House of Boyfriends:
Fabian was in the hospital and was angry because Ryan was with Nina.
"Nina," said Fabian, as he wanted to walk into the room.
"No, this really isn't the time right now," said the nurse, as she held Fabian.
Ryan got up and walked out of the room. The nurse had to held Fabian back.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Fabian.
"Sssh, take it easy," said Ryan.
"What are you doing here? Asked Fabian," again.
"You can see that right, I'm supporting my girlfriend," said Ryan.
"Your girlfriend?" Asked Fabian.
"I think it's really nice of you to come by Fabian, but I think it's better if you go now. Nina really needs her rest right now," said Ryan.
"Oh yeah," said Fabian, as he crossed his arms.
"Yes, maybe you can come back tomorrow? If she's slept a little, she can probably have more visitors, right nurse?" Said Ryan.
"Yes, that's right. Now go on your way," said the nurse.
The nurse let go of Fabian. Fabian threw the flowers on the floor and walked away angrily. With a smug smile on his face, Ryan walked back into Nina's room.
In the meantime in the house. Trudy was doing another of her rituals. Victor saw what Trudy was doing.
"What are you doing?" Asked Victor.
"I'm busy driving the spirit away from this house," said Trudy.
"Not this again," said Victor.
"It must be done, because the spirit is still here," said Trudy.
"Who's spirit?" Asked Victor.
"I think it's the spirit of Robert Frobisher-Smythe," said Trudy.
"Do you really think so? Asked Victor," sarcastically.
"Yes, I must be him. It makes to most sense," said Trudy.
"Do you know what I think?" Asked Victor.
"No I don't," said Trudy.
"That you're ready for the mental institution. You're really losing it," said Victor.
"But Victor," said Trudy.
"I thought you were doing better now that son of yours is here, but I was wrong," said Victor.
"But," said Trudy.
"Unless the spirit of yours is going to clean the bathroom, I suggest you do it, because that's your job after all , said Victor.
Victor walked to his office. Trudy went to the bathroom to clean.
A few moments later at the school. Otis walked into the boys' bathroom. Otis was whistling a song.
"Otis is that you?" Asked Jerome.
"Jerome?" Asked Otis.
"Yes," said Jerome.
"Wait, where are you?" Asked Otis
"In here," said Jerome.
Jerome came out of the toilet stall.
"Why are you hiding in the boys' bathroom during the middle of the school day?" Asked Otis.
"I'm not hiding," said Jerome.
"Then why weren't you the class?" Asked Otis.
"Which class are you talking about?" Asked Jerome.
"The ones you skipped for the first half of the day," said Otis.
"I can't say it," said Jerome.
"Come on. It's me Otis, I'm one of your best friends. We don't have a secret from each other," said Otis.
"Okay I will.., said Jerome.
Jerome didn't finish his sentence because he saw Mr. Griffin come in. Mr. Griffin walked up to the two boys
"Jerome, Otis, said Mr. Griffin.
"Mr. Griffin, said Otis.
Why weren't you in my class Jerome? Asked Mr. Griffin.
"I had my reasons, said Jerome.
"What is your reason? Asked Mr. Griffin.
"Wasn't feeling like it," said Jerome.
"I hope it's nothing bad. Because I don't anything bad happing to you, just like what happened to Nina," said Mr. Griffin.
Mr. Griffin's words got Jerome thinking. Was to one Mr. Griffin behind Nina's accident.
"Come on Otis, we're going," said Jerome.
"Where to?" Asked Otis.
"Let's just get out of here," said Jerome.
Jerome and Otis left the bathroom.
In the meantime. Amber, Patricia and Joy were in the drama room and were reading another letter from the secret admirer
"How romantic," said Amber.
"I know and this is already the fifth letter that has written to me," said Joy.
"Not to you, but to Dear Delilah," said Amber.
"He's talking about a girl from junior year," said Joy.
"Hello, I'm a junior," said Amber.
"Forget it, Amber. A boy who writes such romantic letters isn't interested in types like you," said Joy.
"Why not? I'm one of the most popular girls in the school," said Amber.
"I don't get this whole love letter thing. If he's so in love with that girl, why doesn't he just say it," said Patricia.
"Maybe he's afraid she doesn't feel the same for him," said Joy.
"I still think it's kind of stupid," said Patricia.
"What are you going to do with those love letters anyway?" Asked Amber.
"I'm going to try to find out who writes them," said Joy.
"I thought you came up with this whole plan so everyone could stay anonymous," said Patricia.
Joy didn't listen to Patricia and was determined to find out who the secret admirer was.
At the same time. Aaron and Alfie were also in the drama room. Fabian entered the drama room and joined Aaron and Alfie.
"Hey dude," said Alfie.
"What's up with you?" Asked Aaron, as noticed that Fabian did not look happy.
"I've just went to the hospital to see Nina, but I was not allowed to see to her," said Fabian.
"Isn't she doing okay?" Asked Aaron.
"She's doing better, but her boyfriend was already there," said Fabian.
"But dude you're her boyfriend," said Alfie.
"Not two weeks ago, I wasn't. That's the last thing Nina can remember," said Fabian.
"I still don't get it, said Alfie.
"Ryan! Ryan is with her," said Fabian
"What?" Asked Alfie.
"Ryan?" Asked Aaron.
"Yes," Ryan, said Fabian.
"Wow that's so low. Taking advantage of someone who has amnesia," said Aaron.
"Sorry dude," said Alfie.
"Wait a second! But you still have that letter," said Aaron.
"What letter?" Asked Fabian.
"The one Nina wrote to you and gave to you in the bus," said Aaron.
"Yes, that letter! If Nina reads it! I'm going to get it right away," said Fabian.
Fabian got up and ran out of the drama room to look for the letter.
In the meantime. Jerome stood by his locker and Mara walked over to him.
"Where were you?" Asked Mara.
"Here at school," said Jerome.
"I mean during the classes," said Mara.
"I didn't feel like it," said Jerome.
"So you decide to skip them all?" Asked Mara.
"Yes," said Jerome.
"And history too," said Mara.
"If I wasn't there, then you know the answer," said Jerome.
"Why would you skip it? History is your best subject and you really got along with Mr. Griffin," said Mara.
"What is the use of history class anyway? All of it has already happened, I'd rather focus on the future, said Jerome.
"What's up with you? Asked Mara.
"I just didn't feel like school today, that's all, said Jerome.
Mara was about to say something, but Poppy came walking up to them.
"There you are, I've been looking for you all day," said Poppy.
"Why?" Asked Jerome.
"Because I wanted to ask you something," said Poppy.
"What do you want to ask?" Asked Jerome.
"When are you going to visit Dad again?" Asked Poppy.
"No idea," said Jerome.
"You haven't visit him in a long time and he wants to see you again," said Poppy.
"I'll have to clear my schedule and I'll see," said Jerome.
"Just visit him soon. Dad wants to say something but only when we're both there," said Poppy.
"I'll let you know," said Jerome.
Jerome closed his locker and walked away.
In the meantime. Victor was sitting in his office and got a call. Victor already suspected who was calling him.
"You're speaking with Victor Rodenmaar," said Victor.
"Where is the locket Victor?" Asked Raven.
"What?" Asked Victor.
"I want it back," said Raven.
"I don't have any locket, said Victor
"Do not lie to me! The girl in the hospital didn't have it around her neck," said Raven.
"How do you know that?" Asked Victor.
"If you don't have it, then it must still be in the hospital. Get it back and do it fast," said Raven.
"Why do I've to...," said Victor.
But before Victor could say anything else, Raven hung up the phone.
A few moments later at the hospital. Ryan sitting at Nina's beside and giving her some water.
"Ryan?" Asked Nina.
"Yes," said Ryan.
"Do you think Fabian is mad at me?" Asked Nina.
"I think he still finds it a little hard to accept that we're together now," said Ryan.
"Do you think I should to him about us?" asked Nina.
"Don't worry about that now. Just go get some sleep, you need your rest," said Ryan.
Nina closed her eyes and went to sleep. The nurse came in and gestured for Ryan to come.
"These are Nina's things. Maybe you want to take it with you, because we sometimes lose things here," said the Nurse.
"Of course, no problem," said Ryan.
The nurse handed the bag to Ryan. And in the bag was the locket. Ryan took the locket out of the bag and looked at it. Ryan didn't think much of it and put back.
A few hours later and school was almost over. Jerome was in the boys' bathroom. Jerome splashed some water on his face and then looked up through the mirror to see Mr. Griffin standing behind him.
"Hello Jerome," said Mr. Griffin.
"What do you want from me?" Asked Jerome.
"You know exactly what I want," said Mr. Griffin.
"I don't know what you want," said Jerome.
Mr. Griffin grabbed Jerome by the neck.
"If you ever spill my secret to anyone, bad things will happen, said Mr. Griffin.
"Like that 'accident' happened to Nina?" Asked Jerome.
"You think I've something to do with Nina's accident?" Asked Mr. Griffin.
"The more I think about it, the more certain I'm of it," said Jerome.
"Then you know you must keep your mouth shut, if not I know where to find you," said Mr. Griffin.
Mr. Griffin let go of Jerome's neck and disappeared. Jerome slide down against the wall and feared for his life.
A few moments later. The residents were at home. Fabian and Eddie were in their room. Eddie lays on the bed to read a surf magazine and Fabian looked for the letter. Fabian looked in the closet and even under Eddie's bed, but couldn't find it anywhere.
"I lost it. It's gone," said Fabian.
"Now if you tell me what you're looking for, maybe I can help you find it," said Eddie.
"That letter from Nina," said Fabian.
"What letter are you talking about?" Asked Eddie.
"The letter. Her apology letter, which she gave to me in the bus. I've to find it," said Fabian.
"Why are you looking for it?" Asked Eddie.
"Because it will proof that she dumped Ryan," said Fabian.
"Then I'll look really hard if I were you, because Nina and I are very happy together now," said Ryan, as he entered the room.
Fabian stood up. walked to the door. Fabian gave Ryan an angry look and left the room. Eddie got up and walked over to Ryan too.
"You're and always be a dirty rat," said Eddie.
Eddie left the room and went to help Fabian find the letter. When Ryan was sure he was alone, he pulled a small safe from under his bed. Ryan took the key from his breast pocket and opened the safe. Ryan put Nina's things in the safe. Then Ryan pulled an envelope from his pocket. Ryan took the letter out of the envelope and began to read.
"Dear Fabian…," said Ryan, as he read the letter.
Ryan had the letter. What's he going to do with it? Will Fabian ever get the letter back.
