Disclaimer: don't own the mentalist, all I own is an addiction to solitaire and a active imagination

A/N man in good, two chapters and only 20 games of solitaire in one day, I slept most the day, so I didn't get 3 done like I would have liked to. I fell out of a tree today, I swear in accident prone, I didn't hurt myself too badly, just a sore bum =] haha, read on!

They were dismissed from gym 5 minutes early and were walking up to their usual table at the cafeteria when Catherine came running up to Patrick. Wayne instantly put his arm around Grace, to show he was taken and not interested in her

'Patrick, I can't take this anymore, I need to talk to you!' she said, panting out of breath.

'Sure, what's up?'

'I did it, I killed Flora, Annalise and Tori, Bree made me do it, she said I wouldn't get caught or anything, but I feel so guilty, she promised me you, Wayne, she said that you would go to prom with me and everything, oh but I can't live with the guilt! Me Olivia and Bree got out of class and met outside the classroom, we knew they would be in there smoking, we went in and shot them, oh god I'm so sorry, we hid the shell casings, we thought that someone else would get blamed. Bree said that Flora had taken Ryan away from her, he cheated on her, that she deserved to die, I don't know about Tori and Annalise, she just hated them all, and they had been mean to me too, I wasn't thinking, I'm so sorry' she blurted out, crying.

'Ok... you need to tell this to the police, then you will feel better, hear me, we can get them in now if you want?' he said calmly

'Yes, please, I feel so sick, I want to confess'

'Ok, I will call them very soon, here take a seat here with us' he said, he needed to keep a close eye on her.

'I will be right back' Wayne said as he got up

'Where you going?' Grace asked

'Locker'

'Ok, might join you in a couple of minutes' she said as he walked off

Grace finished her lunch and ran off in the direction that Wayne's locker was in. She ran past a couple kissing against the locker. Get a room. She thought. For no reason she did a double take, to see it was Brianna kissing Wayne! She stormed up to Brianna and pulled her off.

'Bitch!' she yelled and shoved her away

She then turned to Wayne, with tears prickling in her eyes

'How could you?' she said her voice shaking

'It's not what it looks like!' he said

'Explain then' she said

'Remember what Jane said, about watching out for Bree? Well she sent Brianna, she came onto me, I swear, I tried to shove her off, but she had a gun on me, I swear to god that I wouldn't hurt you like that, I couldn't hurt you, even if I tried, after what you have been through, I simply couldn't' he said

She saw they hurt and truthfulness in his eyes, and couldn't stay mad at him, but she wanted to punch the shit out of Brianna and Bree.

'Keep your mouth shut in the future when any cheerleader comes towards you' she said half smiling

'Am I forgiven?' he asked

She walked up to him and slipped her arms around him

'If someone had a gun on me, I would do whatever they said, you are forgiven' she said

'I'm so sorry Grace, I didn't plan this, I actually do need to go to my locker, and there is something in there I was getting for you' he said grabbing her hand and leading her towards his locker. He entered the combination and made Grace close her eyes. He got a small wrapped box out of his locker and told her to put out her hands to which she did.

'Ok, now open your eyes' he said

'Oh my god' she said looking at the parcel in her hands

'Open it' he encouraged

She did and inside was a gold necklace with a gold rose with a ruby in the middle on it. Her mouth fell open as she studied it.

'How can you possibly afford this?' she asked

'I was saving for a football college over in L.A but I have become really interested in police work recently, I decided I could splurge a little on a gift for the most beautiful girl I know' he said

'Thank you so much Wayne, they are gorgeous' she said

'Here, let me put them on you' he said taking the necklace from her hand and fastening it around her neck 'Just how I thought it would look on you, if not better' he said smiling

She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. Screw no PDA's she thought

'Come on, I want to show it off to the rest of the group' she said

'As you wish' he said running after her

'Teresa look at what he gave me!' she shrieked as she ran up to the table

'Omigod! That is amazing! You are so lucky!' she exclaimed

'Hush' Patrick said pointing to the phone at his ear

'Sorry' she whispered

Teresa and Grace continued to admire the necklace sharing silent squeals.

'The police will be here soon' he said as he put his cell phone back in his pocket

'Great, that means this will be over a lot sooner' Teresa said

'Thanks to...' Patrick said trying to start her next sentence to get recognition

'A smart bunch of teenagers who cracked the case before the cops'

'Meh, that will do' he said

An hour later the police had come and arrested Catherine, Olivia and Bree and they had drawn quite a crowd.

'This isn't over' Bree was yelling as she was lead into the police car 'I will be on top, I will be, you haven't seen the last of Bree Mills, mark my words!'

'Quiet doll face' the cop was saying

Grace and the rest of the group chose this moment to leave, not wanting to know what else Bree would yell.

'It's crazy what people would do for popularity' Grace said to Wayne and Cho as they walked off

'I know, I never bothered with it, couldn't be bothered being Mr Perfect' Wayne said

'You somehow managed to do that anyway' Grace said wrapping and arms around him

'Yea, I'm going to find Teresa and Patrick' Cho said, not wanting to be a third wheel

'No, wait, he is asking her to prom, properly'

'He will be rejected'

'Don't be so sure, who are you going to prom with?'

'Jade Chang, she is in my physics class, you won't know her'

'Good for you, just leave them alone for a bit, we will try not to be too lovey dovey for you' Grace said

They sat on a bench and waited for Teresa to come back, and when she did, she looked furious, she was a walking talking tornado.

'Who's idea was it to persuade Patrick to ask me to prom?' she demanded

Grace and Wayne cracked up laughing

'I'm waiting' she said, aiming her remark at them

'Did you say yes?' Grace asked between laughs

'I had to, he bribed me the cheeky fool!'

'How?' Grace asked

'Said that if I didn't go with him, he would hack into my face book account and say that I was in a relationship with James Crawford, that guy who sleeps with his pet ferrets, dirty cheat, and I have to dress up nicely' she grumbled

'Aw, it's ok, you can get ready with me' Grace sympathised

'I don't want your sympathy, you knew about this, didn't you?'

'We knew of it, we didn't think he would go through with it'

'Well, he did, and now I have to go to prom, I really don't want to!'

'It will be fun, you know it will'

'It won't, I will be stuck with Patrick all night'

'No, we will be together, lighten up'

'Fine'

'Hello everyone, Teresa' Patrick said as he waltzed over, Teresa gave him a dirty look.

'I would like to say that we are incredibly smart people and we should celebrate after school, ice cream parlour, my shout' he said

'Sounds good' they all said

Grace smiled, the parlour was close to her house, when she got home, she was going to confront her mom, and start planning for prom, today was turning out to be a good day.

A/N I loved this chapter, and don't worry, just koz the case is over doesn't mean this story is, I think I will get about 3-4 more, oh I lied again, prom is next, next chapter... sorry, so much to get in beforehand, and I am planning for the cheerleaders to try something between Rigsby and Grace again, ideas welcome, you will get a mention =]
