6 reviews for the last chapter, I'm perfectly happy with that but would've loved more, reviews make my day and really help me to write quicker.

Thanks to Sydney, Cali, applesngrapes, Skylar, Danny and scotskyhawks1999 for reviewing, I really appreciate it. Special mention for Hannah who PM's because she can't review.

Not happy with this chapter- it isn't that interesting. I will try to update again this weekend but I'm suffering with mild writers block and it sucks. Going to Paris on Monday and will be back Friday afternoon so hopefully next update after the one this weekend will be about then.

Disclaimer: I do not own house of Anubis, if I did Jerome wouldn't be so mean to Alfie, Alfie's adorable.

House of Laziness and Lateness

"I'm gonna take a quick shower before we set off," said Danny.

Mick smiled, "Ok, I'll just spray myself with deodorant and grab something to eat now. I'll wait for you in here."

"Ok," said Danny heading to their room.

Catty sat alone at the table with her head in her hands, she didn't cry, she never cried but she did look very upset and stressed.

"Hey, are you ok?" asked Mick coming out of the kitchen with a big plate of food and sitting down next to her ignoring the fact that that wasn't his seat.

Catty replied, "I'm fine, have you seen Logan?"

"No, why?" asked Mick.

"He's my best guy friend and I need to talk to him," answered Catty.

Mick said, "You can talk to me, I'm a good listener when I've got food in front of me. I won't talk and interrupt with stupid things."

"Tempting offer," laughed Catty and she had no idea why but she started to tell him, about the locket, about the lockets, about the woman who was looking for Nina, about everyone's suspicious behaviour but not about the shaking, that was just too weird.

Mick listened attentively; he wasn't a bad listener at all.

"Coming upstairs to find Josie?" asked Josh.

Josh and Josie were really close, they're names are similar which makes them seem likes twins and they act very similar too. They'd been neighbours all their lives and had grown up together. No one thought them spending a lot of time around each other was weird.

"Sure," replied Logan grabbing his bag.

They went upstairs to find her, Catty was downstairs and Patricia was at school already but Joy and Josie were in their room.

"Knock, knock," grinned Josh and they both yelled to come in, "Hey guys, ready to go?"

Logan was about to follow him when another door opened, Amber and Alyson stepped out, both looking stunning even in school uniform. Logan smiled at Amber stupidly, he thought she was pretty but he really didn't know that much about her.

"Hi," grinned Amber with a bubbly smile. She looked Logan up and down, she hadn't really noticed him yesterday but he was pretty cute, not her usual type but that had never worked before.

"Hey ," replied Logan, "You two wanna walk to school with us?"

Joy and Josie were standing behind Logan with their bags slung over their shoulders.

"Sure," grinned Amber and she gave Alyson a secret smile and followed Logan down the corridor.

Alyson grinned knowing exactly what Amber was thinking.

"You two ready to go?" asked Logan who walked in to Mick and Catty talking, Catty looked a lot less worried now and was actually smiling at a story Mick was telling her.

"Just waiting for Danny," replied Mick.

Logan nodded and raised his eyebrows at Catty.

She rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm here!" yelled Danny, his hair was wet but he was dressed and had his school bag- that was ready enough for him.

"Then let's go," smiled Catty getting up and everyone walked out. Catty was at the back and Logan, distracted as he was by Amber, couldn't fail to see that she looked upset or at least like she was trying too hard to look happy and lingered at the back to talk to her.

"What's up?" he asked.

Catty answered, "Me and Nina are arguing."

"We've only been here a day and you've already managed to piss someone off," teased Logan but Catty just seemed annoyed by that and he said, "Sorry, just teasing, what's going on? You and Nina never argue."

Catty sighed, "It's a long story I already told Mick, I'll tell you later."

"Ok," said Logan unsure of how he felt after that.

"They're gonna be late," said Hailey staring at the clock.

She was sitting in the classroom next to Mara and Skylar. They'd gotten rid of the desks and just had long tables now so they could fit the extra class members in.

"They've got..." Mara began and looked up at the clock, "30 seconds. Yeah, they're gonna be late."

They laughed and Hailey grinned, "Great way to start the year."

"Typical of Amber and Mick," commented Mara with a smile, Mick was always eating or exercising and Amber was always doing her make- up, they were always late.

"Typical of my friends too," grinned Hailey, "They're a bunch of lazy trouble makers."

"Zach and Danielle aren't like that though," commented Mara.

Mara was sitting on the second row behind Zach and Hailey was sitting behind Danielle, Nina was next to her and then Fabian. Skylar was sitting next to Hailey and Patricia next to her. Alfie was behind Skylar and Jerome behind Patricia. Amber was next to Mara and Alyson next to her.

"They're adorable," smiled Hailey.

The others all tumbled in.

Josh went to sit next to Alfie and Josie sat next to him. Logan sat next to Jerome. Joy wavered, looking at the empty spot next to Fabian but decided to sit next to Patricia and Catty sat next to her. Danny winked at Zach and sat next to Fabian, Mick sat next to him.

Mr Winkler began talking to the class and asking the names of the new students when two boys tumbled into class.

They apologised for being late, they were pretty cute, Mr Winkler just rolled his eyes and told them to sit down.

There were only two seats left, one next to Alyson and one next to Logan.

The first boy took one look at Alyson and couldn't get to the chair fast enough; the other guy just shrugged and took his place next to Logan.

I know, boring, but it set up some things that will happen later and it wasn't too long.

Please review and just say "not best chapter" reviews make me smile whatever they contain, I love feedback.

I introduced the new guy characters but I don't know who they are since only one boy was submitted. Please, I can make some but it's more fun to write for people. These characters are to be paired with Hailey, Alyson or Josie.

Here's the format again-

Your name/ nickname:
