Patricia, Mara, and Mick have got hold of Fabian's journal. Patricia opened it and started reading...
*Patricia's POV*
I opened it to a random page. To save time, we decided just to read the entries about Nina.
I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
I was interrupted by Mick snorting. "Ha! That's a lie! Fabian's an open book when it comes to girls. My mate. He fell for Nina the moment he saw her."
"I have to agree with you on that one. Joy, Fabian, and I were walking back to class when she ran into me her first day here. Nina ran off; Joy and I resumed walking, but Fabian lingered behind us. He was totally checking her out, and the rest of the day he got called on five times. Jumped straight into the air, he did, each time."
"Oh-oh. I was talking about our conversation after school. I didn't know that juicy little piece o' info you just shared." Mick was grinning mischievously. Mara walked over and waved her hand in front of our faces.
"Okay, back to the journal. We don't have much longer."
"Right-o."
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
Mick teased me about... well, dating Nina. At first I thought he was joking, but no, he really was serious about Nina and I being a couple. What gave him that idea? I mean, Nina and I've known each other a couple weeks, and there's definitely something different about her (in a charming way). Maybe this is a sign to tell her how I feel? Okay, I'll talk to her in the hall.
*after school*
It started out well- I think, but then we sort of drifted off topic. Nina said she let Amber assume that to protect the secrets we'd uncovered. Then,"I mean, you and me? Ridiculous. Right?" She paused, clearly rating for a response. I couldn't always think straight around her; I lost my nerve. I didn't want to ruin our friendship! What else could I do, but nod along with her? Then I bid a hasty retreat.
I slammed the book shut. Mick gave a wolf-whistle. "Wow, I didn't know you almost had it in ya, mate."
"He nearly asked her out! She had the nerve to say the idea was ridiculous? We all know she fancies him. That little-"
Mara cut my tirade off. "Wow. Fabian may be book-smart, but he's definitely not Nina-smart. She couldn't lie to save her life."
"All the same-"
"Patricia, I really don't like going through people's private thoughts, but you're being very biased about this. Oughtn't we read Nina's side of the story to get a sense of what both of them were feeling? You're really going all Amber-Cupid with this, and it's starting to scare me."
"Yeah," Mick chimed in, "is the Goth pixie turning into a fairy godmother?"
"Oh, shut it."
While they were having a field day discussing "Fabina" the movie had just reached the point at Shell Cottage when Dobby's burial was taking place.
*Fabian's POV*
I heard a small sniffle and turned to my right. "Are you all right, Nina?"
"Yeah, it's just... Dobby. He was so innocent, so lovable. The knife should have missed him."
"I know." She sniffed again, and out of instinct I put my arm around her and gave her a little squeeze. Nina gave me a watery smile. "I'll be right back; I want to show you something."
"Okay."
*Mick's POV*
We were discussing what was the best time to take a peek at Nina's diary-well, Mara and Patricia were talking, standing by my wardrobe. I was playing hacky-sack. Then we heard the knob turn. Aww, great, we were about to get busted. The blue marble composition notebook was lying open on my bed. We frantically scrambled around and in came-
A/N: Please go to my poll on my profile. I have left many open ends and am not sure how to end this story. I have some choices of how Nina and Fabian should get together. I would really appreciate your input. Please click that little button and V-O-T-E!
On another note, hooray! I have nearly 100 reviews! Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my work. Who will be my 100th reviewer? I do not know, but I will dedicate my next chapter to you, and if I happen to get my 111th as well, it goes to the both of you. (I tend to like numbers like that... you know, how you make a wish at 11:11,12:34, etc...)
