We had finally gotten our letters that included our schedule for the new school year! I'm super happy that I got into all of the classes I wanted to take before they filled up. What can I say, the early bird does get the worm.
I had already texted Amber, Patricia, Alfie & Eddie about their schedules. For first semester, I had Periods 1, 3, 4 & 5 with Amber, 1, 2 & 5 with Patricia, 2, 3 & 6 with Alfie, & 1, 4 & 5 with Eddie. We even talked about second semester, even though we had until the end of January. I had Periods 1, 2 & 5 with Amber, 1, 4 & 5 with Patricia, 2, 3 & 4 with Alfie, & 1, 4 & 5 with Eddie, again.
I figured I would wait to find out Mara's, Joy's, Mick's & Jerome's schedule on the first day of school.
Each year, school started on a Wednesday, & the weekend & few days before school started we would move all of our stuff back into the house. The school has us take everything home with us so that they can have people come & deep clean the entire house so it's all fresh by the time we return in September.
I had about a month until school started & all I needed was to get my supplies. Amber had already forced us to go shopping at the beginning of July, so that was taken care of.
Also, mine & Grans 4 years of living in England was coming up in a few weeks. I couldn't believe that we just dropped everything in American just before 7th grade started & came here to England to attend boarding school.
Aside from that, I hadn't stopped thinking about what Eddie had told me earlier today. He had just gotten done with football practice (actual American football) when he & Patricia had asked Amber, Alfie & I if we wanted to go to lunch. We met up & were talking about the usual things we would talk about, when Eddie said something.
"So, at practice today I met a new kid who's going to our school this year." While he said this he looked at me the entire time. Obviously, I was confused, so I asked to to elaborate more.
"His name is Daniel Rutter, he told us to call him Danny, & him & his brother Fabian are in our grade." This time, Eddie winked at me.
"If you think you're going to set me up with him then-" He cut me off.
"Just think about it Neens. Ever since you & Jerome broke up you haven't even thought about dating, & that was almost 2 years ago!"
He did have a point. Just my breakup with Jerome was so traumatizing for me I'm afraid that that's gonna happen again.
"How about I meet this kid first & then see how it goes from there?" I liked my idea. Eddie rolled his eyes & pretended to be annoyed but told me he would just let everything happen naturally.
Something him & Amber had in common is that they both love to meddle in people's love life. They think of themselves as the Matchmakers of Amun Boarding School.
When I got home later & opened my letter from the school it made me really excited. I don't really know why, like who's excited for school to start? For some reason though, I couldn't stop thinking about what Eddie said to me, but I think that has a role in my excitement.
Xox, Nina
I closed my diary & tossed it to the end of my bed. It was 5:40 so I knew that Gran would be calling me down for dinner any minute. I think I'm finally ready to be going back to school.
Of course being home with Gran for the summer has been great, lately I've been missing living with my friends all school year. It's nice that Gran lives so close to the school because that means I can visit her on weekends whenever I want. The only downside about going back to Anubis House was Victor. Ew. But another plus is having Trudy be our house mother again!
I just knew that I wanted to make this last month of summer count.
Yay okay so basically this was just an introduction chapter & the ending sucked so sorry. So Nina came to school in 7th grade, Eddie came in 9th, Fabian has a twin brother & they don't come until this year (11th) Review & let me know if I should continue!
