Chapter 1: Gloomy Sunday
"What a perfect way to spend a Sunday evening!" Jerome groaned raising his arms up in defeat. "It's barely even eight o'clock!"
All the Anubis residents were slumped gloomily at their seats in the common room. It had been raining for four hours and everyones plan to have special date or just have a great evening hanging out with friends before school starts again the next day has been ruined by the storm.
"Oh, don't be so negative, Jerome." Trudy said "Come on, why don't you just have little treat and watch some Doctor Who or something."
Then she placed a plate of cookies at the table, gesturing for the teens to get some.
"Ha-ha! Yes!" Alfie ran to the dining table, snatched three cookies and shoved it one by one in his mouth "Thank you, Trudy!"
Mick did the same as well.
"Yes, Trudy, your cookies never fails to cheer us up in times like these." Fabian said before he got a cookie then going back to his chair. He was fiddling with guitar; probably trying to fix the tune of it.
Joy, Mara, Nina, KT, Willow and Patricia also stood up to get some of Trudy's cookies.
"Hey, Yacker, can you get me some too." Eddie said from his limp position at the couch. The tone of the way he said it was more of a command rather than a plea, which made Patricia irritated at him.
"Get your own, Slimeball." Patricia huffed.
"Ugh! come on," he pleaded "please, Patricia?"
"No." she said firmly, though she did toss one cookie to Eddie as she went back to her seat.
"Thank you!" Eddie said munching his cookie "but I did remember that I asked for 'some' not just one" he gestured at the half eaten cookie.
"Be thankful that I even got you one, Doofus." Patricia glared at him.
Eddie lazily raised his hands up and said "And that's why I love you!"
"Whatever..."
Jerome made a puking sound before saying "Look at you two, all fluffy and adorable!" he teased "Ugh, it's disgusting! What happened to the two of you, huh? Where's all the fun bickering stuff?". Then he got up and went to the dinning table to get some cookies, as did Eddie.
Everyone was just so gloomy about the weather that no one reacted on Jerome's unruly comments. Not even Joy or Patricia.
"Amber?" Trudy gave the girl a worried look.
Yes, Trudy?" she said, not bothering to take her eyes of her phone.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Trudy asked.
"Oh no, I can't."
"Why?" Everyone looked at her skeptically.
Amber peeled her eyes of her phone "Because I need to maintain my weight, duh." she said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"And again, why?" Jerome shook his head at Amber.
She stood up and rolled her eyes at him "Let me ask you this, Jerome" Amber glared at him "would you think that if Victoria Beckham were here, will she indulge at some delicious, high calorie, fattening cookies? No offense, Trudy." she added
"Ah, but Victoria Beckham is not here." Jerome mocked her.
The Anubis residents were watching intently at Jerome and Amber, with eyebrows raised in anticipation; everyone was waiting on who would break the intense glaring game the two had started.
"Wow, everyone is just so gloomy and grumpy." Willow said dreamily "Bad vibes." she shrugged.
The tension died down and was replaced by an eerie silence and the continuous rain drops and loud thundering of the night. Just as the silence was about to sink in, Amber's stomach grumbled; loud enough to be heard through the stormy night.
Everyone laughed while Amber turned pink.
"What would Victoria Beckham do now?" Jerome laughed, turning away from Amber
Amber walked to the table with an cheeky smile on her face. She stood behind Eddie and Jerome, then without warning she swatted the two boys' shoulder. The flabbergasted look on the two boys' face made everyone burst into laughter.
"What was that for?" Jerome turned to face Amber, still really shocked about the surprise swat he got.
"That was for being tactless," she stuck her tongue at him then snatched the cookies out of his and Eddie's hands. "and this is for Victoria Beckham." She ate the cookie she snatched from Jerome's hand with one bite.
"Wow, Ambs, I didn't think you could eat that cookie with one bite!" Alfie said in between his laughter "I mean, I know Trixie can, but you?"
The comment he made earned him a glare from Amber and Patricia, with the latter chucking a pillow at him.
"Not the point here," Eddie interrupted "Why'd you hit me?!"
Amber ate the other cookie she got from Eddie "for good measure." she laughed.
She leaned in to the table in between the two boys and got another cookie. "And because you were close enough to hit." she added heading back to her seat at the common room.
"Oh don't be such a baby, Eddie." Patricia teased.
"I swear, girls are just confusing." Eddie whispered to Jerome.
"Tell me about-" Jerome was interrupted by squeal from Joy.
"Oh my God! NO!"she exclaimed "Matt Smith's going to quit being the Doctor!"
"What?!" Mara, Fabian, and Alfie stared at Joy.
"Yes, it said here that he will make his last appearance at the Christmas special this year." she showed them her phone.
Jerome leaned in at the couch to read the article on Joy's phone "That's a shame, I liked him."he said nonchalantly "Maybe not as much as the tenth but, you know, he is right."
"About what?" Mara shifted her head sideways.
"About bow ties. They are cool" he said matter of factly.
"Well, that's just it!" Alfie folded his arms like a stubborn child "First, it rains like Hell here and then Matt Smith quits Doctor Who! How can this day get any worse!"
"I just hope that he'll be ginger next time." Mick said to no one.
"Are you mocking me?" Patricia raised an eyebrow at Mick.
"You're not a real ginger, Yacker." Eddie rolled his eyes.
"Shut up, Weasel!"
Fabian shook his head and stood up from his chair "Well, there's no point being here now. And it's nine thirty." he looked at his watch. "Thirty more minutes and Victor will make his-"
"Pin drop speech." Everyone said in unison.
One by one, the Anubis residents left the common room and settled into their respective rooms. Still feeling down about the turn out of the events of the day, the only good outcome of it was that classes were suspended the next day.
A/N: Well, that was pointless... it's not really how I wanted it to end but it just happened, you know. And the Doctor Who idea just came to me when I saw Crabstickz's Doctor Who video. To be honest, I'm not really one of those huge fans of DW but I have watched a few episodes and the 10th and 11th Doctor were tied as my favorite!
Originally this was a grumpy little sassy fic but I tried to throw in some cheeky stuff to tone down the grumpiness and this is how it turned out.
It's not my best. I still think this was utterly pointless but I would love to read your opinions. Maybe give me prompt or a request, that's okay with me too. As for the class suspension at the end, I'm not really sure if classes do get suspended in boarding school because, you know, the already are in school.The idea came to me last week(it was a Sunday) when first day of will start again and it was raining so heavy here.(I was hoping that classes would be suspended too, but no luck.)
I hope you enjoyed this!
