Dinner Drama

Nina's POV

Fabian is actually really nice. He's sweet, polite and I'm guessing a little shy. As soon as I was done unpacking and walked down the stairs, he was the first to introduce himself and even offered a tour of the campus! I thought I would be a little left out for a while because, according to Fabian, there was someone else here named Joy. She moved out just today, so I see how everyone would feel like I was "taking her place". That's how I would feel if some new girl just came in after someone who was here for years, just left. I even told Fabian that as we were walking. He told me that maybe everyone would feel like that, but will get over it in time and that I shouldn't worry. He was so sweet! He gave me a tour of the school grounds and we talked about our lives and things we liked, hobbies, etc. We actually had more in common than I thought. We were both into Egyptian history, we both liked rock music and we both loved astronomy. It was funny, because most guys dumped me for being too "nerdy". But I finally found someone who liked all the stuff I did. I think Fabian and I will become very good friends.

Patricia's POV

I saw Fabian talking to the new girl by the stairs and then out the door the two went. It seems to me that Fabian is being a little too friendly with the new girl. Joy had just barely left and he's acting like she never even went to school here! Well, I don't trust the new girl. I think there might be something….suspicious about her. Until she proves to make me think otherwise, I'm going to keep my eye on her..

Fabian's POV

As soon as we got back into the house, it was just about time for dinner. Trudy ushered us in and told us to take a seat before the food got cold.

"Trudy is super nice! She's so sweet." I told Fabian.

"Yeah, she treats us all like her children and that's why we love her so much." He replied.

When everyone else got into the dining room to sit and eat, they were all eyeing Nina. I think it was in a bad way. Halfway through dinner, Nina apparently decided to not ignore it anymore and stood up from her chair.

"Nina, what are you doing?" I nervously whispered. She just looked at me and started to speak anyway.

"Look, I know you guys don't really like me all that much and I understand why. But I'm not here to replace anyone. I just came here to have a good time and make new friends. So, if you all give me a chance, I'm really not all bad."

She took a deep breath after saying her short speech and everyone was just looking at her. I smiled at her admiringly. It takes guts to stand up and tell a house full of people who potentially might not like you and say how you feel any way. So, we were all in a tension and after what seemed like hours, Mara was the first to stand up and formally introduce herself to Nina.

"Hi, I'm Mara. I don't know about everyone else, but you look like a really nice person," she said to Nina. She looked back at the rest of our housemates. "And I think everyone here is willing to give you a chance. I know I am." She smiled at Nina.

"Thanks, Mara," Nina replied.

Amber was the next to stand up. "You do look really nice. Your fashion sense could use a little work though. Not a problem with me as your roommate."

Soon, everyone was standing up. Everyone but Patricia that is. She just sat there with a sour expression on her face. If looks could kill, Nina would be far beyond dead. Suddenly, she stood up.

"Well, I'm not giving you a chance. I know there's something wrong with this whole thing here. I never trust American people."

"Come on, Patricia. I think you're being a bit harsh," I said, trying to calm her down and see everyone else's side of this situation.

"No, I'm not. Joy hasn't even been gone a day yet and you're all acting like she never even went to school here! You're all set to be buddy-buddy with the new American. Well, I have a newsflash for you, newbie. I don't forget people easily. Especially my best friends."

With that she stood up with the pitcher of water and started to walk towards Nina.

"Patricia, I don't think this is a good idea..," I said, trying to stop her. She just ignored me and dumped the water all over Nina. Everyone gasped and Nina just stood there with a shocked expression on her face. I immediately stood up and walked into the kitchen to get some paper towels and by the time I got back, Nina was gone. I looked over to my housemates and my best mate, Mick, pointed towards the hallway. And there she was sitting in a chair by the phone, crying. I looked at her and my heart started to break. All she wanted to do was make everyone see that she wasn't evil. If only Patricia would let Joy go. That's when my blood started to boil. I walked over to Nina and set the paper towels down beside her.

"Are you okay, Nina?" I said. She just looked up at me, tried to muster up a smile and nodded. I told her I would be right back and then walked back into the dining room. I was going to unleash my anger on Patricia.
