I just realized that I said that they would see each other in 3 moths…..yeah I meant 3 weeks.
I know it's been forever since I've updated this and I'm terribly sorry. But, I'm back and I have a pretty good idea for their first day :)
Read On!
Patricia Williamson stepped out of the front seat of her mothers' Malibu and slammed the door shut. She pulled her heavy, dark red backpack over her left shoulder and walked fearlessly to the crowded doorway of the gigantic school. Patricia studied each and every person she passed on her way up to the door. She saw a group of cheerleaders in uniform gossiping loudly to each other, two teenaged boys wearing their pants practically on the ground, three older teenaged girls, and all wearing crop-tops. Patricia wrinkled her nose in disgust. Who knew her new school would be filled with so many slutty girls. Patricia sighed deeply as she neared the glass door of the massive school. She pushed the door open without much effort and walked swiftly and silently to the principles' office. She dodged a few people down the hall toward the office, trying not to lose her temper. She reached the double-door entrance and hesitantly reached for the glass door handle. She turned the knob softly and opened the door, gaining the receptionist's attention. She had dark brown hair—almost black looking—she was a medium sized lady, and she wore thick, bejeweled glasses. "Hello, sweetie, can I help you?"
"Uh, yeah, I'm Patricia Williamson. I'm here to get my schedule and locker combination?" Patricia stammered nervously. Sure, she'd never admit it, but she was shy; until she got comfortable with someone; or if they made her angry, then she would blow up in their face. "Oh, of course. I have them right here, actually." The older woman dug through her pile of papers on the very corner of her desk, almost knocking all of them off with a swift move. Patricia heard a faint jiggle of a doorknob and the door of the Principles' office opened soundlessly. However, Patricia wasn't expecting what happened next. Eddie emerged out of the Principles' doorway, a smile gracing his lips. "Thanks again, Eric." He called back through the door. "It's Mr. Sweet, Edison!" She heard roughly from inside the office. "Eddie? Already got detention on the first day I see; and even before school starts." She smirked moving closer to him. "Oh, hey, Yacker. You're here early." Eddie smiled crookedly ignoring her sarcastic comment. "It's," Patricia paused to look at her black watch on her left wrist, "Eight twenty-three. School starts at eight-thirty." Patricia noted. Edie rolled his eyes. Eddie put his hand on the small of Patricia's back and led her to the far back corner in the small receptionist room. "I like to skip first and second period. Hey, do you want to skip with me?" Eddie eyes lit up waiting anxiously for her response. Patricia looked hesitant. "I don't know." Eddie looked shocked. "I mean, I'd love to, but it's the first day…" Patricia's eyes flickered to the doorway of the reception area and met eyes with a tall boy around her age. Eddie followed her gaze and his eyes began to blaze. Patricia looked back to Eddie as quick as she glanced at the boy in the doorway. "I'm in." She conformed. She turned quickly toward the receptionist and softly grabbed her information on the top of the desk. "Well, come on, Weasel. Aren't you going to show me around?" Patricia asked smirking. Eddie smiled and led the way out of the tiny room; but not before sending the tall boy a death glare.
Patricia and Eddie were sitting on a log in the middle of the woods fairly close to the school grounds. They were sitting in a comfortable silence until Eddie broke it; asking a question that had been burning in his mind all morning.
"Hey, Patricia?" Eddie asked looking everywhere but at Patricia. Patricia's eyes widened softly. He hadn't called her Yacker. Was he trying to be serious? "Uh, Yeah, Eddie?" Why not be serious too?
"Did you just say yes to ditch with me to make that guy jealous?" Eddie asked hurt. Patricia felt guilty. She hadn't thought about that. Of course she hadn't but, now that she thought about it that was the way it looked. "No, I didn't! I really did want to ditch, no matter what."
"Then why did you agree as soon as you looked at him?" Patricia sighed. "I wanted him to know I moved on. He's my ex-boyfriend. Long story short, I really liked him, he was a jerk, and I got my heartbroken, blah blah blah…." Patricia explained half-heartedly. "Wow, look at me. Spilling my guts to a person I met three weeks ago." She laughed dryly. Eddie looked sympathetic. Patricia pointed an accusing finger. "Don't. Don't you dare feel sorry for me. I hate pity and sympathy." Eddie raised his hands in defense. She laughed quietly. "Y'know," Eddie started looking into Patricia's eyes. They both leaned a little closer. "Hmm?" Patricia hummed. "You have a cute laugh." Whoa, where did that come from? Eddie thought. Did he just say cute? Normally he would've said hot, but cute? What was going on? "Oh really?" Patricia smirked. They were only inches apart. "Really." Eddie conformed with a small smile. Their lips had almost collided when they heard the lunch bell ring out from the outside speakers. They both jumped apart and awkwardly grabbed their bags and started walking back. However, it wasn't awkward much longer. Eddie had loudly tripped over a tree root sticking up from the ground and Patricia laughed hysterically, not letting him forget it the rest of the walk there.
Eddie and Patricia were laughing as they walked over to a lunch table; lunch trays in hand. Eddie sat down and noticed a boy with dark hair walking their way. Patricia's eyes shifted—her curiosity getting the better of her—and noticed the boy, too. Patricia hadn't realized Eddie called the shy boy over until he was sitting down with a dirty blonde haired girl. Where had she come from? Did Patricia just not notice her? She mentally shrugged it off and starred quietly down at her food. What was it anyway? That brown stuff looked like gravy; hopefully, the green mushy substance felt like mashed potatoes but looked like peas. She disgustedly pushed her food tray back and decided she would try to keep up with the conversation that had been going on. Whoa, when did five more people appear? Two boy and three girls sat to the left of Patricia; all starring at her. She became insecure and turned away making a wall out of her hair; dividing her and the strangers. "Patricia," Eddie said annoyed. Patricia looked up to him. How long had he been saying her name? "What, Edison?" Patricia smirked. Eddie glared her for a moment before he introduced everyone. "This is Joy," He pointed a short brunet girl with her hair in a hair tie. "Jerome," He had tall blonde hair and his right arm was draped over Joy's shoulder. Jerome nodded his head toward Patricia signaling a 'hello'. "That's Alfie," An African-American boy waved Patricia's way. "This is Amber," A bubbly blonde waved her hand rapidly and flashed a huge smile. Well, she's preppy…. Patricia thought. It'll be hard to get used to her… "Mara," the raven-haired girl glanced up from her book just long enough to make eye contact with Patricia. "And this is Fabian and Nina." Eddie finished off pointing to the two teenagers who had sat down with them at first. Patricia waved shyly to everyone at the hard, cold blue table. "Okay, so Alfie and I are going to the movies tomorrow night and my daddy won't let me go on a date alone so…" Amber drug out her last word. "Would Fabina like to accompany us with a double date?" Amber squealed. Fabian groaned. "Sorry, Amber, but Fabian and I need to study for the back to school quiz for Friday." Nina apologized; even though she didn't look the least bit sorry. Amber pouted sticking out her bottom lip. Then her eyes lit up and she had formed a devious smile on her lips. She turned toward Eddie and Patricia. "Eddie, Patricia, would you two like to come?" Amber asked slowly. Patricia choked on the water she had been drinking. Joy patted her back softly until she stopped coughing. Eddie looked shocked that one of his friends just invited him and Patricia on a double date. "I don't see why not. Patricia?" Eddie smiled. Uh oh, he used my real name. He's serious? "Uh, yeah, sure. I guess the movies sound… fun?" Patricia hadn't meant for it to sound like a question.
"Great, then it's settled. Tomorrow at six-forty-five. Got it, Eddie? You can't be late picking up Patricia." Amber winked standing up and grabbing her bag. The first bell had just rung signaling lunch was over. "See you tomorrow, Goth Pixie." Alfie smiled following Amber out of the large lunch room. "Yeah, later, Trixie." Jerome said standing up with Joy following. He put his arm around her waist and walked away. Patricia looked back at the other side of the table and noticed Nina and Fabian had already left. Mara on the other hand was still sitting on the far end of bench seat, engulfed in her book. "Uh, Mara? The first bell just rang." Eddie said obviously. Mara waved slightly not looking up from her book and walked slowly but aware out of the lunch room. When she was out of ear-shot Patricia ns Eddie began laughing. They hilarious moment was interrupted by the second bell, telling them classes were starting. Patricia looked at Eddie as they were walking out of the lunch room. "Eddie?"
"Hmm?" He hummed looking over to her. "What just happened?"
"I think we're going on a double-date tomorrow."
Okay, finished! Yay! I like how this one turned out. Did you guys? So, Eddie and Patricia are going on a double-date, huh? That'll be interesting. ;)
