Guys I took the ACT today..gross. And yeah... I haven't updated for almost a month.. I guess I could give you guys all the excuses I really do have (the madness of a musical, all state honor choir, state festival-three out of four superiors!,-fundraiser planning for new york, plus trying desperately to keep myself up with my schoolwork (harder than you'd think when you miss six days in and out in the span of two weeks on BLOCK schedule in THREE math based classes.

But I'm going to just write.

Love you guys.

Eddie's POV: (then I am starting to wish I hadn't chosen Eddie..cuz like...how do you write Eddie?)

I'd wanted to go on the expedition to the Tank Room, but I knew there was some sentimental value to the "original Sibuna" and conceded, heading to my first lesson with a promise to cover for Fabian. Honestly, this was probably easier than one of us covering for three.

Easily I convinced Mrs. Denby that Fabian had gone to the nurse's this morning before school and then we waited. Patricia sat at my side, eyes lingering on the clock longer than normal. Understandably, all of Anubis House was shifting nervously in their seats. Well, not Willow, but she didn't know about the "great evil" we were all fighting against. Somehow we'd managed to weave our plans around the red head.

Denby's lesson got lost in a sea of thoughts as my pen tabbed anxiously against my notebook. I'd planned this whole thing with Nina coming back thing, yes. The Osiran and the Chosen One couldn't fail, right? But what if we did? Even with a whole arsenal on our side. We could still fail. What lays on the other side if we fail?

"Mr. Sweet!" Mrs. Denby yelled, suddenly jerking me from my thoughts. "Stop doing that."

I frowned, looking at Patricia for indication of what I'd been "doing" and said let out a shaky laugh, taking the pen from my hand and then lacing her fingers with my own.

"Thank you, Mrs. Williamson..as I was saying-" Denby started, but was cut off by the bell ringing harshly.

The Sibunas all exchanged an excited glance before vacating the room and dashing through the front doors. My hand drug Patricia behind me toward the tomb, the rush of our inner mob (Patricia, KT, Alfie and I) pushing forward through the grounds. We bounded toward the doors, dropping to a jog and I quickly shoved the door out of place. "Guys?" I called and it bounced back off the walls as we stepped inside.

There was a beat of silence and I got worried, but then I saw them, standing triumphantly in the back of the room in front of the tank. We erupted in laughter and high fives.

I grinned at them as I slapped each of their hands before declaring, "Point goes to Team Sibuna."

Fabian nodded, smiling a bit before looking around at the group. "But someone's got to stay and watch our little friend here till midnight."

Amber quickly raised her hand. "I volunteer Nina and I." She offered and Nina nodded in agreement.

I bit my lip a bit, nodding slowly. "Yeah, that's great. Um, KT, could you stay too? Power in numbers, right?" I figured it was better for everyone if he and Nina didn't engage in any "close" moments after what happened at the start of the term.

KT looked up at Nina who she'd only met last night and Amber who had brought the "new Sibuna" together before nodding quickly. "Yeah, I'll stay."

I smiled, patting her shoulder. "Thanks KT."

Fabian looked at his watch with a little frown. "Um, we've got to go, guys."

Slowly we filtered out of the tomb toward the school again, my hand still in Patricia's until we were sitting in my dad's class, starting a long, long day of waiting till midnight.

We're going to pretend it's Friday morning. :P
