Chapter Text
Thursday 9:37pm
The house was filled with excitement when they heard that a new girl would be arriving at Anubis House in the coming days. Jerome hoping she would be beautiful and a prankster like him. Alfie hoping that she didn't like food too much, so he could have more. Fabian hoping that he, and the rest of the house would be friends with her, and that she would be a nice person. Eddie..... well Eddie wasn't focused on that... he was focused on his surprise for Patricia, he barely even noticed how the girls were reacting.
Patricia didn't want a new girl, because she was worried that she would be prettier and meaner than her, and that Eddie would take interest in her. Nina, Amber and Joy were ecstatic, jumping up and down like a bunch of 13 year old girls at a Justin Beiber concert. Mara was (as usual) up in her room studying, with headphones on her ears and couldn't hear what was going on downstairs.....
"So... what are you hoping she will be like?" Nina asked the girls. Joy answered with, "well me and Patty are going to be sharing a room with her, so let's just hope that they get along". "why wouldn't we get along?" Patricia asked, taking offense. The girls looked at each other. "Well, it's just that-" Nina began speaking, only to be interrupted by Amber, "have you met you? you have poured drinks on how many people now?" "Six" Joy answered. "Six?!" Nina said, confused. "yes, six, Nina, Eddie, Lily, David, Sam and....." Amber said, while trying to think of the sixth persons name, before Joy told her, "Cami!" "Cami! That's it, I never liked that girl, she was too stuck up" Amber said with no hesitation. "Wow, I thought I was just me and Eddie" Nina admitted. "Yeah six people, so what? I ended up on good terms with most of them, Nina, Eddie, Lily and Sam" Patricia told them. "You and Sam ended on good terms? Didn't you slap him in the face before he left after he told you that you were 'smoking hot'? Joy asked. "Okay maybe not with Sam but still, 3 out of 6 is good enough, it means this new girl has a 50% chance of me liking her". "that's not how it works Patricia" Nina told her.
After a few minutes, they heard Victor doing his usual ritual. "It is ten-o-clock, you have five minutes precisely, and then I want to hear a pin..... drop". "Well looks like it's time for bed, g'night!" Joy said to the girls. "Goodnight" the three of them said in unison. "So, meet in the kitchen at 11?" Nina reminded them. "Yep, I'll go and tell Alfie and Fabian" Patricia said as she snuck off to the boys' room's.
While Amber and Nina made their way upstairs, Patricia knocked on Alfie's door, and then slipped a note under it. She then ran over to Fabian and Eddie's room, but this time she just knocked on the door. When Fabian answered, she quickly handed him the note before Eddie came over. "You looking for me?" Eddie asked her, "I've actually been meaning to talk to you" Fabian looked at Patricia "i'll leave you two to talk, I need to go to the bathroom anyway" Fabian said before walking out the door and into the boys bathroom. Patricia walked into the dark room while Eddie held the door open. "So, what did you want to talk about?" Eddie whispered. "Er, well I just hadn't really seen you all day and just wanted to say... goodnight" Eddie gave her a confused look and said, "you snuck in here, with the chance of being caught by Victor, to say.....goodnight?..... anyway, that doesn't matter, I was going ask you if you wanted to go on a date tomorrow?" "What kind of date?" Patricia asked, with a smile on her face. "It's a suprise, and I know you don't do restaurants, so just to say, it's not a restaurant" "okay, well I've got a pretty busy day tomorrow, so what time were you thinking?" "5:30? Meet me at the bottom of the stairs?" Eddie asked her. "Okay, I guess I'll see you then... goodnight" as Patricia walked towards the closed door, Eddie grabbed her arm, "wait", and pulled her back. He looked her in the eyes and moved his face closer to hers, and gave her a quick kiss. "Goodnight Yacker".
