I walked into Anubis house for the millionth time, but for some reason it felt different. It wasn't the fact that Trudy was cooking the best cake in the world. Or that Alfie and Jerome we're in the living room probably already making this year's list of pranks. I walked up stairs not totally sure what was going to happen. As I walked towards my room I heard yelling,

"Well I can't be a mind reader Fabian," I immediately knew it was Amber yelling at Fabian, but why?

"I just can't wait another minute to see Nina," said Fabian.

I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest.

Yeah, you see Fabian and I are dating, and yeah that's pretty much the story! I walked in the room probably with the biggest grin on my face ever; well as good of grin you could have after traveling across an ocean. You know those cheesy moments in a movie with the flowers and slow motion running to the person you are desperately in love with! Yeah that happened, but not with Fabian. Amber ran towards me and basically knocked me over. I laughed and hugged her as she screamed,

"NINA!" in my ear.

Fabian's laugh made me turn. He looked different since I'd last saw him if that was possible in the 3 months we were away from each other. His hair was longer, he was taller. I stepped towards him and he finished the other 5 feet in between us clutching me in that sweet Fabian hug.

Trudy yelled up for lunch, so finally I had to release Fabian. We walked down the stairs like an old couple holding hands and laughing at each other. It was amazing to see everybody, I personally could have done without Joy but I'd hope everything would soon be back to normal. Patricia and Eddie were being themselves. Yelling at each other but yet we all knew they we're totally in love. And we found out this year we would be taking in 2 new Anubis house members, Patricia's twin, Piper and a girl named Shelby.

Shelby wouldn't be coming until 2nd semester, but I secretly wondered… there are only 6 beds for girls in Anubis house, so who's leaving? This question ate away at me all lunch. Amber finally broke my concentration,

"Nina, you have got to come see these shoes I bought this summer!"

"Oh alright Amber!" I answered back, but in the dark small corner of my mind, this question was still bugging me.

Later that afternoon I decided that there was only 1 person who could help me answer this question. Fabian. I walked to his room needing some answers! All my best friends we're in this house, other than Joy, and I didn't want to lose any of them. I was knocking on the door when Eddie came out,

" Hey, Nina is Patricia in her room?"

"Yeah I think so, is Fabian in there?" I asked.

"Yeah, he is," he answered with a big grin on his face.

I just shook my head as I walked in. Fabian looked up from his Science book and smiled.

"Science already?" I teased.

"Never too early," Fabian answered back

I wanted to tell him, but did I sound crazy. Yeah a freaky ghost is haunting me and if I don't get her that mask she'll basically kill me and everybody I care about. Yeah we're over the craziness.

"So, if Shelby is coming 2nd semester, who's leaving? I mean there's only 6 beds which are all taken currently so I'm a bit confused!" I blurted out.

Fabian looked at me wondering if I was joking. When he realized I wasn't he laughed.

"Nina, is that why you came here? To ask your wonderful boyfriend which one of the girls would be leaving 2nd semester?"

He laughed and leaned in to kiss me. His warm breath on my face, I leaned in, kissed him back, never wanting to stop. After I thought about it, I was quite dizzy, but that's probably because I hadn't taken a breath. We split, and smiled. He laughed,

"Miss me much?"

"Like you wouldn't believe," I answered back.

Eddie came in looking like he'd just not breathed for 2 minutes, which if he was with Patricia that wouldn't surprise me.

"Oh sorry guys, but dinners ready!" he said as he rushed out of the room.

From the time I'd been with Fabian, Mara had arrived. It was great, Anubis house was all together. And we were all starting again. And I finally realized why it had felt so weird walking back into Anubis, it was because no matter how much I tried to look past it I truly had missed these 8 people.
