I decided that all the entries were really good so I'm going to take bits and pieces from them. Thanks 2funE4U, Tabyylynn, ramitora22, and Starlightchick for the help! I also forgot to put in a place for a description so I'm going off mostly on ramitora22's with a bit of my own stuff.

Important Notice- In this Mick is still there but Mara hates him because he cheated on her, later on I think I'll have him leave the house and someone else come.

Chapter 1- Who the Heck Are You?

Nina's POV

I stared at the giant, silver spider in mine and Amber's room. We'd hidden it under my bed but I pulled it out a bit to examine it.

How were we going to get this thing through the threads? And the hooks, what do they mean?

I heard a door slamming from downstairs and immediately shoved the spider back beneath the bed and went downstairs to investigate.

When I reached the top of the stairs and looked down there were to people standing there with suitcases, a boy and a girl.

The boy was tall and lanky like Jerome but had short, coppery brown hair, bright green eyes, pale skin, and was void of freckles.

The girl was much like him with the same hair, eye, and skin color. She had a sprinkle of freckles that were so light I almost missed them, and she wasn't as tall as the boy, only average height and her hair was long and curled.

The way they dressed though was way different from one another.

The guy had on some regular jeans, a comfy- looking and plain dark blue shirt, a black beanie, and some vans.

While the girl that was obviously his sister was wearing a single lacey glove on her right hand, a black leather jacket over a classy shirt that somehow went together quite nicely, a pair of black skinny jeans, and some rocking, lace- up combat boots.

"Can I help you?" I asked as I descended the stairs.

Both of them looked up at me and the boy smiled, "Yes we're new here and we have to report to someone named Victor?"

Aww, I was hoping for some more Americans of well British accents are really hot.

"Sorry he's not here right now but I can show where your rooms are," I answered giving them one of my best smiles.

"Thanks that would be lovely," the girl replied.

"Sorry I didn't get your name?" The boy asked.

"Oh yeah, my name's Nina Martin and you?"

I saw the girl stiffen a moment then took my outstretched hand, "The name's Ryanna Chadwick, but call me Ryan. And this here is my twin brother Aiden."

"Nice to meet you guys," I said.

"Anyways, Aiden your room is right down this hallway," I explained leading the way. At the end I turned the knob leading to Jerome and Alfie's room and pushed.

"Here you are Aiden," I told him, and then added, "You can just leave your stuff by that bed. Now if you'll follow me upstairs to our room Ryan."

We left Aiden and marched up the stairs leading to our room. "This is it," I said excited as I opened the door to reveal the room.

"Wow this is so great thanks Nina!" Ryan exclaimed looking at the walls.

I grinned, "I'll leave you unpack, supper will be ready in twenty minutes." I walked out and down the stairs happily yet a little worried.

It was going to be hard to keep secrets away from your roommate. Oh well, we'll find a way around it I guess.

I doubt that Ryan would snoop around she hardly seems the type of person that would.

When I entered the living room I saw Fabian and Joy sitting together having their 'Study Buddy' sessions.

Not that I'm jealous, we just need to work on the next part of the tunnels that's all.

Just then Fabian looked up and must have noticed the look on my face, but before he could say something I sat on the couch next to Amber pretending to listen to her talk about some celebrity couple.

"Nina? Are you okay? You're all spacey and are you even listening to me?" Amber demanded waving her hand in front of my face.

I looked at her and she raised her eyebrows expectedly.

"I'm fine, and I was listening to you. I agree, they make such an awful couple," I replied and she seemed somewhat satisfied with my answer.

"Who the heck are you?" Patricia asked suddenly and we all turned to look at her. Standing in the entrance were Ryan and Aiden looking somewhat confused.

Aiden was taken aback but manage to say, "Well we just moved in here, and my name's Aiden Chadwick. This is my twin sister Ryan Chadwick, and who exactly are you?"

"Why are you here?" she demanded not answering his question.

Ryan looked slightly pissed, "Why don't you back off huh? We're here because we applied and got accepted. What's your problem anyway?"

Everyone gasped, no one talked to Patricia like that.

But instead of flipping out Patricia cracked a grin, "A girl with some backbone huh? That's a refreshing change don't you all agree? My name's Patricia Williamson."

She and Ryan shook hands smiling like they were best friends already. "Who are the rest of you lot?" Aiden inquired coolly.

I like how in sure he was of himself, and how controlled not at all like Fabian was. He might help me get over the fact that Fabian likes Joy and not me anymore.

"I'm Alfie and are you two cloned aliens went to kill us?" I rolled my eyes but Aiden and Ryan thought it was funny.

"No Alfie we are not," Ryan answered smiling.

Then Amber started talking at a 100 mph, "Well my name's Amber, the tall one's Jerome, the sport-oholic is Mick we used to go out but broke up, the girl glaring at him and sitting next to Jerome is Mara my ex-roomie and they're broken up now because Mick cheated on her and Mara and Jerome like each other and Jerome is making it quite obvious but Mara hasn't noticed, that's Nina my BAFF, that's Fabian over there and he and Nina went out but they broke up and that girl next to him is Joy and she can't get it through her thick head that he just wants to be friends and still has feelings for Nina, and that guy over there next to Patricia is Eddie and they're so totally made for each other but they refuse to just admit it, Eddie tried but Patricia turned him done then he overheard her telling Joy that she actually did like him."

At the end everyone was blushing and Aiden and Ryan looked totally and completely confused.

"So wait," Ryan said then continued after a pause, "So that guy Mick went out with you then you guys broke up and then he went out with Mara and he cheated on her? Jerome and Mara like each other and same with Eddie and Patricia, and Nina and Fabian? The chick name Joy likes Fabian but he doesn't feel the same?"

Amber nodded.

"Anything else?" Aiden asked bobbing his head side to side, the gesture was kind of cute in my opinion.

Amber thought a second, "Well, Alfie and I went out but then we broke up, and Joy kissed Fabian but Fabian didn't know that it wasn't Nina because Joy had on the same dress and she stole Nina's mask."

I decided that now was the time to leave before Amber could embarrass anyone else anymore, though I highly doubted it was possible.

I stood up, grabbed Amber's arm, and began dragging her up to our room till supper was ready.

Once we got up there I noticed that Ryan had already set up her bed and put away all her clothes and only had her personal items left.

"Wow, she's way fast. She was only up here for what? Fifth-teen minutes?" I asked.

Amber nodded as we sat down on my bed. "Why did you drag me up here by the way?" Amber inquired cocking her head to one side.

"Because you were spilling secrets left and right and some personal stuff, stuff that I think people would rather keep to themselves. And besides I think the Aiden is pretty nice and I don't want him to think that I have feelings for Fabian," I admitted looking down at my hands.

"But you do!" Amber exclaimed and I just shook my head. It didn't matter if I liked Fabian because he likes Joy and she obviously likes him back.

Just then Ryan came through the door, "Supper's ready." We both nodded and followed her down the stairs to the table.

Vera had set up more chairs so now there were two chairs at each head of the table and four down the sides (the got one of those things that you pull the table and there's a space and you put the piece of table in there).

Patricia was on one end of the table next to Joy as usual with Eddie on her other side. Then from there it was him, Alfie, Jerome, and Mara. Beside Joy sat Mick, then, Aiden, Ryan, and Fabian.

The only open seats were on the end closest to the doorway where I normally sat.

I choose the spot next to Mara and Amber was right next to me so I wouldn't have to be close to Fabian.

"Here we go," Vera said excitedly as she set a pot of hot spaghetti down. Oh no, I thought when I saw the look Jerome and Alfie gave each other.

Hurriedly I grabbed some spaghetti, put it on my plate, and dug in hoping to eat as much as I could before the rest got thrown at everyone else.

While I admit food fights are fun and great, not getting any dinner was not.

I finished my first serving and smiled no food fight yet and now I don't have to hurry anymore.

"Hey Aiden, can you pass down the roll please?" I asked politely.

"Sure thing," he replied giving me what I thought was quite the flirtatious grin.

I stood up a bit to reach the rolls and unexpectedly got smacked in the face by spaghetti and sauce. I gasped as the cold substance hit me.

When I opened my eyes everyone was throwing food at everyone.

Amber ran out shrieking and I had casually retrieved the rolls and dipped them into the sauce while food was flying all around me.

Then I got drenched in cold water that made me jump out of my chair and scream.

I looked up to see Joy who was laughing her head off; of course she would be that big of a jerk.

"Nina!" two make voices exclaimed, I took my eyes off Joy's smirking face to see a Fabian and Aiden with some very worried expressions on their faces.

Fabian glared at Joy, "Classy Joy, really classy. Are you alright Nina?"

My heart squeezed and through the pain I managed to say, "Yeah, I just need to go change."

I fled the room tears in my eyes but could still hear it when Joy say, "She's fine! Why do you care anyways Fabes? You two broke up remember?"

"Because I still have feelings for Nina, and I have none for you!" Fabian retorted angrily. What? Did I hear that right? Fabian still had feelings for me? I bet he's just saying that, I doubt that he means it. Suddenly the new guy seemed a whole lot cuter.

No One's POV

"Because I still have feelings for Nina, and I have none for you!" The table was shocked into silence.

Joy looked like she wanted to cry and a second later she was outright bawling.

"Some move Idiot," Patricia snapped as she led Joy out of the room and up the stairs.

"Wow Fabian I had no idea you had it in you," Amber admitted nodding her head in approval.

"Should someone go talk to her?" Mara asked.

"Joy or Nina?" Alfie wondered.

"Both of them," she replied.

"I'll talk to Nina," Fabian instantly offered.

"No," Amber said.

"Why don't you go Amber?" Aiden questioned.

"Because, a guy needs to do this because Nina feels like Joy is better than her and Fabian was just saying what he said because he was angry and she doesn't think that he meant it, and a girl can't do it because she'd think that they'd just be lying to make her feel better," she explained as if it was obvious.

"I'll go talk to her," Jerome said and began walking away.

"Why you? You're hardly the pick-me-up kind of guy," Mick demanded.

Jerome sighed then began talking like someone would to a five year old, "Nina is like my little sister and she hardly knows you, Eddie, and Aiden okay? Now end of discussion."

And with that he left.

"Now Mara, and I are going to talk to Joy. You can come too Ryan if you want," Amber announced standing up as did Mara.

"No, that's okay you too go on ahead," Ryan told them shaking her head.

Nina's POV

I sat on my bed clutching my pillow and crying softly.

There was a timid knock but I didn't feel like answering. Eventually the person just came in.

"Go away," I told them weakly thinking it was Amber or Fabian.

"No chance of that," I looked up at the sound of Jerome's voice.

"Oh, it's you Jerome, sorry." He shrugged as he shut the door and came to sit beside me.

"That's okay Nina, now why are you crying?" he asked in his caring voice that he reserved for Mara his crush, Poppy his sister, and me his close enough to be his sibling.

I sighed deeply, "I heard what Fabian said, but I don't think he meant it."

Jerome shook his head, "He meant it."

"How do you know?" I demanded.

"Because, Nina. If Fabian liked Joy then he wouldn't be trying to impress you by learning hopscotch, I still don't understand that by the way, and trying to get you to forgive him. Honestly, he had no idea that it wasn't you, she had on the same dress, sorry about that, and she stole her mask. You two were partially identical," Jerome explained simply but still I didn't believe him.

"Look Nina. Joy is no you, you are nice, funny, sweet, pretty, and not at all Joy's equal. She is nothing compared to you okay? Fabian loves you Nina, not Joy. Even so Fabian and Joy have nothing in common, but you and Fabian do. You two were made for each other."

I frowned still though, "But Mara and Mick went out, they had nothing in common, same with Amber and Alfie."

"You do realize that Mick cheated on Mara and Amber and Alfie broke up right?" Jerome questioned and I nodded.

"I hate you," I told him teasingly.

"Why? Because you know I'm right and you don't want to admit it?"

"Yeah, pretty much."

"Well that's just too bad.

Patricia's POV

"Come on Joy, it's not that bad," I told her as she cried heavily on my shoulder. "Really it isn't," I insisted.

She glared up at me and I held my hands up in defense.

"It's not that bad Patricia? He loves Nina, not me. I really thought he did to, but no. Fabian only has eyes for that- that American!" she screamed, tears flowing down her cheeks.

There was a tiny knock on the door. "Go away!" I yelled but the door was pushed upon anyway and Patricia and Mara walked in.

"We came to see how you were doing. So?" Amber asked tentatively coming closer with Mara besides her.

Joy tried whipping her face but more tears kept coming.

"Why do you care? Since day one you've wanted Fabina to happen! Well you've gotten your wish, their together and I'll always be single!" she managed to get out in little, short gasps.

"Joy you'll meet plenty of guys that you think are the one, but they might not be and you'll get over it. I'm over Mick and I thought we'd grow up together and get married, have kids but we won't and I can accept that. Mara was the same with Mick and now she has Jerome," Amber explained softly sitting down rubbing Joy's back.

I have to admit it wasn't half bad advice.

"Umm Amber? Jerome and I aren't together," Mara pointed out.

Without even looking at her Amber replied, "But soon you will be so don't you worry yourself Mara. You know what Joy? Did you see the new kid Aiden? He looked like he'd be a cool guy. Or Mick, I've seen the flirting looks you two gave each other when we were dating and when Mara and Mick were dating. Give it a shot okay? You don't need Fabian to be happy."

Joy smiled at all of us and said, "Thanks guys, now if you excuse me I have to go apologize."

Nina's POV

Jerome and I sat facing each other playing a card game till my face wasn't so puffy and the embarrassment of crying was starting to wear off.

We were laughing when the door opened to revile Joy.

"Jerome? Could I talk to Nina for a second, alone?" she asked hesitiately.

Jerome looked at me and I nodded my approval. Joy slowly took Jerome's previous position on my bed and looked down at her hands.

"Nina look, I'm sorry about everything I did. I was jealous and couldn't accept the fact that you and Fabes had a connection that we never had. Everything I did was horrible and you shouldn't forgive me for kissing him in front of you and trying to steal him away, but I hope that you can find it your heart to at least not hate me? I'll gladly take tolerance if that's all your willing to share," Joy told me and I was a bit shocked.

I was silent as I pondered this. Joy kept looking back from me to her hands. She frowned and was about to leave when I put my hand on her arm.

"I forgive you. I want to be friends Joy, can we start all over? Pretend like nothing happened?" I asked holding out my hand and smiling.

She grinned back in response and we shook on it.

"Friends," she agreed.

There's going to be more of the mystery don't worry and less mushy-ness next chapter (I hope). I just wanted a good emotional beginning and I hoped you enjoyed it. Don't forget to comment!
