Here's my first House of Anubis story! This is also the first time that I've written a story in third person, so please let me know if I mess up anywhere.
"Well, here I am, again," Nina said, standing at the entrance to the house. She had been looking forward to coming back all summer. What she didn't know is that this year was going to be very different.
"Are you just going to stand there Nina?" Jerome asked.
"Jerome's still Jerome," Nina muttered, walking into the house. She took her stuff upstairs, not bothering to make conversation with Jerome. It was not something that Nina liked to do.
"Nina!" Amber said excitedly when Nina had barely walked into the room. Amber got off her bed and ran to give Nina a hug.
"I've missed you so much. I see that we still need to fix your hair," Amber said, touching her hair. Nina smiled.
"I've missed you too Amber. Hey, have you seen Fabian anyway?" Nina asked, wondering where Fabian was.
"He's not here yet I don't think. Have you tried looking downstairs?" Amber answered, trying to be helpful.
"No, I haven't. Jerome was being, Jerome when I walked in, so I did not want to stay down there." Amber looked at Nina like she understood.
"You could have like, just not listened to him. He's really weird." Nina chuckled.
"Alright. I'm going to go find Fabian." Nina walked out of the room that she shared with Amber and went downstairs.
"Fabian!" Nina said when she saw his face.
"Nina!" Fabian said. Nina ran down the stairs and pulled Fabian into a tight hug.
"I've missed you," she said, staring into his brown eyes.
"I've missed you too. How was your summer?" Fabian asked.
"Great," Nina said. She leaned in closer, then Jerome, who had probably been standing there the whole time, cleared his throat to let Nina and Fabian know that Jerome was there too. Nina took a step away from Fabian and they both looked at Jerome.
"Hello Jerome," Nina said, while waiting for him to leave, but then the front door opened and Mara stepped inside while holding Mick's hand. Oh, how this annoyed Jerome. Why does everyone have to be so happy? Why can't I be happy? Because every girl that I like has a guy, that's why. Jerome thought to himself while seeing the two happy couples. He then walked back into his room, to come up with a plan to get what he wants.
"Hey Mara," Nina said, while hugging her.
"Hey Nina," Mara said when they were done hugging.
"I think that Patricia is in the living room," Nina said.
"Thanks Nina," Mara said, dragging Mick with her to go see Patricia. Mara walked into the living room and saw Patricia and Joy.
"Patricia! Joy!" Mara said, running towards them and then pulling them into a group hug.
"Hey," Patricia and Joy said.
"How were your summers?" Mara asked, making conversation.
"Great," Patricia said.
"I'll leave you two to talk. I want to go find Jerome. I need to talk to him about something," Joy said, walking out of the room and down the hall to where Jerome's room was located. She knocked on the door and Jerome asked,"Who's there?"
"Joy," she said, hoping that Jerome would let her in.
"Come in," Jerome said. He knew that it would be easier to get to Nina if she was single.
"What's up?" Joy asked.
"Do you still like Fabian?" he asked, looking up at Joy from his bed.
"Well, yeah. Why are you asking though?" Joy was really interested now. She knew that Jerome was very good at scheming, and if it helped her get Fabian, she'd do anything, even if it was to kill Nina and to make it look like an accident.
"Because, I know how you can have him. Without having Nina in the way."
"How?" Jerome smirked. He was very glad that Joy was really willing to do this, even if she didn't know the plan.
"Just make Nina jealous. Make it so that Fabian has very little time for Nina. The rest will come into place. If they don't have enough time for each other, they'll have to break it off. Oh, but don't worry about Nina. I've got her covered."
"Great idea, but even I could have come up with it."
"Yes, but how are you going to distract Nina?" Joy had a weird feeling that Jerome was hiding something. Like his feelings for Nina. He has feelings for Nina, I have feelings for Fabian. This could work. We'd both be happy. Joy thought, smiling at having Fabian to herself with no interference from Nina, until the day they break up of course. Joy couldn't wait to get started.
"Good point. I'm in," she said, smiling and then happily walked out of the room, already looking forward to this plan.
"Hello everyone," Trudy said, walking over the table where all the members of house were sitting, waiting for dinner.
"Hello Trudy," everyone said.
"I hope that you had a great summer. Now, go ahead and eat," Trudy said, putting the last of the food on the table.
"Hey Fabian," Joy said, taking a seat next to Fabian while Jerome took the other seat next to him. Nina sat down next to Jerome, sad that she couldn't sit next to Fabian.
"Hey Joy," he said, smiling at her. Joy loved Fabian's smile. She thought it was cute. She noticed that Nina was glaring at her and that the two boys between them were unaware of it.
"So, Fabian. How was your summer?" Joy asked, looking at him.
"Great. How was yours?" he asked.
"Pretty good. Kinda boring though. I mean, having to wait even longer to see you all again," she said, pretending that she was sad. She was, but she didn't like Nina. She feels like Nina took Fabian from her. She had known Fabian longer, and they never went out, but now was the chance to get the guy she'd been thinking about for years.
"I'm glad you decided to come back here rather than go somewhere else," he said.
"Me too. Are you and Nina dating?" Joy asked, and when she did, everyone stared at her since she had asked something with an answer that was obvious.
"Uh..." Fabian said looking at Nina, obviously wanting to know what he was supposed to say.
"Yeah. We're dating," Nina said. Jerome looked her like 'what?' and Fabian smiled at Nina.
"Oh," Joy said, sounding sad that he said that. Fabian frowned. He liked both Nina and Joy, and now he felt bad for Joy, but Nina was now his girlfriend. Fabian didn't know what to do. Maybe he could ask Jerome later for some help.
Dinner had gone pretty uneventful after that, and since it was pretty late when dinner was over, everyone went to bed.
A/N: Please review! Please let me know what liked, disliked, if any of the characters seem OCC I'm sorry and I'll try to fix it in future chapters, and if you have any ideas for future chapters, I'll listen to them. I'll probably update anywhere between a day and ten days. It might be longer if I'm really busy, or I haven't had a real chance to write.
