HOLY SHISH KEBAB!

Okay, so if you saw tonight's episode, it was cray-zee. But I know they won't get caught.

Now I'm calm. So, this is the sequel to House of Gossip. If you didn't read it, you should. You wouldn't get this at all.

And also, I might update this story every other day, so I can think more, continue havin' a life, and try to make these chapters longer and better.

Chapter One: Home Again

"Gran!" Nina squealed. She hadn't seen Gran since she left.

Gran smiled through the screen door of her house. "Nina!"

They both went to each other, and hugged. Amber scampered up to them. "Aw."

"Hey! We still have to get our luggage!" Fabian said, running up to them. Nina let go of Gran.

"Oh, yeah. Gran, this is Amber," she pointed to Amber. "And Fabian." Nina wound her arms around him. "Okay, we're just going to finish getting the luggage, and we'll find out who gets what room."

After they finished getting the luggage (Which took an hour, thanks to Amber), they were inside, trying to see who gets what room.

"Okay, so me, Amber, Mara, and Patricia in my room, Fabian, Jerome, and Mick can take the guest bedroom, and Alfie already claimed the couch." Nina said. Alfie was on the couch, sleeping. Everyone laughed.

"So, who wants cookies?" Gran asked.

Everyone raised their hands. "I'll help you." Nina said.

Fabian followed them, telling them he'll help.

Gran was studying Fabian and Nina. "I take it you two are dating?" They nodded. Gran turned to Nina. "Are you sure he's not like Jacob? Because if he is, remember what happened."

Nina shook her head. "He's not. I promise." She kissed his cheek.

While they made the cookies, Gran and Nina sang the Happy Working Song from the movie Enchanted. It was one of their favorites.

The next morning, they went to go hang out at the beach. They decided to walk, since the beach was within walking distance.

"Hey, Jerome! Catch!" Alfie said, throwing a beach ball at Jerome. It bounced off of him and landed on the street.

"Go get it, Alfie!" Jerome said. "Hurry, before that truck-"

Boom. Bye-bye ball.

A truck pushed the beach ball down the hill, and eventually popped it under its wheel.

"Way to go, Alfred."

"Let's get going before the sun melts our sandals to the sidewalk." Amber said.

The heat was sweltering. It hadn't been that hot in California for a long time.

Nina's POV

The beach was swamped. I've been to this beach millions of times before, and it's rarely ever like this.

"Nina? Is that you?" Asked a girl with ocean drenched hair. She looked very familiar, but I couldn't exactly point her out.

"Do I know you?" I asked her. Everyone else but Fabian went to the water.

"Remember? It's me, Katie." Oh. Oh!

"Katie!" I hugged her. "I haven't seen you in like, forever!"

Katie Davies was one of my friends before I had gotten expelled from my old school. Her blonde hair was tangled and smelled of ocean. It was probably from surfing all day, which was one of her favorite things. Katie's pale blue eyes interrogated me and Fabian.

She shot up an eyebrow. "Puis-je considérer que les deux de vous fréquentez. Am I right?"

She only spoke French if she didn't want anyone else to tune into our conversations, which, I believe, Fabian should not be. And I know for a fact he only speaks English.

"C'est une bonne chose que vous n'avez pas essayer de jouer les entremetteurs avec nous deux. Tous étaient des catastrophes! Et oui, heureusement datant depuis hier."

We laughed. Fabian was just staring at us, as if we were total psychos. "Hey, I wasn't that bad. You just refused to have any fun." Katie said.

"You know what, fine." I pointed to Fabian. "This is Fabian. Fabian, this is Katie."

"Hey. I gotta go change, so, maybe we could all hang together." She said.

"Of course." Katie headed toward the bathrooms to get out of her wetsuit.

Fabian and I headed to the water, where everyone else was drenched.

"Race you." Fabian said, letting go of my hand and made a beeline for the water.

"Hey!" I exclaimed, running after him. When I had caught up to him, I slipped on the seaweed. I brung him down with him.

Click.

"Aww! Aren't they so cute together?" Amber said, snapping photos.

"I'm very glad you're enjoying my pain." I said sarcastically. "Now can you help us up? My butt's burning from the sand."

So was this good? Bad? Tell me! [hint-review.]

IT'S THE LAsT WEEK OF HoA! Tear. :'[ I love this show.

Q.O.T.D.:

Do you guys do anything to avoid work? [e.g. Textin' your BFFLs, listenin' to music while doin' it... etc.]

I do. It's a born habit.

In fact, I'm doin' it right now, postin' this.

XOXO,
