Hey, hope you liked the last chapter! I tried to make this one better.
Nina's POV
I ran up the stairs and ran into the girl's corridor. I kissed him on the cheek! Watch now he won't feel the same way. Now it's going to be awkward between us. I need to get ready. I and really going to regret going into this room later. I entered Patricia's room to get my suitcase. I didn't want to be framed of anything missing so I walked in and walked out. There was Amber as I closed the door.
"You're up already?" She asked me rubbing her eyes, holding her uniform.
"Yep. I had to get my uniform and schedule"
"Oh. How did you find your way to Mr. Sweet's office?" Crap. What am I supposed to tell her? I don't want her to think I like Fabian. Well truth is always good.
"I left the house upset. But Fabian came after me to show me the way there." Ahh now she's going to think that he likes me. Oh well.
"Oh. Well I'm going to go get dressed."
"Okay" She walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Finally. I kneeled down and put my suitcase on the floor to open it. I unwrapped all the uniforms, except for one, and put them under my other clothes. I grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste, then closed my suitcase. I got up and Mara came out of her room.
"Hey new roomy." She said to me. Honestly I think that she is going to be one of my best friends here.
"Hi." I waved with my toothbrush.
"So you are going to school today? Let me see your schedule." I reached into my back pocket to pull it out of where I stored it. Then I handed it to her. "Oh, wow. You have all the same classes with me and Fabian except for one, wow. You are taking pre-trigonometry? I'm only taking Calculus!"
"Yeah I finished that my freshman year. Hey how many classes do we have with Patricia?"
"Two. History and English. We are getting a new History teacher today. You two will have something in common." She explained this to me. Well I guess two classes with her isn't so bad.
"Cool. I need to brush my teeth."
"Okay. I am heading down to breakfast. I will see you there." She walked out of the corridor. Then Amber came out of the bathroom and went into her room. I think to grab her bag. I went into the bathroom. After I was done brushing my teeth and putting on my uniform, I exited the bathroom. I grabbed my suitcase and put it beside Mara's bedroom door. Then opened it to get out my brown shoulder bag and my new school supplies. When I was done I closed my suitcase and went down stairs. Hopefully my stuff would get here within a couple days, I am running out of clean clothes. As I entered the living room to find Fabian, Patricia, Mara and Amber staring at me. Patricia got up to whisper something into Fabian's ear. Then they started whispering to each other.
Fabian's POV
"Why are you helping her? She's the reason our friend is gone." I swear, Patricia is getting on my nerves.
"She is perfectly fine and I think you are going about this all wrong."
"I swear, Fabian, you had better get on my side on this, or else I won't talk to you anymore." Is she really threatening me?
"Fine. I would rather be a good person in someone's year than be a part of foiling it." She scoffed and went to sit back down.
I looked at Nina. She looks so adorable, and lost. I should call her over.
"Nina, come sit here." I pointed to the seat next to me.
"That's Joy's seat!" Patricia screamed out.
"Yeah, but Joy's not here anymore." That hurt to say it. Honestly it did.
Nina's POV
Well now I know I'm not welcome by her. Mara started talking to her. Then I looked at the table. There was sausage, scrambled eggs, pancakes with three different kinds of syrup, and hash browns. It smelled so good.
"Wow. Is it like this every day?" I asked Trudy.
"Yup. All homemade." She smiled at me and walked over to put a bowl of mixed berries on the table. I nearly melted into my seat.
"Ha, are you okay?" Fabian asked me. I couldn't believe he was acting all normal after yesterday, at least, I think it was normal.
"Yeah I'm fine, I just next have had a home cooked breakfast this big and good looking." I answered. I looked at Patricia as she rolled her eyes. Fabian shook his head.
"You should try tasting it." Fabian said as Mara let out a tiny chuckle.
"Trudy makes the best food. I could swear she the best out of all the house mothers." Mara said.
"Well, if you think that don't go telling other students outside the house." I could tell Trudy was flattered by the tone in her voice. I like Trudy, she is very nice and perky, also really into her work.
Jerome and Mick walked into the dining room.
"Oh, Alfie would love this breakfast." After the incident with Alfie, I could tell Jerome was depressed. I know what it's like to be separated from your best friend. I just got thru it. I miss my friends in America.
"Hey, Cheer up mate." Mick said picking up a pancake and handing it to Jerome. He took it and took a bite out of it.
"Heathens." Mara said. I thought it was funny. I made my plate, as did everyone else. I looked at the plate and my mouth started to water. I took and bite, and if they could my eyes would turn into the heart emoji. Instead they widened as big as they could. Fabian started laughing at my reaction.
"I think my year just started off as amazing as it will ever get." I said. Everyone started laughing, except for Patricia of course.
"Just wait until dinner. Trudy's making chicken cutlets." Fabian said with a perky smile.
After breakfast I grabbed my bag and Fabian walked me to school.
"So Mara says we have the same classes then." I told him.
"That's amazing! Every class?" He asked me. I sighed to tell him the truth.
"No I have pre-trig, but other than that yes." I let him know.
"What!? The only other person in the house with that class is Jerome."
"Oh great." I said sarcastically.
"What? You don't like him?"
"It's not that, I just have the feeling that him and Patricia are up to something involving me."
"Oh, yeah it did seem suspicious. They hate each other."
"Yeah let's get to English." I told him.
He lead me to the classroom. When we walked in I saw Mara sitting next to some other girl talking, Patricia all alone in a corner, and Amber and Mick flirting with each other. Fabian lead me to the table next to Mara and her friend. This was weird having tables instead of desks.
"Hey Nina, this is my friend Addy." Mara introduced me to her friend.
"Hey." I waved.
"Hello." She waved back. She was a tall, pale girl with blue eyes and grey, brown hair. She was very pretty and looked very pure. She sat up tall light a polite girl. She looked like the kind to be very confident and a well-rounded student. It wasn't surprising that she was friends with Mara. The class quieted down when a tall woman enter the class, who I thought to be Mrs. Andrews.
"Good morning class." She said. She looked straight at me and said, "Class we have a new student today. This is Nina Martin and I hope you will be giving her a warm welcome. Who you like to tell the class about yourself?" Great and opportunity to stick out. I didn't want to be impolite.
"Sure." I stood up and looked around the room. "Hi I'm Nina. I'm from California and I can't wait to meet a bunch of new people here." I sat back down as I saw Patricia roll her eyes. I just smiled at her, then I heard her scoff as I turned my head towards the front of the classroom. I honestly thought I sounded like a dork.
"Thank you Nina, I hope you have an excellent year." Mrs. Andrews said as she started the lesson.
After class I started to pack up my things. My hands hurt so bad after taking all of those notes that I dropped my pencil bag and everything fell out of it. When I bent down to pick up the stuff, Fabian did as well.
"First day going okay?" He asked me.
"Not that bad. Honestly I thought it would go worse."
"Well, I'll help you out if you need it. Okay?" He is so nice. I can't believe he's not being awkward about what happened yesterday.
"Okay." I smiled at him. He smiled back. I really like him, I just don't think he feels the same way.
"Now we have history. Patricia and Jerome's in there too." I think this is the class that I am going to dread the most.
"Oh. Okay," I said trying not to sound upset. I didn't want either of them to hear me if they were around.
"Let's go." He said as we stood back up. We walked out of the classroom. It seemed more crowded than earlier this morning. Then I looked in front of me. I think at this moment in time have am seeing the most terrifying thing I will have ever seen in my life. It was a black creature. A ghostly like figure glaring at me. I think it's a guy, but I am not sure. He was tall and came up to me. It looked like he had a mask on of some weird kind of K9. I saw him reach into the black mist he had. Then showed me something like a picture. It started moving like a video. It was Fabian and I, it looked like we were walking back to Anubis house. Then a car rolled up and a boy got out, he was tall and had brownish hair. I feel like I know this kid. It touched my stomach, then it disappeared. It all did, the man, the black mist, and the picture just vanished. I couldn't move. I knew it was bad, I could feel it. My stomach started hurting.
Tell me how you feel about this chapter! Thanks for reading.
