The first thing I did when I got up was ran to Nina's room to see if she was ok. I knocked and the door and she answered. I was so happy I was ok I attacked her with a hug. "Nina are you okay? Did Victor catch you? What happened up there? Did you bring back anything?" I started firing questions a mile a minute at her.

"Katie," she told me, "calm down. Go get ready and meet me back in my room and I'll tell you everything."

I quickly go ready and was in Nina's room talking to her.

"To answer your questions," she said, "I'm perfectly fine. Victor did not catch me. When I was up there something freaky happened. I was trying to find a place to hide I tripped. A door opened and I was able to hide. I later realized that the necklace opened the door. I know this is going to sound crazy but I need to go back up to the attic."

"Why?" I asked.

"I need to figure out if I actually saw something when I opened the door again."

"Okay." I said. "We should get down stairs now."

"Yeah, come on.

We made our way down stairs to the dinning room. When we entered the dinning room everyone started clapping for Nina. Everyone kept asking her what happened in there and if it was scary or not. Then Nina started joking around about moving up there and I laughed.

"Wasn't she brave?" Amber asked.

"Even you have to admit she did pass her initiation test with flying colors." Fabian said. Patricia just glared at him.

"No she didn't bring anything back did she." Patricia said. Nina took out a book that she got from the attic then Patricia stormed out of the room.

Nina got up to go and I told her to go ahead because I needed my phone. I went up to my room to get my phone and I couldn't find it. I heard a knock on the door and opened it. I saw Jerome.

"Looking for something." He said as he held up my phone.

"Yes! Thank you so much for finding it." I said I tried to get my phone and he held it up high.

"Well you'll have to catch me to get it," he said as he started running. I stood there for a second the grabbed my bag and ran after him.

"Get back here Jerome! And give me back my phone," I yelled at him as I ran past Nina and Fabian talking. Thank goodness I ran track. In no time at all I was catching up to Jerome. When I got to him I tackled him and landed on top. After I finally go my phone I realized the position we were in. Jerome was on his back and I was straddling his waist. Embarrassing much. I don't think there was a name to describe the color red I was.

"You know I think I like this position," Jerome said. I scoffed, got up and walked the rest of the way to the school.

After class I walked out and heard Patricia and Mara talking about her friends disappearance. Why couldn't she get it in her head that Nina wasn't part of it? When I got home after school I went to my room. I sat there thinking of what to do and decided id go see Sarah.

"Trudy, can I go to the nursing home today I would like to visit Sarah."

"Go on ahead sweetheart."

When I go to the home I asked for Sarah. "Hey Sarah it's me Katie. Do you remember me?" I asked her.

"It's you," she said. "Come here I have something to give you." I walked over to her and she gave me a necklace like Nina's only a different symbol. "Save the house. The house is key to the treasure." She said right before she fell asleep. As I left I decided that when I got home I would try to figure out what the symbol meant.

When I got home I was pulled into amber's room along with Nina by none other than amber herself.

"Look my plan totally worked after all. Mick wants to meet me in the laundry room at 11." She said.

Nina and I sat in her room for 2 hours helping her pick out an outfit for it. After dinner I finally had enough time to look to see what the symbol meant. At least I though I did.

"Hey cutie."

"Ever here of knocking, Jerome." I asked. "What do you want?"

"What I can't just come and visit without wanting something."

"You. No."

"Well it's not me who needs something it Alfie actually. He needs help getting ready for a date."

"I'm coming."

I walk downstairs with Jerome.

"Hey Alfie. Jerome said you needed help getting ready for a date."

"Yeah just hold on a minute." Alfie headed to the bathroom to show me what he was planning on wearing. When he walked out I didn't know exactly what to say. But I definitely can say only Alfie had the courage to wear it.

"You picked this by yourself right?" I asked him.

"Yes I did. You like."

I didn't want to hurt his feelings at all. "Well your definitely can pull it off the best.

"Thanks Katie."

"Is that all I was needed for?" I asked.

"Yep." Said Alfie. "You can go back to what you were doing."

Finally. Now I can figure out what this symbol really means. I was able to run up the stairs before Victor started his speech. I got up to my room and turned on my computer. I went on to the Internet and search up Ancient Egyptian symbols. When a site came up I looked and figured out what the symbol was, Ankh the symbol of eternal life. Well, that fits the plot. After I turned off my computer I went to bed.

That morning after I got ready and was about to go to school when I saw Amber walking down the stairs looking sad.

"Hey Amber, want to walk to school with me?" I asked

"Sure.'

"What's wrong?" I asked her while on our way.

"Mick never showed up last night."

"Oh. I'm Sorry Amber." The rest of the way to school was silent.

After I got home from school Victor was taking our coats and bag. I gave him them and walked into the sitting room. Jerome and Mick went into the room too. Jerome took a seat on the couch and Mick started Juggling his Soccer/Football ball. Jerome asked Mick about Amber. I decided to put in my Ipod. I took out the ear bud when Amber walked in. After Amber sat down Patricia and Mara walked in.

"What are you grinning about." Patricia asked Jerome.

"Just happy to be alive" he said.

"Well some of us would be happy if you weren't." I spoke. "Have you seen any sign of our bags?" I asked them changing the subject.

"No not yet" Patricia said.

Jerome started talking about how it was the perfect excuse for not doing French when Victor walked in with our bags. I went to grab mine when Jerome grabbed it.

"Can I have my bag back?"

"For a kiss Maybe." He said.

"How many times do I have to tell you your not getting my first kiss?"

"You've never had your first kiss?" Asked Amber.

"Nor a boyfriend." I said

"Poor girl." She said

While Jerome was distracted I was able to get my bag.

The next day everyone was out playing soccer/football whatever you want to call it. Well at least the boys were. I was the only girl playing. I play back in America on a team so I was pretty good. Mick joined the game and ended up pushing Alfie down. I ran to see if he was okay. I don't think I've ever seen Jerome look so concerned. But I've also never seen someone fake an injury so badly. Well there's a first for everything. Not to mention Amber falling for the fake injury.

Back in the school I walked in on Nina and Fabian talking. They were looking at the picture in the locket when I heard Fabian say. "She's right this does look like you. You have the same pretty eyes." Well time to ruin the moment.

"Whatcha doing?" I asked.

"We found Egyptian Hieroglyphics in the attic and are trying to find out what they mean." Nina told me. I saw Fabian give her a look.

"Don't worry Fabian I was there when she got the locket I already know." Fabian gave a sigh of relief.

After school at the house Amber was taking care of Alfie which I thought was pretty pathetic of Alfie to make her do. I walked over the table as Nina came in. she figured out what the Hieroglyphics meant. While talking to them we figured out that Amber thought she was going on a date with Mick and Alfie thought Mick ruined his message to Amber and that Jerome had been edging them both on.

"Wait so that day when Jerome had me help Alfie for a date it was supposed to be with Amber. Gosh how could I be so stupid as to not put 2 and 2 together." I said.

The next day at school I was sitting on the couch with Mick helping him with his homework when Jerome and Fabian came in. Fabian got Jerome to tell Mick the truth about Amber and Mick. Thank gosh. Mick ran out of the room probably going to go see Amber.

"Nice Fabian. Oh and one more thing. Try not to hurt Nina okay." I said.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll understand when your realized it yourself." And with that said I walked away.

We were all down stairs when Patricia shouted. "Yes! I got an email from Joy." Everyone gathered around her as she read it. Once she was done reading she somewhat apologized to Nina. We all sat down to eat when Amber and Mick came down announcing they were back together and that we were all invited to their Back together party.

After dinner I went to go upstairs when I tripped. I started to fall backwards when someone caught me. I turned around. Of course non other than Jerome caught me. "Why were you following me," I asked.

"You forgot something on your desk today," he said as he held out his hand to me. In his hand was my necklace that I always wear. I was the Sagittarius symbol with the arrowhead the December stone. I got the necklace from my father when I was 10 and have worn it ever since. I took the necklace from his hand. Surprisingly he let me. He turned and started to walk away.

"Wait, Jerome. Thank you very much. You don't know how much it means to me." With out realizing what I was doing I gave him a hug and ran up stairs again almost tripping on the 8th step.

I got to my room, got ready for bed and sat there thinking for a few minutes. Why did Jerome just hand me the necklace. Why did I want him to make me work to get the necklace? Have his eyes always been that blue-whoa Katie stop right there you can't think like that. On that thought I fell asleep.
