I am so, so sorry that I haven't written in so long. I was on holiday and no internet and then school and everything's been so hectic… Anyway, here you are I hope you like it. Feel free to review because reviews=love :) I love you all, thank you xo
I haven't heard from Will recently. He went kinda MIA since he told me that he'll go to that school back in California. I was quite glad seeing as I've been trying to move on from my past since I've moved here. To be honest, it proved to be quite easy with the help of my friends, especially Sam and Patrick. Speaking of Patrick, it's been almost two weeks since he and I have begun to date. I hate to admit that he's made me blush too many times than I have ever before just because he's being so amazing. He's being unbelievably cute even though he probably wouldn't want me to say that. I don't think anyone was very much surprised when we announced that we're together. Except, well, the people at school. Given that most of those cheerleaders have full on make out sessions in the school corridors with nobody looking twice, they were pretty obvious when it came to staring at Patrick and I kiss once in a while. Of course, I assumed that people would be surprised but they've had time to adjust.
Currently I was sitting in shop class trying to pay attention to whatever the different used of different kinds of wood were. I was glad to have taken this class seeing as it was probably the easiest thing on earth. Patrick, however, had a different idea of what education was about as we sneakily passed notes to each other without getting caught.
What are you doing after school? -P
Not Sure. Why? -J
Wanna visit that music store just outside of town? -P
The one where we met? -J
Yeah :) -P
Sure :) -J
Are you getting anything this guy is saying? -P
Are you kidding? This must be the easiest subject I've taken. –J
Well we can drop by the diner or you could tutor me at my place ;) -P
The last time you said that we got nothing done :P -J
What can I say? :D You're too pretty for your own good. –P
Right in that moment the small piece of paper was snatched out of my grasp. The teacher, whose name I couldn't care to remember, skim-read over the note and gave us one of his harsh looks. The corner of his lip was slightly pulled as if to show a tiny, almost unnoticeable trace of what I guess you could call a smile.
"Finally got yourself a girl, huh, nothing?" He asked.
Honestly, it irritated me how everyone at this school thought it was such a joke to call Patrick nothing. He wasn't nothing. And I'm pretty sure, despite the whole 'I'm fine with it, it's just a joke' façade, he actually hated the whole ordeal.
"Sir, with all these girls coming at me I'm glad I found this one." Patrick replied with a smug smile.
"Well I hope your girlfriend here can get your big head out of your ass and drag it to detention today after school right along with her." The old guy said before turning around and continuing to slowly make my ears bleed and probably enjoying every single second of it.
I have never been more glad to leave a class. Let's have a moment of silence for lunch for it is the best part of any school day. Patrick on the other hand was a little irritated by the teacher's behaviour. He strongly believed that the old guy was simply out to get him. It was quite funny though to hear him complain about how he couldn't take a joke about a year ago and wanted his revenge ever since.
On our way to the cafeteria I grabbed his hand and pulled him into an empty corridor surprising him with a quick kiss to stop his constant muttering. I stopped to take in the look of his confused yet smiling face. God, his smile… He leaned in and kissed me slowly, placing his hands on my back, pulling me into him. I smiled deepening the kiss. Then, my fingers were tangled in his hair and his hands making their way down towards my waist. I knew his mind was elsewhere now, his irritation leaving him. He began to leave a trail of kisses from my jaw down to my collar bone-
All of a sudden, a door nearby flew open, revealing a group of small blondes coming out. Unaware of these people walking our way, Patrick and I kept to what we were doing. We only realised that we weren't alone when a few of them began to fake cough. At that, Patrick pulled away and shouted, "SUCK IT VIRGINITY PLEDGES! SUCK IT!"
I giggled and hid my blushing face into Patrick's check, moving my hands down and platting them around his waist. The girls quietly moved out, shooting glares at us whilst doing so. I looked up at Patrick who had a joking look on his face. He looked down at me and smiled. His hand brushed my cheek lightly as my cheeks reddened even more. Then I stood up on my toes and gave him a quick peck on the lips before lacing my fingers with his and walking with him into the cafeteria.
Soon time for detention came and anyone could see I wasn't looking forward to it. At lunch everyone at our table had managed to hear both stories of detention and the hall from Patrick. This of course included many strong opinions from Patrick's point of view. Nevertheless, everyone had quite a laugh.
After math I made my way to the workshop. When I arrived Patrick wasn't there. Obviously he was going to be late just to aggravate the teacher. I sat down at one of the front desks just as a guy, whose name I didn't know, came in and sat down at a desk nearby. He had longish black hair and wore a beautiful leather jacket. Not that I'd tell him that since I've barely seen him around before.
"Where's the boyfriend?" He asked.
"Late, probably. Do I know you?"
"Probably not. I'm in one of that guy's shop classes. I only know who you are because of all the rumours and whatnot." He said. Rumours… I had no idea the population of this school would sink that far.
"Huh. What kind of rumours?" I wondered. It's not exactly like there could have been so much to make up in such short amount of time.
"Well, there's the one where you're also gay and both of you are just trying to hide it. Also the whole theory that both of you just want to do it all for the attention. My personal favourite is the story about you being pregnant with his baby, which you're actually carrying for him and his secret lover." He finished.
I must say if these rumours weren't about me I'd be quite impressed with the amount of imagination people had for things like these.
"Pregnant?! So this is the kind of thing that people here talk about? Who did you hear all of this from? Unless they're your own ideas." I narrowed my eyes not sure whether or not to trust him.
"Please… I don't care for your affaires or anyone else's for that matter. I just have this huge group of cheerleaders sitting in front of me in Biology and let's face it, those things are pretty loud."
I exhaled a long sigh and then began to chuckle as I imagined- wait. I never got his name.
"What's your name anyway?"
"I'm Tom."
"Like Tom Riddle, Tom?" I teased.
"I suppose." He laughed.
"Jo." I took out my hand to shake his.
"So they really think I'm pregnant?" I questioned.
"Who's pregnant?" A familiar voice from the corridor came revealing an out of breath Patrick. He came to stand in front of my desk and greeted me with a quick kiss on the cheek. Quick - yet a quite romantic gesture. He said his hellos to Tom since they apparently knew each other from some other class.
"Apparently, I am."
Patrick's POV
I was already breathless from running through the whole school trying not to be late to this pointless detention and what Jo said took what I had left of my breath away. Pregnant? I must've missed something.
"It's a rumour spread around by our lovely classmates." Tom finished.
Tom and I have always been on good terms. Since he had pretty much nothing in common with most people at the school, he didn't add to the whole 'Nothing' deal or any other crap the jocks enjoyed doing. It was last year when I had shop class with him and well, he obviously moved on to the harder stuff whilst I stayed behind to make more clocks. Either way, he was a good guy.
"Pregnant? Really?" I suppose by the looks on their faces they were also surprised by what people have already come up with.
"Anyway, the question is where is that teacher because if he's not gonna show up we might as well leave." Tom complained.
"Rushing somewhere?" Jo laughed. Her laugh was one of the many things she did that brought a smile to my face. And I wish I didn't have to sound as sappy as I do but it was the truth. Jo Harvelle had completely flipped over my priorities.
Another ten minutes passed filled with every day casual conversation between the three of us. Obviously, the old man decided not to show up and waste our time. So we decided to leave.
. Tom had gone in the opposite direction and quite in a hurry too mentioning only the words 'late' and 'girlfriend' which to us made no sense.
"Are we still going to the music store?" Jo asked as we walked through the corridors.
"Sure if you want. And mine after? To study, of course." I gave her a wink making another laugh of hers fill my ears.
"Well… if it's to study I suppose I can come over." She joked back. I joined in with her laugh and put my arm around her shoulders.
Unfortunately, much to our dismay, the cheerleaders had just finished their practice or whatever skipping things they do and were also making their way towards the car park. Jo and I carried on walking, at a faster pace now, towards my car.
We could hear the whispers and glimpses of their stares out of the corners of our eyes. So I decided to be dramatic. I spun Jo around on her heel and pressed my lips against hers with more passion than ever. Gasps. Jo quickly caught on to my intention and kissed back. A kiss like that made my heart beat faster. A kiss like that made rivers stop flowing, clocks stop ticking and the earth stop turning. It made flowers bloom in early spring and snow fall on Christmas day. It was the sight of a falling star, the first day of summer, the sea that kisses the shore, a kiss that could stop wars. And that's how I knew, Jo was what made me happy.
Hope you enjoyed this one. I apologise for the lack of story development but I thought you guys might like a break before what happens soon o:) Remember to review ;)
