Okay... three is a start... thank you samcabral and the two anonymous reviewers who.. well reviewed! And the person who didn't post a name, I was already leaning towards that with Tim. Thanks for that suggestion though! Not only that, but Joy is also going to try to make Fabian jealous so that she can get him back, so time to introduce her "love interest"!

Nina's POV

As I walked into the classroom that day, I saw Joy sitting next to a boy whose name I couldn't remember. They seemed to be flirting with each other and I was kind of surprised! I always thought that she had a thing for Fabian, so it was actually a nice surprise because I wouldn't have to compete with her for Fabian's heart or something silly like that. So now that that problem was out of the way, all I needed to do was figure out how to tell him my true feelings. I'd have to ask Amber for some advice on that or something. But, anyways where was I? Oh yeah, Joy flirting with what's-his-face.

I smiled at them and sat down in my usual seat. Fabian arrived shortly afterward and took a moment to gawk at Joy and her new friend and then allowed a brief smile of relief to cross his face. Seems like I'm not the only one who's happy that Joy has a new boyfriend. Fabian slipped into the seat next to me and smiled at me in the most Fabian way. I love his smile and his obsession with plaid and... everything! Just everything about that boy is so... I don't know... cute! Now if only I could workup the nerve to actually say something like that to him. Fabian... I love you. The words sounded so good in my head. I love you. I love you, Fabian.

Why can't I just say that to him in person! I sighed and opened my book as Mr. Sweet began to drone on about something boring and much less important than Fabian. I glanced over at him and he smiled at me again. It was so hard to focus with him sitting so close to me!

I could almost feel someone shooting daggers at me from behind and I turned for a second to see Joy glaring at me. Wait what? I thought Joy was flirting with what's-his-face, and normal people flirt with people because they like them! Then, I remembered Amber's technique to get mick back: flirting with another boy. I would have to warn what's-his-face about Joy before he got too infatuated with her and she broke his heart.

Grr! Too many things were weighing on my mind now! Joy, what's-his-face, Fabian! Urgh! life is too complicated! Add the normal teenage problems like boy problems with Sibuna and all of the other mysteries and you've got a whole heck of a lot to think about!

The bell rung me out of my thoughts, and just in time too because if it hadn't then I would never have heard Fabian say, "So Joy and Daniel Barrett, who'd have thought?"

"I'm just relieved that she's not death glaring at me anymore!" I thought, though this was not entirely true.

"Yeah," Fabian laughed, "if looks could kill, you'd be dead by now and then who would I-" he cut himself off.

"Who would you what, Fabian?" I asked, hoping a little bit that he'd say something sweet like "love" or something but I didn't get them too high, because I had a feeling that he wouldn't

"Umm, who would I... who would I... love?" he asked shyly.

I gaped at him for a second and then I gave him a hug "Good thing looks can't kill, then." I murmured into his shirt.

He hugged me back, but of course, the moment had to be ruined by somebody!

"Aww," Amber said in a mushy tone, "Nina and Fabian finally confessed their undying love for each other!"

"I didn't say 'undying' did I?" Fabian asked, blushing.

"No, you didn't Amber was just trying to ruin the moment. And I worked!" I said pointedly.

"Oops, sorry!" she said, walking quick;y out the door.

Fabian and I smiled at each other for a second until Joy purposely bumped against me hard and said "Get a room!" very rudely and then strode off angrily

Daniel Barrett, or what's-his-face, ran after her asking her what that was all about and telling her that she didn't have to be so rude.

I sighed and gathered up my books and started for the door when Fabian pulled me back and gave me a long, slow kiss. I giggled like a little girl and we headed to our next class hand-in-hand.
