Happy Birthday
December Drabbles
Day Four
I paced throughout my room, much to the displeasure of my new roommate Anna. Anna Macalester to be exact. She had taken the spot of my previous American roommate Nina Martin. I soon began to understand the flood of emotions that Patricia had when Joy vanished.
Annoyance.
Anger.
Judgment.
Of course I was a brilliant and kind person so unlick the redhead I didn't bully her, however she was not my best friend. We chatted briefly and made contact as little as possible. There was thick tension and she could tell that, so did her best effort to leave me be and do my own thing.
I pressed the top button on my iPhone causing the bright screen to light up the pink room. Soon it would mark the birthday of my best friend who was back home. My plan was to sneak down to the basement and leave her a long and heartfelt voice message.
It may seem easy on the outside, but no one can comprehend the wrath of Victor. If I got caught he would look down on me throughout the rest of the year, since it was only summer now.
I curled my toes into my deep Ugg slippers finally silently creaking open the door. The downfall to this old Victorian was that it was just that, an old Victorian with wooden floors that sounded like a dying, beached whale whenever the slightest ounce of pressure was applied.
Continuing forward my stance was that of a spy, pressed up against the wall and crouched down. It felt a little thrilling- reminding me of the mysteries and all-nighters we used to pull. A smile tugged on the corners of my mouth.
When you exited my bedroom door, you took a direct left and were met with a long hallway, Go foreword, open a door and you face Victor's office. He was (unfortunately and sadly) the head of the Anubis House.
If you took a second sharp left, there you faced the stairwell where I was currently stationed silently thanking the heavens that Victor's loud snores were heard.
"Amber!" While going down the staircase carefully one by one, my ears picked up on Fabian's shout-whisper.
"I'm right here Fabian. No need to panic."
He just shook his head, brown hair flopping side to side. "Let's hurry." I nodded and finished down the stairs. Fabian looked at my outfit, a nice set of pajamas, and very fashionable in my eyes.
"What? I need to maintain my image." He just rolled his eyes.
We traveled past the boy's rooms where Alfie poked his head out and gave thumbs up and maneuvered around the counter tops to use a secret passageway that connected to the basement.
I told you it was old.
"Fabian," I whined, "I got dust on my pajamas."
He hesitated but brushed off the dust then flinched. "A bug." My eyes widened but he quickly covered my mouth and flicked the bug off.
"Let's just call her now." I gave my hair a little flick and checked the time. We were one minute ahead, but by the time we called her it would be July 7th.
"It's ringing."
"Hey this is Nina. Leave a message and I'll call you when I can. Thanks!"
"NINA! Happy birthday best American friend!"
"And girlfriend!" Fabian said, hovering over the phone now on speaker.
"We miss you. A lot. Since we only have two minutes until the answering machine cuts us off, we will be quick." I turned to Fabian.
"Cover your ears."
"Why? I want to talk to her too."
"One minute each. Good?"
He paused, but then nodded.
"Nines! It's Amber…. Well I know that you're back home and you've been having a hard time, but never forget how much I love you, okay? It's been almost two years since we've known you. Amazing right? We have had so many good times, like millions of songs and of course, the black sweatshirt." I gave a small laugh.
"You are such an inspiration Nina Martin. You will forever be my best friend and are the only one that can put up with my crazy obsessions and habits that everyone else hates. I can't thank you enough. I will always be there for you, as a crazy friend. You're beautiful inside and out, and don't forget it! Love you girly. Happy Birthday. Bye."
So, I didn't want to write Fabian's part because that wills be tomorrow. Aaanddd… A lot of crap happened today. D:
