THE NEXT MORNING.
"Umm Nolan," Fabian said after he returned to his room from taking a shower. "Listen about last night-"
"What about last night?" Nolan asked curiously.
"Sorry about the you-know," Fabian said motioning his hands and face to not say what happened but hint it.
"The what?" Nolan asked again. "Your snoring?" Nolan teased.'
"Uhh no the thing that happened between us." Fabian said.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Nolan said dazed.
And it was that that made Fabian realized Nolan wasn't trying to deny that the makeout had happened but that it really didn't happen.
Fabian thought back deep to last night and had realized that it was only a dream.
A very vivid dream he might add.
IN THE KITCHEN.
"Fabian!" Amber called as Fabian entered the kitchen.
"Sibuna reunion, midnight in the attic." Amber whispered in his ear.
"Do you want me to tell Nina and Patricia?" Fabian asked.
"Don't bother I already told them just tell Alfie." Amber said.
"Well what about Jerome?" Fabian asked. "I feel kind of bad becausew he did kind of help us a lot last term and we haven't really been treating him like a Sibuna and I think he really wants to be one and we should really let him in for good." Fabian said.
"Fine, fine bring Jerome to but he still needs to pass the iniation." Amber said.
"Got it." Fabian said as he ran out to go to Jerome and Alfies room. On his way out he nearly bumped right into Nolan as he was walking into the kitchen.
"Sorry Nolan." Fabian said avoiding eye-contact.
"What's with him?" Nolan asked Amber as he began to grab his food."
Amber paused for a moment. "Uhhh...he's just getting his uhhhh lucky textbook!" Amber finished.
"Lucky textbook?" Nolan asked confused.
"Yeah he uhh brings it with him on the first day of every school year," Amber said more confident this time. "It's a superstition thing." Amber finished.
"Gotcha." Nolan said.
IN SCHOOL.
"And that is your locker," said guiding Nolan over to his new locker that was right next to Fabian's.
"Thanks sweetie." Nolan said as he opened his lockers and began to put his stuff in it.
"You are to refer to me only as ," said sternily.
"Whatever you say ..." Nolan said just as was turning to leave. "ie." Nolan finished.
Nolan put his bag into his locker and grabbed all the stuff he would need for his first period class which would be Government Prepartions with .
was at her desk organizing all her files and papers while having her computer monitor on and clicking and typing on it as well.
All the students were entering the room one by one picking any seat to sit at .
Amber sat with Nina. Jerome with Alfie. Patricia with Joy. And then a few other house students sat down with each other. Fabian sat down at the front of the room with nobody by his side and began to take out all his class materials from his bag.
Just as he was doing this Mara entered the room.
"Hey Fabian do you mind if I sit here?" Mara asked.
"No no not at all," Fabian said.
"Look at the two braniacs are sitting together this can't end well." Jerome called from behind them as Alfie, Patricia, and Joy burst out in laughter.
"Hilarous Jerome," Fabian said without looking back.
Just then went to the front of her desk and looked at all the students.
"All right then," said. "Welcome back everyone I hope you all had a nice summer break, but now it's time to get right back at it," Ms. Andrews said as half the class, including and espeically Jerome and Alfie groaned.
"Groan all you want it's not gonna change the fact that we have work to do, but I can guarantee this, this year will defiantly be more exciting than last year." said putting an emphasis on exciting.
"Now if you'll all takeout your notebooks I got a couple of diagrams I want you to copy," said.
IN THE HALLWAY.
Nolan had heard about the student lounge from all the students but he couldn't wait until after first block to check it out so he decided to skip the first half of first block to check it out and he confirmed that it was as cool as everyone said it was and more.
Nolan was lying on the couch eating chips and listening to music for about 15 minutes when he heard a voice call after him.
"Nolan Monnett." the voice called him as he took of his headphones and looked to find the owner of the voice.
"Aren't you supposed to be in class?" the voice asked sternfully.
"I don't know am I?" Nolan said carelessly.
"You know the rules, now since this is your first year and day I will write you a pass." the voice said.
"This time." The voice said more seriousness in his tone.
"Thanks sweetie." Nolan said grabbing the pass and walking out.
CLASS.
Nolan opened the door a tad slowly just as Ms. Andrews was going through a presentation with the lights off.
"Ah you must be, Nolan." said. "You have earned yourself a first day detention for coming in 20 minutes late." she finished.
"I'm good with that." Nolan said rudely looking dead in the eye.
"Well I'm sorry but it's not your choice to make unless of course you have a pass from ."
Nolan grinned evilely as he reached into his pocket and held up a pass signed by Sweet with a huge grin on his face.
"I think this will do," Nolan said as he handed the pass to and took a seat in the back of the room.
As he was going to his seat all of the students were staring at him and Alfie whispered to him .
"You are good," he said as Nolan's grin grew.
"Right then let us continue," Ms. Andrews said.
AFTER CLASS.
Nolan and Joy were the first ones to walk out and the two were talking to each other as they both left the classroom and to the lounge.
"You made quite an entrance," Amber said smiling at Nolan.
"I try," Nolan said with a smirk?" Amber asked.
"No I don't like to overdo things." Nolan said.
AFTER SCHOOL.
MIDNIGHT.
ATTIC.
"Sibuna," Nina said putting her right hand over her right eye as everyone else recited in harmony.
"So guys check this out," Patricia said showing the Sibunas an obituary list. "Read the top-right one."
"Rene Zeldman." Fabian read.
"Wait." Jerome said. "That means that Rufus is-"he said being interrupted.
"DEAD."Alfie yelled.
"Thank God." Jerome said.
All the sibunas talked about this and chatted about everything else as the chowed down to the food that Jerome and Alfie brought up to the attic. Just as the were conversing the heard footsteps coming from close to the attic door.
"Is that Victor?" Nina asked.
"Quick everyone hide." Fabian whisepered as everyone scurried to find a hiding place.
Just as everyone was hidden the attic door began to squeek open just as a figure entered the attic. He looked around for a minute and chuckeled at seeing the blanket full of food and beverages.
"Guys you can come out now," the figure called to everyone. "I'm not Victor.
The Sibunas got out of their hiding spots when they were sure that they were safe.
"Nolan?" Fabian asked. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I realized you left our room and I saw Jerome and Alfie carrying loads of snacks walking up to the attic so I thought I'd crash your little party." Nolan said taking a bite out of one of the sandwhiches.
"By the way," Nolan begun as everyone began to sit down again. "Who is this Rene and why are you guys so glad she's dead?" Nolan asked looking tentively at everyone.
"He," Jerome corrected.
"He?" Nolan asked laughing. "Rene's a girl name," Nolan said.
"Yeah we know," Patricia added.
"Well then, that's strange," Nolan said.
"There's alot of things that are strange about him Nolan." Amber added.
"I bet,''
All the kids continued with their conversations and eating all the snacks they kid when the heard a brood voice yell from below them.
"WHO'S UP THERE?" Victor yelled.
"YOU HAVE TO THE COUNT OF TEN TO GET DOWN HERE." Victor yelled again as he began to count.
"What are we going to do?" Fabian whispered to everyone.
"Don't worry I got this." Nolan whispered telling everybody to stay where they were. He then grabbed a wooden baseball back and ran down the steps.
"Yo Victor there's a huge rat in the kitchen I had to get something to kill it with. You gotta help me out come on." Nolan said as he dragged Victor along.
Fabian and Nina smiled greatly to each other.
"This kid is brilliant." Jerome said as the rest of the kids ran to their rooms. Fabian had grabbed the blankets with all the snacks and was the last one to leave.
IN THE KITCHEN
"Where is it?" Victor asked losing his patience.
"I don't know I swear it was right there." Nolan said putting with a baseball bat.
"Do you play me as a fool?" Victor asked coming closer to Nolan.
Nolan saw Fabian run into their room and realized everyone was safe.
"Victor dude you gotta clean your teeth more." Nolan said backing away. "Anyway I better get to sleep," Nolan said patting Victor on the shoulder as he walked to his room.
