Disclaimer: I don't own House of Anubis, just my characters & plot.

Today was my first day of Junior Year. It's hard to believe that after this I'll only have one more first day of high school.

I looked at myself one last time in the mirror before I went downstairs. Gran had made me French toast for breakfast, which I was thrilled about since she only ever makes it on my birthday & Christmas morning. I had already eaten & brushed my teeth so I went to my room to grab my bag & to make sure everything looked as perfect as possible.

I was wearing the uniform I've been wearing since I was 12 (a few new ones each year of course); a grey skirt, a white blouse & a red & yellow tie with black shoes. After 5 years, the uniform gets really annoying, & I start to feel like I belong in Gryffindor instead of Anubis House. I had all of my hair down & it was slightly wavy from my curling iron. I grabbed my bag, phone & red jacket that matched my uniform & went downstairs to see if Gran was ready to leave.

When I got into the living room I could see that Gran was already in her car waiting for me. I locked the front door & made my way out.

Every year Gran drops me off at the school since I wouldn't get much use out of my car if I took it. Whenever I want to come home to see her, I'll usually just take the bus.

"So, are you excited?" Gran asked, taking her eyes of the road for 2 seconds.

"Yeah, I've missed my friends. Apparently there's this new kid that Eddie wants me to get with." I fumbled with my bag.

"Oh? And what's this fellows name?"

"Danny. Him & his twin brother just moved here."

"Well that sounds fun, have fun with that," She said as she smirked at her remark. She thinks she's the funniest person on the planet.

A few minutes later we pulled into Amun Boarding School. Not far ahead of me I could see Patricia, Mara & Joy walking in.

"Have a great first day back, sweetie!" She hollered after I got out of her car & gave her one last hug goodbye.

I quickly walked up the steps & opened the doors to the gigantic school, schedule in my hand.

Period 1 - Advanced Choir. Mr. Butera Room 107. My schedule read. Perfect.

School didn't start until 8:00, it was 7:45 & since I've done choir every year since 7th grade I could get to the room with my eyes closed practically, I had some time to kill.

I decided to go to my locker to decorate it really quick. I had locker #777 & since we got new lockers each year, it took me a minute or so to find it.

Once I did, I quickly noticed that on the locker next to mine, pink, sparkly letters read "Amber Millington" and soon enough, I saw Amber running my way.

"Nina!" Amber screamed as she suffocated me in a hug.

"Hi Amber! I know it's only been like 2 weeks but I missed you!"

Amber & I talked until the warning bell rang, meaning that we had 5 minutes before class started.

Amber & I walked into the choir room, where we saw Patricia & Eddie already sitting down & saving us seats.

Eddie & Patricia were the first people I noticed, but then I noticed someone new sitting to the left of Eddie. His new friend Danny, I'm assuming.

I try to not be too quick to judge, but this kid was hot but he didn't really look like football material.

I was lost in thought until Amber dragged me over to Eddie & Patricia who were waving us over.

"Nina, Amber, this is Fabian Rutter, him & his twin brother Danny are new this year," Eddie introduced us as he smirked.

I was about to say hi when Amber immediately started talking.

"I'm Amber Millington, nice to meet you! I'm president of the drama club, a professional matchmaker & Nina's best friend!" She put her arms around my shoulders as she said that last part. One thing I knew for sure was that Amber knew how to make an introduction.

Before I could properly introduce myself the final bell rang & Mr. Butera's booming voice filled the classroom. I quickly took the open seat next to Fabian, & Amber took the one next to me.

"Welcome back, everyone! It's a pleasure to see everyone again, even some new faces! Nina, Amber, Patricia, so nice to see you guys in my classroom again!" We were sort of Mr. Butera's favorites because we were the only three who had done choir every year since 7th grade. It was horrifying because we had to audition, & I had just gotten off a flight all the way from America, so I was already nervous enough.

Mr. Butera is hands down my favorite teacher. He's so chill. When you have a teacher every year since you were 12, & their as cool as Mr. Butera is, you start to grow a bond. Plus he usually lets us get away with things other students can't. Besides Trudy, he's the only adult we can confide in if we have problems.

"Now, Nina, would you like to explain what it is we do every year when we have new students in my class?"

"Gladly. Every year we sit in a circle & say our full name, our birthday, age & grade, & anything we'd like the class to know about us. And it can be completely random."

"Excellent! Now, everyone, circle up!" We all grabbed our chairs from the risers where they were & made a big circle on the floor. The circle we made went like this: Patricia, Eddie, Fabian, myself, Amber, & then the rest of class who's names I didn't completely know.

"Let's see, Patricia, how about you start us off." Mr. Butera suggested. He took his seat across from us.

"Alright, my name's Patricia Jade Williamson, my birthday is October 31st 1995, I'm 16, a junior & one thing about me is that I'm a black belt in karate."

"Hey, I'm Eddie Marmaduke Miller, my birthday is September 30th 1995, I'm 17, junior, & I really enjoy football. American football, that is."

"Hi, my name's Fabian James Rutter, my birthday is June 20th 1995, I'm 17 & a junior & something about me is that I play guitar."

"I'm Nina Elaine Martin, my birthday is July 7th 1995, I'm 17, a junior & this will be my 5th year in Mr. Butera's class."

"Okay, I'm Amber Marie Millington, but I'm sure you already knew that. My birthday is June 1st 1995, I'm 17, a junior & I really really love shopping & Victoria Beckham!"

So that's how the first half of class went.

"Great! Now that we all know each other a little better, what we're going to do is figure out our parts! For those of you who are confused, where going to find your voice range & I'll assign you which part you'll be singing. For example, Nina, Amber & Patricia, please come stand next to the piano." Mr. Butera got out of his seat & went over to the piano & Amber, Patricia & I did as we were told. I couldn't help but notice Fabian was smiling at me the entire time.

"Now, I'm going to have you three sing a scale in unison." He gave us our starting note & sang a scale as we had hundreds of times.

"So as you can see, their voices aren't super high, but they also aren't super low. They fit right in the middle, so they make up the mezzo (A/n: pronounced met-zo) section. There's soprano, mezzo, alto, baritone & tenor. At least, those are the groups we focus on in my class. Let's see, Eddie, would you please come down & join the ladies?" Eddie got up & stood next to Patricia.

"I'm going to have Eddie here sing the exact same scale the girls did."

"With Eddie, you can see that his voice can go much lower than girls' can. Since Eddie's voice is very low, he's a baritone. Patricia, I want you to sing the scale on your own now." Patricia did as instructed.

"With Patricia's voice, you can here that she was able to sing the lower notes easier than the high notes, so she is considered a mezzo alto. Amber, would you please sing the scale now." Amber did, & you could see the awe in some people's faces while she did. Amber had an amazing voice. Those singing lessons her dad put her in when she was younger really paid off.

"So with Amber, she was more comfortable in the higher range, so Amber is considered a mezzo soprano. Now last but not least Nina, would you please sing the scale." After being in Mr. Butera's class for 5 years, I was slowly but surely getting more comfortable with singing by myself.

"With Nina, she has a really good range, so she's comfortable with both high & low notes, so she's considered just a mezzo. Now everyone else, please line up by the piano & you will sing a scale for me & I will assign you your part. And could you all give a hand to our volunteers for this exercise." The four of us made our way back to our seats while everyone clapped for us. I couldn't help but blush.

Fabian was one of the first ones to sing in front of Mr. Butera & he was actually really good. Mr. Butera assigned him to the tenor section, meaning he was in between alto & baritone. (A/n: props to me for remembering all the musical terms my choir teacher taught us at the beginning of last year). Once he was finished he came & took his seat in between Eddie & I.

"I never got to actually introduce myself. I'm Nina," I said with a smile to Fabian as we shook hands.

"Nice to meet you, Nina, I'm Fabian,"

From that moment I could tell this was gonna be a fun year.

So here's the first official chapter. Review & let me know what you think & if I should continue with it! :-)
