Chapter 1

JEROME'S POV.

I didn't want to wake up, I was having the most wonderful dream.

I was talking to this beautiful girl, but now I couldn't remember anything about except that if she was real I would be smitten.

''Jerome! Wake up!''

''What do you want Alfie?''

''There's a new girl, and she is hot!''

''New girl?'' I asked suddenly very interested, ''Is she her now?''

''Yeah!''

''So she's going to be taking the bed in Patricia's room, the one Maria used to be in?''

''Yeah, come on. Let's go talk to her.'' I smiled, and we left our room.

Sure enough, there was a girl standing in the doorway.

Trudy was telling her about the place and where she was going to be staying while she was at the house of Anubis.

''Up the stairs sweetie,'' Trudy instructed.

''Thanks.'' I watched completely star struck as she made her way up the stairs carrying her luggage behind her.

When she was out of hear shot I went over to Trudy, ''Who was that?''

''Sarah? She's a new student here; she'll be taking Maria's place. She came from America like Nina.'' hmm I thought.

''Well I'm going to go welcome her to the family.''

''Good idea, Jerome I bet she'll like that.''

SARAH'S POV.

I pulled my suitcases up the stairs and through a door. I stood in a hallway not sure which way to go.

A voice came from behind me, ''If your looking for you room it's that door at the end of the hall. If you're looking for a hot date, he's right behind you.''

I turned around and came face to face with the hottest guy I'd every seen.

He had brown hair with flecks of a lighter blonde. He was tall and had blue eyes that made me want to melt.

He smiled at me as if he was looking at the most beautiful thing on the planet, and it was all his.

''I like to someone's name before I go out with them,'' It felt like there were butterflies in my stomach.

I wanted to curse myself. I don't fall over for anyone, but when I looked in his eyes I felt like I was the only person in the world who mattered.

His voice called me from my thoughts. ''I'm Jerome, and you are?''

''Sarah.'' He smiled, and found that I wanted to please him, to make him happy. ''It was nice meeting you Jerome, but I have to go put all my stuff away.''

''Want me to come help you?'' Did he think I couldn't do things on my own?

''No thanks I can handle it,'' His smile faltered for a second, but he quickly grabbed my bags anyway and headed toward my new room. ''You don't have to do this,'' I told him, but not wanting him to stop.

''I know, but I want to,'' and with that he opened the door.

He pulled the cases in. Earlier I had tried to take one of them, but he hadn't let me.

Once inside the room he set my bags down next to the empty bed. ''Do you want me to help you unpack?''

''It's okay Jerome; I think I can handle two suitcases and a backpack on my own.''

''I'll just leave you to it then,'' with that he ducked out of the room.

I wish he would've stayed, but I shook my head. ''Come on Sarah, you promised yourself you wouldn't fall for another guy, unless you really know him.''

''Who are you talking to?'' a girl asked and I whirled around.

Standing there was a girl, she had dark hair with pink extensions, and she looked like a punk-Goth fairy.

''Never mind. Who are you?''

''Sarah,'' I held out my hand.

She took it, ''Patricia,'' She told me smiling. ''Have you met everyone yet?''

''Trudy, Jerome, you, and this weird boy who just stared at me from behind the door.''

''Coco colored skin?''

''Yeah.''

''That's Alfie,'' she smiled, but stopped when she noticed I was watching her.

''So, that's you bed over there,'' she pointed to the bed, ''and you can use that dresser over there,'' she gestured to my right.

''Thanks, I'll just unpack.''

''Okay, and by the way, supper's in about,'' Patricia looked at her watch, ''5 minutes, k?''

"Okay." Patricia nodded and left the room.

I opened the first suitcase, and pulled out some shirts & a few sweatshirts. I emptied the rest of the bag, and neatly put away all of the contents.

In the second bag I found some more clothes, underneath were smaller bags.

My Ice Breaker bag, my Sparta bag, and the bag my older brother Tyson had made for me 3 years ago, I took them out and hung them from the chair that was placed in front of a small writing desk.

After I had stuffed the empty suitcases under my new bed.

I unzipped my backpack, and pulled out a picture.

It was of me and my grandparents; I set it carefully on the nightstand.

I took out some of my favorite books, and stacked them on a self.

I pulled out my notebook, and my box of important/special things. I put them carefully underneath the bed and closed my eyes.

''Supper!'' Trudy yelled up the stairs.

Time to meet everyone I thought, and then out loud,

''It's game time.''
