House of Crushes/House of Voices

I find the Headmaster's office pretty quickly, it's in the main school building. It's fairly empty so I assume everyone's getting unpacked in their houses.

"Hello" I walk in

A middle aged man with greying hair and a weird red bowtie.

"Oh hello" the man says "I'm Mr. Sweet the Headmaster. You must be Destiny"

"Yep that's me" I nod

"Alright then" Mr. Sweet says "We're putting you in Anubis house. There was just an add on to the rooms of the house so you will be able to stay there. You'll probably be most comfortable there. We already have 2 American students in that house, one of which is brand new as well"

"Alright" I reply

"Most of the students have already been unpacked, your a bit late, understandable I hear you got George as a cab driver, he's unbearably slow" Mr. Sweet laughs

I try not correct him on the fact Renee was my cab driver, that would be a horrible first impression.


I walk around a bit more completely and utterly confused, unsure what to do next.

Walking through a parking lot I see a boy hiding behind a silver van.

"What are you doing?" I ask smirking

He looks up surprised and then straightens up

"Oh err...Hello" he says smiling awkwardly "Nice to meet you"

Then he rushes off, notices a tour group and jumps over a wall. I laugh harder than I ever had before. I start walking away when I see his head pop back up, I grin and turn back and start walking towards the wall.

"Really what are you doing?" I ask with a smile

A girl turns his head a bit and his head falls again "Quiet you'll give away my position!"

He pops up again as the girl walks away.

"Are you hiding from that girl?" I ask

The boy turns red "Absolutely not!"

I notice a black boy walking up behind us. He puts his pointer finger over his mouth as to see by quiet.

"Hi dude!" the boy exclaims

The weird hiding boy jumps "Alfie don't do that!"

The black boy is wearing really weird red sunglasses, the hiding boy snickers when he sees them.

"The 80's are that way" he says pointing to the left

"These are for Amber" the black boy replies "New Term, New Girlfriend" he pulls his sunglasses off "New Alfie!"

I laugh at the silliness and the boy apparently Alfie finally notices me.

"Jerome, who is that?" Alfie asks

Hiding boy aka Jerome looks at me a bit closer and his eyes widen "Oh...err...um...who...are...you?"

Ignoring his awkwardness and long pauses I reply "Destiny, Do either of you know where Anubis house is?"

Jerome grins "Well it's your lucky day Miss Destiny! That just happens to be where we're going!"

"Oh...Thanks" I reply smiling

Jerome and Alfie bring me to Anubis House where we are quickly met by an indian looking woman.

She hugs Jerome and Alfie and tells them how much she's missed them and then turns to me.

"You must be Destiny" she says with a smile "I'm Trudy your house mother"

"Yep, that'd be me" I reply with a grin "Nice to meet you"

"Hey Trudes...Where's a food?" Alfie asks

Trudy smiles and points to the other room "The other students are in there too, now don't eat all of it, we want some food for poor Destiny too"

Alfie is gone before she can get the first word out of her mouth.

I look over at Jerome. He's like REALLY cute, he's got a smug look stuck on his face, blond hair that looked REALLY funny in the way it stuck up, sparkling blue eyes...

"Are you staring at me?" Jerome asked sounding slightly amused

"No" I felt myself blushing

Jerome smirks and then walks to where all the students are.

I was about to follow after him when I heard someone call my name.

"Destiny!"


I look at Trudy

"I think I heard someone call me...Can I go check?" I ask

"Of course" Trudy replies with a smile "Just don't go into the attic or the cellar"

"Alright I won't" I reply

I begin to follow the sound of the voice.

"Come to me Destiny...Come to me..."


Jerome's POV

That new girl Destiny was something. She seemed nice enough.

"Hey Alfie" I whisper

"What?" Alfie asks he seems a little distracted by Amber

I roll my eyes.

"I'm making that new girl my personal project" I tell him "She'll be dating me by the end of the term"

"Whatever dude" Alfie replies going back to giving Amber his complete attention

So there was my plan. I make this Destiny girl fall in love with me. Then maybe...Just for fun...I'd break her heart. I knew girls like that. She seemed nice but I could tell on the inside she was like every other girl "Bor-ing" maybe that would make her a little more interesting.

I knew I was going to do that but it broke my heart to think about it. I didn't know why but I didn't really like it.
