~Patricia POV~
"Amber!" I said loudly, she was recounting one of the many stories she remembered from high school. This one involved being late for class and me only putting eyeliner on one eye and leaving half my shirt unbuttoned.
"What Patricia? It was high school, we all had embarrassing moments! Like the time Fabian and Nina got caught kissing in the lounge and got detention for a month." She laughed and I started to at this point because both Nina and Fabians faces had gotten as red as a tomato. We had met them for lunch.
"OK, enough embarrassing moment talk. What about Eddie and Patricia's friend date tonight." Nina said, attempting to change the conversation. She and Fabian were doing really good and were engaged a couple of weeks ago. I had also found out that Amber was seeing Jerome, which literally left me speechless.
"Its not to be categorized as any type of date." I said firmly, Nina had been on that since Amber blurted it out as soon as we saw them.
"Oh come on Patricia, just admit it, you still like him." It was Fabian who spoke this time.
"OK, I do still like him a lot but that means nothing. Me and him are both older and High School is just a distant memory." I said, trying to make my self believe it more than them really.
"I know for a fact that Eddie still has feelings for you, he told me." Fabian said.
"When? When did he say it?" I said suddenly intrigued.
"A couple weeks ago, he said he saw some girl and she looked a lot like you and he freaked out and almost talked to her to see if it was you, but then realized it wasn't." Fabian told the story and the whole time all I could think about was how Piper had been in town a couple of weeks ago to see Alfie and didn't mention it to anyone else. That must be who he saw. How could he know it wasn't me?
"Well, tonight is just a friend thingy." I sighed and sat back. I looked at my watch it was about one thirty and I told Eddie I would meet up to talk about tonight after lunch.
"I think Patricia here has to get back to her prince to discuss their friend thingy" Amber said, reading my thoughts so we got up and said our goodbyes. Me and Amber were walking back to the school when she got on the phone with who I assumed to be Jerome.
"Alright, bye babe." She said as she hung up.
"That still shocks me." I said laughing, Really, Jerome and Amber were the two people I would have never put together.
"Believe me it shocked everyone. I still remember Alfie's face when he was told. Oh, Fabian was the funniest, he did a spit take." She smiled, she really seemed happy, I was glad.
"Are Mick and Mara still in Australia?" I asked, I remember them moving there together after graduation.
"Yeah, really we don't keep much contact with them. Honestly, me and Jerome didn't want to for obvious reasons. We do know that they have a baby now though, they are getting married in like a year or so." Its funny how Amber knows everything even if she doesn't even talk to those people anymore.
"Well, that's sweet. When are you and Jerome gonna get hitched?" I asked jokingly.
"I have no clue, that boy can't ever take a hint, I have dropped so many to him. Little things of course like, saying how fun it is to help plan Nina's wedding, or how she looks really happy, but he is the most stubborn boy, so I don't know if its getting through. You know what I mean?" She rambled on and on and I just smiled because I knew Jerome would be an idiot to not marry this girl. You can tell when she talks about him that she absolutely adores the boy. At this point we had reached the school.
"What do I say?" I asked suddenly afraid.
"You say hello and talk about tonight then call me later and we can talk about tonight and what you are gonna wear. Alright, listen I have to go, Jerome is worked through Lunch, he won't get off till like seven so im gonna surprise him with some cookies, love you, bye." She said then we hugged and I walked into the school, straight to the lounge. He wasnt in there because that is my great luck.
"Patricia!" I heard him call me from behind. I turned to see him coming to the room with an arm full of papers.
"Hey, sorry its a little after lunch, got stuck with Amber, Nina, and Fabian. I just got here." I said when he finally sat all the stuff he was carrying down on the coffee table.
"No problem. I was thinking about tonight, where you wanna go?" he smiled.
"Anywhere is fine, how about Andrew's?" I said, knowing it had been his favorite place to get food back in school.
"Sounds amazing! Can I pick you up around seven?" as he said this I noticed he hadn't changed much, the little things still made him smile, and he was still just as playful looking when he did smile as he had back when we were going out.
"Yeah, let me give you my address." I said and wrote it down on a piece of paper he gave me.
"Alright, I guess I will see you tonight then." He said and I left with a simple goodbye.
As soon as I got back to my flat I started looking in my closet, not really wanting to call Amber for the simple fact she would make me wear something way too over the top. I soon found that nothing in my closet looked right so I sent a text to amber and told her I had nothing to wear. I literally got a message seconds back saying she was coming soon.
She arrived within ten minutes with a huge amount of clothes to let me borrow if needed. I smiled, this is why I love this child.
"OK, so where are you going?" She got right down to business.
"Andrew's, his favorite." I said looking at the clothes and quickly becoming overwhelmed.
"OK, so casual but also kinda nice. This can be easily done." She pulled a pair of dark was jeans out and threw them at me.
"Thanks?" I said as I pulled them on.
"No problem, Oh this top would look amazing!" She said pulling out a dark purple tank top, it was actually perfect, not too embellished but just enough to look like I tried, but not too much.
"This is amazing, thank you so much, are you and Jerome going out tonight?" I asked putting the pearl earrings she handed me in.
"Yeah, he is taking me to some really nice place a little outside of town. Today is our two year and six months together." She smiled.
"Cute, well I hope you have fun." I said while looking for shoes which she walked in and automatically picked out the perfect flats for the outfit. I swear I don't know how she does it.
"Sit down, your makeup has to be perfect too, your hair is already freaking amazing." She said leading me to the chair.
"OK then. Do you think I look too put toghetehr, what if he comes in shorts and a t-shirt?" I said, already panicking.
"That isn't going to happen, it will go absolutely perfect. I promise you that." She said, putting on my eyeliner.
"Yeah, and prom was supposed to be perfect too." I said quietly, but apparently not quietly enough.
"No, talk like that. Prom is over, and so is high school. No more mysteries to solve, no more hearts to break." She said and smiled finishing my make up. I looked amazing. I looked at the clock. Perfect timing it was six thirty.
"Alright, I'm gone. Don't stay out too late and do not do anything you wouldn't wanna tell your mom about." She yelled as she left my place and I sat down for a moment, then the panic set back in. I heard a knock on the door before I could fake sick and cancel the whole thing. I answered and there stood Eddie in dark jeans and a dark red dress shirt untucked, he looked absolutly amazing, no doubt.
"You ready?" he said, looking me up and down.
"Yeah, lets go." I smiled walking out after him.
I think this was a tad bit longer right? I'm sure of it, I have no clue how long this story will end up being, but I am liking it. A lot! Anywhom, I hope you all enjoyed this story thanks for the reviews. Thank you to all the readers. Love you all! I will probably update again in the next week or so.
