Chapter 5:
I woke up at 6:20. I got downstairs and again only Fabian was downstairs with Trudy. He asked me where I was. I answered calmly that I was busy. Trudy came over and told him I was helping with the old people. I looked for my locket when I remembered I left it upstairs. I excused myself after I finished eating and went upstairs. I looked all around when I turned around it was in Amber's hand. She asked me what it was. I said it was the last thing I got from my father. She gave it back and went to open the door. I said please don't tell ANYONE. She nodded and went out the bedroom door. I put my locket on under my shirt and got my bag. I went back downstairs and Fabian was there. Do you fancy a walk to school with me? He asked. I giggled, I would like that. He smiled and opened the door. While we walked to school we talked about house Mates and things we thought were funny. We finally got to school. We entered our first class and I took a seat next to him. He smiled and we talked some more. Then the other house Mates came in and took their seats. Finally Joy and Patricia walk into the door. She stops by my seat. Your in my seat. Joy says. Sorry. I say and I was about to get up when Fabian pushes me back down. Joy can't you find another seat? There is more than one in this classroom. He says. She huffs and walks away with Patricia. Wow. That was nice. I look over and smile at him. He smiles back. Mrs. Andrews comes in and says, hello class looks like N-Alexandria decided to show up. Joy raised her hand. Why did you say N? She asked. No reason. Mrs. Andrews said. Joy shot me a glare. Trying to figure me out? I asked her. She stopped glaring. Mrs. Andrews kept talking on and on. A note landed in my lap. It read why did she start your name with a N? -F. I wrote back tell you later. Old folks home bring no one. I put it in his lap and he nodded his head, pretending to nod to Mrs. Andrews. He flashed me a smile so I was sure. Soon the bell rang. I tried paying attention but I couldn't it was to hard to focus she was boring. Good thing I asked Fabian to tutor me before. The rest of the classes went by fast. I was walking up to the old folks home pretty fast. When I got there, Fabian wasn't there. Instead Joy was. What are you doing here Joy? I said. I knew you would be here to check on the old lady and I want to know why Mrs. Andrews started your name with a N. She said. Listen Joy I have no idea. Why don't you ask her your self. I said innocently. I've tried that she told me it was a Mishap. But I don't believe it. She said. Well I don't know why you wouldn't. If that's what she said than it must be true. I said. Afterwards, Fabian walked in. What are you doing here Joy? He asked utterly confused. I was just getting to know Alex. She said brightly. Well if you excuse us me and Alex have to talk about something. He said. Why can't you talk about it while I'm in the room? She asked less brightly. Because this is between me and Fabian and it has nothing to do with you. I said plainly. She rolled her eyes and left. Fabian lets go outside. I said scared Joy would ease drop. Ok. He said. So we were walking around and I told him, I'm so sorry. I lied about my real name. I am Not Alexandria, my Middle name isn't Nina. I am Nina Martin. I said. Why did you lie? He asked. Back home I am a pop star. I didn't want people to like me for the stuff. I didn't want people to treat me differently. I just wanted to be normal. Oh is all he said. I'm sorry, but all the things other than that, that I said I meant. Like the sightseeing was one of the best days of my life.
Fabian's pov:
Wow, she trusts me with her biggest secret. I feel sorry for her. Now I know why she didn't want Joy to hear. If anyone found out she was Nina Martin she would have to go back home. I like her even more. I feel like I need to protect her. From Joy, she would put it on the internet and paparazzi will find her. We got to the house hand in hand. I didn't realize it either. I opened the door for her then led her to my room. She didn't understand why until I opened my books. Oh right I forgot about it. She said. Ok so lets start on number 1. -supper time- Thank you Fabian I know this now. That's another reason. If I was you know who then I would get grades I don't deserve. We better go to supper. She said. I closed my book and opened the door. She left then I followed behind her. When Alex and I got to the dinning room we took our normal seats. While we were eating I reached my hand under the table. She noticed and grabbed it. The supper went by quiet. Alex and I were the first ones done. We were on dish duty. So we put our plates in the sink. One by one everyone else finished. Joy being last. She dropped the plate when Alex held her hand to take it. Alex screamed in pain. I didn't understand why until I saw the scrape on her leg. It was already bloody. I yelled for Trudy. She came in and said oh dear. She went into the cab net and pulled out a first aid kit. I helped Alex to the couch and put a rag on it. She smiled at me gratefully. When I took off the rag, I could see glass. Trudy there is glass. I said. Alex looked worried. Trudy got her tweezers. I held Alex's hand. She has a strong grasp. Soon all the glass was out of it and Trudy wrapped it up. I decided to finish the dishes and let Alex just lay there. She started to object but I cut her off.
