I'm pretty sure this Chapter is around the same length as the last one. And more character are going to be introduced in this chapter (and one of your beloved couples would meet).

Hope you like!

TRIGGER WARNING (none in this chapter really)

III. Joy

Joy had never actually been good when it came to meeting people and actually talking with them. So when the redhead had to ask who she was again, it was no surprise.

"Joy" she answered, trying for her voice to come out as more than a whisper "your roommate"

"Oh. Brilliant!" said the redhead girl with sarcasm "my roomie"

Joy decided to ignore her (clearly, this girl wasn't pleased with having a roommate, but there was nothing Joy could do about it, right) as she walked to the empty bed on the room and gathered all her courage to just say "May... I ask your name?" yes, it was quite possible that Joy Mercer was somehow socially awkward. But she never actually had friends on secondary school, nor did she on primary. There were the normal "hellos" to people who walked on the corridors but most of them had known Joy since she was 6 or 7 so it wasn't that difficult to talk to them. But when it came to people she had never seen before in her life... she was terrified, not a single word would come out of her mouth. She had grown to expect the worst of someone. And staring at the Goth redhead she expected quite bad things.

"Patricia Williamson" she said in her tick British accent. Joy wondered from what part of England this girl came from.

Joy turned around, starting to unpack. Just for her luck, the first thing she pulled out was a copy of the second Twilight book.

"That book," Patricia said "never understood why so many people liked it"

Joy turned to face Patricia "you don't like it?" she asked, wondering how someone couldn't like a love story like Bella and Edward's

"I haven't even read it. I'm not really into vampires love stories, really any love stories to be more specific" certainly, Patricia didn't seemed like the kind of girl who would die to read another "and they lived happily ever after" kind of story "My sister has read it, though, and she was in love with this wolf dude"

Patricia had made a big mistake. Joy was the kind of girl who if you were going to mention one of the books she loved, you had to he prepared for it. If she started talking about it, nothing would stop her.

And that's pretty much what happened.

As Joy kept rambling about Twilight, she forgot she didn't know this girl, she forgot how afraid she was. She forgot everything; in that moment it was just Joy and her knowledge on Twilight.

Only ten minutes onto Joy's rant, Patricia had already decided to never read Twilight, though, she let the petite girl continue. 15 minutes later, Patricia stopped her:

"I'm starving. You can continue telling me about Twilight-and its world of vampires, werewolf, and useless main characters–down on the coffee shop" she stood up and head to the door

"Ok" said Joy as she followed her. She kept talking about Twilight on the way, though

The Cafe wasn't exactly big. A sweet women named Trudy owned it, and even if Joy wasn't hungry the middle age women gave her one of the cookies that was on the bowl, not asking for the money.

Patricia bought a big cookie and a cup of dark coffee. She signalled Joy a table and the two teenagers sat. Patricia had, on their way to the café, changed the topic of Twilight (already annoyed by "Edward and Bella went…" and "Jacob clearly didn't know…") to herself. She told Joy a little bit about her sister–which Patricia didn't seem to be in the best terms with–and then she asked Joy if she had any siblings. Joy truthfully, answered that no and soon made the topic change to Patricia again. Joy didn't like talking about herself, much less of her family.

As Patricia kept telling her about her life, Joy scanned the place. It was almost empty, 2 tables away seats a tall black haired boy with a piercing on his right eyebrow. The cafe is also a bookstore, and a dark haired boy is engrossed in a Harry Potter book. The boy is incredibly familiar to Joy. The boy looked up from his book, as feeling someone staring at him. Blue-ish green eyes lock with the plain brown eyes of Joy.

"Hey Joy" Fabian said as he stood up, brushed some crumbs off his blue t-shirt and made his way to Joy and Patricia.

"Do you know him?" asked Patricia

"Somehow" shrugged Joy

Fabian looked at Patricia and waved "Hi. I'm Fabian"

"Patricia" she waved as well

Fabian was about to say something when a tall blonde walked in. He scanned the place with icy blue eyes, soon his eyes landed on Patricia. A smirk played on his lips as he approached to the redhead. On the other hand, Patricia didn't seem to be quite pleased with seeing the tall blonde.

"Trixie!" He exclaimed

Trixie? Thought Joy

"Didn't think I would see you here" he continued

"I was actually hoping I would never see you again in my life, Jerome" she snapped

"But if we were so good friends at school" he said, putting his right hand on his chest, were the heart was supposed to be.

"Yeah... wonderful friends" she said with sarcasm

Joy looked at Fabian; he was as confused as her.

Jerome smiled "Have you poured any beverage in someone's head already"

What?

Patricia looked at Jerome, then she glared "no" was her answer. She stood up and said, "I'm not going to stay here with this thing" she pointed at Jerome "here"

Patricia grabbed her cup of coffee and started heading to the door. Jerome was still smirking, Fabian seemed quite confused and Joy was still debating with herself in whether she should follow Patricia or stay there.

Just to her luck Patricia bumped with a beach blonde boy coming into the café.

"Watch where you're going!" she shouted

"Watch where you are going, Hermione" the blonde boy snapped.

"Oh, wonderful, exactly what we needed. A patronizing American whose only reference of the UK is Harry Potter" she said, "Who are you anyway"

The blonde smiled "who are you?"

"I asked first"

He laughed "really?"

Patricia looked already annoyed "next time you bump with someone consider that it is polite to apologize in this country"

"Do you ever stop talking" he smirked "I should call you Blabs, or Yacker," he laughed a little. He then pointed at Patricia, his smirk never leaving "Yacker"

"And maybe I should call you a cab back to the airport" she looked quite angry, Joy noticed

"Oh, devastating" the boy clapped

Patricia was holding her cup of coffee tightly

"Here it comes," said Jerome in barely a whisper

Patricia raised the cup and poured the coffee on the boy's head. The boy had a startled expression.

She looked pleased with herself "As much as I would love to stay here trading stereotypes, I think I'm gonna go hang somewhere else" with that she left

The boy covered in hot coffee turned to look at them–Fabian, Jerome and Joy

Jerome, who didn't find this strange, was still grinning when he said, "she does that"

TADA! I like Jerome here. but i'm still having problems with writing Joy. You see, I'm not used to writing characters out of character, and well... Joy has–needs–to be out of character for this story, not much but still a little bit.

that's it i suppose.

oh, btw, I've never read Twilight nor do I want to. It's just that Joy liking Twilight was mentioned on the first Episode (before she disappeared) and well... yeah.

PS- I had to look for my Harry Potter book so I could write Hermione, 'cause guys I always forget how her name is written.

PPS- If you had noticed the summary was negative PLUS negative equals positive, right but god, i was so wrong. I can't even believe I made that kind of mistake, its actually [in math and all that] (-) x (-) = (+) so the summary should be negative times negative equals positive. Sorry for you who hate maths, having to read this minute math class, but i just wanted to point out my mistake. I'm quite good at math, tbh, so i just can't get how I forgot that it was times and not plus.
