I Know You Feel The Same Way.

Chapter 6 - Steak 'n Shake

(Skylar's POV)

"Reservation for 4." Katie tells the receptionist.

"M'am, this is Steak 'n Shake, we don't do reservations." She mutters, with a strong country accent.

"Oh umm... Right." Katie replies, unsure.

"So table for 4? Right this way." She insists, Patrick laughs, wrapping his arm around my waist again.

I tense up, but try not to show my nervousness. When we get to the table, Katie and I say we're going to freshen up. As we go into the bathroom, I start burst-out laughing.

"What?" Katie asks, looking at herself in the mirror.

"Steak 'n Shake. Really?" I chuckle.

"Well we're on a tight budget, okay?" She grumbles.

"Fine fine. As long as I get the coloring book." I suggest, sarcastically.

"Oh shut up." She answers.

(Jeffrey's POV)

"Julz, where are you. We're gonna be late." I yell, adjusting my bowtie.

"Here I am." She mumbles, I quickly turn, a smile pulling at my lips.

"Oh...." I whisper, grabbing her hands, and pressing my forehead to hers.

"Come on. We gotta go." She responds, with a sigh.

"Why the long face?" I ask, raising her chin.

"I really just want to stay here, but I know how much this means to Patrick..." She replies, with a weak smile.

I quickly kiss her lips, then dart out the door.

(Shawn's POV)

"What's taking them so long?" I ask, annoyed.

"They're girls and they need to make themselves pretty." Patrick mumbles, looking over the menu.

"Apparently, she's fine to you. I saw the way you were looking at her." I laugh, with a smirk.

"Shut up." He quickly says.

"I don't blame you. Gotta admit she is pretty ho-" I start.

"Hey guys, sorry we took so long." Katie interrupts, while Skylar smiles innocently.

"No problem, I ordered us all Strawberry shakes, is that alright?" Patrick asks us, more directed to Skylar than anyone.

"Yeah, sounds great." They both insist, after we eat, Katie and I decide to go pay.

"They're so cute." Katie whispers, I turn and look at them. Shocked really.

"You've got ummm... A little Something..." Skylar mumbles, licking her thumb and wiping Patrick's cheek.

They both start to laugh and Patrick's cheeks turn bright red, he gets up and he leads her over to us.

"Ready?" I ask, they both nod and we pile back into our limo of sorts.

(Julia's POV)

"Where's Patrick?" I ask, grabbing some punch.

"I dunno. He should be here." Jeffrey replies, grabbing a block of cheese.

"Who's he with again?" I question him.

"Sk-" He starts, when they finally come in. I look over at the girl in the breath-taking blue dress.

"Hey Jeff, she ain't half bad." I joke, punching his shoulder.

He starts choking on the cheese, and basically dying.

"God. Don't die." I whisper, looking around in embarrassment.

"Thanks for the advice." He mutters, clearing his throat.

(Skylar's POV)

Patrick goes to say hi to Jeffrey and Julia, and drags me along. I avoid eye contact with either of them. Patrick notices how uncomfortable I am, and leads me over to the dance floor. I see his eyes wandering, Searching for someone, as the song plays on.

"Patrick." I say, waving my hand in front of his face, he snaps back to me and laughs to himself. "Who are you looking for?" I ask.

"No one." He softly replies.

After around 20 minutes, the music cuts off, revealing the principal on the stage.

"Hello, students. We are ready to announce the King and Queen!" He practically yells, everyone goes quiet and is biting their nails. "Welcome your new king and queen... Patrick... And Skylar!" He announces, a light beams down on us.

Nervousness floods through me as everyone's eyes set on me. Patrick let's out a small chuckle, walking us over to the stage. We get the crowns placed on our heads and are put on the center of the stage.

"Now, your King and Queen would like to say a few words." He gestures, handing Patrick the mic.

"Sorry." He whispers to me.

"Wh-" I get cut off..

"I'd like to address Cat... You're absolutely stunning. I wish nothing more than to make you mine. Even if that means surrendering my crown at your feet." He shouts, everyone's jaw drops, except mine.

I remain perfectly still, as the girl runs up to the stage. Patrick lifts her up, turning to me.

"Do you mind?" He politely says, gesturing towards my crown.

"Of.. Of course...not..." I reply, taking off the crown and placing it on her head... "It looks better on you anyway..." I admit, she looks at me truly apologetic, I ignore her sympathy, running out through the side door.
