"Okay, what the hell is going on between you two?" Danny asked, exasperated at their behaviour. Danny had been sat on the chair in Anubis house, mindlessly tap tap tapping away on his laptop, whilst Eddie sat on the sofa watching TV. Nina had come downstairs a few hours previous, and after an awkward glance or two, sat down on a chair in the dining room and began texting on her phone. Now Danny had been watching them both sneak quick glances at each other for the past hour, and frankly, it was getting the hell on his nerves.

"None of your business" Eddie muttered, scowling at the TV which only made Danny more eager to pursue the matter more.

"But you see, it is my business because Nina is one of my best friends and I want her to be happy. Now I'm not entirely sure what's going on between you two but this" he gestured between them, "is not working very well. You like her? Swell. She likes you? Even better! So just sort this out" he sighed, shaking his head at the two of them. Sure, he still really, really, really liked Nina but it became very apparent very quickly that she no longer felt the same way about him. But whatever, life goes on, there's plenty of fish in the sea, and he still wanted her to be happy. Even if it was with this knuckle head who couldn't sort it out between themselves.

The silence that hung uncomfortably in the air told Danny that neither Eddie nor Nina were willing to comment on the matter. She liked him? Really?

God knows why.

Eddie and Nina both looked up simultaneously.

"…Did I say that out loud?" Danny's mouth formed a distinguishable 'o', surprised that he'd actually muttered that for people to hear, rather than in the safe place in his head where his thoughts could stay hidden away.

"What do you mean, 'god knows why'?" Eddie's eyes narrowed suspiciously across the room at Danny who sat awkwardly in his chair.

"Nothing, mate" Danny rolled his eyes mockingly at him, before scoffing. He knew he was being rude but he couldn't understand why him, of all people, would be who Nina decided to have a crush on.

"Oh, it was something, mate" Eddie clenched his jaw, standing to face this idiot.

"All I said was God knows why Nina would ever like you" Danny arrogantly looked Eddie up and down, as if proving his point as he also got to his feet to stand in front of Eddie.

Alfie, chose this moment to walk in and on hearing the insult Danny just hurled at Eddie, immediately started reversing out of the room. Literally, reversing.

"BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, DANGER ZONE! DANGER ZONE! DO NOT ENTER THE LIVING ROOM!" Alfie waved his arms around manically, yelling to warn the house about the latest brawl taking place in the living room.

"Alfie, watch it!" Jerome huffed after having a hysterical Alfie crash into him in the hallway.

Alfie continued to blare his alarm throughout the halls as Jerome and Mara strolled into the living room, swinging their arms back and forth playfully. But upon entering and tasting the tension spoiling in the air, walked to the back of the room where Nina stared intensely at the two boys.

"Danny…" Nina shook her head frantically, chewing her lip sensing a fight brewing.

"As opposed to you, Mr I'm so perfect. I suppose you think that you're better suited to Nina" Eddie snorted, he couldn't believe this jerk.

"Actually, yeah, I do" he advanced a step closer to Eddie, challenging him to argue with it.

"Guys, stop, please!" Nina exclaimed, moving further into the living room while Jerome and Mara stood awkwardly in the kitchen, not sure whether to stay or leave.

But both boys couldn't tear their eyes away from each other, choosing to simply ignore Nina. At this point, the front door of Anubis slammed shut announcing the arrival of the other students, arriving back from their walk around campus.

"Well, it doesn't really matter what you think. It's Nina's opinion that we both care about, and I'm afraid, mate, that it's me that she likes" Eddie smirked knowingly, he knew he'd won him there; two things were clear when it came to Nina's feelings. A, she liked Eddie whether she chose to admit it or not. B, she most certainly didn't like Danny, not in that way anyway, clear as day since she'd been avoiding him like the black plague since their last encounter in their game of spin the bottle.

By now, the dining room was filled with uncomfortable students, passing uneasy glances at each other, watching the argument unfold.

"Really? 'Cos it certainly didn't seem that way yesterday, when she turned you down in front of all your friends"

"Okay, first off, you weren't even there. If you were there, you'd realise that the reason she 'turned me down' and the only reason, was because she didn't and still doesn't want to hurt a friend. Because that's the type of sweet, wonderful, compassionate girl she is. Which you would know if you knew her well enough"

"You think you know her better than I do? We've been best friends since preschool, heck, we even dated way before she ever met you"

"And how did that relationship end? She dump you?"

"You think you're so clever"

"Really?"

"Really"

"ENOUGH! That's it, I just can't deal with you two! Your argument is so petty and annoying, you really think that this is going to win Nina over? Numpty one and numpty two squabbling like three year olds? You're so wrapped up in your own teeny tiny boy brains, you didn't even realise that Nina left!" Danielle shrieked at the two, having had quite enough of their ridiculous quarrel.

Both boys looked around, eyes widening in shock and bewilderment that they'd managed to miss her swift escape.

"Yeah, that's right morons. She left!" she rolled her eyes at the idiots before marching up the stairs to lie down in her make shift bed in the corner of Nina and Amber's room.

"Seriously boys, you really don't understand women" Amber remarked, flipping her hair over her shoulder before grasping Alfie's hand and prancing out of the room with Mara and Jerome in tow. Fabian, Joy, Patricia and Mick simply walked into the boys' room where they planned to watch a film and Jess and Zack followed Danielle up the stairs. That left Eddie and Danny to glower at each other in silence for the remainder of the night. How fun.
