Patricia's POV

The week trudged on slowly. The idea of my first date with Eddie on Friday was consuming my thoughts. I just wanted the week to be over so we could go to the concert. Finally, it was Thursday. Only one day left until we could actually go on a date. The giddiness I felt was so unlike me, it was unbelievable. I woke up that morning and got dressed. I swiped on my eyeliner and made my way down the staircase. Everyone was already in the dining room when I walked in. Eddie walked over from the kitchen and gave me a quick kiss good morning before sitting across from me and devouring his stack of pancakes. Throughout the entire morning, I noticed Amber being really antsy. She kept fidgeting with the hem of her skirt and glancing at Eddie and I. I watched her carefully, praying that she wouldn't cause another commotion over Eddie and I like she had the night before.

"Alright, I can't bite my tongue any longer!" Amber announced, causing all the conversations to stop. We all stared at her as she eyed Eddie and I. "How excited are you two for your date tomorrow?"

"Oh, that's right! Your first date is tomorrow." Jerome said, waggling his eyebrows at me. "Thoughts, Alfie?"

"Well, Jerome, I think they need someone to chaperone this little date. I mean, they already go at it like horny rabbits, imagine what would happen if no one was around!" Alfie exclaimed. Jerome burst into laughter, almost falling from his seat. My cheeks heated up as I glared at the idiots. I reached across to Jerome's seat and pushed his plate and glass of orange juice into his lap. There was an echo of gasps around the table and Jerome yelped, leaping back from the table. His shirt and pants were covered in orange juice and egg.

"Oh, sorry, my hand slipped." I apologized with a grimace. Jerome scowled at me, but the scowl was quickly replaced with a mischievous grin as he turned to Alfie.

"All the more reason for you to have a chaperone! We don't want Patricia's hands accidentally slipping again, this time into Eddie's clothing, now do we?" There was a collective 'Ooohhh!' echoing around the table. Alfie began howling with laughter, the thud of him falling out of his seat quickly following. I glared at Jerome, not even having a comeback. I peeked at Eddie and gaped at him whilst he laughed.

"You find this funny?" I asked him, appalled. He shook with laughter and nodded.

"Lighten up, Yacker." He called out with a smile. Vera walked into the dining room then and yelled at us all to be off to class.

I walked hand-in-hand with Eddie down the path to the school building. Jerome, Alfie, Mara and Joy were walking a good 20 meters ahead of us and Nina, Fabian and Amber were trailing us by about 10 meters. I turned to Eddie and shook my head, smirking.

"I can't believe you found that funny."

"I can't believe you didn't find that funny!" He exclaimed.

"It's obvious that you're the new kid."

"How so?"

"You still think that everything those two idiots do is hilarious. After you've been with them for a while, that feeling wears off." I explained. Eddie nodded, considering what I had said.

"Mara found it funny. She's been here a while and she never thinks anything is funny. That's just evidence that it actually was a good joke." He countered, eyebrow raised. I was about to argue when we reached the double doors to the school.

"Whatever. It wasn't funny." I concluded and pecked his lips. "Catch you after class."

It took forever, but lunch finally rolled around after third period. I walked to the cafeteria with Joy, chatting about how unfair the project for Mrs. Andrews is. Jerome, Alfie, Mara and Eddie were already seated when we approached the table.

"Where are the others?" I questioned as I put my bag down and sat across from Eddie.

"They said they had some things to do at the house." Mara answered politely. Joy's face fell and she grabbed an apple.

"That's too bad. I was hoping to catch some study-buddy time with Fabes." She said sadly. Jerome snorted and scoffed at Joy.

"If anything, I think Fabian would want to have 'study-buddy' time with Nina." Jerome said with a wink. Joy crossed her arms and glared at him.

"FYI, Fabian and I are going to a movie tomorrow night." She stated, matter-of-factly. I raised my eyebrows and turned to her.

"I thought you were over Fabian?"

"Please, Patricia. I can't get over someone that fast, as much as try. I'm not heartless." Joy replied with a roll of her eyes. Alfie laughed from the other end of the table and we turned to him.

"I bet Nina would beg to differ." He said with a smirk. "Oh, no, that's right. Nina's exact words were 'heartless bitch'- There's a big difference."

"She called me a heartless bitch?" Joy screeched. "I've been nothing but nice to her! I never did anything! She has no right to say that!"

"Well, in all fairness, you did, and are, trying to steal Fabian from her."

"They broke up!" Joy yelled, leaning over the table. Alfie stood up and waved his hands around.

"Calm down, calm down! I was just kidding. You don't have to go psycho-killer on us, Joy." Alfie said with a laugh. "Well, I think we need a change of topic- Who are you two seeing at the concert?"

"Overkill." Eddie replied with a mouthful of sandwich.

"You know, I'm actually a big Overkill fan. Maybe I'll come-" Jerome began.

"Shut it, Slimeball. You're not going within 100 meters of that concert or I'll chop your balls off." I threatened. Joy, Eddie and Alfie all burst out into laughter while Mara looked uncomfortable.

"All I'm saying is that I think it would be a good idea if someone came along to-"

"No."

Classes were especially boring throughout the rest of the day. The clocked ticked by slower than usual. An hour seemed to last an eternity. My fingers drummed on my desk through each class, causing the teachers to glare at me from their desks. The bell eventually rang to go to fifth period, which was my lounge period, and I hopped up from my desk. I was briskly walking through the hallway, anxious to get to the lounge and talk with everyone, when an arm pulled me down a different hallway.

"Get off me!" I sneered then realized it was Eddie tugging me along.

"Shh, you have to see this!" He said laughing. We paused at the corner of the hall, watching Mr. Sweet walk to his office. When he pushed open the door to his office, he yelled and slammed the door.

"Goose! There's a goose in my office!" He bellowed frantically. Eddie burst into laughter and strolled over to Mr. Sweet.

"Jerome and Alfie told me about the last goose incident and I thought you might have missed the little guy." Eddie said, smirking devilishly. Mr. Sweet's eyes bugged out of his head as he stared at him.

"You? You did this?" He asked in disbelief. Eddie raised an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. Mr. Sweet's face turned beet red and he grabbed hold of Eddie's ear. "Mr. Miller, it appears detention has taught you nothing! Severe consequences must be taken! You are not welcome in this school!"

I watched in fear as he dragged Eddie through the school, threatening expulsion. Joy walked up behind me and furrowed her eyebrows.

"What's going on?"

"Eddie's going to be expelled!"

Sorry if this wasn't good, I'm kinda upset at the moment. But who saw Friday's episode? I about died! Leave a review please, I'm hoping for a better turn out than last chapter. I'll update when I have a sufficient amount of reviews.
