Thank you to all of you who took the time to review, I tried to reply to all of you and will continue to do the same! This chapter is dedicated to my first three reviewers ever, JessIsTheBest, FabianRutterFan, and fabinalove. It is also dedicated to my friend Clea, the only other person I know in the real world who likes House of Anubis! Go Fabina! So without further ado, this is chapter 2!

Chapter 2

He stopped, shock written all over his face. "What did you just say?" he asked, turning to face me.

I turned away, a blush creeping up my face. I tried to run away, so he wouldn't see, but he grabbed my arm, and pulled me back towards him.

"Nina," he said. "What did you say?"

I had no choice but to respond. He held my arm in a vice-like grip, so I couldn't run. Who knew Fabian was that strong?

With a trembling voice, I told him. That I called him hot. I turned away, not wanting to see his face when he understood, not wanting to see the rejection.

He took my face gently in one of his hands, and turned my head slowly to face him. "Nina," he said, speaking softly. "You know, I don't think you're hot".

I did know. This was why I never acted before. The only friend I had in this whole country, gone, over a stupid spur-of-the-moment lapse in control of my mouth.

But what he said next changed everything. "Nina," he said. "I think, and have done ever since I first saw you, that you are totally and completely beautiful."
