Chapter Two: When She Stares At Your Mouth

A/N: Okay, so I hope that I didn't confuse you last time… I'm going to add the first part before the chapter (i.e. When She Walks Away Mad…) And the second part after the chapter (i.e. …Follow Her.) So I hope you weren't confused about that! Anyways, I wanted to thank each and every one of you so, so, so much. All of your kind words, and amazing comments/reviews have literally let me speechless and smiling like an idiot. You guys are truly wonderful, and I want you all to know how much each word you spend time to say is appreciated. I wouldn't have the push to continue writing without the inspiration from every one. You have all seriously blown me away, and these words aren't enough o express how I feel. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are all positively brilliant.

When she stares at your mouth…

"The upcoming test on Friday will include the following– Patricia! Pay attention in my class!" Mr. Sweet was nearly fed up with her. She barley cared for science, she performed her homework lazily, she didn't care to always listen or respect the teacher, and somehow it just happened to be her that his son chose to date.

Eddie turned his head to where Patricia was sitting, and noticed her quickly turn away. Was she looking at him?

"Good." Mr. Sweet smiled at the full attention he had, and continued to review for the test.

Patricia, however, was incapable of keeping her mind from wandering. Her day had been boring, and quiet. She was loaded with homework, and upcoming tests that required hours of studying. Even though Eddie was in the same situation, she was appalled to find that he had barley even looked at her that day. She had sat next to him during breakfast, and of course at the time he was talking to Alfie and Jerome, but once that was over, he didn't even mumble a "hi" back to her. They had passed each other a ton of times in the hallway and he just rushed past her, as if he cared about getting to class on time. She understood that he hadn't come to fourth, fifth, and sixth period, he spent 'Eddie Time' alone, and always came back seventh period just to show up in his dad's class. But it wasn't like he chose to sit next to Patricia – he was late, as anyone would be if they were coming from their house to school – and the only avaliable seat had been one next to his girlfriend, who he still didn't greet.

Patricia just wanted him to notice her. Her day was getting increasingly worse, and the fact that she had no one to reassure her that she could handle it, the fact that that person wasn't Eddie – that made her day awful. She just wanted him to hold her. No, scratch that.

She so desperately wanted him to kiss her.

Patricia spent the rest of science class, thinking of ways to approach Eddie and find out why the heck he hadn't noticed her all day. Absentmindedly, her eyes wandered over to him, always seeming to fixate on his lips. His lips that were pursed as he listened attentively to the lesson. She would quickly peel her eyes away, or begging tapping her foot to cover up, if he turned to look at her.

Eddie's day hadn't been perfect either, and he had his reasons for ignoring Patricia. He was nervous. He didn't want to break down in front of her, and act like a complete idiot. His night had ended with a call from his sister, Ella, searching for support after an emotional break up with the guy she loved, Garrett. In the morning, he went over to his dad's office early, to see if he had heard any more news about the break-up, and was wondering if he knew how Ella was doing. However, when he arrived, the sound of his father's raised voice echoed down the school's empty hallway. Cautiously, Eddie had walked towards the closed office door, and listened in. Numerous times, he heard his mother's name, and cruel words that only marked yet another fight between his parents. As stupid as he thought it was of two grown, and divorced people to fight, he knew that it had been Ella's break up that had promoted the conversation. He couldn't stand his family always upset, or angry, or fighting – and talking to Patricia could only make him more upset. He didn't want to talk about messed up love with his girlfriend. That would have felt wrong.

While Patricia did a good job at covering herself up when Eddie's eyes drifted towards her, she wasn't good enough. Eddie knew she was looking at him, he knew she was staring at his lips, and he really knew he could use a Patricia kiss. Right then, right there, in the middle of science class.

"Hey Yacker." Eddie hissed, tapping her shoulder. Patricia looked up startled at Eddie, who was actually acknowledging her. "Come here." Wearily, Patricia leaned in. Being in a room of chemicals, with Eddie was not a good mix. The last thing that she possibly expected was for him to bring his lips to hers. Which was the exact reason why he did.

The couple sat there, ignoring Mr. Sweet's astonished reaction, the laughing of their classmates, and the fact that they had spilled a bottle of experimental salt at their feet, kissing each other, and making up for the time they had lost earlier in the day.

"Miss Williamson! Edison! To my office immediately!" Patricia and Eddie broke away embarrassed, and quickly collected their bags. Giving Mr. Sweet a teasing salute, Patricia left the room, and was followed out by Eddie.

"That was so embarrassing." Patricia's cheeks turned red as she faced Eddie, but a smile still broke out on her face. "I mean he like-"

"Oh Patricia just stop yacking."

Once, again, Eddie brought his lips to her's, and in the empty hallway, with no one to disturb them, or a class to get too, they had all of the time they needed.

Time to make up for their lack of conversation.

…kiss her

A/N: Hmmm… that was pretty unique. I'm not so sure where I went with this chapter – I guess I was just searching for a Peddie kiss that hadn't been done yet. Anyways, I hope you liked it, and thank you all again for your amazing reviews! Love ya all!
