Amber's POV
"Who's famous?" I asked Nina.
She was standing with her back to us, facing three girls. I bet those are the new students enrolling here. I gotta say, these girls have style. Their outfits are soooo cute and soooo to die for. Why can't Nina be like them. Sigh.
One of them had light blonde hair, kind of like mine, but a little more wavier. She was wearing blue, washed jeans with a soft pink, short sleeved bamboo tee and black converse.
Another girl was dark skinned with dark brown, curly hair. She was wearing yellow skinny jeans, a black sparkly top covered with a brown, leopard print jacket, and black, knee high flat boots.
The last girl, who had long, straightened, black hair with a few blue extensions in them, was wearing black, leather skinny jeans, a black and white top with a navy blue, denim jacket, and black stiletto boots.
"Who's famous?" I asked again, impatiently.
Nina slowly turned around to look at us. The expression on her face was a mixture between shocked, terrified, and somewhat horror.
"N-nothing. No one. Absolutely nothing at all." she answered rapidly. She was clearly hiding something. Nina has never been the best liar I've ever known.
My eyes narrowed at her and I pursed my lips. She just gave me a weak smile.
"Oh, you're here!" Trudy beamed. She went to give each of them a big, motherly hug, as she does to everyone. "I'm Trudy Rehmann, your house mother. Welcome to Anubis House." (I wanted to say that again. I miss season one, right now.)
"Anubis. Anubis. Isn't that an Egyptian god?" the dark haired one asked.
"Yes, it is." Fabian said. Always the smart ones.
"It sure looks a little creepy outside though." the blonde said, laughing nervously at the end.
'Oh, it is' and 'You got that right' rang through the room. Saying that Anubis House looks a little creepy is just an understatement if you actually live in the place.
"Oh, hush all of you." Trudy scolded us. She turned to face Nina who was standing awkwardly to the side. "Nina, dear? Would you like to introduce everyone?"
"Umm, sure." she answered. "Cloe, Jade, Sasha. This is Amber Millington," - she pointed to me and I gave a little wave to them, they waved back - "Alfie Louis, Jerome Clarke, Mara Jaffray, Mick Campbell, Eddie Miller (I know I should have said Sweet, but I don't want to), Fabian Rutter, Joy Mercer, and Patricia Williamson."
"Hi. So umm, how did you guys and Nina know each other?" I asked them.
"We used to be friends." the dark skinned girl answered. Sasha, I believe.
"Okay. By the way, totally loving your outfits! They are so stylish. Where did you get them?"
Everyone in the room groaned.
"Oh, you know. Here. There. Everywhere." she answered with a laugh at the end. Her friends laughed with her, too.
I turned to face Patricia and mouthed "What?" to her because I had no idea what they meant. She just shrugged her shoulders. I turned back to face them.
"Anyway, how about I show you guys to your room." Nina offered. It seemed like if she was in a hurry to get out of the room, but wasn't showing it.
"Good idea, Nina. Go on, all of you." Trudy waved her hands as to shoo them off and they went up the stairs to the attic.
"I think I'll make supper." Trudy told us and went to the kitchen to work her magic.
"Is it just me, or is there something going on with our little American friend that she isn't telling us." Alfie said once Nina and her friends were out of sight.
"I was thinking the exact same thing." Joy said suspiciously.
We all nodded in agreement.
"Well my friends," Jerome says devilishly and gets up from his spot from the couch to face all of us, "if it's answers you want, I'll" - he dramatically placed his hands to his chest - "be happy to get them."
"How about you, Fabian? You are her boyfriend." I pointed out before Jerome went any further.
Fabian opened his mouth to say something, but Jerome interrupted him.
"Or, we can save precious valuable time and let me do it for you."
"How exactly are you going to do that?" Fabian questioned him.
"Oh, my dear Rutter. By eavesdropping, of course."
"Okay, Jerome. How much will this cost us? Because if it does, I will be happy to tell you that we won't be needing your help to figure out Nina's secret." I reassured him.
"Umm, Amber..." Patricia called out to me. Her tone was ringing with 'Are you serious?'.
She's right. If anyone can do this, it's Jerome. I sighed heavily in defeat.
"Fine." I grumbled. "How much?"
I laid my hands on my hips in annoyance, waiting for the price.
"Nothing at all, my sparkly friend. Free of charge." he smirked and gave Alfie a high-five before tiptoeing up the stairs quietly.
I rolled my eyes and sat back down next to Alfie, waiting for the information he was going to bring us.
Nina's POV
"So, Yasmin. Why are your friends calling you by your middle name?" Jade asked me when we finished putting her's and the other's suitcases up in their room and were now in mine and Amber's room. Jade and I were sitting in my bed with her legs crossed and my back to my headboard while Cloe and Sasha were in Amber's.
"Umm, on the application to come here, the staff forgot to type in my first name so I guess it just stuck that way. I figured out it wouldn't mean anything because since 'Nina' is technically my name."
"Okay. Glad we got that out of the way. So tell me," - Cloe got out off Amber's bed and into mine. Jade dropped her legs from her crossed position and scooted closer to me to make room for her - "why did you come here? To England?"
I took a deep breath and began telling them everything. "The real reason why I left was not to get away from you guys, it was because of you guys."
When I said that, they all had confused looks on their faces. Sasha came over to my bed, too. Probably because she was feeling alone. I smiled at her action and then explained.
"It was the Bratz. The fame was just too much. I grew up in a small family. I like to think small. The girl I was back then, is now gone. I am now the exact same kindergarter who threw up during "Mary Had A Little Lamb"."
"Ewwwwww!" we all said and laughed loudly at the end.
"So," I began again, " I got a scholarship because of my journalism and came here. This is one of the most pretigious boarding school on all of England. I couldn't pass that offer up. Coming here is like a once in a lifetime deal. I had to say yes. So, without letting anyone knowing, besides Manny, of course," - I scowled at his name - "I came here. I stayed with my grandmother. Not Bubbie, but Gran."
"Wow! That was a lot, Yas." Sasha said.
I gave a small smile then I remembered something.
"Wait, how did you guys get in this school?" I asked, eyeing them suspiciously.
"Well, you know." Jade began. "My brains, Cloe's scholarship, and Sasha's Sasha-ness."
I laughed when she said the last part and went back to the conversation before.
"Yeah. That's why I can't be apart of the Bratz. Sorry." I said sadly, almost ashamed.
"Okay, so maybe you can't be a Bratz anymore, but you can be our friend again." Cloe reassured me.
They all nodded in agreement.
"But, girl. What happened to your passion for fashion?" Sasha joked, looking at my gray sweats that I was wearing and then laughed.
We all laughed with her.
"Don't worry. I still got it." I told them.
Cloe placed her hand out in front of her, Sasha placed her hand on top of her's, then Jade's, and lastly mine.
"BFFS?" Cloe asked.
"BFFS!" we chanted. We all laughed at the end and began catching up on what I missed over the last two years.
3rd Person POV
While the four friends reunited, they had no idea that someone had been listening to their whole conversation right outside the door.
Jerome's POV
Wow! Nina's apart of the Bratz? I thought to myself. That musical group Amber was obsessed about like, two years ago. Who would have thought Nina was Yasmin? I smirked to myself at all the advantages this information can lead me to.
Well, Ms. Martin. Your secret is out. Let the fun begin.
I rubbed my hands together and began walking down the stairs.
Tada! Done with chapter four! Now all the answers has been revealed. What will Jerome do with this kind of valuable information? Will he tell the others? Will Nina ever get over her stage fright like she did before? Review! I will be updating pretty soon on both of my stories. Ciao my friends!
