Chapter 1 Uneasy Thoughts

Fabian's P.O.V.

August 23, 10:00 AM

"Fabian your hands are getting clammy again."

I sighed heavily before turning towards Mick. I stopped clenching and unclenching my fist, both of them sweaty from nervousness. "Sorry, I'm just nervous." I said aloud. Mick gave a sympathetic nod, he was the only guy that I could really talk about my feelings around.

We were standing outside by the drop-off circle, the sun shining overhead and a cool breeze going by, marking the beginning of fall. The drop-off circle was an area not used much during the actual school year, but today was different. Today was the first day of school, which meant crowded hallways, confused first years, overjoyed students, and the return of the foreign exchange students.

The return of Nina to "Hogwarts" as she dubbed it.

And I was more nervous now than any other time in my life.

I wasn't nervous because I hadn't talked to her in three months; I had done that a lot. Nina and I had been texting and calling each other almost every day catching up on what was happening over the summer and telling each other how much we missed each other. I spent so much time on my phone that one day my younger sister stole my phone and read all my text. At dinner, she decided it would be a great idea to ask my parents what a couple of terms meant and naturally she had the phone on hand to show my parents. The rest of the evening was rather awkward with my mom flustered that I had a girlfriend and my father muttering words of praise. I thought I was finished with that episode, until my father came back a few days later and decide to "talk" with me about some stuff.

Worst hour of my life. And after that I avoided my sister for the rest of the summer and added so many locks to my phone that it took me a minute just to get to my texts.

No, I was nervous because with all the time we spent communicating with each other one subject never really came up. Joy. She destroyed our lives at the end of last year, first with Nina planning to get rid of her by convincing everybody Nina was some sort of "loose" girl, after Nina wore some revealing clothing to impress me. Of course, Patricia convinced her to do this, but that didn't matter to everybody else. Joy's plan worked, and it completely destroying herself mentally. As for me, she manipulated me beyond belief, turning me against Nina and getting me to date her. Luckily I was able to realize this, dump Joy, and tell my true feelings to Nina before she left. After that, we sort of become an item even though we were an ocean apart.

Now she was coming back and I wanted to confront the issue. Sometime I thought she was avoiding it on purpose, I couldn't blame her. But we had to do it sometime so I resolved to do it today. Maybe not the second she gets out of the car, but definitely not a week later.

"Do you know what you're going to say to her?" Mick asked. I shook my head; I wasn't very good at the whole plan ahead thing when it came to relationships. Everything else in my life my planned ahead for mostly, except for this.

"Well it's cool mate." Mick said patting me on the back, "I know I've been in a lot of these situations with Ams," I gave Mick a look.

"I must have been on another planet when those occurred."

"Well, not quite like this!" Mick said chuckling, "This is some pretty serious stuff that you on your plate!" He most of saw my face because he quickly corrected himself, "what I mean mate is that everybody has relationship issues, and they get through it. You and Nina have something good going for you guys, despite that one issue you told me about."

"Oh, yeah…" I said, my voice trailing off. I sighed, 'Another problem to deal with.' I thought to myself.

While I was still with Joy last year, Nina couldn't take the pressures anymore. She decided to cancel her scholarship before she left. When I went to confront her with my feelings, I promised her I would find a way to bring her back next year. I was able to do it, but only by making a deal with the teachers. Nina could come back, however she wouldn't be in Anubis House. She would be in a new house, Odin House, which was the original house that she was suppose to be in if Joy hadn't disappeared. I made the deal because I was desperate to have Nina back.

The problem: Everybody didn't know that I made the deal. And they wouldn't. Until today when the teachers announced the houses everybody would be residing in for the rest of the year. Mick was the only one that I told, and it was going to kill me when it's announced Joy will still be in Anubis House and Nina another house.

"Is she here yet?" I heard a recognizable voice shout out behind me. I turned around the find Amber running as fast as she could in heels, both shoes clattering on the hard ground. She jumped into Mick's embrace and then looked around. "I guess not."

I faced the circle again, looking out towards the street hoping to see cabs coming. Nothing.

"Fabian," Amber said, "Just relax! I doubt Nina got uglier while you two were apart." Amber clearing had no idea how to read people.

"Come on Ams, why don't you text her, let Fabian be." Mick said.

"That's a great idea! You're smart! And cute!" Amber squealed. She kissed him the nose and moved off, pulling out her phone ready to text Nina. Suddenly I heard some honking and several cabs began pulling up into the circle. I saw Mr. Sweet come out from the school, sporting his favorite bowtie and his glasses.

"Mr. Rutter." Mr. Sweet said nodding, pulling out a clipboard. I nodded politely, but deep down I felt nothing but resentment towards that man. The man who forced me to make the deal separating me and Nina.

The cabs pulled up in a single file line around the circle, doors opening as students got out and the drivers moved around to the trunk to get the luggage out. I noticed in one cab a girl and guy got out together, each looking at each other awkwardly.

"Well that was a great way to start the year." The guy said, moving towards the trunk to get his luggage. He had an American accent, had a fair tan, and had shorter hair. He had kind of the same build as Jerome, though he was a little shorter and little more muscular around the legs and arms. Plus his face seemed nicer, not devious like Jerome's.

"Dio! Sei così fastidioso idiota!" the girl said. At first I thought she was speaking Spanish, but I soon realized it was Italian. She was very beautiful too. She had wavy hair that curled at near her neck, falling down onto her shoulders. Her skin was tan also and her hair black. I couldn't help but notice that she had a small silver cross necklace on, although her clothing suggested she wasn't the most religious person in the world.

"English is the dominant language here Victoria." The guy said again. The girl, Victoria I guess, turned towards the guy, grabbing her luggage, shouting over her shoulder in a heavily accented tone.

"I pray you and I are not in the same House again, idiota!" Victoria said, storming off into the school, she bumped into me, called me an idiota too and continued storming off.

"Ah," The guy shouted sarcastically, "Can't wait for another year with you!"

I smiled, the guy had that effect I guess. I remember seeing both of them around campus, though I didn't know what houses they were in. I looked around the circle, only to see a blur. Suddenly someone was on me, spinning me around.

"Fabian! Fabian! Fabian!" I heard Nina shout, her voice loud and excited. Her eyes met mine for a moment and then closed them as we kissed. I guess we were doing it for awhile because I heard Mick give several small coughs. Nina and I let go of each other while I straightened by shirt out and she brushed some hair out of her eyes. Amber smiled, attempting to contain her joy. She rushed forward with arms stretched out, as she brought Nina into her own embrace. She began jumping up and down, moving Nina's body with hers.

"I am so happy to see you BBF!" Amber screamed.

Nina gave her sweet laugh, "It's great to see you to! Looking as good as ever!"

"Huh, I better! I spent hours getting my hair to flow like this! I think it was that new conditioner I've been using... you're so lucky that yours is so natural!" Amber said, putting her hand through her hair. Nina blushed.

"Well, I spend a good amount on it just like anybody else. Nothing special here Ams." Nina said. I stepped in to compliment my girlfriend.

"Well, no matter what, I think you look amazing. Like you always do." I kissed her on the cheek, hoping that I didn't say something stupid. I guess not as she laughed, hugging me once again.

"Have you seen anybody else?" Nina asked.

"Well I've only seen Jerome and Mara, those two are so cute together! Aren't They Boo?" Amber asked, Mick looked down at his shoes and was about to answer her when Amber did it for him, "Of course they do! Anyway, we should get you signed in Mick. You've been out her all morning with Fabian and I need some us time!" She dragged him away, with him smiling.

"You waited out here all day for me?" Nina questioned. I could tell that she was happy so I gave a silly nod and she kissed me on the lips again. This one was no worse than the last. Are lips finally parted and we just stared at each other for a while. I saw the doorway get kind of crowded and I began to think about Nina signing in.

"Come on let's get you signed in." I said, grabbing some of her luggage and walking with her up the steps to the school.

"Nina! So good to see you again!" Mr. Sweet said smiling, "I hope that you will have another excellent year here!"

"Thanks Mr. Sweet, I look forward to seeing you around." Nina said politely. I smiled, that's my Nina, can be friends with anyone. Mr. Sweet smiled back and when Nina turned away, he gave me an innocent enough look, but I knew exactly what he was thinking.

We walked into the crowded hallways as students mulled around going to find they're sign up tables to confirm that they did indeed arrive at the school. We got to the table listed under M, and Nina signed in, signing her name but stopping to stare at the sheet. Her eyes looked a little concerned.

"What's wrong Nina?"

"Joy's already here." Nina said turning to me, her face looking calm enough, but underneath I could tell that she was concerned. I pulled her into a hug. "Have you seen her yet?" She asked.

"No, not yet." I said, "But what does it matter? Joy is a witch ya, but she is pretty much harmless now. I gave her up for you, the smartest decision in my life! I doubt she'll even want to show her face, she's probably too embarrassed."

"Ya, so embarrassed she might just make our lives miserable." Nina said. "At least we'll have each other in the House." Nina said. I gave a fake smile and kissed her again. God I missed kissing those lips.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a group of girls pointing towards Nina. Some of them gasped and had shocked looks on their face. Nina looked up and saw them, clearly remembering the vicious rumors Joy had spread last year.

"Don't look at them Nina," I said comforting her, "That's not the entire school, only those shallow enough to believe Joy's lies because they don't know the real her."

"They will believe anything Joy says, their new here." Nina responded. "And pretty soon, they won't even know what the real Joy is like." Not sure how to comfort her after that, I decided to move forward.

"The assembly is starting soon; let's drop your luggage and head to it, shall we?" I said, Nina smiled at my weird tone of voice and, holding my hand, led us towards the luggage drop area. After we did that we met up with Mick and Amber outside the auditorium. We then walked into the auditorium, bracing myself in advance for the announcement that would destroy Nina even more.

Alright, first chapter! Not a lot of drama, but trust me we're getting there. I just had to write some background info and mainly get the wheels turning in this chapter. Remember Victoria and the Guy! They are important! They will be back! I'm really excited to show off my new characters, I put a lot of time into them and I wanted to make them as real as possible. And I promise you that they are not just replica's of the Anubis House gang. They are different, some in a good way and some in a bad way. And who knows what can happen? I have a general plan of the story line, a check point A to check point B kind of thing. But how they get there, well that's something I can whatever with.

Also I'm adding on a few new teachers and random people from town as well to the story. Once again, this is a sandbox story and I'm really excited about it.

Hope the story looks promising!
