"I have something for you." Eddie pulled Patricia aside during the after party. Patricia—who seemed to be avoiding everyone—had been standing by herself, counting the money the fundraiser had gained for her mother's café. Drew, being the good guy that he was, was helping her.
"Go ahead." Drew gave her a small smile. "I can take care of it."
Patricia smiled at him and nodded, allowing Eddie to softly lead her away by her hand.
"Listen, Yacker." Eddie began. "I know we haven't even started senior year, but…" He seemingly got scared and trailed off.
"But what?" Patricia urged.
"But there's something I need to ask you." Eddie nervously shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Okay…?" She gave him a skeptical look.
"You love me right?" Eddie asked, though he could feel a small blush creep up his cheeks.
"Yeah." Patricia blushed. "Obviously."
"Well, I can't see myself with anyone else, ever, so…" Eddie got down on one knee. "Maybe you should marry me."
Patricia smiled, and to Eddie's surprise—and disappointment—laughed. "That has got to be the worst proposal I have ever heard." She smiled down at him. "But, yes. I will marry you."
"Yes?" Eddie slowly stood up.
"Yes." Patricia clarified, nodding. The couple hugged, never having been so happy and together in their lives. "After I'm finished with highschool of course."
"Yes! Anything!" Eddie kept his arms around her, not wanting to let her go.
"Okay, you're getting way to soft and cheesy, Slimeball." Patricia said, quickly returning to her usual self.
"Right." Eddie said, completing regaining his composure—or pretending to. On the inside, he was jumping for joy.
"Congratulations." Drew approached the couple.
"You already heard?" Patricia asked as she slipped her arm around Eddie's waist.
"I think we all did." Drew said, motioning to Patricia shirt. She looked down to see that the microphone she had on her shirt was still there and someone—Drew it had seemed—had turned it on.
"Oh well." Eddie shrugged, putting his arm across Patricia shoulders. "The more the merrier as they say."
"Whatever." Patricia laughed as more of their friends surrounded them, enveloping them in a giant group hug.
So… The end. And it sucked, yes. To the point where I'm thinking about rewriting it. I would've updated sooner, but I was on vacation, and then my account was being dumb and not letting me in, and then I had a bit of family drama… so yeah.
I know I said I would write a sequel to this, but I just have A LOT on my plate right now. I'm not saying that this story (or the website) isn't important, but I have been doing a TON of stuff for Wattpad and FictionPress and I'm really enjoying developing my own characters. Also, I was asked by some friends of mine to do a Code Lyoko fanfiction, so I'm excited for that. So, unfortunately, as far as the sequel goes, consider it canceled, for now, anyway. I could change my mind. Part of why I took so long to write this was because I didn't know how—or really want— to say this. I'm REALLY sorry.
I've made a TON of friends through here and I really enjoyed the connections I had with many of you. Hopefully, you will see more of me soon. Sibuna! Peddie! HOA forever! (:
