I don't own anything, by the way. ;)
The next day, I got up earlier than usual because of Fabian accidentally dropping his books. "Sorry." He whispered. Groaning, I got up, and did my daily routine. Mick warned me that Jerome always uses up all the hot water in the morning, so better shower at night than get ice cold, and I do mean ice cold 'cause seriously, you can sometimes see frost, water.
So when I got out, Patricia, Nina, Fabian, Amber, Jerome and Alfie (I like to call them Tweedledum, Jerome, and Tweedledee, Alfie) were eating. So I sat down. Amber asked where Mick was, I answered, "Oh, he's with Mara in our room." "What?" She demanded.
"Green-eyed monster alert." Jerome smirked. "Jealous? I'm not jealous. What's there to be jealous of?" Amber retorted. "Yeah. She's just helping him with homework and stuff." Fabian added. "I would help him myself, but I'm just so busy." Amber said, with a hair flick. Jerome mimicked her, we all laughed.
We talked for a while, or rather, they all talked while I was busy making sure I ate enough to get me though lunch and dinner-er, supper, when they got to the topic about Nina's initiation.
"You're going up in the attic?" Amber asked. "Yeah. I mean, it's not like it's-" Amber butted in. "Totally haunted." Then they said a few more things which I ignored since it sounded boring, then Patricia said something about stealing a key from Victor since you couldn't really get in without a key.
So after classes (I skipped like half of them, Tweedledum and Tweedledee came with me since they didn't really want to do French), Patricia, Nina, Alfie, Jerome and I stayed outside Victor's office. Fabian wanted to come, but if there were too many students outside, Victor would suspect.
So anyway, we were outside. They were explaining to Nina how Victor has the master keys, but there's a spare of every key hanging on the wall. Then Victor noticed us. We all panicked.
"What are you all doing out here?" He demanded. "We were just, uh…" Even Jerome couldn't think of anything. "We were just admiring your coat! Is it vintage?" Nina said. Honestly, it was the stupidest excuse I had ever heard. And that includes the 'My family had no food to eat, so we had to eat my homework with some salt and pepper for dinner' excuse.
"Just as I though. This floor, it could use a po-polish." Alfie said lamely. Victor stared at him, then at us. "Well then, please feel free to polish it, Mr. Lewis." He said. Patricia, Jerome and I held back laughs. When Nina saw that they were down, she immediately got the set of keys and went to the cabinet the spare keys were in. (A/N Please excuse my words. And, I really don't know what it was called, so I'll just say it was a cabinet.) Patricia was staring at her like, the nerve of this unworthy creature. But of course, that's just what I assumed.
"Ow, Alfie! Such a pain!" Amber screamed. Nina came out, still holding the massive set of keys. Victor was already halfway up the stairs. Nina went back inside and placed the keys on the desk, and was about to get out, when she was hijacked, that is to say, tripped, because of Corbiere.
Patricia smirked at her. "Nina Martin, what do you think you're doing?" Victor asked. "Uh, I was…I was getting a closer look at Corbiere! I'm sort of an amateur…taxidermist?" She improvised. "Get out! And don't let me catch you in my office ever again!" Victor yelled.
Now Vicky, no need to get angry. I smirked. Sure, we won't let you see us go in your office.
Nina held out the key. "Lucky, very lucky." Jerome commented. "Let's just see how lucky she is tomorrow night when she goes up in that attic." Patricia snarled.
When I got back to my room, Mick was staring at something on his palm. "What's this?" I asked, getting the thing, a bracelet, from his palm. "Amber gave it back because I gave the same thing to Mara." Mick said glumly. "Why exactly did you give Mara the same thing you gave Amber? It's not the smartest thing to do." I said, giving it back. Fabian was playing his guitar. (A/N Guitar, scales, whatever. I'm really confused with what he's really playing, so let's just go with guitar. No more questions.) He piped up. "That's what I said!" Mick groaned, lying back down on his bed.
All the students were up at midnight, well, except Mick. He didn't want to. Fabian was inside the room with Patricia, Jerome, and Alfie. Anyway, Mara, Amber, and I were waiting outside with flashlights under our chins. "This is really stupid. And that's coming from me. I'm never stupid." Amber whispered. Mara and I smirked.
Then Nina and Fabian walked out of the room, followed my Patricia, Jerome, and Alfie. The last two were smirking. They walked up to the door, and Patricia said, "Unlock the door." Which Nina did. "You guys didn't booby-trap the place didn't you?" Nina asked. "'Course not! Go." Nina went in first. Fabian was about to follow, but Patricia pushed him out of the way and locked the door, keeping the key well out of reach from Fabian, who tried to grab it from her.
"Unlock the door!" Fabian whispered. "Guys? Guys! Let me out! There's something out there!" Nina cried. "Patricia, unlock the door! Victor might come." I said. Mara and Amber tried to get the key, until Patricia said, "Not until you tell us what you know about Joy." Amber and Mara stared at her. "I know nothing!" Nina pleaded.
Then Victor showed.
"What are you all doing up here? Were you breaking this door down?" Victor said. Amber shook her head, which looked hard since her entire body was shaking. But anyway, Victor was about to open the door, when Patricia said, "Mice! We thought we heard mice. That's all."
"Well, get to bed!" Victor said, his face turning red.
So we all did.
