I officially haven't updated since last year and I think I really need to now! Anywayyyy, the last time we left the story, I introduced Izzi, who I've pretty much been talking to everyday on BBM and we're like amazing friends now and she has very good advice about things and she's just an amazing person! And now that I know her better, it will be a little easier to write her character now! We were even planning to go to NYC and track down Tasie Dhanraj because apparently she is in NYC now! Ok….. Now that my rant about Izzi is over… I'm gonna get to the story now! Enjoy!

Jen's POV

I felt a little bit bad about making fun of the new girl, especially since I don't know who she is, and she's going to be my roommate. I walked back inside the house with Jerome, feeling the strange pang of guilt.

"Jerome?" I asked. He simply turned his head to look at me. "Don't you feel a little bad that we made fun of Izzi like that? I mean we don't even know her." I said quite simply.

"I actually have met her. She seems nice, but she blushed as soon as I mentioned Lucas's name. It's pretty obvious Jen, I wasn't born yesterday." He said knowingly. "But yes, I do feel a little bad… but Lucas is my brother, I have to joke around with him like that from time to time or else he'll think I softened up."

"I guess…." I said as we walked through the doors of Anubis House. "I'll talk to you at dinner?" I asked, starting to walk up the stairs.

"Definitely. I also need help with homework so please be down soon?" He pleaded, starting to walk to the room that he and Alfie shared.

"You always need help with homework, don't you?" I joked. "Alright, see you soon Jerome!" I called walking up the stairs.

I kept walking up the twisted staircase. I think this was the first time I had ever noticed the pattern. It was some kind of eye, the Eye of Horus, I think it was called. I remember learning about it in History with Mr. Winkler. It was some kind of Egyptian symbol, I believe. To ward off evil spirits or something like that. Now that I thought about it, it kind of looked like Nina's locket… Oh god, Corbierre. That gruesome looking bird was the last thing I wanted to see when I first walked upstairs. It's kind of creepy; I've seen Victor talking to it once or twice, as if the bird was real. I stopped when I finally got to my room. I opened the door to see a dark haired girl sitting on the other bed in my room.

Izzi.

"Hi! You're Izzi, right?" I asked, walking over to her.

"The one and the only! I'm guessing the one and the only person who isn't British too?" Right, she probably hasn't met Nina and Gabi yet!

"Well, there is Nina and Gabi. They're sisters, and American! Gabi is like one of my best friends, besides Jerome and Alfie. I'm kind of friends with Nina but she tends to hang out more with Fabian and Amber. Mick got so upset once that he broke up with Amber. Now that I think about it, they've been on and off for a long time." I started to remember how many times that Mick and Amber have broken up. It was either because of Amber's girlyness, or drama, and her complaining about how Mick would always be too sweaty for her after sports. As much as Amber's like a sister to me, she can get a little out of hand sometimes. Maybe little is a bit too much of an understatement?

"Mick? You mean that sweaty jock that hit me with a football while I was talking to Jerome? I don't like him. He seems full of himself, just a little at the very least. He also said that this girl Patricia would hate me because she apparently doesn't like new people..? I'm honestly very confused. If a girl's never even met me, then how can she hate me?" Izzi asked.

"That's my sister alright…..Patricia and I are sisters, I don't know why Mick said that. It only happened to Nina because she couldn't find Joy and thought Nina had something to do with it. We still don't know what happened to Joy though. Alfie thinks she been abducted by aliens… My answer to that? I think he's gone nuts. But then again, Alfie has always been a little bit…odd. But anyway, Patricia thinks that there's some huge conspiracy thing against her and the whole house has just been a little odd ever since Nina and Gabi have gotten here." Izzi seemed really nice. I don't think Patricia will hate her…But then again, you never know with Patricia.

"So, let's get to know each other! My name is Jennifer Williamson, but I prefer to go by Jen, I absolutely adore the color purple, my favorite bands are One Direction from the X Factor and Paramore, and I've been going here since I was 8. What about you?" I asked. I was always outgoing and wanted to make new friends.

"Well, my name's Isabella De La Rosa, but I prefer to go by Izzi, I love anything with the color purple, my favorite band is The Script, but my favorite artists are Tiny Tempa, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Lopez. I'm also the foreign exchange student!" She said. I could tell we were going to become good friends.

"Who have you met so far? Like, besides me, Jerome, and Mick?"

"Let's see, I've met that creep of a house-runner-thing , Victor, I've met the nicest housemother in the world, Trudy, and I met Jerome's brother, Lucas." She said as a small grin stretched on her face, and her cheeks turned slightly pink.

"Do you like Lucas..?" No response. Just smiling and looking down. "You do like him! He really is amazing, and incredibly sweet. But my heart's set on someone else of close relation…" Izzi looked confused. How did she NOT get it. "speaking of close relations, Jerome's asked me to help with some homework… I'll see you at dinner and introduce you to everyone, ok?"

"Definitely! See you later Jen!" She called, and I waved as I walked out of the door with a pair of clothes in hand, planning to change in the bathroom seeing as I felt a bit awkward changing in the same room as someone I had just met.

I changed into a lacy tank top, with a solid one underneath, and my skinny jeans. I may not be dating Jerome, but I at least want to look good when I see him. I fixed my hair and started walking downstairs. I paced down the familiar hallway until reaching Jerome and Alfie's room. I knocked on the door, and it opened for me to find a shirtless Jerome. Well, this was awkward…

"Oh, hey Jen…" Jerome said, looking slightly flustered. He quickly grabbed his shirt and a cardigan and threw them on. "If I had known you were coming sooner I would've changed earlier…"

"So.." I began, trying to get off the awkward subject that had just arisen. "What kind of homework did you need help with?" I asked.

"Math." He replied simply. "It says: The circumference of a circular lake is 16 pi feet. What is the distance from the center of the lake to edge of the lake?"

"Ok, figure it out like this. What's another word for circumference?" "Diameter?" "Right! And the distance from the center of the lake to the edge of the lake is an example of..?" "The radius?" "Yes! And the definition of a radius is..?" "Half the diameter!" "YAY! Now solve that and what's the answer?" "Eight?" "YES! YOU GOT IT!"

It went on like this until supper. It was fun, but I do have to admit that it felt like I was a schoolteacher.

A/N: Just want to say thank you to my math teacher for giving me that word problem, (Go Mrs. Campana! =]) and please review you guys. New chapter up tomorrow, I promise. It's already all written out. PEACE!
