Around the Corner and Back Again
The Anubis House residents sat in the common room, talking about their summers. Joy and Jerome were sitting on the couch next to each other, as well as Alfie and Willow. Eddie was sitting in a chair, with Patricia on his lap. Her legs were hanging off the side of the chair, and her arm was wrapped around his shoulders. Fabian was sitting on one of the chairs from the dining table, which he pulled up between the couch and chair. KT was also sitting on a dining room chair. Mara had been offered a scholarship at some prestigious school, and 'absolutely had to take it," as she said to her friends.
"And you should have see his face, guys, it wa-" Alfie was cut off by everyone turning their heads to the door, seeing someone they never thought they'd see again.
Everyone was silent as Fabian walked up to the girl and hugged her tightly. She rested her head on his shoulder and they didn't separate until they heard someone cough. They awkwardly let go, and she smiled. "I need to talk to you later," he whispered. She nodded in response, and Patricia ran up to her with a smile on her face.
"Nina! I missed you so much!" she laughed, hugging her friend. Her old friends took turns hugging her, and a curly-haired girl approached her.
"So, you're the famous Nina Martin?"
"That's me!" Nina smiled.
"I'm KT," she explained, shaking Nina's hand, "Crazy stuff... Crazy stuff."
A worried look spread over Nina's face, "I need to talk to you guys anyways. Attic at 10:30."
