Daniel spun round to see Jake pacing up and down. "Her parents probably just picked her up" he told Jake "lots of people decide they miss their parents". The receptionist came back with the record and put them on the table, she had also bothered to get Jake a glass of water since he was so pale. Ever since he heard the scream and saw the blood, he refused to speak and stayed in his room for the rest of the evening and I was only when Daniel told him that they were going to find out what had happened to Holly, did he get up and leave his room.
They had been waiting at least twenty minutes to find Holly's file and then her reason for absence. "Well she hasn't left; her parents have just taken her out of school to go to a funeral" the receptionist. Daniel smiled at this; if Holly was dead whoever took her would have said she was leaving permanently. Jake on the other hand didn't look happy, he didn't know where she was, whether or not she was alive or even if she loved him.
"At least we know she's alive" said Daniel as they walked out of the office.
"How do you know she wasn't going to her funeral? And if she wasn't dead she's probably never coming back" shouted Jake angry at Daniel for seeming happy at the fact he seemed happy enough, even though she wasn't there.
"What's gotten into you, we are going to find her Jake" Daniel said as they walked over to Fabian.
Fabian was staring into space as Joy went on and on about her kidnapping. She never seemed to shut up about it and but today it didn't matter as all he could think about was her he couldn't seem to even say her name without his heart dropping as he remembered what she said "Fabian, I'm sorry but I only ever liked you as a friend, I mean we were never actually dating, more like messing about right?" he was so sure she felt the same way, clearly not. At least he had Joy, she was pretty, smart and everyone had expected them to go out but she wasn't Nina, and she never would be, something he would have to accept. She didn't have Nina's cute American accent, or her kindness, or her amazing voice or her ability to make him smile whatever, whenever.
"So do you want to?" Joy asked
"Im sorry, what?" Fabian said
"You weren't even listening, god Fabian" said Joy as she stormed off
"What did she say?" Fabian asked Daniel and Jake as they were nearby.
"She asked you to the prom" Daniel told Fabian who had slipped into a trance as he saw Nina walk past.
Nina knew she would have to get to class somehow and since going past her old house was the only way, so she took a breath, closed her eyes and silently prayed he wasn't there, but of course he was. She saw with look at her with disgust as if she was garbage to him. So she carried on walking, ashamed at what she had done last night.
Fabian saw her notice him and just look away as if she didn't care than he was heartbroken, that he had been thinking back to all the time they spent together, wondering if she ever felt something for him. She just walked past him not even waving or smiling or something. Screw her, I have Joy and she's ten times better than Nina will ever be he thought as he made his way to class. Screw her.
Although they were not in the same house they still has Drama together and Fabian thought of a perfect revenge, they had choice of what to perform, a scene of a play or a song. So Fabian got out his guitar and begun to play and sing but slower than the original:
I see you driving round town,
With the girl I love and I'm like,
Forget you,
Oo,oo,oooo
I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough, I'm like,
Forget you,
And forget her too,
Said, if I was richer, id still be with ya,
Ha, aint that some shhh,
And although there's pain in my chest,
I still wish you the best with a...
Forget you,
Oo,oo,ooo
At this point Mr Winkler had stopped Fabian and asked to have a word with him. "You can't do take out all this emotion in class, I'm disappointed in you Fabian"
"All I did was sung a damn song, what's the problem in that" Fabian said getting his phone out and texting someone.
"Fabian, seriously what is going on, why you are acting so childish, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to give you a detention "Mr Winkler asked wondering why Fabian was acting so cocky and stupid "Speaking of which have you seen Nina?" at which Fabian stormed out. Mr Winkler caught up to Nina to tell her that her schoolwork simply wasn't good enough recently and that she would a detention.
Meanwhile Jake was packing his stuff up into a backpack and getting a bottle of water, he had been waiting for a taxi for ten minutes and was getting more and more impatient. He knew she was alive, he just knew she was. He could hear the taxi outside so grabbed his stuff and went to go find her, however long it would take. He told the driver to take him to the town centre; if he couldn't find her at least he could get a room at a bed and breakfast. He knew Daniel would want to go come, but he really couldn't deal with Daniel, and when he found her he was going to tell her he loved her.
"Fabian, what is wrong with you? Why are you acting like a douche?" Asked Mick when he finally caught up with Fabian
"Just letting her know exactly how I feel about her" said Fabian, ever since last night we was angry, aggressive and just plain mine. He was making up for four years of being "a nice guy" in one morning and pretty much everyone was annoyed with him, except Mick who knew what had happened, and even he was getting sick of it.
"Stop acting like a bloody child and get over it, so we were all wrong and she doesn't like you, so what" said Mick getting angrier and angrier with every word Fabian said.
"Because fricken I love her okay! I didn't just tell her I liked her and she said she wanted to stay friends, I told her I loved her and she said she thought we were just fooling around, do you know how that feel? I told her I loved her Mick"
"Told who you loved them?" said Joy from behind them
"Nobody" said Fabian "nobody, it doesn't matter" He needed somebody to make Nina jealous and Joy was perfect, she and Nina never got on because they were such opposites. All houses were going to the same prom so she would be there when he arrived with Joy on his arms. "Hey Joy, you wanna go prom together?" he said proud of his plan.
"kay, we should coordinate our colours so we match and..."Joy said, Fabian wasn't listening to the rest of what she was saying , because frankly he couldn't care less all that mattered was that Nina would be so jealous of him.
