Chapter 2: House of Arrival

"Patricia, Patricia! Wake up! We're here!" Joy whisper-shouted at her friend, shaking her to get her to wake up.

"What is it this time, Joy?" Patricia responded groggily, pushing herself out of her seat so she could look out the window.

"We're here, we're here!" Joy screeched, now unaware that there were still people around her sleeping. She looked out the window at the huge LAX airport. She was so excited for her first visit to America. This was huge! She couldn't wait to see where they would be staying! Her brain was going a million miles an hour. She couldn't stop thinking. She had so many plans for this trip. The majority of them included Fabian.

"I hope you all have enjoyed your flight. The local time here in Los Angeles, California is 2:13 PM. It is 91 degrees Fahrenheit. Please keep your seat-belts buckled until the sign above you is turned off. We hope you enjoyed your flight with British Airways and we will see you soon! Enjoy your time here in LA!" the perky flight attendant almost yelled through the loudspeaker. Patricia laughed loudly at the sound of the woman's voice and Eddie turned around and rolled his eyes at her. She stuck out her tongue in response. He turned around, his smirk turning into a small smile, his cheeks turning a light shade of pink. Fabian peeked at his friend out of the corner of his eye.

"So you and Patricia, man...?" he said, a little too loud, punching his friend on the shoulder. Eddie quickly glanced over his shoulder to see if Patricia had heard.

"Shut up Fabian," he said, rolling his eyes. "Patricia and I are barely even friends." Secretly, he sighed with relief. Patricia had been deep in conversation with Joy when Fabian had said that. He didn't like Patricia. Right? Yeah, she was cute. Okay she was pretty, like really pretty. But it was Patricia. They had kissed, but that was only once. And the next day, Patricia had acted like nothing happened, so Eddie just did the same. Why did he even care? He shook his head, ridding himself of the thought. The seatbelt light pinged as it turned off and the eight teens quickly unbuckled their seat belts and gathered up their things. Amber, who had been ready to get off of the plane two hours ago, pulled a compact mirror out of her purse, fluffed her hair and quickly applied a peach lip gloss. Mara giggled at her friend. Amber Millington was the only person she knew that would worry about how she looked after she got off of a plane. Mara looked down at her own clothes. She had on a lavender v-neck and black leggings with some Nike tennis shoes on. She seemed so underdressed next to Amber. Amber had on her favorite dark wash skinny jeans, lace tank top, and hot pink blazer. Her tan sandals matched her purse perfectly.

"Come on Mara! Lets get out of this plane!" Amber screeched. She grabbed her friends hand and ran down to the terminal. She felt the warm wind and afternoon sun of LA hit her face as she smiled widely, her white teeth gleamed in the sun.

"What about the others Ambs?" Mara giggled as Amber's peach colored lips made the shape of an "O". They sat at the end of the terminal, discussing their plans for the trip as they finally saw Fabian, floppy hair and all, making his way down the ramp, followed by the rest of the students. Even though all of the students were tired, they all showed an uncanny excitement about being in a new city. Amber rushed to the bathroom without a word and stayed in there for about five minutes. She pulled out her loose dark blue cropped shirt and white capris. She kept her flip flops on, put small dangly silver earrings in her ears and pumped a fresh coat of Benefit's They're Real mascara on her already long lashes. She pranced out of the bathroom, looking completely refreshed.

"Amber Millington, ladies and gentleman." Alfie stated clapping his hands as he and Jerome bowed goofily at Amber. Amber scoffed and clapped her hands together,

"So where's our luggage guys?" Fabian pointed towards the luggage carousel. "So I have to actually get it?" she gaped at the spinning machine. All the students nodded, confused as to what she thought would happen. "Usually when I fly, Daddy's assistants just pick it up for me."

Jerome rolled his eyes and grabbed her wrist, "Come on princess Millington, let's just get your luggage and leave." After they all got their luggage off of the carousel, they went to look for the car some cabs that could take them to where they were staying. Eddie pointed towards a long string if yellow cars and they all piled in.

"138 Gilmore Street, please." Fabian announced. That's odd, he thought to himself. He thought Trudy would've just given them a hotel to tell the driver to go to. The driver pulled up to the address Fabian had read off and hopped out of the car.

"28 dollars please," he announced, holding out his large hand. Fabian handed him two twenty dollar bills and just told him to keep the change. The cab driver smiled, greedily and quickly sped away. The students peered up at the house.

"Woah," Patricia said, gaping at the large beach house in front of them. Fabian looked back down at the piece of paper in his hand and checked the address.

"It's the same address..." he noted skeptically. He reached into the envelope the address had come in, feeling something cold touching his hand. He pulled the object out of the envelope and saw it was a small silver key. He walked up to the front door step and placed it into the key hole. The door clicked and he waved to his friends, letting them know that it worked. They cautiously walked up the steps to the pale blue two story beach house. From the front, the could see the pool and hot tup that we're overlooking the ocean. The house looked modern, but still somewhat traditional. The paneled roof gave it a homey feel. All the students were in awe at the first room that they walked in to. With a large flat-screen, two tan leather L-shaped couches with a wooden coffee table in the middle. The walls had various paintings of the beach view and boats. The small chandelier in the middle of the ceiling lit the room perfectly.

"This. Is. So. COOL!" Amber exclaimed, squealing as she ran up the stairs. The doors were labeled with each students name on it. Each room had two double beds and each door had two students names on it. They had the same roommates as they did back at school. Patricia and Joy, Mara and Amber, Eddie and Fabian, and Jerome and Alfie. They all rushed into their rooms and collapsed on their beds. All except for Jerome and Alfie that is. They looked at each other in unison and raced down the stairs towards the kitchen.

"FOOD!" they both screamed, opening the cabinets and searching for the best junk food. Trudy really had gone out of her way to make this a memorable vacation.

After all the students had showered and dressed in fresh clothes, Fabian decided to explore around the house a little. He walked down to the first floor, laughing to himself as he watched Jerome and Alfie stuff their faces. He peered around corners, looking at room after room. He made his way down to the extravagant basement, complete with popcorn machines and a huge flat screen TV next to shelves filled with what Trudy had known to be their favorite movies. He smiled to himself as he found all of the Harry Potter movies. These had always been his favorite. His friends had refused to watch it with him all the time. Except for Nina, that is. He quickly banished the thought from his mind and walked up two more flights of stairs to the second floor where their rooms were located. He saw another flight of stairs hidden behind some of the walls. The wooden door seemed oddly out of place in the modernized house. He grabbed the handle and saw that there was a dimly lit flight of stairs and he carefully walked up them. He found a small room filled with boxes with spiderwebs and dust. He picked up a book off of the shelf that was directly in front of him and blew the dust off of it. The title read Artemis' Secret. He flipped open the pages but then he heard Joy yell for him. He quickly shut the book and placed it back onto the shelf. He'd have to save the sleuthing for later.

"Fabes? Where did you go?" Joy called down the stairs, hoping to get some alone time with Fabian.

"Right here!" he called, running up behind Joy, a bewildered expression on his face.

"I was wondering if-" Joy started, but was suddenly interrupted by a high pitched yell,

"FAAAAABBBBIIIAAAANNN," Amber called from her and Mara's room.

"That's my cue," Fabian stated as he pointed to Amber's door. Joy slumped her shoulders and trudged back to her and Patricia's room. She gave Patricia a hopeful look and Patricia placed her hands above her head and said,

"Don't ask me!" she stated, rushing out the door. Joy flopped down and screamed into her pillow. She just needed five minutes alone with Fabian. That's all she needed to remind him of what they had, or almost had before she left during year 9.

"I need your help!" Amber shouted at Fabian, her bright pink bathrobe and towel-wrapped hair flying as she flailed her arms.

"Okay, calm down. What is it that you need from me?" he asked, carefully side-stepping Amber and sitting down on her bed.

"I don't know what to wear tonight!" she pouted.

"Where are you going tonight Ambs? I thought we were ordering pizza and watching a movie or something. We decided we were too tired to go out." Fabian said skeptically.

"Oh, right. Well I'm...you know, going... shopping! And I didn't ask any of you to come because I knew that you wouldn't want to!" she decided that that was a safe answer.

"Ummm, okay? You should wear that," Fabian stated, pointing to a blush colored dress, gold belt, and gold kitten heels.

"Fabian! That's perfect! Have you ever thought about becoming a personal shopper? I'd definitely hire you!" Amber squealed, giving Fabian a tight hug.

"Um, nah I think I'll stick to my other hobbies," he said, sheepishly as he peeled Amber off of him. He walked out of Ambers room, shutting the door behind him.

"Few," Amber whispered. That was too close. She looked around, suddenly remembering that Mara was downstairs with Jerome, Patricia, and Eddie, who were making dinner, she took her now damp hair out of the towel and ran a brush through it. She decided to let it air-dry while she checked her computer. She opened up her favorite fashion blogs, checking for new posts, checked her Facebook account, responded to some messages from her parents and one from Trudy, asking how they liked the beach house. She then opened her IM and saw a message from Nina. She squealed with excitement and opened the message.

NinaM13: Hey Ambs! Are we still on for tonight?

PrincessMillington: Definitely! Do you know where we are going yet?

NinaM13: Yup! I found this really cute restaurant today! I had to search, I've only been her for three days, but I think you'll love it!

PrincessMillington: Ahhh! I'm so excited to see you!

NinaM13: You haven't told anyone I'm here, have you?

PrincessMillington: By anyone, do you mean Fabian? If so, no.

NinaM13: AMBER!

PrincessMillington: Ninaaaaa, pleasepleaseplease let him come! He's dying to see you, I know it!

NinaM13: I doubt it. Anyways, I'll pick you up at 6, okay?

PrincessMillington: Fineeee. Hey wait! That means I only have an hour to get ready! I have to go! See you soon!

Nina Martin laughed at her friend. She decided she might as well get ready now. She sat down in front of the mirror on her desk and applied a light layer of tinted moisturizer and powder to her already clear face. She placed a light champagne eyeshadow on her eyelid and flicked some brown eyeliner onto her lids. She applied one coat of mascara and some nude lip gloss. She stared at her reflection and twisted some of her naturally curled honey blonde hair away from her face on both sides of her head. She wore her hair like this practically every day. She walked over to her closet and took out a dark blue skirt, white v-neck, and silver sandals. She grabbed her locket that Sarah had given to her during her first year in Anubis House that she secretly always wore and tucked it under her shirt, she grabbed her watch and stack of bracelets and was ready to go. She grabbed her light brown cross-body purse and ran out the door.

As Nina walked out the door, she realized that she didn't know where Amber was staying. She also didn't have a car because Gran had taken it to San Francisco for the next few weeks. Her Gran trusted Nina to be responsible on her own, which Nina loved, but right now, she could really use that car. "Shoot," she whispered to herself. She pulled her phone out of her purse, knowing Amber had international calling, and dialing Amber's number, still knowing it by heart. Suddenly, something caught her eye. She saw someone splashing in the pool in the house next door. That was weird, the people they were renting their house from said that there was no one in the house next door, it had been abandoned for as long as anyone could remember. They had said it was still kept up to date with new appliances, but only because the people that bought it when it had first been abandoned wanted to keep it up for rent so that they could earn money from it.

Nina's curiosity got the best of her, she jogged up to the front door and knocked on it. She heard someone yell something, but she couldn't make out what they said. Suddenly, someone swung open the door. Nina gaped at the person in front of her. She had looked at those bright blue eyes a million times. "Oh my gosh!" Nina said, eyes widening by the second.

"NINA!" Amber Millington screeched, immediately covering her mouth with her small hands after she yelled.
