So hey, I know I haven't updated in like forever but I'm updating all my current stories today because I won't be able to update until Monday at the earliest, being a bridesmaid at my Aunties wedding :P
Charlie's POV
As I and Rosalina entered the Science classroom, we walked into Patricia, Nina, Fabian, Amber and Alfie whispering. I cleared my throat and they stopped whispering.
"So, how's your project coming along Fabian?" Nina turned to face him.
"Um, gr- really good, what about yours?" He flicked his hair out of his face.
"Not to good, help me maybe?" She replied, her shoulders sinking low.
"Yeah, maybe we should all go the Frobisher Library later, you know, to get some facts?" Patricia interrupted them both.
"Great idea Patricia" Fabian smiled.
"Yeah now we have to study" Alfie sighed.
"Good morning class, or what is left of it" Mr Sweet entered the room. It was only me, Rosalina, some of the kids from Anubis house and some other students here.
The class was filled with low, depressed 'Good Mornings'
"Today, you will continue with your projects, as I shall fill the new students in on what we are learning" Mr Sweet nodded to me and Rosalina.
"I will let you two work together for this assignment, as the others started last term and are far ahead of you" He said, gesturing the other students in the classroom.
"Um, sure, what do we have to do?" I smiled at him, trying not to show my boredom
"Well you need to-" He was cut off by Victor entering the room demanding to see the Anubis residents.
We all exited the room, following behind one another.
Rosalina's POV
"What do you have to say for yourselves?" He was shouting at us.
"What are you talking about?" Patricia met his gaze. I admired how she stood up for herself and everyone that was close to her. But I admired at least one thing about everyone I guess.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about Miss Williamson, so do not be so rude" His eyes, they looked so demonic. If looks could kill, I think we would all be dead.
"But the thing is I actually don't" She turned her head, faking a smile at him.
"One of you miscreants decided to fool around with my property" He was now looking each of us in the eye, slowly as if he was sucking the truth from one another.
I immediately looked at Charlie. He looked scared for once; I've never seen him scared. We looked at each other's eyes, we had known each other for so long, and we could just tell something was wrong by looking at one another. His eyes had shown mixed emotions, which was unusual for Charlie. He was so sure about what was going on around him. But now, well now it was different. And then I remembered what he had told me this morning. That the prank was him, all him, and now Victor would have him in trouble. Maybe detention? Or even worse, Expulsion…
"Well then, who was it?" He screamed at us. It was like he was hunting us down, one by one we would each whimper at him.
"If I do not get any answer, I shall have to bring a more severe punishment into this" He was getting impatient. The way his foot tapped and echoed down the deserted hallway, it felt like a horror movie, and we were the main cast.
Victor was now pacing back and forth in the dramatic hiatus that was becoming more and more dramatic by the minute.
Charlie's POV
I looked at all of my house mates faces. Amber was petrified. Fabian was well Fabian, wide eyed and looking down. Eddie was standing tall, head up. Nina, well I think she was hyperventilating inside. Patricia was just average. Alfie and Jerome had poker faces, but they had no idea what was going on really. And Rosalina, her face was ever so pretty and elegant and well amazing, but she looked disappointed in me with a hint of scared. She was frustrated with me and what I had done.
"It was me" I said stepping forward, the whole house was wide eyed and open mouthed. "Yeah, it was me, okay?"
"Boy!" Victor said, his face turning red with anger and pointing his long, bony finger at my face.
"No, it was me" Rosalina's delicate voice interrupted Victors fury.
"No, it was me actually" Eddie said stepping up.
"Don't lie Eddie, it was me" Patricia thumped him on the arm.
"Honestly you lot do not need to take the blame for me" Fabian said smiling at me.
"Fabian!" Nina hit him on the arm lightly. "Don't cover up for me, okay?"
"Well who was it?" Victor was spinning around in circles, hands on his head.
"It was me, I think?" Amber mumbled.
"Ambs, its fine. It was me" Alfie stood in front of her, meeting Victor's eyes the returning back to his old position.
"Jerome, I can trust you so who was it?" Victor said, red like a tomato, shaking with rage.
"Well" Jerome looked to the side. "I do believe" He stopped, running a hand through his dirty blonde hair. "I believe I did it" The whole House smiled.
"Victor, I do need my students back now, you've had long enough" Mr Sweet opened the door.
"Oh let me guess it was you as well Eric" Victor said turning around and heading back to the house.
"I do not understand what you are talking about. Now come inside" He said opening the door wide enough for use to get in.
"Hey guys, thanks for being there for me" I mumbled.
"Hey, don't worry about it. We've got your back" Nina smiled at me
We all laughed, remembering Victor's red face before he left.
