Chapter 5

Sorry I haven't written in so long! School started a while ago, and I have a TON of homework! Oh well…

Disclaimer- I don't own HOA.

I have a poll on my profile, if you could take it that would be nice. Wow, almost 300 readers and only 7 reviews! Woo-hoo. Anyways, onto the story!

Fabians POV-

Nina somehow stopped crying and we were on our way downstairs for breakfast. As we walked down the stairs, everyone stared. How long were we up there? Amber was crying, weird. Mara just looked sad. Mick stared at his toast. Jerome just kept flicking blueberries at Alfie. Alfie just sat there. Patricia stared, expressionless. That's when everything got better. Nina walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, smiling. I followed, trying to see what was up. Nina told me her "plan" for exposing us to Anubis house. I thought it was honestly worth the work. Well, actually, it was no work at all. Unless you start implying the laws of physics, and no work with- QUIT IT FABIAN YOU'RE SUCH A NERD! Well, we grabbed some leftovers from the fridge and sat down in our usual spots. Alfie was the first to speak up. "Thank the Gods! I thought Nina was abducted by aliens or something!"

Then Mick decided to make things hard and add, "Why did Alfie just say 'Thanks the Gods'? Aren't you supposed to say 'Thank God'?"

Nina said, "I don't know. Probably just Alfie being Alfie." The way she said it was believable, so believable it was scary. Maybe she worked on saying that, or maybe she's just a good- no, she's a horrible liar. Mick and Mara even know that. All of Sibuna shot her a quick glance of disbelief, even Alfie and I, but went back to eating before Mick and Mara noticed. That's when Nina threw her banana at me.

"Ow!" I yelled, but she just smiled triumphantly and continued eating. What was up with Nina? Maybe she heard the 'voices' again.

Anyways, I got her back by throwing my orange at her. Then Jerome yelled, "Food Fight!" and Nina and I ducked under the table.

"It's working," she said, we both smiled, to see Alfie duck under the table too.

"What are you guys doing down here? You're the ones that started this mess," he yelled, but he was whispering.
