Fabian

JOY! What was Joy doing in here?

"Fabian!" I heard her explain. "Sorry. I thought you were Victor."

"Oh my gosh! Joy, you're back!" I said giving her the biggest hug I've ever given. Then, right in front of Nina, Joy kissed me. And then I made my biggest mistake… I kissed her back. I heard a sniffle and a sob then Nina was gone. I didn't have a chance now. My window of opportunity just closed.

Nina

Did Fabian and Joy just… kiss? I KNEW he didn't like me! I knew it! His heart still belongs to Joy.

I heard a light knock on my door and in walked Fabian.

"Hey Nina…" He said nervously. "About the kiss-"

"Don't worry, I overreacted. I'm happy for you two." I said plastering a fake smile on my face. Fabian walked out of my room and went downstairs.

"Fabey, what's wrong?" Joy asked as I walked downstairs.

"Nothing!" I said putting on a smile.

"So I was wondering… can we just pick up where we left off before I disappeared?" Before Joy disappeared she was my girlfriend.

"Of course!" If I couldn't have Nina, I might as well just date Joy. I leaned in and kissed Joy. This meant we were a couple. I would miss Nina, but you can't have what you can't get.

"You have five minutes, and then I would like to hear a pin… drop." I heard Victor say.

"Goodnight Fabes." Joy said hugging me.

"Night…" I quietly replied.

The next morning was the most awkward morning I've ever experienced. I had to sit next to Nina. Everything was silent. You could even hear a pin drop! In class Nina and I didn't talk at all. Everything was so… different. But over the days things got better and went back to normal. But I still thought about what had happened every night. I couldn't stand being with Nina knowing that she would never ever like me. I knew what I had to do. I had to get away. Suddenly, all my sadness turned to anger. I don't know why, but I WAS FURIOUS WITH NINA! She never let me explain, she didn't even care that Joy and I were going out, and she's ignored me all day! What a great friend she is! Later that night I snuck out of the House and took a bus to my family's estate.

"Fabey!" My four year old sister, Natalie, yelled.

"Fabian, what are you doing here?" My parents questioned.

"Can I switch houses?"

"Why would you want to do that?"

"Just… I'll explain later."

"Okay." My parents called Mr. Sweet and tomorrow I would be moving into the house next door, Horus. I took a bus back to Anubis and spent the last night in Anubis House that I would ever spend there.

Nina POV

In the morning Trudy had an announcement that was heartbreaking. Fabian was moving out of Anubis!

"Hey, Fabian." I said when we got to school.

"Hey." He replied in an almost angry tone, but I ignored it.

"Why did you switch to Horus?"

"Just… to get away."

"From what?" but I never got a reply, the bell rang. I was disturbed by what Fabian said. 'to get away'. What was he trying to get away from?

Fabian POV

After school I ran into Nina. Just my luck. Again, she asked me why I left, and what I was trying to get away from.

"Fabian, you can tell me." She insisted.

"I'M TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM YOU!" I nearly screamed. The look on Nina's face made me feel terrible. She turned around and walked away crying loudly. I knew I was going to get a lecture from Amber a school the next day. But what I said was true! I would miss everybody else. Just then my blue phone rang. I was the school.

"Hello, Mr. Rutter?"

"Yes?"

"Horus has been closed off because of mice. You will be staying in Anubis."

"Thank you." I said, but not meaning it. This was going to be an interesting week…
