Chapter 4
Micheal's POV

"Who was that you were talking to?" asked Lilly once we finally got to the school. We were sitting in the living room of Anubis house, the really old and creepy house we stayed in. We were sitting talking to all of our house mates. Conner, who shared a room with me and was the jock of the house. Tassie, the book lover. Adam and Aaron, the pranksters of the house. Anna, the peppy,beauty queen,who loved to match people up, and Jade, who was the kind of Gothic/ punk girl who was best friends with Lilly. "Oh just a friend who I met over the summer. We were just catching up and it turned out that she is going to a boarding school here. So ya just a friend." I said answering her question. Anna looked at me and nodded sceptically.

"Hello lovies!" said Trudy our house mother. We all got up and gave her a group hug.

"Hey Trudy!" we all said as we sat back down. Conner and Aaron looked up and silently pleaded with Trudy to start making dinner and Trudy said, "Yes lovies I will start making dinner, but first I have an announcement. First we will have a new student arriving and I want you to make her feel welcome. Its probably not fun to get up and leave your own country to come to a new one. She is American and she will be rooming in the attic. Her names Melody." but at that point my head shot straight up and I started to wonder if she was the Melody that I had met that day. So I sent her a text.

Hey, wht skool did u say u were goin 2?, I sent her using text speak.

Ummmm. Im not sure. let me check., she replied almost immediately.

Um its called something or other, im not sure, y? she texted back. I just took a random guess and sent a message telling her the name of my school and asking her if that was it.

Ya that's right, why do you want to know? she asked me again.

Nm wht house r u staying in? I asked ignoring the question.

Um something Egyptian. Anubis house I think, again why do you want to know? she asked again

"YES!" I said out loud and everyone looked at me and I looked down. Lilly didn't look happy with me because she saw who I was texting.

When we were eating dinner there was a knock on the door and Trudy went to go and answer it. "Hello sweetie! You must be Melody. I'm Trudy your house mother. Everyone's in here eating if you want to join in." said Trudy leading in a girl who I would probably remember for the rest of my life.

When Melody walked in every boy in the room jaw's dropped. She was that beautiful. With her long light brown hair that was wavy. Her piercing green eyes and a small tan. She wore skinny jeans and a plain old tee shirt, but she could make the simplest things beautiful. Even if I had just seen her a few hours ago it was like meeting her for the first time. She smiled a very small smile and said, "Hi. I'm Melody. Nice to meet you. Trudy is it ok if I go and unpack? I'm not that hungry." and Trudy nodded and Melody ran out of the room and up to the attic. All of us just stared at the spot on where she had been a moment ago.

"Well that was weird." said Anna and we all just nodded.

After dinner I went up to go and see if Melody needed any help unpacking. When I got to the door I could hear music playing really loudly coming from up there. I shook my head and went up. "Hey." I said coming up from behind her as she was putting things into her dresser. She jumped and hit her head on the dresser door.

"Dear God! You scared me! Don't do that again." she said rubbing her head. She hit me on the back playfully and we both laughed.

"I was just wondering if you needed any help?" I asked as she got up. Just then a slower song started to play and she started to sway back and forth.

"Sure. If you don't mind being in a creepy attic alone with an accident prone." she said and we both laughed. The slow song was still playing and we both kind of were dancing to it.

"No your dancing all wrong. Your supposed to dance like this." she said grabbing my hands and showing me how to dance. She put both of my hands on her waist and she put her arms around my neck and we both swayed gently back and forth. After that song was over we both just kept on dancing to whatever song played next. Pretty soon Victor called for lights out but we just kept on dancing.

When it was about 11:30 Anna came up to tell Melody to turn the music down and to go to bed, but she just stopped at the door way and watched us. We didn't notice her and on another impulse, just like before, I kissed Melody, but I made sure this one lasted longer. A whole 10 seconds longer. I was seeing big fireworks and I knew she was to. It was so good but all good things come to an end and Anna was our end.

"MICHEAL! Why are you kissing the newbie when you have a girlfriend!" whisper/yelled Anna. Melody pulled away from me and started blushing a lot. She turned her back on me and said really quietly, "Night Micheal. Nice to meet you Anna." Anna pulled me out of the room and into her and Tassie's.

"Micheal, what are you doing here so late at night?" asked Tassie. I shrugged and pointed to Anna.

"Micheal how dare you kiss the newbie while your dating Lilly!" said Anna glaring at me.

"Wait you did WHAT?" asked Tassie looking appalled. I shushed them.

"Please don't tell anyone! Besides Melody doesn't mean that much to me anyway. It was just one kiss, not like we've had more." I said and then I heard footsteps move really fast away from the door. Then the slow creak of the attic door.

"I gotta go. I'll see you all in the morning." I said regretting every word I had just said.
