Song of the chapter
SLUT; Taylor Swift
"Everyone wants him, that was my crime."
"And I break down, then he's pullin' me in
In a world of boys, he's a gentleman."
"Taking your chance, it's a big mistake
I said it might blow up in your pretty face."

It had been nearly seven weeks since having to sit through Claire telling me all about my brother taking her virginity.
It was a Thursday and snow had lightly dusted the ground this morning, making me pray for a snow day, but that unfortunately did not happen.
I hadn't talked to Patrick in weeks and I was trying to keep a distance from him. I knew if we spoke I'd crack and all hell would break loose.
The last thing he needed was me dragging him down with all my baggage.
Walking through the doors of Tommen with Claire by my side I felt extremely ecstatic that it was nearly winter holiday.
"Morning, family!" Claire called out as we entered the sixth year common room.
She stopped under a piece of mistletoe and smacked a kiss to Patrick's cheek.
If she was anyone else I would've strangled her to death, but I knew Claire meant no harm.
"Morning," Everyone muttered.
"What was that for, Baby Biggs?" Patrick laughed, wiping Claire's lip gloss from his cheek.
"Check where you're standing," She grinned.
Patrick looked up and then took three steps back into safety.
"Thanks for the heads-up," He sighed, looking awkward when his eyes met mine, "Those two girls from your year have been following me around all week with the stuff."
"What?" I gaped, sounding more furious than I intended to.
"Helen and Shelley?" Claire laughed, "Aw, see, Pa, I tried to warn you about the trail of girls following after you."
"Hmm," He mumbled, not taking his eyes off me.
I swallowed my anger. I knew he was hot, I mean look at him.
And it was expected girls would be trying to get with him, but my gut was twisting with jealousy.
With Claire off chattering to Joey and Aoife, I looked to Patrick.
"So, Helen and Shelley," I gave him a tight lipped smile.
"Never going to happen. Don't worry, Gibson," He gave me a dimpled smile.
"I wasn't-," I sighed, accepting defeat, "Good to know."
"I'm going to France!" Shannon screamed, bursting into the common room with Gerard and Johnny.
