So this is chapter…7! WOW! Seven ankh pieces! Hehe! So Joy is going to be a little insane but there's a reason! Don't worry! She said it was about her popularity in the last chapter…I think! There is something else though. So, she is going to be a little Fabian crazy. It will be explained later in the story. Oh and thank you, "Skylar of Hufflepuff" for letting me use her OC Elizabeth Catsin.

IMPORTANT: There is going to be LOTS of couple drama, I support Fabina but I don't want to say who I support for Jerome…I changed a little. It is going to be a surprise… I still like Patrome though, just drama wise, I know who I want... Insert devious smile here.

Am I obsessed with you?
I do my best not to want you.
But I do all the time.
I do all the time.

(Nina Pov)

Booya! School was awesome and I made such great friends, Fabian dumped Joy and chooses to date me, and Patricia got a million times better! Great day! Well, no. Really, the first day was worse that I thought. In history, I had to listen to Joy gossip about me and everyone else and it distracted me from Jason's lesson. Then at lunch, Sammy, a new girl from Ireland spilled her lunch on me by accident. Now I'm in drama with everyone and-

"Joy Mercer and Nina Martin to Mr. Sweet's office." I get up and walk to the hall and Joy smiles politely and Jason nods for us to go. We walk to Mr. Sweet's office, and then we hear two guys scream from down the hall.

"What's this ruckus?" he said as he ran after two boys.

"Okay…what was that about?" She asked looking out the door.

"No idea…" Then I noticed we were talking like normal people. I smiled. She looked out the doorway then turned and walked to sit on Mr. Sweet's desk.

"So, I think we're doing that project. Mr. Sweet made us do the slides and prerecord a video." Wow she was being human. Rare, very rare… "Hey, you can give me yours and I'll put it in at the assembly since yours is going last." Seems safe enough… I hand it to her, and she walks down the hall.

"Oh, Hello Joyce; Go put those in the machine at the assembly hall." I looked out down the hallway and Mr. Sweet was standing there.

"So is your project ready?" I nodded. "I picked you because I figured students would want to see how you look at people through your eyes. You realize the whole school is going to see this?" he said calmly.

"Yeah, I know." I said calmly. "I think I did really did like watching winning a million times."
"What?" he asked confused.
"It's by Auto-tune the news? It's a hit in America? It's about Charlie Sheen…No?" He shook his head and smiled.

"The outrageous things you kids listen too." Then Jason walked into the office.

"Nina, would you like to sit with me at the assembly? Joy is sitting with the house members." Jason asked nicely.

"Yeah, let's go." He nodded understandingly. We started to walk down to the auditorium.

"Hello, Can elementary school please file down to the auditorium." I felt my stomach getting knots in it. Jason must have noticed because he patted my back.

"It's going to be fine. Mr. Sweet and I went through them yesterday. It was the best in the pile!" He said and I smiled.

"Thanks, and anyway; I only have to sit and watch since the words are on the screen." Thinking of this made me less tense. I was walking by the bathrooms with Jason when someone bumped into me.
"Ow! Watch out next time! Oh hey Nina!" Amber got up and straightened her skirt.
"Are you okay?" I asked quickly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Well, good luck with the video!" She gave me a hug then ran away to the auditorium. I walked to the doorway and stopped. There were more kids in this school then I expected. All the grades were in there but there were a few lone students trying to find their classes. I started feeling clammy and tight knots and walked backwards. Someone grabbed me and pulled me over, causing me to almost fall.

"Sorry!" I looked up and saw Fabian. He was stronger than I expected.

"Hi; um…nice meeting you here?" I said awkwardly.

"Yeah," he laughed. "It's fun to surprise people!" I smiled. "I was wondering…maybe we could search for that eagle thing that guy was talking about! It seems fun…" he said like it was all fun and games but really, I was worried we would die this time.

"I don't know. It's something that you wouldn't remember…" I said but as I was to finish I was interrupted.

"But Nina, it's just for fun. Okay? If you want to back out you can; I can't promise I won't try to get you back." He smiled shyly just like the old him did.

"Fine; but when are we going to do this?" I asked quickly.

"Now." He said really fast.

"Now?"

"Now."

"Now! Are you insane?" I asked looking wide eyed.

"Come on, don't you ever break the rules. Maybe Joy was right when she said you were a prude and nerd mixed in one…" He stifled a laugh when I gave him a glare. "I think you are really nice though an' c…" he mumbled the rest.

"What was that?" I asked.

"Nothing, let's go!" he started to walk away when I tapped his shoulder. "What's wrong?" He said walking back to me.

"My project is being done on the screen! I can't just leave!"

"So what? We'll be back for yours; it's at the end anyway. Let's go!" He grabbed my hand. I felt the thousands of knots turn into butterflies in my stomach.

"How about Joy's project?" I asked. He smiled widely.

"Who cares about Joy's project? She bought it off someone online." We laughed and then started to walk. I truthfully didn't know where to look. I figured we could just go to my room and look for something. I led him to the empty house and we walked to my room. He backed up a little when he saw where we were going.

"What's wrong?" I asked seeing him.

"I have a girlfriend..." He said looking down. He was being…shy.

"We are going to look around the room for clues. Relax…Okay?" He's loyal at least. We sat on my bed and I opened my diary. "So, last year we were almost murdered by those sand flies…How does he get them in the hourglass, but back on subject? We all managed to escape though."

"Alright…How did we escape from this guy?" He asked.

"His name is Rufus and we escaped because of you…" I said trying to keep it as vague as possible.

"What did I do?" he asked really into this story.

"Well…um…-"

"Come on! Spit it out!" He said nudging me with his elbow jokingly.

"Well let me tell you the story. Okay, Mick and Mara wouldn't know what were talking about even if you guys didn't forget. So we got a note from who we thought was Joy but it was really was from Rufus. Then Mr. Winkler, yes, Mr. Winkler was our teacher last year too, was told to get the ankh pieces. He ran to get the teachers but didn't come back. We were standing around and Patricia got a call from Joy. Rufus called back but she didn't answer. Then he broke her phone and made us sit. I sat with Patricia, Amber and Alfie sat together, you and Jerome sat alone. Then we sat and you tried to convince him to let us go but he said they were putting the cup together. Then you said maybe the teachers had beaten him to it, but then Rufus said one of us would be dead if they drank for the cup. Then I had him state what he was saying, and he told us that it was a life for a life. If they drank from the cup, one of us would be dead. Then he said he saw my name in the cellar, but Jerome interrupted him. Then I asked you about the names or the 'scales' and you told me everything was going to be okay…" I stopped not wanting to go on.

"Then what happened? It's getting good!" he said shocked, and a little enthusiastic, but at the same time, concentrated.

"Well," I started to blush hard so I looked down. "Rufus said 'you' then grabbed me." I looked up and he looked like he was concerned. "You got up and said 'leave her!' head-butted him, which made him let go. Then we threw the cup around and Jerome found the key. Jerome and I were the last left and Jerome threw the hourglass at Rufus and- The end!" I said quickly closing my diary. He giggled.

"I saw the last line." He said a huge smiling going across his face. "I have muscular arms, ehhhh."

"Shut up!" I said pushing his arm.

"I may be a jock, but I read fast! Just don't tell everyone!"

"Why? You should be happy about that. Grades are important and people would adore you!" Oh God! I sound like Mara from last year… well technically since the school doesn't remember anything I have to redo the year. Oh well; more time with my friends, well, the ones that I like me.

"I know, but Joy-"

"Wait, did Joy force you to do sports?" I interrupted him.

"Well, yeah…but I guess I like it."

"If you could read this diary you would be shocked at what you didn't do!" He laughed.

"Can I read it then?" He went to grab the diary but I pulled it away from him.

"No, are you insane! It has mushy stuff about people! Like Alfie and Amber and Mick and Mara!"

"What?"

"Opps; You found out last year's couples!" I smiled weakly but it turned full fledged when he grabbed my diary. He got up and ran to Amber's bed. I got up and managed to tackle him to get it. Then without knowing it, I was on top of him, holding myself up over him…

(Jerome Pov)

I was in the middle of watching Amelia Pincher's video when Trudy tapped Trixie's shoulder. Patricia got up confused and walked out of the auditorium with Trudy. I started to get up but I was interrupted by Alfie.

"Bro…"

"What?"

"You might want to use dark magic to cast a spell on that Goth pixie." He smirked.

"Oh Amber, you know-" Alfie cupped my mouth but I pulled away and left. I walked behind them and when they reached the school I waited a moment. I would tell Trudy that it was too boring so I ditched. I waited 5 minutes then snuck up the stairs. I walked by Nina and Amber's room and heard talking. It sounded long and boring so I walked on. Now that I think about it Fabian and Nina weren't at the video presentation… Still, I walked on. I got to Trixie's door and heard talking. Except it didn't sound like Trudy. I put my ear to the door.

"Dad, but how did-" A few seconds of silence. "I'm sorry! Jeez! Yeah…Aunt Tammy has been paying for this." A few more seconds of silence passed. A small mumble said 'only going to be here for a week…' Who was that? "Dad; Please don't! I came here to start off new! Please!" She slammed her phone shut. "Ugh! I have to deal with an already overcrowded room! Why did you ask Aunt Tammy about me? I didn't want Mum and dad to know where I was!"

"I'm sorry Patricia! I wanted to meet you! They barley speak of you and your-"

"You little brat; you got Aunt Tammy to let you shadow for a week! Now I have to convince mom and dad to let me stay! Do you see all the trouble you've caused? Now I have to-" The mystery person ran out of the room. It was a young girl around the age of 13. She had tears streaming down her face and she ran to me, and fell into my shirt sobbing. I stood awkwardly for a second, and then patted her back. She had hair like Patricia's except longer and with no extensions.

"Yep, you guys are sisters… Trixie told me she was an only child."

"I know…I wasn't supposed to show up at the school. I should've lived life like an only child."

"Why didn't you live with each other?"

"Well, she moved when I was four but she moved back in a year later. She was my hero until her stopped being happy and had a dull face on 24/7. I read her diary and she said she was scared she would be alone…I told my parents and they confronted her about it…She ran away the next day."

"Is she super angry?"

"No, not Patricia angry; just angry because our parents might take her out of here."

"What!" I said shocked.
"You must be that boy she kept babbling about. You are cute…" She smiled.
"Just go talk to Trudy!" I said pushing her toward the stairs. She started to walk down when she said,

"Match made in heaven…" and snickered. I barged into Patricia's room. She had a knife and was playing with it in her hands.

"What the hell are you doing?" I ran over and grabbed the knife. She looked down at the floor.

"I'm leaving Jerome… My parents are taking me away…" She said sadly.

"No you're not! Patricia, snap out of it!" She didn't move her eyes from the spot on the floor. "Patricia, look at me!" She still looked down and I could see a tear fall to the ground. My eyes welled up with tears but I wouldn't let them go for her sake. "Damn it Patricia! Look at me!" She shot her head up and looked at me. Her eyeliner was running down her face, she looked like a wreck.

"Don't you get it? I have to go back to a living hell! My hometown judges me! They hate me and I'm the town outcast!" She was sobbing… The unbreakable Patricia cracked…scratch that…shattered completely! "I don't want to leave! I hate my parents! They never accepted me! Aunt Tammy accepted me but she put me in a boarding school so I could make some friends!" I rubbed her back as she went on. "Stupid Elizabeth! She had to find out about me from my Aunt? I want to never see them again!" I moved closer to her and we were touching. I put my arm around her and pulled her into me. "I don't want to leave! You guys accept me here! Elizabeth ruined my nice life! I hate her! I wish she would just fall into a hole! Then I can't live with out your pranks! What am I going to-" I leaned in and kissed her. She pulled back.

"I've been waiting to do that for two years."

"Jerome…I-I can't…" and with that she got up and left me alone in the room.

I was holding myself over him and he smiled. We laid there staring into each other's eyes.

"Well…do you like the weather up there?" He said and I could feel his minty breath hit me, making a butterfly-tickling sensation go all over me. I blushed and he giggled.

"Yeah, it's rather beautiful." I said smiling.

"Well, watch out! We don't want your pretty little head falling to the ground!" he said jokingly.

"Did you just call my head pretty?" I asked smiling.

"No! Psht! Why would you be pretty? I mean... that-" The door of my bedroom opened. There was Patricia. Patricia walked over and pushed me over.

"What are you doing?" she said sternly. Her makeup was really messed up.

"I was…um…talking to Nina about… necklaces! I need one for Joy!" He said quickly.

"Mmmhm…" Patricia glared at me. I still couldn't believe we had been close friends. Patricia walked out of the room to clean her makeup and then we walked back to the school. Fabian whispered something into my ear.

"I meant you are beautiful…" I looked at him and showed he was trying to hide a blush. I stopped him while Patricia and Jerome kept walking, but they seemed so far away from each other.

"I just need to do this now…" I kissed his cheek and felt an intoxicating spark. He opened his mouth but nothing came out.
"Nina…I-I remember something…Sarah, seven, Rufus? It just doesn't fit…" Then Joy walked in.
"Fabes! Come on! Good luck on your project Nina! I heard it's really good." She smiled sweetly. Fabian shrugged at me and I blushed. He walked to his seat and I walked to a seat next to Mr. Winkler. He smiled.
"Were you with him?" I nodded. "Did you tell him what happened?"

"Sort of…only at prom… We also kissed." Jason smiled at me.

"Go get him Nina. You guys really do love each other." I shrugged.
"He remembered something! When I kissed him! He remembered the words Sarah, Seven, and Rufus!"

"Wow, just be careful…Rufus is still out there." I was going to tell him about Rufus but then Eric interrupted.

"Here is Nina Martin's project! We save the best for last!" He sat down behind me and Jason and next to Daphne. Fabian looked at me from his seat and Joy noticed, and pulled him into a kiss. Whatever… I looked at the video, instantly becoming confused.

"What the Hell?" Jason whispered. There on the screen was a picture of Fabian Rutter. It started up and it showed a photo of Fabian and his parents. I knew he felt protective of his family so I knew he would be mad. Fabian looked at me and he looked hurt.

"Shut it off!" I screamed at Eric. Jason got up and was trying to press a different video but it wouldn't work. The video was coming from a different source. Daphne ran over and unplugged the projector but right before she did the words said, "They didn't want a boy so they put him in adoptive care." Immediately Fabian grabbed my hand and brought me to the hall.
"What the hell was that?" He asked. He looked mad, confused, and most of all, hurt.

"I-I didn't…"

"Why don't you go back to the auditorium?" Jason said causing it to sound more like a command than a question. He turned and walked back into the auditorium.

"J-Jason, W-what happened to my video?"

"We have no idea. We'll get it straightened out…" I ran back to the house, feeling sick to my stomach. I knew who did this…It was the one who was nice, the one who offered to take my disc, the one that was jealous of me and her boyfriend…Joy Mercer!
