Thoughts.

(Patricks POV)

I CANT STOP thinking about Joanna.

Not in a romantic way. How am I supposed to talk to her?

She hates me. The feeling is mutual.

"We know what you're trying to do with Joanna Elsinore." A voice states from my right.

I glance to recognise the face as the new boy, the one i'd seen when i was in Ms Perky's lair.

"Oh. Is that right? And what do you plan to do about that?" I reply, continuing with my work.

"H-help you out."

Huh?

"Why's that?" My voice comes out slightly more confused than confident.

His friend speaks out now, "The situation is-"

The friend continues to flinch while watching me. He's scared as shit.

"- my man Cameron here has a major jones for Bianca Stratford."

I pause my work. Damn this girl must be good.

"What is it with this chick? She have beer-flavoured nipples?"

"Hey!" Cameron ,clearly, is in deep for her. This dude is standing up for her.

"I..uh.. i think i speak correctly when i say that Cameron's love is pure. Purer than say.. Joey Donners." The friend chimes in again.

"I hate Joey Donner." I state blankly, "Look, im in on this for this cash. He can plow wherever he wants to."

"There will be no plowing" Cameron's getting mad now. This girl has him wrapped.

Damn this i just want the money.

"Patrick- uh Pat- Let me explain something to ya here. We set this whole thing up-"
Woah wait what?

"-so Cameron can get the girl. Cameron. Joeys just a pawn."

If these guys are telling the truth.. Joey is being played at something he thinks he controls. Good.

"So, you two are gonna help me tame the beast."

"Absolutely."

"We'll do some research, find out what she likes. Were your guys!" He exclaims at me.

"He means that in a strictly non prison movie typa way." Cameron stutters.

These two are scared. Funny.

"Starting here. Friday night. Bogey Löwenstein is having a party. It's the perfect opportunity. Everyone knows she's a party person."

"Perfect opportunity for what?" I'm a bit confused on what he's suggesting right now.

"For you to take out Jo. Bring back the party animal."

Party animal? Really?

I've heard stuff about her at parties but to be honest, I thought it was just rumours.

"I'll think about it." I say turning away from them.


 

I said that I'd speak to Cameron once he'd found out some information to help me understand Jo.

I think back to the childhood we shared. Every time the street kids would ride around on bikes she'd be there too. 

Riding around the neighbourhood, playing games, but I remember her most for her camera. 

I remember she had gotten it as a gift for her birthday, and the next day she had made a makeshift satchel and brought it along with her.
