„ Joy! Joy! „ Nina yelled, turning at the school corridor. She saw Joy running towards school, she didn't know why but she guessed that that was Joy's place. Place where she will go when she is feeling down...

She didn't know why was she doing this either. Was she doing this to make Joy feel better, or make herself feel better or something else?

Nina would never find Joy if little muffled sniffles didn't gave her away. Nina went behind the stage ( you know that stage where they preform their performances.)

And, Joy was there. Knees hugged closely to her chest, eyes shut down in pain, brown hair hanging losely on her shoulders... She was practically sobbing.

„ Joy... „ Nina sat down next to the short girl. She hugged her.

„ I know how you feel.. „ Nina whispered.

„ You can't possibly know how I feel, what am I being through... „ Joy gave her a breathy laugh. Nina couldn't know... Was Nina left alone by her friends? No. Was Nina completely turned down by the only boy that she liked? No. She didn't know what Joy felt, she will never know.

„ I know what you must be thinking, how can she know what I feel? „ Nina answered like she was reading Joy's mind, then she continued:

„ But I do... You know, when I was young, a little girl... I had a lot of friends and my life was... like heaven, pure perfection. Or at least that's what I thought... One day I went with my Gran to New York, it was just a little trip, few weeks probably. And I had fun, in New York, but back at Florida... „ Nina sighed

„ While I was at New York, one girl came. I wanted to be friends but I just couldn't help but be jealous... My friends started to play with her, leaving me alone... The boy that I liked started to show how he felt around that girl... Phoebe, I think that was her name. „ Joy looked up. So, she wasn't the only one that was left out? Well that was nice to hear.

„ Anyways, rest is the history. Let's just say that I did some pretty bad stuff back then. And yeah, I'm aware what jealousy can do." Nina sighed „ And it hurts hearing you calling me names when I didn't do anything... But I understand what jealousy can do to you „ Nina smiled. Joy smiled too, for the first time that day.

So, Nina knew how Joy felt. No one understood her... Everyone will think that she is jealous or that she is doing this just to win Fabian. Joy liked Fabian, she really did but not everything is about Fabian. Sure, he is cute, with his brown hair and beautiful green eyes. Joy stop it! She scolded herself. She is here to clear things out and that is what she is going to do

„ Look, Nina, I'm sorry, okay? Sorry for writing that article, sorry for calling you names and just sorry for being such a bully. I never wanted to, but... „

She couldn't continue. You see, when Joy was a little girl, everything always happened her way, and only her way. She hardly ever said sorry, hardly ever apologized. Other kids saw her as a little brat that always gets what she wants but actually... it wasn't even close. Sometimes, you just need someone who will listen, who dares to listen.

„ Come on, I'm getting kinda hungry and we don't want Alfie, Mick and Eddie to eat everything „ Nina said, standing up, offering her hand. Joy gladly took it. This was nice. Having a friend that isn't always into books, Mara, or always sarcastic, Patricia. Nina was just in between. She was smart but funny too.

Walk back to Anubis House was quiet. Awkwardly quiet. Even if they talked and sorted things out, kinda, it was still awkward...

„ So what do you think, what is wrong? „ They heard a voice coming from Anubis House.

„Fabian „ Nia mouthed and Joy nodded. They scurried closely to the door, ready to eavesdrop.

„ I don't know.. I'm not into girl stuff. As you may notice I'm still single which is a surprise considering what an eyesight am I „ They both looked and each other and rolled their eyes. Eddie, of course, being cocky as always.

„ She was just asking strange this morning. I'm getting worried „ Fabian said, looking down at his feet.

„ Are you sure that she is not just on her period? „ Eddie joked as Fabian playfully hit him on the arm, blushing, he was ashamed, for Eddie.

„ Eddie! Let's just go get breakfast and forget about this „

„ Whatever „ Boys left. Nina and Joy carefully opened the door.

„ That was weird „ Nina said awkwardly.

„ Tell me about it „

Nina and Joy entered the room only to be welcomed by usual sight. Amber was applying more mascara, being careful to not mess it up, Patricia was listening to her iPad, probably Sick Puppies, Mara was talking casually with Jerome. Last days they became really close. Mick, Alfie and Eddie were stuffing their faces with bacon, as usual. And Fabian... he was eating, the only sane one there.

„ Good morning guys „ Nina said taking her seat beside Fabian. Fabian smiled and kissed her.

„ Awww, Fabina getting back on the track? „ Amber squelled ( how do you spell it? )

Joy watched, hurt. She took a seat beside Patricia.

„ Woah, watch it out Rutter. Mercer is here, you don't wanna kiss Nina in front of her „ Jerome joked pointing to Joy which earned him a slap on the back of his head from Mara.

„ You know I'm not that bad! „ Joy snapped standing up from her seat. That was it.

„ So what if I like Fabian? So what if he is kissing Nina? Look how much I care! „ Now, Joy was standing beside Jerome's chair.

„ They can kiss and hug whenever they want. I don't even care. You probably know that feeling because last term no one didn't even cared about me! „ Joy yelled, eyeing every resident.

„ Joy, of course we cared. But you dad said that you were safe and okay. „ Mara looked at Joy. She could see the hurt in her eyes.

„ That's just another excuse. No one here cares. You all just care about your own self, especially you Jerome „ Joy looked at Jerome. It was his fault, right? He is responsible for her outburst.

„ You know what, Joy! We are all sick from your attitude.. ' No one cares about me... Nina totally replaced me... and so on, so on „ Jerome mimicked Joy's voice

„ You are fine! So stop with it! Not everything is about you „ And with that, Jerome left.

„ Joy, he didn't mean to say- „

„ Save it Mara! I don't care what your boyfriend meant „ Joy snapped and left. They could hear door being slammed shut.

A/N: Its finally done! Chapter 2 is here J

And no, Mick didn't left for Australia, I like him too much. And Mara and Jerome are not dating, yet. * evil grin * . And don't worry, its not over yet.

Stay tuned for chapter 3!
