Thank you to those who alerted! On with the story
Everyone was in the common room because Victor had an announcement, I already know what it is so I just sat there looking inpatient. Patricia was talking to Mara about a show called Degrassi. I only know about because Nina and our fourteen year old sister, Miley, watch it. Whereas Miley watches it for the smoking hot guys, her words not mine, Nina watches for the girls and guys, but mostly the girls probably.
Amber was talking with Alfie. Fabian was just staring at Nina, weird right? Mick was glaring at Jerome, while Jerome was smirking back at him with his arm around Mara. Apparently Jerome was making fun of Mick yet again. They only person who was actually doing something fun-ish was Nina. She was texting someone on her phone and smiling. If I asked who it was she would probably say, "You know who it is." She always does.
Victor walked in then and yelled at us to, and I quote, simmer down. "I have to go away for a day so I am staying at a hotel. I want you all to behave for Trudy, otherwise you will all be in trouble and you won't get the surprise I have for you." With that he walked out and got into his car. Everyone looked at each other in surprise because of the surprise Victor had for us. I tried not to smile or smirk and in the end I didn't.
Nina's phone started to ring and she screamed then answered it. "Hey, Miley... I'm great, what about you…What the heck do you mean Nate broke up with you… No I won't leave him alone someone has to beat him up… Do you really want that person to be your overprotective brother? Yeah didn't think so…Just tell me where he lives and I will find him…He goes to school here on scholarship? This should be easy then...Horus House you say? Well just so happens I live in the house next to that one, and I am heading over there now…Fine I'll leave him alone, for now." She hung up after that was said.
"Who is Miley?" Amber asked her. "One of my best friends from the U.S. she is like a sister to me." Nina told her, that wasn't a complete lie, Miley was like a best friend to us but she is our sister, she isn't like a sister. Amber nodded and went back to talking to Alfie. Nina went back to texting, you guessed it, Joy. Fabian, looking quite jealous, asked her who she was texting. "No one." She told him, not looking up from her phone.
Everyone was now paying attention, even Patricia and Mara who had been deep in conversation on how hot the guys who played Drew and Eli on Degrassi were. "It doesn't look like no one, Martin." Jerome said, taking his arm away from Mara. Nina looked up and told them it was a friend. "What kind of friend?" Fabian asked leaning towards her phone to look at it. "Will you just hop off my back? I don't ask you guys who you are texting; I mind my own fracking business instead." She got up and walked away after saying that.
"What was that about?" Alfie asked out loud. "Maybe it was because you guys were invading her privacy." I told them getting up from my spot on the floor to take Nina's spot in between Fabian and Patricia. Alfie nodded agreeing with me. I heard the shower upstairs turn on and I knew Nina was going to go to bed. She always gets a shower before bed, no matter what.
Everyone decided to turn in after trying to find something to watch on TV. Nothing was on except wrestling but not even Mick wanted to watch that. The girls went upstairs and waited for Nina to get done in the shower, wanting to ask about a sleepover in her and Amber's room. The guys and I just went to our rooms, got changed, and fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows.
Nina's point of view
The girls and I didn't go to sleep until around six in the morning, so we all slept in to like four in the afternoon, but at least we didn't have school. All of the teachers had meetings filling up their whole week. We all woke up at the same time which was quite weird. After we got dressed for the day we went down stairs. When we got to the common room I realized I left my phone in my room on charge. I didn't feel like going up to get it so I just sat down on the couch next to Patricia who was next to Eddie.
"Morning sleepy heads; when did you go to sleep last night?" Fabian asked sitting on the arm of the couch. We shrugged and I yawned. No matter what I would always be tired throughout the entire day. He put his arm around my shoulders and I shrugged it off. Jerome snickered and Fabian tried to glare at him. Keyword tried.
We just sat around that day, either watching TV or playing silly games like Truth or Dare and Never Have I Ever. We were currently watching the latest X-Men movie. It was really good, in fact me and Joy like to watch it. But our all time favorite movie to watch together is Now You See It, with Johnny Pacar. Now that is a great movie.
Soon the movie credits were rolling and I had run upstairs to get my phone now full of battery. No missed calls or texts, yes I didn't make anyone mad by not answering. As I got down Trudy was on the phone telling whoever it was that we would come get them.
I followed her into the common room and she announced, "Listen up, Victor's car is in the shop so we will all have to get him right now. So grab your coats and we will be on our way. The ride there is long so grab some snacks. We won't have enough room for all of us in the van so I called a cab for me and victor to share. Jerome I trust you to drive the van there safely. Here are the keys. The hotel's name is The Margret Hotel, you know where that is. The cab should be here by now. Bye see you there."
We all went into the kitchen and raided the cabinets looking for snacks. The girls and I filled our purses with small bags of chips for us and the boys and water bottles. Always pack for the worst is what my mother, Jean Sweet, tells me and my siblings, and that is exactly what we did. With our bags filled with bags of chips, cookies, and water bottles we climbed into the van and headed towards the hotel.
When we arrived to the hotel we saw Trudy so we parked and got out of the van. We all walked into the hotel and Trudy said we were here for a friend. We all sat down on the couches and chairs for a while but when we looked up no one was there and it looked like the lights were turning off. So we started to walk towards the revolving doors.
"Hey guys, what are you forgetting me here?" I heard a familiar voice say. We turned and there stood Joy, I suppressed the urge to go and hug her. All the others hugged her except Eddie. Instead he turned to me and winked. Please tell me he did not plan this. He probably did, he knew how much I missed her.
