knowing that you are going to be spending the rest of your life with someone," the man replied.

"You're engaged too? I'm the only person I know who got engaged at this age."

"Yeah, the wedding is actually in a few weeks. Let me introduce myself before I tell you all the details."

"Oh sorry, that was a bit impolite of me..."

"It's nothing, but anyway, I'm Jackson, Jackson Carter. But you can call me Jack."

"Nice to meet you Jack, I'm Patricia, Patricia Williamson. So, who is this fiancé of yours; does she go here?"

"No, she goes to Dublin College, across town."

"Really?! My fiancé goes there to! I wonder if they've met..."

"Wow! What a coincidence!"

They talked for a while until lunch was over and they went their separate ways. Patricia was surprised at how easily she had opened up to him, normally she wouldn't have given all that personal information away to some random stranger but there was something about Jack...

LINE BREAK

Eddies phone call with Patricia had reassured him. He was able to go through all the rest of his classes without thinking about Patricia. In his last class of the day, Biology, Eddie was partners with a girl named Stefanie. She was very good at Bio, so their assignment was finished before the end of class. They conversed until Stefanie finally asked, "So do you have a girlfriend?"

"Well actually I'm engaged."

"I am too! That's so cray-cray!" Stefanie giggled.

'Oh no, he had come across one of those stupid girly girls who just retells the story of how their boyfriend proposed over and over again,' Eddie thought.

"Wow that sounded a lot less teenager-like in my head..."

"Good, I thought you actually talked like that, phew."

"But I do talk like that!" Stefanie whimpered.

"I'm sorry!"

"No, I'm just kidding. I haven't said the word cray-cray since like 7th grade..."

"OK. Well where does your fiancé go to school?

"The culinary school a few miles down."

"Wow, what a coincidence, my fiancé goes there to!"

"This is awesome! I wonder if they've met... " Stefanie wondered.

"Maybe they have. We should all go out to dinner sometime. "

"Yeah, that would be awesome, here's my number.

"Thanks, I'll talk to Patricia and we can figure out a time for dinner."

"OK, bye!"

When Patricia and Eddie got home they both collapsed on the air mattress and sighed. The first day of school was always exhausting. Once Patricia had regained her composure, she leaned over to ask Eddie how his day was, just to see that he had fallen into a deep sleep.

A/N (IMPORTANT)

I hope you liked this chapter! I am really happy with it so... Did you like my cool as a cucumber reference? I tried to do a little cliffhanger in the middle with the "Little did he know, that Patricia was being flirted with at that very second." I don't know if it worked or not. It makes me so happy when I see the email that tells me that someone reviewed, so PLEASE do! Even if it's just a "Great!" or "Awesome!" one word is all I need.

(THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART) I was thinking of adding some action to this story. Jack and Stefanie aren't who they say they are? Jack and Stefanie don't know who they are? (IE. One or both of them are related the the chosen one/osirian thing in some way)I was thinking to add it in at Patricia and Eddies wedding but I'm not sure. Please review or PM me with feedback. Action or just more Peddie fluff?

PS: I will be having some drama even if I don't do the action thing. So it wont ALL be fluff.

PSS: I have no I idea what the colleges in Ireland are called or if there is even a culinary school there so...

Sorry that A/N was so long.
