A/N: Okay, so I read this one review from Anonymous, and I wanted to reply to it.

No, I didn't quit writing because of Nathalia quiting, which still kinda ticks me off. I quit writing because I got kind of depressed, and I have no idea why. I was just depressed all the time and didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to talk to anyone, I didn't even feel like eating. I'm so sorry I quit writing, and I'm really glad you like my stories.

What ended up happening was, I started watching LOK (Legend of Korra), which is a spin-off series of Avatar: The Last Airbender. I don't know if any of you watch it, but it's an awesome cartoon.

Anyway, I started watching that, and, as I got more excited about it, I got less and less depressed. I don't know, I guess it was something new to obsess over.

So, now, I'm back. And thank you for reviewing, and I promise I will update my other stories ASAP!

Okay, this is the chapter where the Anubis students go back to the house. I'm still debating on what to do with Trudy, so she might stay there awhile.

Disclaimer: I own nothing, I promise you.

Alfie's Secret: Chapter 7

Alfie's POV

"Ah, it's good to be back!" I said, hopping to the kitchen on my crutches. I was starving. Hospital food sucks. No joke. Mick was right behind me.

"Mick, Alfie! Do you ever stop eating?" Mara whined.

"Yes, when we're sleeping," Mick said. I laughed, then almost choked on my food.

Mara, Amber, and Joy rolled their eyes. No one else was around. I asumed they all went back to their rooms.

"I'm going to find Nina. There's no way she can get up those stairs on crutches," Amber said.

"I'll come with you," Joy said.

"Me too," Mara said, following them out. When they were gone, I laughed.

"They really don't want to be around us when we're eating," I said.

"I'm okay with it. It's hard to be romantic with Mara when my mouth is full," Mick said. I swallowed, then smiled to myself.

"I'll bet," I said, shoving a piece of chocolate cake in my mouth.

"Hey, guys, have you seen-" Fabian started but was cut off when Amber stomped in the room.

"Fabian Rutter, you get up there right now and talk to your girlfriend!" she yelled.

"Amber, Nina said she didn't want any fighting," Mara said as she trudged in behind Amber.

"I'm not fighting; I was yelling. There is a difference, your know," Amber said, placing a hand on her hip.

"Fine. I was looking for her, actually," Fabian said, turning to walk out of the room.

"Of course you were," Amber said under her breath as Fabian left the room. She rolled her eyes. Then she leaned over and whispered something to Mara. I heard, "All bo...are...ke th...don't..tru...em." They both giggled.

"What was that Ambs?" I leaned over the counter towards her.

"Nothing, Alfie." She kissed my nose and left the room. Mara lingered for a second longer, then followed her. "I can't be sure-" I told Mick, "But I think she was talking about us."

"They were probably talking about how awesome we are at kissing," Mick joked. I laughed.

Fabian's POV

"Hey, Nines," I said as I walked into her and Amber's room.

"Hey," she said. She was obviously thinking about something, judging by the way she was playing with her fingers and avoiding eye contact, signs that she was nervous.

"You okay?" I asked, taking a seat next to her. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer to me. She rested her head on my shoulder.

"I'm just thinking about who would've - could've - locked everyone in that room. It makes no sense. I mean, I'm the only one who can open it, right?" she asked, removing her head from my shoulder to look me in the eyes.

"I used to think so, but now I'm not so sure. I mean, there's no possible way anyone besides you could open it, but it looks like that theory is thrown out the window."

"Yeah, I know. And I'm freaking out because of it," she said. She layed her head back on my shoulder and closed her eyes. In a few minutes, I knew she was asleep by her steady breathing. I knew that if I moved, I would wake her, so I didn't. It's not like she was sitting on my arm or anything, so it didn't really matter.

About an hour later, Nina was still asleep on my shoulder. I heard Victor do his ten o'clock spiel, and I hoped he wouldn't make sure everyone was in their rooms.

After a few minutes, I started to fall asleep as well.

Alfie's POV

Mick and I snuck back to the kitchen about five minutes after Victor's spiel. "I wonder what happened to the girls," I told Mick, after swallowing a piece of my turkey sandwich.

He shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know. They're probably in their rooms, talking about girly stuff."

"Yeah, true. But I'm still going to look," I said, eating the rest of my sandwich.

I sneaked* up the stairs. I opened Amber and Nina's door. I didn't see Amber, but when I turned to see if Nina was there (to see if she knew where Amber was), I saw her and Fabian. Sleeping. It was kinda cute, actually.

I quietly shut the door and crept to Mara, Joy, and Patricia's room. I knocked, and Patricia opened the door, obviously annoyed that someone was knocking on her door when she was sleeping.

"Hey, Patricia. Is Amber in here?" I asked, peeking around her shoulder, but I couldn't see anyone.

"Yes, Fabian was in Nina's room and he never came out so she didn't go back in and she sleeping in our room tonight. Bye." She shut the door in my face.

"Well, then." I turned around and walked my "offended walk" to the end of the hall. I slowly opened the door and peaked out. Victor was asleep. I snuck out and back to my room.

When I was back in my room, I remembered I had my secrets that I had written for class in my pockets. But I only had one. Oh no, I lost my big secret. Not good. At all.

*-I don't know if "sneaked" is proper English or not, but they used it in the show, so...

Anyway, thanks for reading this chapter. Sorry if it's short, little bit of writers block.

Please review!
