I do not own House of Anubis, but I do own Charlotte Nightshade.

Nina's P.O.V.

Fabian seemed upset today. I don't know what it was, but he just wasn't himself. Like when I walked into his room this morning he jumped and stuffed away the notebook he was reading from. And I don't know if it was my eyes, but I swear he wiped tears from his eyes. I asked what was wrong but he just passed it off as 'Nothing.'

When we walked to school he was tense, looking around him as if expecting a ghost to jump out from behind a tree. But yet he seemed kind of happy about this.

When we had free time in class he would pull out that notebook and start reading it. It was kind of unlike me, but when he got up to help Ms. Andrews with something, I opened it and started to read.

Fabian,

I know you miss me. And I miss you too. Check MY email after school today. You do remember the password, right? You won't like what you see, but it's true. I'm sorry.

Charlotte Nightshade

I flipped through the rest of the notebook, it was empty. Fabian had seriously been rereading that one paragraph for the whole day? This Charlotte girl must be really important to him…

"Hey, Amber?" I asked, leaning forward to where she was sitting next to Patricia.

"Yes, Nina?"

"Did Fabian ever know a girl named Charlotte?"

"I don't think so…"Amber trailed off, "Wait! Yes, there was a Charlotte! She was here a while ago! Mick hadn't joined the school yet and Joy was still here, so she had to room with Fabian! They were so sweet together… like soul mates…"

Ignoring the fact that somewhere inside that statement made me jealous, I asked, "What happened to her?"

"I don't know… one day she just…left…kind of like Joy. Except no body freaked out like Patricia."

Patricia turned around and glared at Amber, "Yes, I didn't freak out, but Fabian was upset, remember? He cried and…stuff…"

"He did?" Amber looked confused, "Oh, well I was kind of paying attention to her replacement so…"

Patricia rolled her eyes and started on her worksheet.

"What?" Amber looked around, "Well its true!"

I shook my head and started on my own worksheet while Fabian walked back in with Ms. Andrews.

On the way back to school, I was tempted to ask Fabian about the mysterious Charlotte, but he was doing the tense-looking-for-a-ghost thing again.

Instead of stopping to talk about the upcoming Sibuna meeting (A/N- This takes place before Patricia joined Sibuna) he walked to his room as if in a daze.

And I was so worried I didn't even realize the jealousy that was starting to form.
