A Day in Anubis House

Alfie ran into the common room, his eyes wild. Everyone looked up at him, curious and a bit concerned. The last time Alfie had gotten like this, his bed had 'mysteriously' caught fire. Everyone knew that he had caused it, but no one had proof, so he didn't get blamed for it. But this time it wasn't a fire that had Alfie worked up. No, it was something that he absolutely hated.

"There's a snake in my room!" Alfie yelled, gesturing wildly back to his room. Jerome rolled his eyes. Alfie must've found Jerome's science project. He had to raise a snake and give it to the teacher at the end of the term. If it wasn't healthy, then he failed. And if Alfie killed it, he really failed.

"It's my project," Jerome explained quickly. "Don't kill it."

Alfie glared at him. "I am not rooming with a snake. I hate snakes!"

Alfie rushed out of the room, muttering about finding a frying pan to kill the snake with, and Jerome ran after him, telling him he couldn't kill the snake. After that fiasco, everyone went back to their conversations. Patricia and Eddie were talking about their disaster of a date last night.

"So I'm not a great cook," Patricia growled. "At least it was food!"

"That was not food," Eddie stated. "Pancakes are food. Whatever you made wasn't food."

Patricia bristled. "It was too food," she snarled. "I spent at least an hour on dinner!"

Eddie smirked. "You sound like a housewife."

That was the wrong thing to say to Patricia. She slapped him upside the head before stomping out of the room in a huff. Everyone turned to watch her go, wondering just what Eddie had said to her, while Eddie was wondering why Patricia had hit him. That hurt. While Eddie got up to figure out how to apologize to Patricia, Fabian and Nina went back to their conversation about their hobbies.

"So what was it you do again?" Nin asked, curious as to what Fabian liked to do.

Fabian smiled shyly. "I write something called fanfiction. It's where you take the characters of your favorite shows or movies and write a story with them. I write a lot of stuff for Doctor Who."

"Huh," Nina said. She'd never heard of fanfiction, but she was curious about what Fabian had written. "Can I read it?"

Fabian flushed a deep shade of red. "I actually haven't had anyone read my writing before."

Nina smiled. "I won't laugh, I promise. Besides, it's probably really good, seeing as you wrote it."

Fabian didn't agree with her, but he got up and led Nina to his room anyway. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad. The few people remaining in the room watched them leave before continuing their discussions. Mara and Joy were talking about their outfits for the upcoming dance.

"I'm thinking of a knee length black dress with boots," Joy said.

Mara nodded. "That would look pretty on you. I was thinking about getting a sleeveless purple dress with a hole cut out of the back."

Joy grinned. "That would look good on you. Hey, let's see if Trudy will let us go shopping this afternoon."

Mara agreed and both girls left the common room in search of the housemother. The one remaining person watched them go, wondering why everyone kept leaving until she decided it didn't matter. Amber turned back to her phone and played Angry Birds.

While Amber was playing her game, the clock in the corridor chimed twelve. That meant it was lunch time. Everyone put aside their goals for the day –killing a snake, apologizing, reading, or shopping –to have lunch.

Trudy set the dishes down in front of the nine students and watched them dig in happily. She heard snippets of conversation, but nothing really made sense to the housemother. Once everyone was done eating, Trudy surprised the residents with their favorite dessert: chocolate cake.

"Thanks Trudy!" Alfie said excitedly, forgetting all about the snake in his room.

After everyone had at least one slice of cake –though Alfie, Jerome, and Eddie had two –all nine of the residents went their separate ways, back to what they had been doing right before lunch.

Jerome managed to stop Alfie from killing his science project –though Alfie complained about it for the rest of the day –, Eddie managed to apologize to Patricia –who hit him once more for good measure –, Nina read Fabian's story –which was actually pretty good, though he didn't believe her –, Mara and Joy got permission to go to town so they could find their outfits –they were so happy they managed to find exactly what they had been looking for –, and Amber sat back down on the couch and played Angry Birds until lights out.

All in all, it was a normal day in Anubis House.

This wasn't the exact order they were in the story, but it was the order they were prompted to me in. Now, I've got an announcement for you guys. This story will only be forty chapters long. Once I get to chapter fifty, I'm ending Anubis Antics. I'm sorry that it's only eleven chapters away, but I'm just getting a bit tired of working on this. I just thought you guys might like a warning. Thanks for reading!
