Hey Guys and Girls! Thanks a BUNCH! The reviews are great, you guys are SO nice. I'm so surprised that people enjoy my story that much, thanks. So in the last chapter was pretty much the base of my story, as in the description of Amber's plan. And just so you guys know it was Amber's POV throughout the last chapter. This is like my first, second chapter of a story because I love this story the most so I'm updating this one first. I hope you like it! Guess we'll see. PM me if you guys need ideas or help with stories, I have a lot of ideas just haven't got the time between school and other ff for them so if you want them PM me. ~ Christina from karateC18

"I've come up with my decision."

Amber's POV

"Amber, I suppose that I could possibly grant you the honor of going through with your plans…if." I cut Mr. Sweet off, something I probably shouldn't have done but who cares.

"Soooo, does that mean?" I asked confused. Why do teachers have to use such big words?

"Well yes but you must get those signatures and those 3 adults or staff before I even think about this." He smiled but tried to look stern. I ran up and hugged him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I practically screamed. I let go and hugged Alfie.

"Well, I better be off but thank you for this opportunity Amber, I hope to see you with those papers in my office in the next week."

"Yep, will do Mr. Sweet! Bye!" I said as he left closing the door behind him.

I ran to Nina, Alfie, and Fabian. I quickly grabbed a piece of paper and a sparkly pen.

"Nina! Will you do the honor of being the first to sign?" I asked her.

"Hurtful!" Alfie whined. I shrugged.

"Like you had to ask." She said with a smile, taking the pen. Signing her name, she dotted her i's with hearts. She handed the pen to Fabian. Their hands slightly touching, after signing his name Fabian handed the pen to Alfie.

"Thank you guys so much!" I hugged them all. Then I got back into focus.

"OMG! Nina we need dresses! And shoes! And accessories! Of course we need to wear pink! But we don't want to clash so maybe red or mayb-"

"Amber, we need to get the signatures before we get dresses! Nina said.

"Ugh, okay. Dresses can wait but dates, can't! If it doesn't work out, at least we'll know who we're spending Valentines Day with! I told her, looking at Alfie.

"Whatever, I have a headache, I'm gonna take a walk. Anyone wanna come?" Nina asked, rubbing her temples.

"May I?" Fabian asked.

"Course." They both smiled and walked out the door, after putting on their winter coats.

Nina's POV

"So Nina." Fabian said to me.

"So Fabian." I giggled.

"Are you excited for Ambers plan?"

"Well yeah but I'm kinda dreading it."

"And why's that?" We took a seat on a bench near the library.

"Just the fact that there's an opportunity of getting my hopes up, just to be let down, you know." I told him, looking at everything but him.

"In what way?" He asked moving closer to me.

"Well it would be completely embarrassing not to get any cards or flowers when my best friends and probably every other girl gets a ton. And knowing past February 14th's that's exactly how it'll go." I told him, still looking away from his big bright deep blue eyes.

As soon as I looked at him he rolled his eyes.

"What?" I asked, knowing exactly what he was rolling his eyes for.

"Oh, just the fact that a beautiful, intelligent, clever, mystery-solving, funny, gorgeous girl could be so unconfident in herself." He stated.

"You think I'm unconfident?" I asked, half offended half amazed by the things Fabian thought of me.

"About yourself and Valentines Day, yes you are." Fabian told me.

"So, it's not like I'm Amber! I'm not even close to being even like a model when I'm pretty sure she'll turn out to be one, so I think I have the right to be insecure about myself! Especially on VALENTINES DAY, the day based on love when I don't have any!" I started to yell, standing up and walking away.

"Nina, wait!" Fabian said, softly grabbing my arm with his hand.

"What! Do you want to tell me that my American accent is stupid and I should just go home because there's no place for me here when Joy gets back!" I yelled but quietly, trying not to attract attention.

"Is that what this is about?" He asked.

"What. Joy. Duh, I'm not stupid you know. Sooner or later she's gonna come back and just take my place at the house so what's the point of me staying if it's gonna just hurt me more in the future!" I yelled, not caring who heard.

"Nina! Stop it! Just stop it!" Fabian said trying to calm me down.

"Why? What's the point!"

"The point is I would probably die if you left! As would Amber, then Alfie because of Amber, then Jerome because of Alfie, then Patricia because of Jerome, then Mara because of Patricia, and then Mick! I'm not sure if you've noticed but you have changed each of our lives in someway, but either way it was for the good!" He said loudly. He wrapped his arms around me embracing me in a hug. A hug that calmed me down. A hug I never want to end.

"Then why am I so insecure and stupid?" I asked, releasing myself from his warm arms.

"Everyone is insecure in some way and you are NOT stupid." Fabian said looking at me directly in the eye. I felt like I was going to melt.

"Stop doing that!" I smiled.

"What? What am I doing?" Fabian asked playfully still looking at me.

"That! Looking at me right in the eye!" I laughed.

"Oh, so now you're laughing at me after telling me to stop looking at you all after yelling at me! Well that's unacceptable!" Fabian said as if I offended him and then started tickling me.

If only I didn't tell him I was seriously ticklish.

"Stop!" I giggled.

"Sorry no can do." He laughed chasing me around a tree.

Somewhere in the matter of 5 minutes of chasing and falling. I was laying on the cold wet ground and Fabian was next to me and his arms were around me.

"I'm cold." I whispered into his ear, and then started shivering.

"Well maybe this will warm you up." Fabian said smoothly.

Not another cliffy! Sorry. I hope to get as many reviews or more this time. Tell me what you thought. Thanks. Who knows Nina may have a song in her. Until next time! ~ auf Wiedersehen (good bye/ bye/ see ya in German) Christina
