Chapter 5

Maybe one day i'll make creative chapter titles.

The voice belonged to none other than mullet boy. The rest of his gang stood behind Henry. Patricks arm still outstretched, he was almost the tallest of the group, Belch was the largest. Patrick watched with empty eyes as the boy crawled away holding his side.
Ally pushed her way to the front of the group and faced Henry.
"Poaching, huh? Well i dont see anything that marks this yours," she said slyly.
"Beat up who you want, the Losers Club kids are ours," he replied.
"Hmmm, well i dont know, Natalie and y/n what do you think?" Ally looked back. Natalie gave a small smile.
"This is the first time ive had fun in a while i wanna stay," y/n called a smile on her face. Patrick looked y/n right in the eyes his head tilted slightly to the left. Y/n shifted her weight to the other foot, uncomfortable in his gaze.
Henry raised an eyebrow.
"You girls are different then the others at our school," he said slowly.
"Yep," Natalie yelled a smile on her face, "Apparently we killed people! Dont see other girls do that!" Natalie and y/n broke down in howling laughter.
"Get a grip psychos!" Ally yelled angrily. The two girls stopped laughing immediately a look of stone appearing on their faces.
"Riiight," Henry said his eyes flicking from one girl to the other. "We heard about that,"
Y/n watched as Henry and Ally talked. Patricks gaze still on her. Y/n felt her pockets only the lump of the pocket knife was there. My lighter!
She looked around frantically, even turning her head to look up the alleyway but she couldnt see the sky blue container anywhere.
"Whatcha looking for?" Ally asked.
"My lighter,"
"Ya lost it?"
"Well duh,"
"Damn that sucks,"
"What are you girls talking about?" Ally asked walking back up to them.
"I lost my lighter," Y/n replied. The bowers gang still stood there chatting amongst themselves.
"I think they'll make good allies," Ally whispered.
"They're crazy," Natalie whispered back.
"You guys are the ones that started laughing for no reason," Ally hissed.
"Gotta laugh through the pain," Y/n hissed back," Anyways i gotta go get my lighter, its the only one i have left,"
"Well go then, ill see you later," Ally pushed y/n away. Taking one look back down the alley y/n noticed that Patrick wasnt there anymore.
Y/n walked up the alley and hopped over the dumpster. Walking down the street she kept her eyes peeled for the lighter. She made it all the way back to the convenience store without seeing it.
"Damn," y/n leaned against the wall.
"Looking for this?" A voice asked. She turned her head and saw him. Patrick.
Patrick stood at the edge of the alleyway that was between the convenience store and the pharmacy. He held the light blue lighter in one of his hands, the other was in his pocket.
Y/n reached out a hand for the lighter, stepping closer to him.
"Not so fast," he said. He took his hand out of his pocket and wrapped it around y/ns waist. He held the light up over his head (he is like two feet taller than you so there is no way your getting that lighter).
"C'mon you almost got it~" he cooed into y/ns ear. His face was close to y/ns and it made her blush slightly, as she could feel his breath on her neck.
Y/n felt his hand snake from her waist to her jeans waistband. She felt his fingers slide into the waistband.
Y/n lifted her left arm up the right arm and hand working desperatly to move Patricks hand away. She stood on tip toes. Her feeble attempt to get the lighter back made him smile.
Suddenly she had an idea. She lifted one foot then smashed it done on his foot. He dropped the lighter and grabbed his foot. She grabbed the lighter.
"Thanks, lovely," y/n called back, using the name he gave her when they first met.
He watched her as she walked away. He felt something in his chest. A surge of emotion that he never felt before. He felt a longing to be by her, yet he couldnt move, frozen to the spot.

Hope everyone liked the chapters so far! Still working on putting good ol Patrick into the chapters. Also wanted to explain the laughing thing. These are all still kids after all, forced to grow up as the world changes around them. And in the book the losers club break into howling laughter every once in a while, i wanted to fit some of that in this book, as a way for the girls to process things that happen to them.
