Daniel & Fabian looked nothing alike. But at the same time they did. It's not that they were fraternal twins, they weren't, they were identical, but it was like their personalities really showed on the outside. They had the same eyes & nose. You could tell them apart in a heartbeat, though. Daniel's hair was longer & covered his eyes little bit. Fabian was about an inch taller. Daniel was a lot more ripped than Fabian, but Fabian was still fit. Fabian wore the school uniform while Daniel wore a black leather jacket instead of the traditional red blazer.
We kind of just sat there in shock while Daniel leaned over the table smirking.
"So come on brother, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" Daniel pretended to be hurt by Fabian's lack of communication while he nudged him in the shoulder. It was like he was Damon Salvatore 2.0, & Fabian was sweet Stefan.
"I'd rather not," I could tell Fabian was trying his hardest to be as polite as possible, but let's be real, his brother was kind of a douche.
"Why not? We are twins after all. Your friends are my friends." He winked at me for what felt like the 12th time. I was imagining the amount of sass Patricia would be giving him right now if she was in this class with us.
"Mr. Rutter," Mrs. Atkins snapped. I almost forgot we were still in class.
Fabian & Daniel both looked at her, but she pointed at Daniel.
"Would you mind sitting in your seat & not interrupting my class anymore than you already have?" I loved Mrs. Atkins. She was super nice but when class started & it was time to learn, she meant business.
"Of course, Mrs. A. My apologies." Everyone could tell she was just as annoyed with Daniel as Fabian & I were.
I leaned over to Fabian to ask him a question so Daniel wouldn't hear.
"He's not staying in Anubis House, right?" I said through gritted teeth.
"No, we requested, I requested, that we stay in different houses, so he's in Isis or Horus or something." I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright class, today we are going to to be figuring it out who your partners are going to be, go through the syllabus & what we will be doing in my class the semester," Fabian & I looked at each other & mouthed 'partners' to one another. I gave him a smile. Everyone worked together at the table, but each table group had two sets of partners, so that meant Alfie & Daniel would be together.
Mrs. Atkins passed out the syllabus to everyone & we looked over it. Daniel had taken the seat in between Alfie & I, & I noticed that he wouldn't take his eyes off me. I tried to just read through the syllabus & ignore him. Treat everyone with respect...don't disrupt the class...maintain your grade...110% effort on all projects & assignments...
"Now that you all have the syllabus by next week I would like them all returned to me with both your signature & your house mothers."
For some reason, 6th period seemed to go on forever. It might've had something to do with the tension between Fabian & Daniel.
The bell finally rang & I put my notebook & pen in my bag. I grabbed Fabian's hand & basically dragged him out the door & to my locker.
"That was . . . interesting," I said as I put away my English book.
"Yeah . . . " Fabian began, rubbing the back of his neck. "I probably should've warned you & apologized in advance about Daniel." I chuckled a little.
"Don't worry about it. I just can't believe Eddie was going to try to set me up with him."
"Haha, yeah. Wait, what?"
"Oh . . . when football first started Eddie told me about Daniel & just said that I should date him. But he's not my type." Fabian looked relieved when I said that.
We quickly went to Fabian's locker & then I showed him the way to Anubis House.
Fabian for the most part knew where Anubis House was since him & his family had taken a tour of the school earlier this summer.
We walked into the house to see all of our house mates sitting in the Common Room, already changed out of their uniforms.
"Guys, we have a new housemate! This is Fabian Rutter, just in case you didn't already meet him during school today." Everyone gave Fabian a welcoming smile.
Trudy came out of the kitchen with a towel drying her hands.
"Oh! Hello dearie! You must be Fabian. I'm Trudy, the House Mother. It's lovely to meet you!" Trudy shook Fabian's hand after she set her towel down on the dinning room table.
"Nina Martin!" It was Victor's booming voice coming down the stairs & interrupting everything.
"May I ask what the unnecessarily loud voice is all about?"
"I was just introducing Fabian to the house. He's new and-"
"Ah, yes . . . Mr. Sweet told me about Mr. Rutter's arrival. Very well. Just keep the racket down from now on. That goes for all of you vermin children." He said the last part under his breath.
"So . . . Now you've met Victor."
During dinner, I sat at one end of the table as usual, while Joy sat at the other end. Having 10 people living in the house made it really cramped during meal times. Amber was to my left & Fabian was to my right. Next to Fabian was Mick, then Eddie, then Patricia. Joy was in the Middle of Patricia & Mara. Next to Mara was Jerome, then Alfie, & then Amber.
"So my first year here, Joy went 'missing' & Patricia totally blamed me, but it turned out her parents just took her on a secret trip to the Maldives," I was telling Fabian the story about my first day here at Amun.
"My parents took my phone so I couldn't talk to anyone for two weeks!" Joy continued. This was a story we always told the newbies.
"It got even worse though during dinner that night when Patricia ended up dumping the entire water pitcher over my head!" By now, Fabian's eyes were wide open & he couldn't hold in his laughs.
"She also dumped milk on my head not long after I came," Eddie added.
"That's a story for another day," I whispered so only Fabian could hear.
"Should I be worried?" Fabian chuckled as he looked over at Patricia.
"Nah, I only do it to the Americans," Patricia continued to eat the steak Trudy had prepared for us.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, which was odd, because no one usually came to the house this late at night.
"I'll get it," Trudy hurried to the front door while we continued to eat.
"I wonder who that could be?" Mara asked while she filled her cup with more water.
We could hear a faint voice coming from the front door, & Trudy saying, "Well dearie come inside!"
We talked amongst ourselves until Trudy came back into the dinning room with someone who looked very familiar.
"Dearies, this is Fabian's twin brother, Daniel, and he's going to be staying with us for a little bit."
You've got to be kidding me.
Fabian & I exchanged glances. A devious smile spread across Daniel's face as he looked at me & Fabian.
Trudy dismissed the awkward tension & returned to the kitchen.
"What's up, brother? I guess we're gonna be roomies!" Daniel walked over & ruffled Fabian's hair but Fabian quickly moved
his hand away.
"Eddie, my man! Wassup?" Daniel & Eddie exchanged a typical teenage boy handshake, type, thing, while Patricia rolled her eyes at her boyfriend.
"And this slimeball is who you call your friend?" Patricia questioned.
"Come on Trixie, give him a chance, he's cool!"
"Yeah, right," Patricia got up from her seat & went to the kitchen to get something, while Daniel happily took her seat.
"So, how long are you going to be staying with us, Daniel?" Joy put her chin in the palm of her hand & batted her eyelashes. Why am I not surprised.
"A few weeks, tops. And uh, you can call me Danny," He gave her a smirk & a wink & they continued flirting.
Patricia came back with some napkins in her hand, & had the most annoyed look on her face when she saw Danny in her seat.
"What exactly do you think you're doing in my seat, slimeball?"
Before Danny could answer her, she grabbed the pitcher of water from Joy & dumped it all over Daniel. Joy, Mara & Eddie were the only ones who weren't laughing.
"I thought you said you only did that to Americans?" Fabian choked out in between laughs.
"And I only do it to Brits who deserve it," She through the pitcher into Danny's lap & stomped to her room.
Patricia is one sassy little goth pixie, isn't she? I made this chapter a little longer because I have no idea when I'll update again. I start school September 2nd so I want to try to update at least once or twice before then. Once school starts I'll try to update at least once or twice a week, but it might be hard the first couple of weeks since I'll be getting used to the new school year & such. Review & let me know what you thought of this chapter!
