Okie dokes, so this is the first chapter of my story Glass Hearts, and it's obviously a House Of Anubis fanfic. It's going to be rather AU and only loosely based off the episodes, since there shall be an invented character (an OC) and…yeah, basically. Sorry if it doesn't go the way you want it to but oh well. It starts in season one. Oh and none of it is in first person. When it says –'s POV it just means that we'll be following them around etc, and it'll still be written in third person. You'll understand further on in the story XD Enjoy!

Ariana's POV

This was it. Her first day at a boarding school. Boy this was going to be extremely exciting. Ariana had never been to a boarding school before and so, in the car on the way there, she wasn't sure how to feel or what to think. There were butterflies in her stomach and she was excited and nervous and jittery all at the same time. When they turned into the boarding school grounds, Ariana felt her heart plummet.

Her eyes went slightly wide as she stepped out of her mum's car. She licked her lips nervously, brushing a golden-brown lock of hair behind her ear. Her green eyes were glittering in anticipation, but it was obvious she was nervous too.

"You'll be fine, Ariana." Her mother was saying, but Ariana couldn't quite hear her.

They walked towards the front and started looking for Anubis house, which was where Ariana would be staying.

She collided with someone and went stumbling back. The person caught her quickly and steadied her.

"Sorry." She mumbled, blushing beetroot. She blushed even more when she saw who she'd bumped into.

It was a boy, and an attractive one at that. He had a beautiful grin on his features and his eyes were twinkling in slight amusement. His hair was brown and his eyes were brown too, just slightly darker.

"It's fine." He said calmly. "That accent…you're from Essex, right?"

Ariana was rather surprised that he knew that, and she nodded. "That's right, yeah. I'm Ariana." She told him.

"Fabian." He replied, smiling at her and finally letting go of her. "It's nice to meet you, Ariana."

"Fabian!"

"Ariana!"

Ariana glanced towards her mother, who was the one calling her name.

A girl with light brown hair came rushing up to them and Ariana presumed she was the one who had called for Fabian.

"Oh, Nina, this is Ariana. Ariana, meet Nina." Fabian introduced.

"Hi." Nina said, grinning. She was American, Ariana noted. "Are you new here?"

"Yeah." Ariana replied. "First day."

"I've only been here since yesterday." Nina explained, laughing.

"ARIANA!" her mother yelled, causing Ariana to wince.

"I better go…Captain Sergeant Mother calls." Ariana said. "I'll see you guys around." She smiled at them.

"Bye, Ariana!" Nina said cheerfully.

"See you around." Fabian said, nodding.

Ariana grinned and rushed off towards her mother, grabbing a few bags from her as she did.

"You can make friends later." Ariana's mother said grumpily.

"Sorry." Ariana said, shrugging. She put her backpack over her back and pulled her suitcase along as they continued looking for Anubis house. She couldn't help but shoot one glance back at Fabian and Nina, who had continued walking. She smiled.

I hope I see them again, she thought to herself.

Fabian's POV

It had taken all of his power not to blush when he'd been talking to that girl, Ariana, and thankfully he had managed not to. As he and Nina continued walking after she left, he found himself wondering if (more like hoping that) she'd be in Anubis house.

"…So she seemed pretty nice, all in all." Nina said, obviously finishing off an explanation about Ariana.

Fabian nodded and pretended that he'd been listening. He felt slightly guilty that he hadn't been, but still, he didn't want to hurt Nina's feelings.

"Yeah, she did seem really nice." He agreed.

"But we can't judge people on just three minutes of talking to them." Nina said.

"That's what I did with you, though, and you proved me right." Fabian pointed out.

Nina chuckled. "Come on, we'll be late for class." She said, dragging him away.

After school…

Fabian was headed back to Anubis house with Nina, Amber, Mick, Jerome, Alfie and Mara. Patricia was off, still trying to figure out the whole joy thing.

As soon as they entered the house, Fabian heard Trudy in the kitchen, talking to someone. He looked at the others, who shrugged, and he led the way towards the kitchen.

Ariana's POV

She wasn't sure how many hours had gone by since she'd arrived at the boarding school, but in any case, making cakes with Trudy while the others were at school was pretty fun.

"You'll love it here, sweetie." Trudy was saying. When Ariana had heard Trudy was the house mother, initially she had thought about her own mother, strict and determined and not seeming to care about anything but Ariana's success.

However, Trudy was warm and kind and caring and Ariana adored her already.

"I'm sure I will…who was it I'm sharing with again?" Ariana checked.

"You're in a room with Mara and Amber." Trudy said.

"Are they nice?" Ariana asked, absently running her finger over the cake mix bowl and starting to eat the excess mix that they didn't need.

Trudy laughed and stole a bit of the leftover mix for herself, but left the rest for Ariana. "Oh yes. Everyone here is very lovely." She replied.

All of a sudden the front door shut and Ariana jumped slightly, taken off guard.

"That'll be the others back." Trudy said, smiling at Ariana. "Don't worry, they won't bite." She promised.

Ariana laughed and ran her finger around the mix bowl again, licking the cake mix off her finger afterwards.

She looked up when she heard music fill the room and she dropped the mixing bowl, not expecting to see people there. Someone laughed and she went bright red, bending down to pick up the pieces of shattered glass.

"Ow!" she said, wincing as glass got stuck in her hand.

"Are you alright, dear?!" Trudy said, helping Ariana to her feet. "Ooh, that looks nasty. Come and sit down, don't worry about the bowl pieces..."

She sat Ariana down at the table and told her not to touch the glass in her hand.

"You okay, Ariana?"

Ariana looked up in surprise and her eyes instantly met with Fabian's concerned ones. She went practically crimson, but a grin twitched up onto her lips.

"Hey again. Not the best first impression, huh?" Ariana said sheepishly.

"Not exactly." A tanned girl said. "But most of us aren't judging you. I'm Mara…you'll be sharing with me and Amber." She pointed at a girl with blonde hair.

"Nice to meet you, Mara. And you, Amber." Ariana said. Before everyone else could introduce themselves, though, Trudy appeared with tweezers.

"Right, sweetie, this might hurt." Trudy warned.

Ariana winced. "Oh no…"

"You can hold my hand, if you like." Fabian offered.

Ariana went slightly pink, but took hold of his hand with her free one. "I might dig in a little bit with my nails…thankfully they're not that long though."

"I don't mind." Fabian said.

"Ooooh, Fabian's got a girlfriend already!" a girl with streaks in her hair cooed, smirking.

By this point, both Fabian and Ariana were crimson and staring at the floor, but they didn't let go of each other.

"Shut up, Patricia." Fabian mumbled.

"Right, Ariana, are you ready?" Trudy asked.

Ariana nodded, and her face paled as Trudy used the tweezers to hold the huge bit of glass in her hand.

"One…" Trudy said.

"Two…" Fabian gave Ariana a sympathetic hand squeeze.

"Three!" Trudy pulled, and the cry of pain that left Ariana's lips was quieter than it should have been…and her hand was gripping Fabian's tightly, obviously in a lot more pain than she was letting on.

"Right, now we just need to bandage that…" Trudy went to get a bandage and Ariana looked at her hand, surprised at how much blood there was.

"Thanks." Ariana said to Fabian, smiling slightly and squeezing his hand before letting go.

"Any time." He responded, his eyes twinkling and his cheeks still slightly flushed.
