Patricia let out a groan and avoided her mothers brown eyes, as she walked into the school building, Eddie walked beside her, so now she knew about Eddie being in the same town, and that he went to her school. Great. It was all that she needed. The redhead said nothing, and he swiftly made her way to her locker. He didn't say a word either, and she gnawed on her bottom lip. Patricia knew that she had a ton of time to get to Homeroom, but she didn't want to speak to Eddie. She knew that she wasn't mad at him, but she didn't trust her voice to speak.
"Yacker are you alright?" All Patricia did was nod, as her pale green eyes traced over her locker. Her head didn't turn to face the American, but she soon forgot that she was even wearing his sweatshirt.
"I gotta go Eddie." She mumbled as she pushed past him, her books in her arms. He raised his eyebrows. Was she mad at him?
"Patricia wait!" He said and jerked on her arm. "Are you mad at me?"
"No." She answered and attempted to pull her arm out of his grasp, but the grip was to tight to let her yank away from him. Her pale orbs flickered to her shoes, and she couldn't look him in the eyes. The American let out small huff, and starred at the redhead.
"So why are you not talking to me then?" His voice was curious, and he stepped a tad bit closer to her. She didn't answer his question, but instead she just pushed her way past him, and managed to get down the hall into Homeroom before he could call after her.

The addled state didn't leave Eddie's mind, and when he got to lunch, it made it all of it that much worse on him. Jason and Derek wanted to know why Patricia was wearing his old gray sweatshirt, so they bombarded him with millions of questions; questions that he simply did not have any answers to at all. Eddie glanced over at the redheaded girl. She was sitting a couple of tables over to there right side. He could tell that she was just picking at her food rather than eating it, and the look on her face made him sigh out loud. Why was she not speaking to him? What had he done wrong? What happened? Wasn't it just yesterday when they were kissing in the chicken coop, what had changed since then?
"You alright man?" Jason's voice broke him away from his thoughts, and he just nodded. The truths as though, he was far from alright, he wanted to know why they weren't on speaking terms all of a sudden. He looked down at his lunch, and then made a face. His appetite was completely gone; he got up to throw away his food. Eddie's chocolate eyes looked for her paler green ones in the room, they locked together for a few seconds until Patricia bit her lip and turned away. She wanted to badly to go up and talk to him, but that only would make her want him more. Maybe if she stayed away for awhile then maybe things would go back to they that should be. Back when they 'hated' each other. She starred back down at her lunch tray, it was bland with almost no flavor at all.
What she didn't know though, was by staying away from him, she was hurting them both.

It had been days and they still had barely said a word to each other. Eddie was starting to worry, what had he done? Why? Why was she not talking to him? He felt a hand on his shoulder, and his head turned to see Derek standing there beside him. He sent him a small smirk, and shook his head.
"It's still that girl isn't it?"
"She has a name Derek." Eddie growled softly, and glanced over at his cell phone on the self in his locker.
"I just don't know what I did." He let out a huff, and looked around the hallway. No sign of Patricia. He ran his fingers through his light brown locks, and glared at Derek. The two Americans continue to stand at Eddie's locker. He shut the it and angrily punch the blue painted door.
"We'll man, I don't think she's worth this much trouble okay? She's just some girl." Essie's anger rolled through his blood, and he fought the urge not to punch Derek in the face.
"Listen okay? Patricia is not just some girl. She's way more then that, you don't even know her alright?" Derek rolled his eyes and turned to Eddie.
"Oh like you do Eddie?" He nodded and clinched his fists together. He did know her, he did.
"I do, you have no idea Derek. Anyways, I gotta go." He pressed his way past Derek, and on the way to his next class he happened to look her way. Patricia's red hair was curly, and she had ditched his sweat shirt for her normal leather jacket, along with a black pair of skinny jeans.
"Yacker." He whispered, but it was loud enough for her to hear the word. Her head turned for a few seconds to face him, and she gnawed on her lip. She wasn't going to talk much though, she didn't want to like him like that. The redhead knew in her heart though that she missed him, and that she could not truly deny her feelings for Eddie. She didn't say a word, but neither did he. They both just stood in hall, books in their arms, no words came out of their mouths.
"Why are you not talking to me, what did I do?" She shrugged.
"You didn't do one thing Eddie." He ran his fingers through his hair again, and he sighed.
"It's been days Yacker." He whispered as he starred at the redhead in front of him.
"I know that Eddie." She replied and then she looked up to his face. It was emotionless, well apart from the fact that his eyes held sadness.
"Then why do you keep avoiding me?" Patricia bit down on her lip again, maybe the pain would distract her, from that task that was at hand between the two of them. Maybe. But he spoke again, and her ears were on. So maybe not. Maybe not.
"I have my reasons." She said bluntly and continued to chew on her lip along with the inside of her cheek.
"It's like the break up all over again." He whispered, but she could still hear what he was saying, and it tore a dagger into her heart. She was hurting both of them, and she was hurting him.
"I didn't mean-" She started, but he simply just cut her off.
"Then can you tell me why you aren't talking to me Yacker?" His brown eyes softened, and he looked her right in the eyes. Her teeth clamped down harder on her lip, but she didn't say anything. She couldn't face him like that.

I know horrible chapter, but what do you all think? :)
