Suki17 sent me this idea when I asked for some, so the credit for that goes to him/her (I'm not sure, so this'll work for now).

I don't own House of Anubis.

Nina's POV

"This is going to be so fun!" Amber chirped, while the girls were all getting ready together. "Two fancy event in a week!"

"It's only a benefit," I reminded the blonde.

"For the homeless," chimed in Mara.

"And it's not even fancy," stated Patricia.

"More of a thing we're being forced into," agreed Joy.

"Whatever!" Amber said cheerily, her mood not tainted whatsoever.

"Ready?" I asked the girls.

"One second!" Amber said, then put on some more lip gloss, fixed her already perfect hair, and stood up from her seat. "Okay, let's go!"

We were all dressed in minidresses, low heels, and we kept the jewelry to a minimum. The guys were dressed in jeans and nice shirts. Amber had convinced some people to go out and put the hood to the car up, which meant that the first time we went over a speed bump my head hit the roof.

"Sorry, guys," Jerome would say and grin wickidly at us.

"Why is he driving again?" Patricia asked when he drove over yet another bump.

"Because, Trixie, I am awesome," He said seriously.

Patricia snorted.

The benefit was enormouse. It was all white- white tablecloths, walls, floors- except for purple violets that were scattered around the room. The hundreds (thousands?) of guests were all talking and drinking water from sparkly wine glasses.

"Are we the only teenagers here?" I asked the person next to me. Fabian.

"I think so," He answered.

I wandered away from him, still feeling betrayed about the whole him/Joy thing. I reminded myself that Joy had convinced him that she who he danced with at the masquarade ball.

But no worries, I was determined to reveal the truth to him by the end of the week, if I ever got the courage to.

Anyway, for the next seventeen minutes I managed to keep my sanity by talking with Amber, Mara, and Paricia, and I even let Alphie ramble on about "what we need to do to protect ourselves from alien species." Honestly, I was a tiny bit impressed that he'd used those words, then felt bad and went to my seat.

For a minute I sat there, just thinking. You know, about random things, like what enfinity really meant and how God was older than time.

Finally, a stiff man with gelled-down black hair stepped up to the microphone on the stage.

"Attencion, please," He said. The chatter died down. "Please take your seats." He waited for a second while everyone calmly walked toward their white chairs. "Okay," continued the man, "I would like to present... Mrs. Carolina Jane Ladder!"

The audience auplauded politely while a woman in a fancy light green, wrap-around dress stapped up.

"Hello," She said. Her accent was British. "I'm Carolina, obviously. Here at the Save the Homeless Foundation, we believe everyone deserves a chance." Carolina smiled and continued on, making a good speech, but I was still tired from last night.

Clapping errupted, louder I'm sure she recognized with satisfaction.

Then we were dismissed to enjoy the buffette.

The line was incredibely long, but I waited patiently while Amber kept talking about how big of a step to see Patricia in something besides gray, blue, or black.

I raised an eyebrow. "Amber, she's wearing dark green. And just yesterday she had on a bronze-ish colored shirt."

"Exactly!" Amber cried, leaving me confused.

Then a band, some no-name guys that were decent with music, went on the stage and started playing what we Americans would call "a slow song."

An older couple was the first to get on the dance floor, waltzing across it gracefully. Then came in some more couples, until I saw a familiar one. It was Fabian and Joy. Joy was a mave-around-the-dance-floor type of dancer, which was actually one of the things that set us apart. I liked not having to worry about stepping on someone's feet.

Fabian seemed to have realised that, gave Joy some odd looks, but otherwise did nothing.

That, right there was when I made my vow. By the time we go home, Fabian'll know the truth.

5 reviews before the next update.

More ideas please? Thanks!
