"So how was drama?" Patrick ask walking up to Zay and I. "Great!" I exclaim intertwining our hands. "But it felt like it went by quickly." Both boys start laughing. "What?" I ask curiously tilting my head. Patrick kisses my hand and says "you fell asleep didn't you Gracie?" Scrunching up my nose I say "no why would you think that?" Zay who was still laughing says "maybe because you were and plus you have an outline from your book on the side of your face."
Blushing uncontrollably I try to hide it but Patrick grabs my hand and says "you can hardly see it unless you're right in your face." Smiling I kiss his cheek and whispers "guess you're gonna be seeing it a lot until it fades away." "Gross guys I'm right here you know." Zay says raising his hand faking disgust. Patrick winks at me and I start laughing.
"So what we learn in drama ZB?" I ask. "Well since we're all seniors Mr. Hamlet is going easy on us, all we have to do is write a 10 page paper about our favorite play." I groan causing them to look at me. "Gracie why are you even taking drama? You don't want to be an actress." Patrick tells me. "I know but I like getting on stage and pretending to be someone else for awhile... maybe I will become a famous actress. Can't you just picture it?" I ask both boys.
"Yeah I can see it now Ms. Riley Matthews and her husband loverboy." Zay jokes lightly punching Patrick. "Hey that's Mr and Mrs. loverboy!" Patrick says grinning. "Aww you see us married in the future?" I say wrapping my hands around his waist. Patrick turns red and Zay laughs making Patrick glare at him.
"Yeah I do, why you don't?" He asked hesitantly. "Honestly?".. I pause making him nervous. "I do." Patrick blew out a breath and Zay jokes "Thor now you can show her your wedding book you made her." I start giggling and tell Zay to run." He laughs taking off shouting his goodbyes to me. Patrick turns to me and says "you headed home now?" I nod saying "yeah just got to run to my locker."
Patrick kisses me and says "call me when you get home so I know you made it safe okay?" Smiling I respond with "anything for you future husband of mine." Before he could respond Zay runs by singing going to the chapel causing me to laugh and Patrick to blush. "Oh you are dead ZB!" Patrick shouts not before winking at me and I blow him a kiss.
Watching as they disappear I sigh walking to my locker. Right when I open it my phone rings.
Riley-hello
Dad-hey sweetie it's me
Riley-what's up daddy! Are you still here at school? I was just on my way out
Dad-yeah I have a staff meeting. I was calling to tell you that Ava's mother called looks like Auggie is going to have to cancel your dinner plans
Riley-aw did she say why
Dad-apparently their teacher hates them and already assigned a big project for them
Riley-more likely he doesn't like Ava and poor Auggie had to step in and help
Dad-pretty much. I got to go love you
Riley-love you too daddy bye
Still laughing about my brother I didn't hear when someone walked up behind me and gripped my waist. Smiling thinking it was Patrick I say "Patrick you're gonna be late for practice." When he didn't answer I turn around and see a pair of green eyes I hated. Trying to push Lucas off me he just grips my waist harder. "Let me go!" I say with anger in my voice. "Come on riles you know you still want me and I know you still love me too." He said smirking at me. I look at him and do the one thing he didn't anticipate, I knee him in the groin.
"Damn it Riley why did you do that?" He ask holding himself. I close my locker and say with anger "I'm not riles anymore and I sure as hell don't want or love you." And with that I walk away. Once I make it outside I start running to the football field. I didn't know why Lucas was messing with me but I wasn't about to let him think he scared me.
But if I'm honest he did a little. I make it to the field and sit on the bleachers trying to catch my breath. When I do I see Patrick has spotted me. I knew he could tell something was wrong with me by the way he looked after I waved at him. Speaking to the coach real quick he walks up to me. "Hey Gracie I thought you had a dinner date with the AugMan?"
Plastering a smile on my face I say "yeah but he had to cancel, big project from school." Laughing he sits next to me and grabs my hand. "Let me guess the little misses got him in trouble?" Spacing out he looks at me and gets worried. "Gracie are you okay?" "Yeah just a little tired, I got to go Thor." I respond scrunching up my nose.
I kiss him and walk off the bleachers to my car. Hearing someone running behind me I race to my car and lock the doors. As I sit there with my head on the wheel trying to catch my breath I hear a knock. Looking up I see Patrick with a worried expression on his face. I unlock the door and he gets in. "Patrick what are you doing! You have practice coach isn't going to like this." I tell him hoping he wouldn't ask me questions.
"None of that matters to me." He says clasping my cheek. "I'm more worried about you." Trying not to scrunch my nose I tell him. "I'm fine just a little tired. What makes you think something wrong?" Looking at me he responds with "well for starters you called me Thor which you only do when you're making fun of me or around Auggie. Plus I can tell you're lying." Smiling I ask him how. Laughing a little he says "Gracie your nose gives you away everytime you lie." "Oh" I say giggling when he pecks my nose. "So now you want to tell me what's going on?" He says with a serious tone.
Shying away he turns my head to look at him. Taking a deep breath I tell him. "I'm gonna kill him!" Patrick shouts with anger trying to get out the car. I admittedly lock the door stopping him from leaving. Turning to look at me I tell him "what are you going to do search all over school and beat him up? That's only going to get you kicked off the football team and maybe worse. Lucas is harmless I can handle him" I pause and take a breath making sure he heard every word I said. "He just caught me off guard that's all nothing more."
Grabbing my hands and kissing them he sighs and says "okay Gracie anything for you." Smiling I say "thank you." He looks at me and says "did you really knee him in the nuts?" Laughing at him I say "yeah it was well deserved." Hearing that he starts laughing. "Shouldn't you get back to practice?" I ask him moving closer to him. "Practice can wait I rather enjoy what's about to happen here." He moves closer and I ask "what's about to hap-" before I could finish he smashes his lips onto mine.
"Okay hot head I think you need to get back to practice." I tell Patrick causing him to laugh. Kissing me one last time he says "looks like I owe you 20 now." I tilt my head and look at him curiously. He chuckles and says "I love you you know." Smiling uncontrollably I kiss him and say "keep it because I love you too."
