Patricia's POV

Oh my gosh! I cannot believe I just did that. How could I have so harsh and mean to him? I'm such a horrible person. Was all I was thinking while running deeper into the forest. After I was a safe distance out of his eyeshot I let the tears fall. I'm Patricia Williamson, for crying out loud. I never cry, but that was before Eddie lowered my force field.

Eddie's POV

I went back to the house and shut myself in my room. I laid on my bed, face in the pillow so if Fabian came he wouldn't notice me crying. I never thought I would cry over a girl. What did I say to make her break up with me? The words she had said hurt more than skin deep this time. Go on protecting the man that was never there for you, see if he cares cause I don't. Oh my gosh… after she said that, I shouted at her. I've never yelled at her. She's right… my dad was never there for me, but she was on my side since I came here. Why would he want me all of a sudden?

I think we need a break. Why did I let her go? I should've ran after her.

Knock knock

"Come in." I mumbled.

"Eddie, dearie, Mr. Sweet wants to see you at school." Vera said after she came in. "Eddie what happened?"

"Nothing. I'll go see Mr. Sweet in a minute. Thanks for telling me." I reply avoiding her question.

"Your eyes are red, of course something happened. What is it? " she said pretending to be concerned about me.

"I failed my science exam and now Mr. Sweet's going to yell at me!" I lied. Lucky for me, Vera does not press issues like Victor does.

"Oh, he's not going to yell at you," she said trying to soothe me, "he's going to tell you to do better next time in a disapproving tone."

Man, our housemother is dumb… no wonder she's a blonde! I don't know what Victor sees in her. I'm a blonde too, but I don't act like one… I hope.

"That's better, I guess. Thanks Vera. I'll be back for dinner." I said as I messed up my hair to look somewhat presentable (and not like I had been sleeping or anything) and went out the door.

I decided to go to school to see what dad wants. I entered the school and found him in his office dusting his certificates on the wall.

"Edison, next time knock before entering!" he said scolding me, embarrassed that he had been caught cleaning his certificates.

"Yeah, next time we'll see. Now, what did you want me to come here for? I have things to do." I replied thinking of Yacker.

"Yes, I was getting to that. Earlier today we were discussing you behaviour and like I said it needs to improve. Teachers have been complaining that you are not paying enough attention during the lessons." He said trying to decide how to handle this; as a father and as a headmaster at the same time. Pretty tough, but it's not my job.

"So? It's not like I'm going to change overnight! After all you were never there for me; but maybe if you were I'd be different today." I replied.

"I would like to get to know you as your father. I'm sure you are not as rebellious as you look. So what do you say?" dad asked me with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Sure." I answered hesitantly.

"And maybe you'd like to bring a friend? Perhaps a lady friend? Ms. Valentine told me that you're pretty cosy with a certain lady, so who is she?" he asked me eager to know who she is- or rather who she was, as she broke up with me.

"Yeah about that…" I trailed off not knowing how to tell my dad about Yacker. Suddenly I was saved by the phone ringing. The call seemed urgent because dad practically threw me out of his office.

"Edison, I have to go to a very important meeting now. We'll talk later about dinner perhaps?"

"Yeah, bye dad." I said before I left his office. This father-son thing is still awkward for the both of us.

I looked at my watch and saw that I still had an hour and a half until dinner, so I decided to take a walk in the forest. Usually, I don't like walking as a hobby, but seeing that I have nothing better to do except think what I am going to do to improve my relationship with Patricia.

Patricia's POV

I shouldn't have broken up with him. Why do I have to be so overdramatic? If he doesn't want to tell his dad it's fine, as I'm not going to tell my parents until I really have to do so. I should go find Eddie and talk to him, or I could call him to meet me out here.

I begin to walk out of the forest so I could tell Eddie to meet me by the gatehouse but as I walk a few metres, I walk straight into someone. I nearly fall with the collision but two strong arms reach out to me and prevent me from falling. I look up at who I bumped into or rather who bumped into me, only to see the warmest brown eyes I've fallen in love with last year.

"Eddie!" was all I managed to squeak out with surprise. I was going to call him to come here but it seems like he had read my mind or something.

"Patricia, are you alright? What happened?" Eddie asked me concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine. I just came out here to think." I said and smiled a small smile. "Listen, can we talk?"

At my last statement eddies' face paled. Uh-oh, I said the statement people usually use to break up with each other!

I laughed a little to lighten the mood and said "I'm not going to break up with you weasel."

Eddie breathed a sigh of relief and replied "Oh, thank goodness. Then what is it? What did you want to talk about?"

"About what I said earlier, I'm sorry. I should've gave you your time to tell Sweetie and I don't know why I over reacted and-" I began to say but I was cut off by Eddie's lips against mine. I immediately kissed back and after we broke the kiss Eddie said "I know you didn't mean it," and with that he kissed me again.

We stayed in the forest until darkness fell and the full moon shone brightly. We talked about our relationship and how to improve it, so we won't have a fight every single day. We agreed to think before we act so hopefully, we won't be hot-headed with each other.

My phone beeped with a text message from Joy. It read:

Trix, wherever u r come quick bcuz Victor will have a fit if u r not here in 15mins. U don't know where Eddie is as well? Bcuz Sweetie came looking for him… weird. Cya :) – Joy.

I told Eddie that his dad came looking for him at Anubis House and that we needed to get there before Victor gives us another month of detention.

We nearly reached the house when we saw Mr. Sweet.

"Edison, Ms. Williamson, what are you doing outside? Shouldn't you two be at Anubis House?" Mr. Sweet told us.

"Uh, yeah, we're going there now." Eddie replied.

"Very well, I'll see you both at school tomorrow. Have a good night!" The older Sweet said turning to leave.

"Wait dad! Before you go I have to tell you something." Eddie told his dad.

"What is it Edison?" Mr. Sweet asked.

"You remember what you said earlier about dinner together and my lady friend?" Eddie asked his dad and the latter nodded. "I'd like you to meet my girlfriend Patricia."

"What? Why her? Why not someone more proper?" Mr. Sweet replied shocked.

"I like her, she's my type." Eddie answered with a smile.

"Very well, I'll get used to it eventually. I'll see you both tomorrow." Mr. Sweet said surrendering.

"You didn't have to do that, you know?" I said once we were out of Mr. Sweet's earshot and eyeshot.

"I know, but I wanted to do it. Now, that is out of the way." Eddie replied with a smile and leaning down to kiss me. I didn't realise that we were at Anubis House's doorstep, but I soon did when I heard Victor yell; "Ms. Millington, you said Ms. Williamson and Mr. Miller were doing a project on nature. Here they are fooling around on the doorstep! Detention, both of you! As for you Ms. Millington, for this week you will not be able to order anything from the internet!"

"Yeah right! Why do I get the worst punishment?" Amber whines.

"Mr. Miller, Ms. Williamson, get inside and ask Vera to make you something to eat quick, then off to your rooms immediately. Am I clear?" Victor told us in his ever commanding voice.

"Yes Victor." We both answered simultaneously.

"Vera? Would you please make something quick for these two brats?" Victor asked Vera in a softer voice while she nodded.

"I'm going to heat two pieces of meat pie. Dinner for you two will be ready in less than half an hour." Vera told Eddie and me.

"So, where did you and Eddie sneak off to?" Joy asked me while Eddie and I were waiting for our dinner to be ready.

"We went for a walk around the school's premises." I replied before Eddie could. I just noticed that lately, Joy has been getting more and more annoying. Minding into people's business and not her own.

"Come on Yacker, let's go do homework!" Eddie told me with a wink.

"Okay." I replied as I let him drag me away to his (and Fabian's) room.

We stayed in Eddie's room talking and kissing careless of what Victor told us earlier. We stayed there until Victor did his famous pin drop speech. I'm glad Eddie and I made up and I definitely think that from now onwards, our relationship will perfectly alright with the occasional fight now and then, but then again, nobody's perfect and neither are we.
