The Patakis

New housemate

"What do you mean he's staying with us?!" I said.

"Well I wouldn't have approved but he's one of my best friends kid. Apparently he got kicked out of his old apartment and needed a place to stay." My dad said.

"And he couldn't have moved back in with his dad?" I said.

"Olga show some respect!" Big Bob responded.

"It's Helga dad! Besides you hardly even know the guy!" I snapped rolling my eyes.

"It's fine Mr. Pataki, I understand why she would feel uncomfortable." The stranger said cooly.

I looked at him, giving him a look like I don't need your help.

"Oh well I guess if your not offended then that should take care of it." Big Bob said.

"Wait where the hell is he sleeping?!" I yelled.

If they said my room I was going to literally move out right then. Money or not, it beats having to share a room with a complete stranger.

"Oh don't worry honey he's going to be sleeping in the living room. You guys should get to know each other. If you guys need anything I'll be in the kitchen." My mom said. Then she left out of the room and went towards the kitchen.

I growled inwardly and looked him up and down. As much as I hate to admit this, the guy has a nice figure. I guess I wasn't the only one checking someone out. I saw him smirking at me with his hands in his pocket.

"Your not to bad looking yourself." I heard him say.

I blushed, embarrassed that he caught me looking at him. I then rolled my eyes.

"Whatever you better just stay out of my way loser." I said turning my back on him.

He ended up grabbing my hand making me have to look at him. He got closer and deepened his voice.

"My names Ian by the way." He said.

"As if I care." I said before I yanked my arm out of his hand.

He ended up laughing at me. Humph the nerve of that ass! I'm just gonna ignore him. Just as I said this I heard him say.

"I think you and I are gonna get along just fine." Ian said as he continued to laugh.

I flipped him off and stormed up my stairs and shut my door. I can't believe that my parents agreed to this.

After we had finished eating I went upstairs to call Phoebe.

"Hello?" Phoebe asked.

"Hey Phoebs." I answered.

"Oh hey Helga how's it going? Are you feeling any better?" Phoebe asked me.

"Nah just wanted to tell you why I'm so pissed off right now." I said.

"Oh what happened?" Phoebe asked.

So I explained to her the whole situation of the new guy. Though I left out the part of me having that encounter with the stalker.

"Wow that's a lot of stuff to deal with. You think you'll be okay there with him?" Phoebe asked worriedly.

"Don't worry I'll be fine. But if he messes with me I don't think he'll be fine. " I stated jokingly.

Phoebe giggled and we continued to talk about other school and girl stuff. I even decided to tease her about Gerald. Of course she would just stutter and try to ignore me. It was so funny, I could tell she was blushing like a tomato just from her voice.
