I'm back!

Sorry for the wait, I've been busy with finishing the school year and writing my story on Wattpad. And I had completely forgotten about this story until a few days ago when people started asking when the next chapter would be up. Also, I updated the book cover. What do ya' think?

Nina's POV

I stared blankly at the white board in class, finding myself extremely bored. Mr. Sweet was going on and on about how cells reproduce and I had listened to that many times before, causing me to zone out.

I was thinking about the chasm, and how we could get the bridge to make it to the other end. It was far too heavy, and with just Fabian, Amber, and I, we were sure to make it fall. Maybe they're right. Maybe we should bring Patricia and Alfie in. We could really do with the help.

Oh what are you saying Nina?! You can't bring them into this! Have you forgotten about the mark and the ghost woman?

A loud ringing brought me out of my thoughts and back to the class. I saw everyone around me packing their things into their bags so I started doing the same.

I absentmindly walked out of the room without bothering to wait for anyone. I was so tired and had the worst headache. I walked over to my locker and grabbed my blazer, pulling it out and putting the lock on it.

"I can't wait for Monday!" Amber says happily as she stands in front of me.

"Why? What's Monday?" I ask.

She chuckles and shakes her head. "I knew you weren't paying attention in class! You looked like you were daydreaming about the most boring thing ever. Daddy told me that if you want to quit daydreaming, you have to-"

"Uh, Amber." I interupt. "You're getting off topic. What's Monday?"

"Right! Mr. Sweet said he was bringing the drama club back! And with it, Jason!" She says excitedly.

"He's still alive?" I question. "But Patricia said he had some deadly disease?"

"Apparently they found a cure for whatever he had. And it's not the elixir."

"Oh?" I say. "Do you still have a crush on him?" I ask.

"Well obviously. He's the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on!" She says as we start walking towards the schools exit.

"What about you're boyfriend?"

She shrugs. "Alfie's cute, but I wouldn't exactly say he's fit."

"You're such a sweet girlfriend." I say, patting her shoulder.

She smiles. "Speaking of girlfriend, when are you going to end things with Eddie?"

"I'm not."

"Nina! You and I both know you can't be together!" She exclaims. "Eddie is so mean, and rude, and has disgusting eating habbits! And Fabes, well, he loves you. He's your best friend Nina, he was your first friend here, and he has stuck by your side through everything."

I sigh and rub my hand through my hair. "Amber, Fabian and I are over. I don't like him like that anymore. And I'm sure he's gotten over me as well. I'm happy with Eddie."

"But, Fabina!" She cries.

"Is finished."

She sighs. "Until you get back together. But until then, are you going to tell Eddie about Sibuna?"

I shake my head. "Of course not."

"Nina, have you learned nothing from the past?" She asks. "I just went over this with you last night. Last year, during the first mystery, I had kept the whole thing a secret from Mick. Things just go so piled on and I couldn't think of anymore lies, so he broke up with me. If you don't tell Eddie, he may break up with you." She widens her eyes. "Nevermind! Don't tell him!"

"Why are you so against us dating?"

"Because I spent so long trying to get you and Fabes together. I loved you guys together. You were the cute, awkward couple. Fabina is always going to be my main ship. I'm happy for you and Eddie, really I am, but I just wish and Fabian would give it another go."

"We're not going to." I say. "I'm happy with Eddie. Maybe this will give Fabian and Joy a chance."

Amber widens her eyes. "Over my dead body!" She screams. "The day Fabian dates Joy is the day I stab pins into my eyes!"

I laugh and shake my head. "Alright, calm down. I'm not saying they will."

"They'd better not!"

...

I was sitting on my bed watching a video that Ellie, my best friend in America, sent me. It was her two year old sister yelling at their dog Bruno everytime he tried to go near her.

I felt someone move next to me and I looked over to see Eddie. "Hi." I smile.

"Hey. What're you watching?"

"My friends little sister. She's so cute!" I grin, pausing the video and closing my laptop. "What's up?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go out and get dinner with me? There's still six hours until light out, so we should be able to make it if we leave soon."

I nod. "I'd love to."

"Great." He smiles. "I'll leave you to get ready, and call a taxi."

"Okay." I kiss his cheek and he gets up and leaves the room.

I change out of my sweats and into some black skinny jeans, and a long white off shoulder white sweater that goes down to my knees. I put on some white boots and brush through my hair before going downstairs.

Once the taxi gets here Eddie and I get in and he tells the driver where to go. Meanwhile, Amber's words keep echoing though my mind.

"Have you learned nothing from the past? If you don't tell Eddie, he make break up with you." She says in my head.

It keeps repeating and I come to think she's right.

I have to tell Eddie.
