House of Dreams
Nina was sitting in Sally's classroom alone when the door opened and Sarah walked in.
"Sarah!" cried Nina.
"Hello Nina," smiled Sarah.
Nina got up from her desk and hugged Sarah. She began to cry when seeing Sarah, though she knew she was at peace now Nina was still sad about her death. Nina missed her.
"You've been forgetting something Nina," said Sarah and before Nina could reply Sarah took her hand and led her to the drama studio.
They stood by the stage but Nina was still confused as to why they were there, then Sarah opened the compartment under the stage and nothing was there.
"The cup!" cried Nina, "Where is it?"
Sarah said, "Good luck Nina, you have a lot of challenges ahead of you but I believe in you."
"Sarah…" began Nina but slowly she was fading away then Nina woke up and began to cry.
HOAHOAHOA
Nina arrived at school before anybody else and went straight to the drama room, she opened the stage and the cup was still there. After pausing for a moment to take in how relieved she felt she put she cup in her bag and went to see Sally.
"Miss Holmes?" said Nina knocking on the teacher's door.
Sally opened the door for her and asked, "Are you ok Nina?"
Nina stepped into the room and nodded then she opened her bag and said, "Last night I had a dream about Sarah telling me I should make sure the cup is safe, I thought maybe you could look after it."
Sally stood in shock for a moment then took the cup and examined it. Finally she turned back to Nina and said, "I'll keep it in my desk for today, it has a lock and no one will go in it then I'll move it somewhere very secure."
"Ok," said Nina, "Oh and I found the next scroll." Nina only just remembered this herself; she reached into her bag and pulled it out. "I haven't opened it yet," she informed, "I was too freaked out about the dream."
"Understandable," replied Sally, "So let's open it!"
Nina couldn't help but smile at her excited nature, she wasn't like any teacher she'd ever had before- obviously.
"It says…" began Nina, "Kiss of trust."
"Kiss?" said Sally and Nina nodded, Sally commented, "That sounds ridiculous."
Nina nodded and giggled slightly.
Sally grinned, "Well tell the others about this and come back at lunch so we can have a meeting or something."
"Ok," agreed Nina, "See you later Miss."
"Sally, call me Sally," she smiled, "But not when I'm teaching you, that would be weird."
"Ok," repeated Nina, "Bye Sally."
Sally smiled, "See you later Nina, well done by the way."
"Thanks," she grinned.
Nina returned to the house, she really had woken up very early, no one was up so she went to make herself breakfast and decide what to do next.
Eventually others started to come in and tease Nina about being such a weirdo and waking up before sunrise. No one asked questions or seemed suspicious of her.
Fabian sat down next to her and asked, "Have a good sleep?"
"Not really," she answered and then filled him in on everything that had happened last night and this morning.
"Kiss of trust?" he asked, "That does sound corny."
Nina laughed and said, "I know." She gave him a smile
He leant it to kiss her because he was reminded about how much he wanted to while talking about kissing.
Everyone on the table reacted with groans and shouts of "get a room".
"Not in front of me please?" begged Zach which made Danielle laugh.
Nina replied, "Oh, go kiss Danielle."
Danielle looked up with her mouth full of toast and started laughing again which made Zach, Nina and Fabian join in.
"I'm good," she grinned.
Amber suddenly stood up and said, "Surprisingly everyone is here this morning so I wanted to remind everyone of the schools Halloween plans, remember there's a Halloween party on Sunday and the house with the best costumes wins a prize so everyone better dress up or else! I'm going shopping with Alyson on Friday if anyone wants to come. And on the Monday night, which is actually Halloween, we're all going trick or treating!"
There wasn't a person in the room that wasn't excited about Halloween, everyone loved holidays which made them feel like little kids- well maybe everyone except Jerome, it wasn't really in his nature.
With Amber completely focused on Halloween no one thought she'd be able to focus on match making as well but pinned up to their bedroom wall was a piece of paper entitled 'Amber's Love List'.
Amber's Love List
Together
Fabian + Nina
Patricia + Jerome
Zach + Danielle
Josie + Cole
Almost Together
Hailey + Craig
Mick + Catty
Skylar + Alfie
Possibilities
Amber + Logan
Mara + Danny
Joy + Josh
The mystery was the last thing on her mind at the moment but she dutifully came to the lunch meeting anyway, it wasn't particularly long.
At the meeting Nina informed Sibuna of her dream, her finding the locket and of what the locket said.
"So what do we do now?" asked Patricia.
"Figure out what to do next," answered Sally, "How to get the next scroll."
Alfie cooed, "Someone has to kiss."
"You are so immature," said Amber rolling her eyes.
Catty said, "Well if anyone's going to kiss it should be Fabina."
"I think they've kissed enough times," commented Joy which made thing slightly awkward.
Fabian said, "Yeah, uh, we've kissed before."
Joy grinned, "It's a kiss of trust, maybe you guys just don't trust each other."
Amber and Nina exchanged looks and Patricia whispered to Joy that she making herself look like an idiot which made Joy glare angrily at her best friend.
"I don't think that's the issue," said Sally finally breaking the silence, "Just think about it, that's how you guys usually work things out."
HOAHOAHOA
Danielle was taking a look at 'Amber's Love List' after school that day when Amber walked in.
"What's up Danielle?" asked Amber.
Danielle replied, "What's going on with you and Logan?"
"Nothing," frowned Amber, "I mean… yeah, nothing."
They were quiet for a moment then Danielle gave Amber a smile and said, "These things take time, look at me and Zach."
This made Amber feel slightly better but then she said, "Maybe he just doesn't like me, I basically told him if he asked me out I'd say yes and he hasn't done anything about it."
"He's probably shy or something," insisted Danielle, "It's not you, it's him."
Amber laughed but didn't look convinced.
"I'll talk to Catty about it, they're really close," said Danielle finally, feeling bad for Amber who spent so much time trying to make everyone else happy but wasn't happy herself.
She nodded at her and forced a smile on to her face, she asked, "So how are things with you and Zach?"
With anyone else she would've given her usually "fine" or even "great" because she wasn't really lying, things were great but... Amber had been so honest with her Danielle felt she had to say what was on her mind.
"They're ok, I really like him, I'm just not sure he likes me as much as I like him," confessed Danielle.
Amber smiled and began to prattle off a list of reasons why Zach was madly in love with Danielle which made them both feel better.
HOAHOAHOA
After talking to Danielle that afternoon Catty felt compelled to talk to Logan, it wasn't just to find out about Amber, she missed talking to her friend now she seemed to be spending all her time with Mick instead.
She forced him to go for a walk with her.
"A walk," grinned Logan, "You're turning into Nina or something. Isn't this what couples do?"
Catty rolled her eyes and laughed. She said, "Speaking of couples, I thought you liked Amber."
"Amber?" repeated Logan, "Uh, yeah, I do, I just..." he trailed.
Catty said, "You just what Logie?"
He paused, stared at his friend and then admitted, "She seems pretty high maintenance."
This made Catty laugh- she was Amber, of course she was high maintenance.
"What?" demanded Logan nervously.
"What else would Amber be?" asked Catty, "So that's it? She's high maintenance? You sound like such a twat, you know that don't you?"
Logan glared at her and argued, "Well why hasn't Mick asked you out?"
"Why would he?" snapped Catty, "Anyway, stop trying to change the subject."
Logan sighed and said, "I'm just a bit nervous, I don't really know what to do."
"So you want to go out with her?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied instantly.
"Then what's the problem?" wondered Catty.
Logan repeated, "I'm nervous."
"Talk to Alyson then," suggested Catty, relationship talks really were not her thing and she was beginning to get a bit bored.
Logan agreed that talking to Alyson would probably be the best idea.
HOAHOAHOA
Jealously was not something Patricia was used to feeling, she often felt angry or annoyed or frustrated or sometimes she even felt happy. This is why she was finding it hard to understand her best friends' actions and emotions.
"What was that about earlier?" asked Patricia when she and Joy were alone in their room later that night.
"What?" asked Joy innocently looking up from the book she was reading.
"You were being weird about Nina and Fabian," she replied, then paused to examine Joy further, she added, "What book are you reading?"
Joy held it up to her.
"Fabian's nerdy science book?" exclaimed Patricia, "Ok, something's wrong."
"Look, you're my best friend Patricia but you aren't very supportive, didn't you ever think now that you're spending all your time with Jerome I might get a bit lonely," said Joy bitterly.
Patricia was quiet for a moment, staring at Joy, and then she snapped, "So you're trying to steal Nina's boyfriend?"
"Technically she stole mine first," protested Joy.
"No, she didn't," said Patricia confused.
Joy glared at her best friend and cried, "If I hadn't gone away we'd be together instead of him and her."
"No, you wouldn't," said Patricia enjoying herself just slightly.
"We would!" insisted Joy.
Patricia rolled her eyes and said, "Joy, I love you but this is insane, he's Nina's, they love each other, move on."
"It's easy for you to say, you're happy, you have Jerome," snarled Joy feeling quite angry at her best friend who she thought out of everyone would support her or even be slightly sympathetic.
"Because me and Jerome are right for each other, you and Fabian aren't, it's him and Nina, you deserve someone who likes you for you, not someone you have to force to like you Joy, you're better than this," insisted Patricia.
Patricia was in a dilemma, she completely supported Fabina but she didn't want to lose her best friend after only just getting her back.
Despite her kind words Joy made a "humph" noise and stormed out.
"She'll get over it," mumbled Patricia to herself hopefully, she was quite worried about the situation.
I really didn't know how to end this chapter, it felt like it could just drag on forever but I really enjoyed writing it.
If you're wondering Nina's dream wasn't magical, Sarah didn't really appear to her, it was just Nina's subconcious reminding her of her mission and stuff.
And I'm planning on bringing more Joy drama into it again soon, she kind of calmed down after the talent show but I really want her to go crazy with it. So tell me what you think of that idea.
Lastly. QUESTION TIME: What couples should get together next? (look at Amber's love list for all the possibilities)
Thanks for reading and please review.
