Chapter 2-

Disclaimer- I don't own H.O.A.

Fabian's P.O.V.-

Nina ran into the clearing. I guess she knew it was me who gave her that note. She didn't see me, so I tapped on her shoulder. I took a few steps back as she turned around.

"Fabian!" She yelled do loud, even I jumped.

"Yeah, it's me," I replied to her.

"So, what'd you call me here for?"

"I been meaning to tell- no, not tell, more like- well, um, Nina, will you go out with me?" I said the last part really fast. Oh my God, what did I just ask my best friend? Well, good- bye to our friendship.

"Yes," she said.

"Yes, wait. Yes?" Wow, really dumb question. Way to go, Fabian.

"Yes!" She yelled again, making me jump, again. She ran into me, trying to give me a hug, but we both fell over.

"Oh, sorry Fabian," she said, while pulling some leaves out of my hair. That reminded me of when I went through the bushes trying to find Victor's spare attic key.

~ Flashback ~

"Sorry, this all just takes some getting used to," I flung my backpack off and jumped into the bushes when she said that, in an attempt to look for Victor's key.

"But this is weird, even for England," she said, trying to hold back a laugh.

"No, no, I'm just looking for something," I replied to her, and continued my little search.

"That much I got, what are you looking for?"

"Wait, hang on, hang on," I was in the middle of my sentence when Nina said "I'm hanging," and then Alfie and Jerome came running by, Jerome chasing Alfie trying to get his shoes that Alfie was running away with.

"Yes!" I yelled, and pulled myself out of the bushes. I walked up to Nina and held up the key, saying "I got it," while she pulled some leaves out of my hair.

"Unless you wanted that there," she told me, laughing.

"I think this," I said, holding up the key, "needs to get back into Victor's key box before it's missed," I said.
