Chapter 5:
Going home after that weird situation happening in class, i found myself wishing i had hit him, but then again that wouldn't have done any good at all.
"Hey, Dorothea are you here!" i called as i entered the front door and being overpowered by a sweet smell from the kitchen.
"Dinner's ready and there's something i need to tell you" Dorothea called back from the kitchen.
"what do you need to talk about?" i asked, perching on one of the kitchen stools.
"is it ok for me to leave early today?" she asked, looking nervous incase i said no.
"sure thing I'll see you tomorrow" i replied, taking a bite of my food.
"see you" she said and left, both of us doing our usual routine.
"Hey, Suzu can you come with me to Bo's arcade?" i asked over the phone with my too loud cousin.
"sure, when?" she replied sounding shocked and happy, like a mother who's child is finally growling up.
"tonight, now" i said taking two of my iron pills.
"I'm on my way" she said like she was in the military.
about half and hour later her Porsche came up the driveway.
"why do you need to go there anyway?" she asked as i got in the front passenger seat.
"Patch" i said, "he owes me answers."
"damn, i should have brought Jacob" she said, "i told him about the stuff he was asking you in class and he and the gang are mighty angry" she continued driving back towards town.
I sighed, i should've known she would open her mouth to him.
The rest of the drive was pretty much silent, with the exception of Suzu singing with her CD's that she played in her car all the time.
Walking into the arcade, it was it's usual crowded day and we made our way through the crowd's to oz's pool hall.
"there he is" i said, making my way across the room the boy and Suzu going over to the corner where Jacob and his gang was sitting. I didn't understand that at all Suzu said they were angry at him, i thought they would be beating the crap out of him the second they saw him, but then i figured Suzu never told them really, that bitch.
"Patch, you owe me answers" i said, walking right in front of him, "five minutes that's all I'm asking for."
"Patch, finish the game first" one of the guy's who were sitting around watching the game growled, giving me a deadly glare (which i ignored) for interrupting the game.
"the game can wait" Patch said and signalled for all of them to leave.
As all the total of five guy's left three of them gave me glares, one of them bumped into me and one growled at me and slapped my butt, Obviously thinking me and Patch were 'together'.
"now this will only be quick if you give me straight and honest answers" i said. He nodded.
"do you work part time?" i asked as i hopped up on to the pool table to use my knee to lean on.
"this is very sexual looking if i come up to you like this" he said, moving closer and closer to me.
"just answer the question" i said, trying to stop the blushing in my cheeks.
"i bus tables at the borderline" he replied, leaning closer and closer as i wrote down his answer
"religion?" i asked, using my hand to lightly push him away, but he kept coming after i pushed him away.
"not religion, cult" he whispered when he got as far as my ear.
pushing him away again, "you belong to a cult ok, not my problem" i said, "what's your dream in life?"
"to kiss you" he said in a smooth seductive tone.
"that's enough I'm serious here" i said, looking over to find Suzu making out with Jack and Jacob mouthing you need help.
"I'm serious too" he said, getting closer to my face.
Pushing him back with so much force, i hopped down off the pool table.
"why do you keep doing that!" i said placing my pen and paper into my little handbag i brought.
"doing what?" he asked, smirking.
"that provoking me" i said angrily.
"oh, say provoking again it made your lips seem irresistible" he laughed as i picked up his pool stick from the table and shoving it into his chest as hard as i could. when he took it his sleeve rolled down and i could see and identical mark of mine on his wrist.
Suddenly all my anger just washed away and turned to sadness, I'm being toyed with.
"what an unfortunate place to have a birth mark" i said, standing there and staring at him, i didn't even notice Suzu, Jack, Jacob, Razor, Pete and Louie had moved up behind me.
"Nora, i.." Patch began to say.
"you jerk you called me suicidal and everything , well, screw you" i said and picked up my bag.
"c'mon, we'll take you home" Jacob said, all of them giving him a evil look.
we all turned away from him to start walking up to the parking lot.
"stay away from her, she's had enough pain without you adding to it" Suzu hissed and turned to catch up.
Patch just stood there staring at the empty stair case for a minute or two, thinking over what Suzu just said to him.
"what did she mean by that?" he asked himself.
Up in the parking lot we were all talking about who's riding with who.
"well, you all have your bikes and i have ,y car so me and Nora will rife in the car"Suzu said.
"alright than we'll follow you then" Jack said as everyone started their vehicles engines and we left for my house.
