At dinner

Nina POV

"So, who's sharing with who this year?" Mick asked at the dinner table.

"Me, Mara and Willow. And Amber, Patricia, KT and Nina." Joy answered.

"Cool." He said.

"Who are you with?" Joy asked Mick.

"Alfie and Jerome. Fabian and Eddie have their room." Mick explained.

"Ah, okay." Joy said. They carried on their conversation from across the table while everybody else was silent. I looked at Patricia and smirked. She did the same. I looked around at everyone and they were all smirking too.

"So, Pixie." Eddie started. "What did you do this summer?"

"Me and Piper went on holiday to France together." Patricia answered.

"Ah, cool. Where abouts?" Amber asked. We all started a conversation together (minus Joy and Mick who were oblivious to all of us and the fact that we were talking).

"Nina. What about you?" KT asked.

"Ermm... well me and my brother played on the beach quite a lot, surfing and sun bathing for the first few weeks. Then he went on holiday for the last four and I didn't see him." I said.

"Brother?" Jerome asked. "You don't have a brother." He pointed out.

"Er, brother? I didn't say brother did I?" I asked trying to cover it up. He nodded. "I ment to say my friend Maia, and her brother. Yeah, me and my friend were still swimming and playing on the beach and stuff though when he was gone." I faked.

"Okayyyyyy..." Jerome trailed off.

"Soooooooo, Amberrrrrr..." Alfie said, coping Jerome. "What did you do this sumer?..."

After dinner

"Let's watch a movie." KT suggested when we where all sat down on the sofas again.

"Yeah!" We all agreed.

"Okay. Which one?" Fabian asked.

"A romantic film, or a chick - flic." Amber suggested. The boys refused this.

"Action movie?" Mick said.

"Sci-fi." Willow said.

"Comedy!" Alfie bellowed.

"Scary film." Eddie said. Jerome seconded this. They both high fived.

"Adventure!" I said. I got lots of agreements to this.

"Alright." Fabian said. "Hands up for Ambers chick - flic rubbish? No offence Amber." Amber flung her hand up. "One. Nope. Sorry Ambs. Action movie?" Mick.

"One. No, sorry Mick. Comedy?" Alfie's hand flew straight up. "One. Sorry Alfie. Scary film?" Eddie, Jerome and Willow voted. "Three. Okay, adventure movie?" My hand went up along with Trixie's, KT's, Mara's, Joy's and Fabian's. "That's six. Adventure film it is." Fabian concluded.

"Okay how about... A classic Indiana Jones film?" Patricia suggested.

"Yes!" Fabian said.

"Yeah!" Everyone agreed to this. Eddie picked up the remote and turned the TV on. Jerome handed him a disk which he got from the case from the film rack behind the door. Eddie pushed it into the DVD player and sat back on the sofa.

"Wait! Not now!" I said. Everyone looked at me. "You can't watch a classic Indie film like this!" I said.

"Well how do we watch it then?" Willow asked.

"Popcorn, chocolate, sweets, blankets... You have to be comfortable." I explained. Eddie paused the film.

"Alright then." He said grinning. "Go get pyjamas on guys and you duvets and pillows or whatever you want. Me and Nina will sort out the living room so it's Indie watching suitable." He said grinning wider. The others smirked and jumped up and ran out the room chuckling at me. I grinned. Once they were all out I shut the door.

"You almost let it slip. Nice cover story though. Have I met this friend Maia?" Eddie said grinning. I rolled my eyes. "I knew you were gonna do this." He said.

"What?" I asked.

"Need the place like a home cinema." He explained.

"It's a habit." I defended.

"I know, I know." He said laughing. "Come on. We'd better start moving these sofas and stuff before they come down." Eddie said. I agreed. We set to work moving stuff around and Eddie went off to make some of his classic homemade syrup popcorn while I made myself a pillow den on the floor I could lie in. Eddie came back with three bowls of popcorn.

"Can I have some Ed?" I asked.

"Sure my Ninjary friend." He said offering me a bowl. I took a piece then put the bowl down next to my pillow den. Eddie stood by the door while I nipped up stairs and changed and I grabbed my duvet then ran down stairs again and stood outside the door while I waited for him. Alfie, Jerome, Mick, Joy and Willow came down while he was gone.

"You can't go in yet." I said. "Everyone together." Eddie came back with his duvet and Fabian behind him. Patricia, Amber, Mara and KT cam down after. "Ready?" I asked everyone. They nodded. Eddie and I opened the living room doors. The others stepped inside. We had moved the sofas so they were both in front of the TV in a line and the arm chair was next to the sofas.

"Woah. This is actually pretty cool." Jerome admitted smiling.

"Thanks." Eddie and I answered. They all headed for spots on the sofas. I jumped over the sofas and dived for my den. I grinned as I got there before anyone else. I snuggled down on the pillows and wrapped myself up in my duvet. The others sat on the sofas and the bean bags around me. Eddie pressed play and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom started playing.

At the part the part where the beetles try to eat Indie and the others but end up eating the Russian guys

"Eww..." Amber squealed. "That's gross." Alfie grinned as she turned her head and put it on his shoulder. He put his arm around her shoulders comfortingly.

"Cool." Patricia said staring at the screen. Eddie laughed at her.

End of the movie

Patricia POV

"Ergh! That was like totally gross!" Amber said.

"It wasn't that bad." Joy answered.

"Yeah, because you had Mick." Amber retaliated.

"And? You had Alfie." Joy pointed out. Amber stuck her tongue out at her.

"I love Indiana Jones!" Eddie and Nina said at the same time. Nina looked at him and grinned. Eddie winked. I hit him.

"Hey! What was that for?" He shouted.

"For flirting with Nina." I said.

"What? Eww... that's gross. As if I would flirt with her!" Eddie defended.

"Ergh! I would never date him! That's disgusting!" Nina shouted. I rolled my eyes at them.

Then Trudy came in.

"Right my lovelies. Bedtime." She said.

"Bedtime?" Jerome asked. "We're all seventeen, we don't have a bedtime."

"IT IS ELEVEN O'CLOCK! YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES AND THEN I WANT TO HEAR A PIN DROP!" Victor yelled. We stared around at each other then jumped up and picked up all our pillows and duvets. Eddie and Nina pushed the sofas back to their normal position. Nina grabbed all the pillows off the floor from her "den" and stuffed them on the sofas. We all dashed out of the living room, Jerome running into the kitchen to ditch the popcorn bowls, and ran to our rooms.

We got up the stairs and Amber, KT, Nina and I ran into our room and lept onto our beds and hide under our duvets trying to muffle our giggles. I succeeded by stuffing my fist into my mouth but the other three couldn't fit theirs in their mouths. I have years of practice.
