Alright, I made it on time today! This is kind of an Amfie/Peddie chapter with hints of Fabina. Oh, but Chapter 12 will be ALL Fabina! This chapter is dedicated to Violinrocker12 because she has been sending me PMs and her reviews are always uplifting. Thanks Violinrocker12! See you at the bottom my readers! Oh, and by the way, I don't own House of Anubis, its characters, or its setting. I only own this plot of this story. Onwards as they say!
Chapter 11
Nina's P.O.V.
Even if Gran hadn't begged me, I would have decided that staying at the house all summer was a bad idea. Especially with You-Know-Who around, confusing me with his liking two girls at the same time. I know that everyone's going to beg me to stay all summer because we're going to have so much fun, that America is dull compared to England, that everyone would just die if I didn't stay. But the thing is, Gran is alone most of her time. Of course she hangs out with her friends more often, but her little house is filled with silence nowadays, not a bubbly teen. And she misses it. Unfortunately, she wants me to stay for half of the summer here because she is going on a sightseeing trip with a bunch of her friends. Somehow those retired old ladies saved up enough money to do a sightseeing trip in Europe!
A yell knocked me out of my thoughts as I put down the book I was pretending to read on the couch and turned around to see what the commotion was.
"No way! There's absolutely no way Alfie!" I managed to decipher out of all that squealing.
"What happened?" I asked, and Amber swished around, beaming that 1000-watt smile my way.
"Alfie got me tickets to go see a fashion show this weekend! Isn't it absolutely amazing? Anyone who's anyone will be there! Oh Alfie, I positively love you!" Amber rambled, her voice getting louder and louder.
"Is someone hurt? Do I need to call 911?" Mick huffed, rushing in with the rest of the startled Anubis House behind him.
"Amber, are you alright?"
"I knew someone was screaming, Jerome!"
"What is going on?"
"I don't see any blood. Why was there such a commotion?"
There was a silence as everyone ran out of questions to ask. I scanned the worried faces of everyone in the common room. I had thought the whole house was behind Mick, but my laser beam eyes couldn't fail to miss that Fabian was not among the masses.
"Alfie got me tickets to only the most amazing fashion show in the country!" Amber bubbled.
A sigh of relief passed over everyone, and I couldn't help but giggle a little. Amber could make the biggest deal out of anything.
Oh my gosh. Holy cows with halos. Not only was Fabian missing, but Joy seemed to have disappeared as well. Wonder what they were doing? Actually, I don't think I want to know the answer to that question.
"That reminds me. Mara, do you want to go to town this weekend? I heard there's a new fancy schmancy restaurant opening and I'm sure my dad can get us tickets in," Mick said, breaking the silence.
"I'd love to! Do you really think-"
Her voice trailed off as everyone went back to whatever they were doing before the outbreak.
"Hey, wait a minute guys!" I shouted as the crowd dispersed. Immediately everyone crammed back through the doorway from the hall to the kitchen.
"Want me to go rent the first Harry Potter movie for tonight?" I questioned completely off-topic.
"Oh yeah, we almost forgot! Yes please!" a voice that had not been in the room earlier blurted out.
Fabian.
He walked in, somehow managing to stay cool. His hair was a little ruffled, but no more than usual. But I couldn't help but notice a faint pink splashed across his cheeks. Was he nervous about being around me? Probably not. He's always nervous about something, poor thing. No, wait, no pity. No pity for the guy who leaves his best friend for his other best friend. Isn't that, like, favoritism?
"Awesome. I'll leave now," I replied with a monotonous voice.
"Want me to come with-" he began innocently enough, but I was done with drama for today.
"No," I answered a little quickly and sharply, "I can do it by myself."
He looked a little down, but for once I didn't care. Let him go run to his little girlfriend and tell her about his problems. I'm sure Joy would understand everything he's going through and be very sympathetic. Mostly likely they'll kiss, forget about it, and watch the movie hand in hand.
Just watch.
Eddie's P.O.V.
I don't really understand what just happened. One minute I was sitting, eating, trying to make some friends, and Patricia Williamson comes butting in. Now, I'm dripping wet and cold, not to mention completely humiliated. I bet all the house residents think I'm some sort of weak newbie that can't even protect himself from a girl.
After grabbing a pair of clothes from my still-packed suitcase, I walked- well, more like dripped- over to the boy's bathroom. Nope, not the boys bathroom. Another bedroom. I turned around and heard a scream.
I completely disregarded the scream and kept walking-again, I think the word we're looking for here is dripping- over to the other door that wasn't my room.
"Watch it! Aw, now look what you've done! Gotten my shirt all wet!" a familiar voice rattled on.
"And this was a new shirt too! My mother got for me while she was travelling and-"
"Hold the tongue Blabs. Or should I call you Yacker? Yacker sounds better," I taunted almost asking for another fight. "Oh, and wasn't it your water jug that got my hair wet in the first place?"
Patricia just sneered and said, "Before you start pushing the blame off on other people, you should really get a better list of nicknames. Or better yet, just don't speak to me!"
She pushed my clothes out of my hands and stormed off, red hair swishing past me.
I walked into the boy's bathroom, still trying to wipe the genuine smile I had off my face.
Patricia was going to be the life and death of me.
Alfie's P.O.V.
I didn't really expect the whole house to know about those tickets, but the Amber hugs I kept getting afterwards were totally worth it. My parents just happened to get two tickets and I just happened to tell them that I'm dating a girl who would absolutely love to go to the show. Naturally, they wanted me to look impressive, so they gave me the tickets.
Man, the joys of amazeball parents.
"I still can't imagine how much those tickets cost, Alfie. You spent all the money, for me? No one has ever done that! Ever!" Amber babbled, almost drooling over the tickets.
"Anything for Amber Millington! The one and only!" I replied with an accent reserved for haughty people. I am good.
The moment would have been perfect if the front door hadn't slammed closed in a most un-romantic way and loud voices could be heard from outside the house. I could tell who it was, and I kind of knew it was going to be those two anyway. Personally, I think fate does this to Amfie just to test us.
I really hoped that this fight would be the one to end the feud between Fabian and Nina. Hadn't they been fighting all day?
Ok readers, that wraps up Chapter 11! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review! I'm asking for 6 REVIEWS BEFORE THE NEXT UPDATE! I repeat...6! It's a compromise; I want 7, you want 5, so 6 is a happy compromise. Because I am being more strict about reviews, I will not post Chapter 12 until I get 6 reviews. If you love Fabina, review! First reviewers and really complimentary reviewers get the Fabina chapter dedicated to them! 6!
