Chapter 2: Isis House is Heaven on Earth
P.S: This was going on meanwhile the Anubis gang found out about the switch.
Nina and Eddie stood in front of a looming townhouse that resembled the Anubis House, though the Isis House was bigger.
"Wow, déjà vu." Eddie murmured. Nina nodded in accord. Eddie turned to Nina. "Are you ready?" He reached for her hand. She nodded again without a hint of discordant. (A/N: There's only Neddie friendship.)
Nina reached for the doorbell, but the door opened as if someone was welcoming her into the house. "Déjà vu," She mumbled as she knocked on the adjacent door.
A pretty woman with waist length red hair and blue eyes appeared from another hallway. "Hello! You must be Nina and Eddie! I'm Regina Goodbody!" (A/N: iCarly reference!)
Eddie and Nina exchanged glances as they entered the house. The house was a carbon copy of the Anubis House, but didn't have any creepy Egyptian stuff. The house had paintings of people and quotes, instead of mummies. The foyer had a flat screen TV, a GameCube, Wii, PlayStation 3, and XBOX. It was heaven.
"Just kidding! I'm Regina Williams and I'm the housemother and caretaker. I'm 20 years old and I graduated from Oxford very early with honors! I'm very smart!" Regina said in a hyper voice.
"Uh—" Eddie stuttered.
"Let's get you two to your rooms! Boys' room are upstairs and girls' room are downstairs. Nina, you have your own room and Eddie, you room with Cullen! Cullen! Kathleen! The new students are here!" Regina spoke really fast and yelled up the wooden stairs.
A beautiful girl with blonde and hints of brown hair and hazel orbs ran down the stairs. She was wearing a floral pink corset, a red/pink miniskirt, pink wedges, and a black jacket. Though that would look slutty on any other person, Kathleen made it look wholesome.
Eddie murmured, "I have Patricia, I have Patricia, I have Patricia, I have Patricia, I have Patricia." Nina giggled at his behavior.
A handsome boy with blonde hair and blue orbs followed her. Weirdly, the stairs didn't creak.
"Hello, I'm Kathleen. You must be Nina," Kathleen smiled and shook Nina's hand. Nina shook back with a smile.
"Hey, I'm Cullen, and you must be Eddie, Sweetie's son," Cullen grinned.
Eddie cringed. "Yeah."
Cullen frowned and said, "I, for one, think it's cool to be Sweetie's son."
Eddie glanced up. "Really? Most people just tease me about it."
"Why? You probably get to ditch school and not get punished for it!" Cullen exclaimed. Kathleen rolled her eyes.
"Don't mind Cullen; he has an IQ of a balloon," Kathleen said.
Cullen snickered, "And you have the IQ of paper."
"Okay, you two, stop it. Kathleen, show Nina her room and Cullen, show Eddie your room." Regina ordered.
"Yes sir!" Kathleen said, raising her arms in a mock salute.
Regina mock-glared at her. "Kathleen!"
"Yes Regina!" Kathleen giggled and walked farther down the hallway. Nina followed suit.
Cullen chuckled. "Be aware, new girl! Kathleen's no fun!"
Kathleen flipped him off. Cullen chuckled again.
But neither Eddie nor Nina missed a flirty wink Kathleen gave Cullen, or the suggestive look Cullen gave Kathleen.
…
"Kathleen, is there anything going on between you and Cullen?" Nina asked Kathleen as they walked down the hallway. Kathleen's eyes widened.
"No! I mean, why would you think that?" Kathleen asked.
"Well, you gave each other flirty looks, but you act like you hate each other. I'm very observant," Nina remarked.
"Here's your bedroom!" Kathleen changed the subject, her arms thrown in a ta-da manner. Nina tried to object, but her jaw dropped instead. In the middle of the room, there was a huge queen size bed. Mounted on the wall were a huge flat screen TV and a huge Louis Tomlinson poster. A crème couch was in front of the TV, just waiting to be sat on. A platinum bookshelf was lazily leaning against a wall. Next to the bookshelf was a white desk and black and white chair. On the desk were a stationary, a Kindle Fire, and a MacPro. A huge bay window overlooked the castle-like school.
"W-what? This is my room?" Nina gawked. She touched the MacPro and Kindle Fire. "This isn't mine."
"I know. But this is the house's warming gift," Kathleen grinned.
"I can't accept this," Nina reluctantly handed the expensive gifts back. Kathleen gave them right back.
"If you don't accept them, Regina will have to give you detention for a month," Kathleen deadpanned said.
"Okay, don't want detention! Where did you find enough money to buy all of this? This room must have cost at least $2,000—I mean £ 1,300!"
"We, Isis House, have very rich parents. Since we usually never get new students, we like to spoil our new roommates!" Kathleen smiled.
"Kath, have you seen my hair curler—oh hi!" A girl with dark red hair exclaimed from the doorway. She looked like a carbon copy of Amber: she was sporting a perfect pink mini dress and equally pink shoes. "I'm Scarlett and you must be Nina!"
"It's nice to meet you," Nina offered her hand to Scarlett. Scarlett ignored her hand and hugged Nina tightly. Nina could barely breathe.
"Oh my god Scar! Let the girl breathe!" Kathleen yanked Scarlett off of Nina.
"I'm sorry! We never get new students and well, now you're here!" Scarlett tearfully stated.
Nina's POV
"Dinner! Come and get it!" Regina called from downstairs. I left my bags on my bed and followed Scarlett and Kathleen downstairs. An array of different kinds of steak and sauces was arranged on the long table. Salads and pitchers of drinks were set at the middle of the table. Bottomless French fries or "chips" were in two bowls, steamy and hot. One girl and three boys were already at the table, licking their lips.
"Jakey!" Scarlett cried and jumped into a tanned guy's lap.
"Hey Scar," He pecked her lips. I smiled at the couple. It was obvious that they loved each other very much. I used to be in love with Fabian that way, but now….all the love is gone.
"Guys, this is Nina, the new student," Kathleen introduced.
Cullen sauntered in with an awed Eddie. "And here's the other new student, Eddie."
Eddie and I sat next to each other. "Was your bedroom as awesome as mine?" I whispered to Eddie.
He nodded. "Yeah, such a trade-up from the Anubis House. I got an iPad and a HP Laptop."
I frowned, "Not fair! I got a Kindle Fire and a MacPro!"
"Oh, lucky! I've always wanted a Kindle Fire! Trade?"
"Sure! My room had a bay window. I've always wanted one!"
"My room had a swirly slide like the one from Big Time Rush."
I gave Eddie a weird look.
"What? That was the only show the plane offered that was free!" Eddie defended himself.
"You're weird."
"Okay, let's get started! Oh, and everyone, meet Nina and Eddie!" Regina spoke really fast. "Wait, where's Jaz? And where's Toby? Oh yeah, Toby's at his book club meeting! Where's Jaz?"
"I think she's eating at the Ptah House," A girl with long wavy black hair and hazel eyes said. She didn't even pardon Regina's fast-talking.
Regina rolled her eyes. "Why doesn't she just transfer into the Ptah House? She rarely lives here! And I told her we were getting new students today!"
"Relax, Regina. She's just there visiting her brother and her future husband, Freddie," Kathleen rolled her eyes at the crazy housemother and caretaker.
"Fill Nina and Eddie in whilst I visit the Ptah House," Regina ordered and stormed out of the house.
"I'm Lucas or Luke for short." A boy with cuffed hair and a misshapen smirk acknowledged us. He sort of reminded me of Jerome. Willow smiled at him as he smiled back. Aww!
"Hey, I'm Willow," The girl with long wavy hair said. "Jaz would be here, but her younger brother lives in Ptah House and she wants to make sure no one is bullying him anymore. She also loves Freddie, her brother's roommate, even though he's like two years younger than her." She reminded me of Mara…..
"Ignoring Ms. Gossip over there, hey I'm Jake, Scar's boyfriend." The tanned and muscular guy whom was holding Scarlett onto his lap grinned at everyone. He reminded me of Mick….
"You already know me!" Scarlett giggled at Jake's introduction.
"I'm Cullen, the awesomest guy in the whole world!" Cullen exclaimed. That's Alfie right there….
"Awesomest isn't a word," Willow rolled her eyes.
"Well it is now because I'm awesome and sexy! And I know it!" Cullen shouted.
"Shut it slime ball," Kathleen snarled at him. That's a Patricia right there…. "And you already know me, Kathleen."
"I'm Jackson," A boy with bronze hair shyly stated. He grinned at Willow. Uh-oh, love triangle alert. Just like Amber/Mick/Mara love triangle….
A boy with blonde hair and blue eyes entered the dining room. His eyes landed right on me. When I tried to speak, my throat felt all tight and hot.
He chuckled, "You must be Nina. Hi, I'm Toby."
I had a feeling that my stay at the Isis House would be like heaven.
Boom! Another chapter done! It's going to take me a whole to edit this, especially with dyslexia. All mistakes are mine, since I don't have a beta reader. If anyone knows or wants to be my beta reader, please PM or review me.
STUPID DYSLEXIA!
Ooh, we finally got to meet Toby! BTW, he portrayed by Keegan Allen, whom is Toby on Pretty Little Liars. He is so cute, especially with the new haircut!
Did I suck or rock? Hit me up in the reviews!
Austin Moon out!
I'm not actually Austin Moon, but I have a poster of him in my bedroom!
