Hi guys! Here's the next chapter, I hope you like it! And look out for a reference to Taylor Swift's song "Treacherous". See if you can find it! :) - Sydney
(Nina's POV)
I woke up the next morning pressed up against Fabian. When I realized where I was, I smiled. I guess he was awake before me, because he quickly turned and kissed me on the cheek when he realized I was next to him.
"Morning love." he whispered with a smile.
"Morning." I whispered back, leaning in to kiss him.
"Get a room!" Mick yelled from his bed.
"We're in a room!" Fabian called back.
"Then go under the covers!" Eddie screamed. Fabian rolled his eyes, but pulled the covers over our heads anyways.
It was hot under the comforter, and I could feel Fabian's heat radiating off of him. I clutched his shirt, resting my hand on his chest. We leaned in close, but not close enough for our lips to touch. When the gravity got to be too much, I fell forward, letting my lips crash into his. We didn't make out. We didn't get very heated. But being so close to him in such a close space gave me a rush I didn't want, and clearly he got one too, because when we pulled apart for air, he said, "we should get ready for school". I nodded, and tugged the covers off of our heads, slipping out of bed in the process.
As I ran up the stairs to my room, Victor poked his head out of his office.
"What were you doing out of bed, Miss Martin?" the stern man asked me.
"Nothing!" I replied quickly, running into my room and slamming the door.
I pulled on my white button-down shirt, my blazer embellished with the school logo, my black skirt, and my grey socks. Then I brushed my hair, but didn't pull it up, and headed downstairs.
Fabian was already sitting at the table, in his usual spot, when I got there. His tie was undone, his shirt unbuttoned a little at the top, and his hair was still wet from a shower. He had a pastry crammed in his mouth, and when he said "good morning" to me, it sounded more like "gummaring". I laughed, and sat down next to him.
"Hey Nina." Fabian said when he finished his pastry.
"Hey." I smiled. He buttoned up his shirt, much to my dismay, and he noticed.
"What?" he asked, a sly grin playing on his beautiful face.
"Oh, nothing." I replied smugly, still eyeing his shirt.
"Is something wrong?" Fabian wondered.
"Maybe - you can leave those buttons undone." I whispered, reaching to undo the top two. Of course, at that moment, Patricia and Eddie walked in.
"I always walk in at the wrong moments!" Patricia whined.
"Maybe you could do that for me sometime, Yacker." Eddie told his girlfriend, waggling his eyebrows at her.
"Aw, shut up slimeball." Patricia laughed, hitting him playfully on the shoulder. Eddie grinned like mad, and Fabian rolled his eyes.
"We'd better get going if we want to get there early!" I exclaimed, noticing the time. School was to start in twenty minutes.
"Right, let's go." Fabian agreed.
"Bye lovebirds!" Patricia screamed as we walked out the door. I could still hear her and Eddie laughing when we crossed the front lawn.
When Fabian and I got to school, no one was in the halls. Teachers were in meetings, scattered throughout the school, but we were the only one in our hallway. So I decided to play a game.
"Bet you can't catch me." I giggled as I snatched Fabian's Winter hat.
"Neens!" he yelled, starting to dash after me.
I ran, fast, through the halls. When Fabian would start to catch up, I would squeal and run faster. People started to open their doors and look out into the halls, but they didn't see us. We would already be in a different wing of the school.
Eventually, I got tired and slowed down a little. That's when Fabian caught up to me, wrapped his arms around my waist, and spun me around in circles. I laughed, and ended up kissing him. I don't even know how, we're just drawn together like magnets. The bell rung for homeroom, so Fabian and I ran to Miss Valentine's classroom as fast as we could. I shoved my stuff into my locker, and took a seat, waiting for Fabian.

No One's POV
Fabian sprinted down the halls with Nina, just making it to homeroom. Bag slung over his shoulder, he headed to class. But Mr. Sweet stopped him before he could enter the room.
"Fabian, you're looking very - happy today." the older man told him brightly. Fabian nodded.
"I have a reason to be." he answered kindly.
"Is that so?" Fabian nodded again, "well then, good."
Just as Fabian started walking into the classroom, Nina caught up to him. Mr. Sweet nodded his head in understanding. Fabian was happy because his girl was back.

Nina's POV
"Alright class, settle down, settle down," Mr. Sweet demanded, "everyone in your seats!" The class scrambled to find their chairs, including Fabian and I.
"Ah, Nina. Glad to have you back." our teacher smiled. I nodded.
"Good to be back." I said.
"Okay, well, we've just picked partners for a new project, and the only one who doesn't have a partner is ... Joy. Is that alright, Nina?" he asked.
"Yeah, great." I smiled, but winced a little bit. I bet Joy wasn't happy that I was back at all.
After class, I met up with Joy at her locker.
"Hey, so do you wanna start the project at the house later?" I asked her nicely. To my surprise, she was just as nice back.
"Yeah, definitely. Is your room alright? KT and Patricia are working together and I'm assuming they're going to be loud. They're investigating volume levels of music and how it affects brain cells or whatever." Joy laughed.
"Of course it's okay. See you after dinner?" I suggested. Joy nodded and I ran after Fabian.
(Line Break)
Evening came and went quickly, and I soon found myself waiting for Joy to appear in my bedroom. When she did come, we started working on picking a project. It was rather awkward, we barely spoke at all. Eventually, I had to break the silence.
"Uh, Joy, I think we need to talk." I said quickly.
"Okay. About what?" she asked, her head popping up from somewhere in the depths of the internet.
"I think you know what we need to talk about."
"Yeah. Nina, I'm not going to lie. I like Fabian, and I want to date him, but as much as I do, I'm not going to protest your relationship," she told me, "Fabian and I have always been close, and yeah, I don't love that he doesn't spend as much time with me anymore, but I do love how happy he is. Nina, I hope you know how much he loves you, and I hope you love him that much too."
"I do. I really, really do. I just feel bad because I know how close you and Fabian were before I came here. But Joy, I love him more than anything." I whispered. I don't even know why I whispered, it just felt right.
"Nina, don't feel bad. Fabes and I were never meant to be," Joy smiled, "can we put this all behind us now?"
"Of course."
There's chapter 3! Chapter 4 will be posted next week. Look out for it, and thank you for all your amazing reviews! :) - Sydney
