Later that night when Mr. Sweet went to his home, he couldn't help but think what Eddie had meant by Patricia's his lady friend. Why couldn't he have picked someone more proper and polite, like Ms. Millington for example?
Ms. Williamson was always something, ever since she joined the school at age eleven. When she first joined the school, she was quiet and shy, but then something happened and she changed from night to day. From a quiet and shy little girl she became what she is today, loud and rebellious. She used to play silly little tricks on her teachers that would scare or annoy the life out of them.
When she changed, everybody was worried about her, but she didn't let them. She didn't want anyone to be worried about her. Mr. Sweet had phoned her parents about the change of attitude of their daughter, but they didn't care because she wasn't Piper. Piper was perfect according to them and she was not. After that episode, he called her into his office to try and help her, but as soon as she figured out why he had wanted to see her in his office for, she stormed off.
Then, a few years later her best friend was taken away for purposes of the Secret Society which was for nothing because they had gotten the wrong person. Patricia was also kidnapped that year. Slowly, after some of her friends rescued her from Rufus Zeno, she began to open up and trust. That was the first ray of light that managed to come out from behind the 'wall' she had built up around herself to protect herself. The girl had been through a lot that year.
The following year Eddie had joined the school and they were attracted to each other from the beginning. Not attracted like being a couple, no nothing like that. They hated each other's guts during the first few weeks. However as time passed by, the love-hate relationship they had, blossomed into them being a couple after a lot of hard work form Eddie's side and a lot of denial from Patricia's side.
This year was different from the other years for Eddie and Patricia. She had gone to America for the summer holidays and met Ms. Miller, his mother. Then, before she left she had broken up with him and left him miserable and clueless for the rest of the summer holidays. This term they came broken up to school and all their friends were shocked to learn this. They seemed to be doing so well before the holidays, what changed during the summer? That question remained unanswered by both of them. Eddie didn't know its answer and Patricia simply refused to answer it.
As the year progressed, Eddie and Patricia eventually got back together. In his defence, Eddie did not know that Patricia was 'waiting around' for him until KT practically told him so when he found out about Patricia's and Jerome's date. Eddie was shocked to learn that his Yacker was going on a date with Jerry of all people. Hadn't he dated two girls at the same time, and then broke both their hearts? Why did she need to go out with him for? Sure Eddie was a heartbreaker himself back in America, but that all changed when he met Yacker. He saw no other girl except her. He talked to other girls in front of her to make her jealous and admit that she does like him.
When they finally got back together again, and then came Benji from America. He seemed to take a particular liking to Patricia. They were friends, and obviously, Eddie did not like it. Who would want their girlfriend to be friends with their arch-enemy? Fortunately, Ben did not stay at their school for long, a week or two the most.
However, life is never easy for Patricia and Eddie, as after Ben left, Patricia became a sinner and Eddie did all he could to get her back to her normal self, not her Frombie self. At first, he along with the other Sibuna boys thought that KT was the 'viper in their nest' because let's face it, Patricia's an excellent liar. When Eddie found out that his girlfriend was the real sinner, he didn't want her to suffer from being a sinner. Fortunately, he was able to get her back to normal when he and KT managed to defeat Ammut, evil- Frobisher and Denby.
After all the evil and sinner stuff were completely taken care of, Mr. Sweet and Victor held a little party on the school grounds for the students, with fireworks and everything.
That night as well, Mr. Sweet saw his son standing in line for some popcorn and Patricia standing alone miserable. While he was looking at his son and his lady friend, an ex-student approached him. Mr. Sweet was delighted to see Mick Campbell once again, after he left his school to go to another one in Australia. After a few minutes chatting with Mick, Mr. Sweet excused himself to go talk to Harriet Denby. He learnt that Frobisher and Harriet were going to Egypt, and at that precise moment while Harriet was out to see the fireworks, she left Robert to get some rest in the gatehouse so that the next morning.
Mr. Sweet was looking around to see if the students were enjoying this party or not. Once again, his eyes fell on Eddie and Patricia. They looked like they were talking about something serious, and then he heard his son say "It's you I wanna be with doofus, always was and always will be." It must be pretty serious for his son to be talking like that. He hadn't known Eddie for long, but he knew that Eddie had never been more serious than he was being with Patricia at that specific moment.
'Eddie and Patricia have been in an on again off again relationship for the past year and a half, so if they always get back together after breaking up, who was he to disapprove of their relationship?' Mr. Sweet thought to himself as he saw the couple kiss and cuddle, which was a rarity for them to do so in public, or at least in front of him. 'They might not be a cliché couple, but it's crystal clear that they've found their soul mate.'
