FALLING FOR THE FALLEN

"IT'S JUST A GAME"

NORA'S POV:

"Ugh look at him... he's such a... such a... manwhore." I said searching for the appropriate word that described the devil known as Patch Cipriano. Patch Cipriano. He was a junior whereas I am a sophomore, not that I had any reason to think about us together in any way. I hated him, he was a pig.

"Yes, he is, but you know that any girl in this school would ignore his reputation to roll around in his bed with him," my best friend Vee Sky told me.

"It's disgusting is what it is. You'll never find me being one of those girls. Ever. I'm serious Vee," I told her as she raised her eyebrows at me. Like every other girl in the school he did have an effect on me. I would be lying if I said he didn't. What set me apart from other girls at Coldwater highl is that I had no intention of doing anything about those urges. I refused to join the ranking of the school's sluttiest by sleeping with Patch Cipriano, no matter how freaking hott he is.

"Alright, alright. Let's just get back to practicing," Vee said stopping me before I went on my customary rant about Patch Cipriano and his band of idiots.

"Oh what, so we can enjoy having those assholes stare at us the entire time?" I asked shaking my head. I didn't know why I was in such a bad mood. Sure I'd been single for quite a while by now after Joey Mancusi and I broke up, but that wasn't why. Joey and I stayed really good friends which was rare for an ex couple. And, so far today Patch "the manwhore" Cipriano hadn't tried to hit on me, so really I shouldn't be grumpy.

"If that's how they get their kicks then fine. You're the only girl I know that doesn't like that senior guys are watching us practice," Vee shrugged.

"Alright, alright," I said going to stand in my position and wait for Vee to give us the cue.

"So are you letting me on the squad yet?" my long time arch-nemesis demanded as she walked up to us just before Vee gave the cue to go through the routine for the first time today.

"Not a chance Marcie. We don't like you and you don't like us. Since it's my squad, I figure it's my decision to keep you out," Vee told her smugly. Vee knew how much I hated Marcie, so she made it her own personal mission to make sure that she never came near our squad. Best. Friend. Ever.

"Fine. You know eventually you will realize that you need me more than I need you," she hissed before walking away towards Patch and his click.

"Out of all the bad decisions she's ever made, flirting with them is one of the worst," I said as she walked towards the table near where we were practicing.

"In her defense, which I never do by the way, they are smoking hot. If they weren't so vile and repulsive I would be over there with her. Well not with her, but you know.." Vee trailed off. Patch's group consisted of himself, Rixon, Owen, and Dante Matterazzi. They were the schools' bad-asses and trouble makers which made them the most popular group in school besides us. The cheerleaders and jocks were popular for being popular and Patch and posse were anti-popular essentially. I hated each and every one of them.

"If they had a good personality to go with their looks, then maybe I could stand them. But they don't so I can't," I said simply as I gestured for Vee to get back into formation and give us the cue to get going on practice.

I watched over my shoulder as Marcie planted herself on their table and was insistently flirting with Patch. He looked mildly interested at best as he turned his head to face her with that stupid smirk he always seemed to wear. She grinned at him and leaned in to whisper something in his ear. His smirk widened and I shook my head in response. He was such a pig. Not that I cared what happened to Marcie but even I could see that he wasn't actually into her. He was just pretending for the sake of getting laid. That's how Patch Cipriano worked. He would say whatever he had to say to charm his way into a girls pants. Then he would deny it and ignore the fact that he said it when he proceeded to ignore you for the rest of time since he had gotten what he wanted out of you. Patch Cipriano was one of the worst guys I had ever met so instead of associating with him in any way, I opted to just ignore him. I wanted nothing to do with him and that's the way I chose to live my life until he graduated. "Only two more years Nora. Only two more years." I told myself often

PATCH'S POV:

I half ignored Marcie Millar as I watched the cheerleaders practice only a few meters from where we sat. I only heard a quarter of what she said but I knew if I wanted to get laid tonight I would have to figure out a way to be more attentive to her. She was the only possible conquest at this time, but she was one I'd had too many times to count. She was good for a quick lay and not much more. She was definitely no fun to talk to, but it was her body that kept me civil to her. She was okay in bed and she was willing to do whatever it took to please me. Most girls were, but Marcie had the looks to back it up. And bonus, she didn't care that I was using her. Well either she didn't care, or she chose to not believe that was what was happening. Either way it wasn't my problem. I'm an expert on not showing commitment to people, perks of living in a commitment-free household. Commitment is more Scott's thing than mine.

"Patch... stop watching them. You're supposed to be paying attention to me," Marcie whined and sulked next to me, I fought the urge to roll my eyes. I glanced over my right shoulder and caught my best bud Rixon's expression. He rolled his eyes and I shook my head. Rixon didn't quite understand my need to keep Marcie hanging on. He's all for using a girl for casual sex, it's just his standards are much higher than mine. He would never go for a girl who annoys the hell out of him like Marcie. But she has a hot body and talented mouth so I don't really care. I just tend to ignore every single thing she says, which admittedly gets me in trouble sometimes, but again I don't really care. I ignore her, she gets pissed and walks away for a few days. Then she comes back and climbs right back into my bed or the backseat of my car, wherever I feel like it. Sometimes I even defile her in her own bed. That's always fun, since Marcie Millar is the daughter of Hank Millar, self-proclaimed 'GOD' of Coldwater.

"Patch... you're not listening to me," she whined in her keening little girls voice. I hated her voice so much and this time I really did roll my eyes.

"I'm not... oh well," I said as she wrapped her arms around my biceps and slid herself closer to me. She was wearing a "Patch approved" short skirt and tank top. I could see enough skin to get her kicked out of school which is what I like. I like it when a girl breaks the rules just to show me what I want to see. It's nice having that kind of power over the female species.

"Patch... I wanted to ask you something," she said grabbing my face and turning me to look at her. She leaned in and kissed me dirtily, and if she wanted me to agree to something that was the way to start.

"What do you want?" I sighed. I was fairly easy, bribe me with sex and I would go easy.

"So you know how we've been seeing each other for a while now," she started talking and I almost choked and spit out the coke I had just taken a large swallow of. Seeing each other? That's what she was calling it now?

"Seeing each other?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. We're seeing each other. I'm not seeing anyone else and I don't think you are either. I rock your world much too good for that," she smirked.

"Where are you going with this, so I can say no and we can be done with it," I said trying to rush her along.

"Do you have to be such an ass. But fine, you win. I want you to come home with me and officially meet my parents. They've been dying to meet the guy I'm totally into right now," Marcie told me and my eyes went wide.

"I don't know about you, but this is just sex to me. There is nothing more to it. I have no intentions ever of going to meet your parents. I'm not your boyfriend and I never will be," I told her not caring that I was being overly harsh. She needed to understand the rules. The rules were plain and simple... no boyfriend/girlfriend things. Meeting the parents definitely fell under that heading. She was the last girl I would ever pick to be my girlfriend, if I ever decided that I needed one of those. In my limited understanding of the subject, you had to at least like the girl who was your girlfriend and the only thing I ever felt for Marcie was lust and even that was fading.

"Why are you so awful Patch?" she asked getting off of the table and stalking away.

"Phew, you diffused that bomb successfully Cipriano.." Dante told me clapping me on the shoulder. I sighed and grinned at him.

"Was there any chance that I wouldn't?" I asked smirking widely again.

"Nope, I wasn't worried. If you keep that up, she's going to have your children named by next month," Dante joked.

"Which is why I need to let her go, at least temporarily. She needs to get over that stupid crush she has on me. It won't work out well for either of us. If she starts thinking she has some claim on me, it'll make getting other dates much harder," I noted as he cupped his chin in his hands.

"Yeah, what we need to do is find you a temporary replacement for her, so she knows that she too is replaceable," Dante pondered.

"Meh that won't be too hard for me to find," I shrugged before turning back to the cheerleaders on the grass in front of me.

~P&N*P&N*P&N*P&N*P&N~

NORA'S POV:

"So, are we almost done here today?" I asked Vee before I took a long drink of water and tugged my shirt down so it covered the maximum amount of skin it possibly could.

"Yep. So what's on the agenda tonight, Babe?" Vee asked as she pulled her sweater on over her shirt and picked up her bag.

"My mom is out-of-town for the night and Travis is heading to one of his friends houses. So I'm meeting my dad for dinner at Enzo's. We try to do that at least once a month just the two of us. It keeps him up to speed on my life," I told her. Sue me, I actually enjoy spending time with my parents. I honestly like my mom and dad and it doesn't matter to me that people my age are supposed to dislike their parents. I'm the one that truly enjoys their company.

"Cool. So I'll see you tomorrow?" she asked.

"Yep. I'll be here as I am every time there's practice," I told her.

"Good. I will see you then, Babe," Vee said.

"You too. Call me tonight if you're bored. We're due for some girl talk soon," I told her and she nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Yes we are for sure," she said before heading out in the direction of her car. I followed a couple of minutes behind her, needing to make sure I had all my stuff before heading to my SUV.

~P&N*P&N*P&N*P&N*P&N~

PATCH'S POV:

"I love cheerleaders man. They're so... cheery," Dante cheered as the last cheerleader left the grass.

"If you had to pick a cheerleader to fuck... which one would you pick?" I asked idly. I was curious about his answer, I hadn't actually slept with a cheerleader yet and I was eager to. I wasn't sure which one would make the best temporary replacement.

"I don't know dude. I like them all. I would like to have a cheerleader orgy," Dante decided.

"Rixon?" I asked. Although I knew his answer already. He'd been making the same set of googly eyes at the same girl for a long time now. I think it was time he got over that immature infatuation.

"Vee Sky. She is like a ray of sunshine in a dreary dark world," Rixon said with a grin.

"Rixon, watch it your corniness is coming out. Careful, you're starting to sound like a pussy," I laughed.

"Having crushes on chicks isn't a bad thing, Patch. You'd find it would be good for you." Rixon told me and I laughed again.

"There is no way in hell having a relationship of any sort would be good for me. I've never seen a functional one so I don't plan on attempting to have one," I told him because it was true. I'd never seen a healthy functional relationship and I probably never would.

"So who's yours?" Dante asked referring to the cheerleader I would like to fuck.

"Now don't judge me... but I want Nora Grey," I told them and they all laughed.

"Shit man, she's still a virgin. I heard her tell Blondie that she wasn't ready to give it up and that's why she and the Wonder Jock Joey she was dating before broke up," Dante laughed.

"Yeah, why the hell do you think I want her?" I demanded.

"Oh, so you just want another notch on your bedpost. Well good luck with that one buddy. Guys like us don't get to fuck girls like her," Dante told me.

"Want to bet? I bet I could get her in my bed or the backseat of a car in one date," I told them. I was completely confident in my ability and not even Nora Grey would be able to stop me from getting what I want.

"Put your money where your mouth is Cipriano. It's never going to happen in a million years," Dante chuckled.

"Patch, do you think it's wise that you're betting money on this? What if she finds out, she'd be really hurt." Rixon asked frowning. He was all for things like this, but he also didn't want to see his dream girls best friend hurt because of his best friend. It would lessen his chances even more with the beautiful Vee Sky.

"Yep. It'll be easy because it won't take any effort from me at all to get her into my bed. She's a virgin, so all she probably wants to do is to get rid of that pesky V-card. I'm more than willing to take care of that for her, while at the same time make it clear to Marcie that I am not hers," I told them as more of my plan fell into place.

"Well good luck with that. I bet you twenty bucks that you can't get her to sleep with you within a week," Dante gambled.

"I'll bet twenty that I can," I said and shook hands with him. I always did like a bet.

NORA'S POV:

I sat down at my fathers and my usual table and waited for him to show up. He had text me saying that he was running late but that he would be here soon. That was my father for you, he was Coldwater's resident family physician and he was incredibly busy. But he always made time for me and Travis and of course our mother. He was the perfect family man, and it meant that he spent a lot of time tired, but he was an amazing father.

"Well hello there," a voice that I hated but recognized immediately sounded out through the background chatter of Enzo's.

"Can I help you?" I asked him as he took the seat that my father would soon be occupying.

"Actually yeah, you can go on a date with me," he said smirking at me. I can't believe it, Patch Cipriano was asking me on a date. It was laughable really to say the least. I couldn't believe he was that delusional!

"Oh my God, you're not serious are you?" I asked him trying to control my laughter.

"I'm dead serious. You know we would have an awesome time together," he told me laying it on thick.

"I'm not interested," I replied hoping he would get the hint and leave me alone.

"Sure you are. I can see that you're attracted to me. Just give it up like we both know you want to," he told me and I glared at him

"I think you're in my seat," my father's voice interrupted and I was instantly relieved to see my dad standing at the table.

"Yes sir. I was actually just asking your daughter out on a date," Patch said and I rolled my eyes. He knew how to handle parents, that much was obvious.

"She's clearly not interested. So you can run along now,"my dad Harrison Grey said and Patch wisely walked away.

"Thank you daddy," I told him graciously.

"You're welcome sweetheart. So now what was that all about?" He asked cautiously.

"I don't know. He seems to think I'm going to be his new flavor of the month or something stupid like that. Which is not ever going to happen," I told him.

"That's my girl," my dad said patting my hand. Little did I know that was just the beginning.

So there's chapter one, what do you all think? I started another new story called 'He's Not An Angel, He's My Stalker' and I'm working on finishing my story 'Follow Your Heart' but since both this one and 'He's Not an Angel..' are both basically drafted to completion updates should be fairly quick as my readers have come to know me for. There is 25 chapters drafted right now in this first of three stories so we have a ways to go. I hope you enjoyed it and don't forget to check out my completed stories, 'Damaged' and 'His Angel' ('His Angel' will later have a sequel like this one). Thanks for reading! :)
