Hi, this is my first time writing for House of Anubis, so…yeah. I hope this is good enough, and even though no one else has been putting disclaimers, I just want to get it across your mind that:

I do not own HoA.

"Oh, hello Nina," Patricia sneered as Nina came into the room and sat at the table.

"Hello Patricia," Nina said politely, nodding her head to acknowledge her presence.

"Hm," Patricia snorted, putting her head down to take a bite of her food.

Nina gave a wary smile and picked up her fork to start eating the pancakes laid out in front of her.

After a few bites she heard footsteps and heard Jerome say, "Hello Fabian. I expect you're still going to take your spot by Nina?" Jerome smirked.

"What are you talking about? This is where I always sit." Fabian replied, irritated.

Jerome rolled his eyes and continued to dig into his food.

When everyone was done, and was ready to walk to school, Nina ran up to Fabian.

"Fabian, can I talk to you?" Nina smiled.

"Sure." Fabian smiled back.

"Well, I was thinking…what do you think we should do next? I mean, should we try the stair step, should we go back to your uncle-"

"Ugh, no," Fabian said, covering his face with his hand.

"Why? Embarrassed?" Nina laughed, but while she was laughing she nearly tripped. Fabian rescued her by throwing his arms around her to catch her, so the position ended up Nina's face was in Fabian's chest, and Fabian was holding Nina.

"Well, well, well…look what we have here…" Jerome said, coming up from behind them. "Now what do you think you're doing? Trying to make a move, I expect?" Jerome smirked. He seemed to be doing that a lot.

"What? Umm, no…" Fabian and Nina exclaimed, jumping back from each other. "What would make you think that?"

"Oh, silly me, I must have been mistaken," Jerome said, pacing around them. "I thought you were pulling moves on each other. Ah, silly me. That really was silly, was it not?" Jerome said, raising his voice so to call over Amber, Patricia, Alfie, Mick, and Mara.

"What are you talking about, Jerome?" Patricia said, walking over.

"Oh, did you not see?" Jerome said, stringing it out.

"See what?" Patricia gave a half smile.

"These two." Jerome replied.

"Oh, and what about these two." Patricia glared at them from the corner of her eye.

"Why, didn't you see what they were doing?" Jerome put on a surprised look as if he wondered why they didn't know.

"What? Snogging I expect." Alfie said, coming closer to hear what Jerome was saying better.

"Maybe." Jerome sighed.

"What? Holding hands?" Patricia snorted.

"Possibly." Jerome smiled.

"Were the putting their arms around each other?" Amber said, inching closer.

"Were they smiling nonstop?" Mick came closer.

"Were they cuddling into each other?" Mara said, widening her eyes.

"Why. Don't. You. Ask. Them?" Jerome smirked again, walking away leaving the remaining people to crowd around the said 'couple'.

"Well?" Amber said, now walking towards Nina and Fabian.

"Yeah Nina, well?" Patricia sneered, she too walking toward them.

"I-" Nina was cut off by Fabian.

"Now, listen, do you really believe what Jerome says? You know what he's like." Fabian put in, crossing his arms pointedly.

"Well,…" Alfie began, "Why not?"

"Why would?" Fabian shot back.

"…" Alfie turned away and walked after Jerome.

"Well, if his best friend can't believe him, then why should we?" Mara shrugged, walking away followed by Amber and Mick, and a hesitant Patricia.

"Whew," Nina laughed after they were gone, "That was a close call. Thanks, Fabian." Nina said, giving Fabian a hug, and then pulling his arm after her to catch up with the others.

So, how was that? Well, the only way you can get that across is if you review! Come on, you know you wanna! That little button needs it! Oh, and flames will be used to burn up Victor and that bird.
