Me: "Give me the rights to HOA and you can have the picture."
Jerome: "You swear this picture will disappear?"
Me: "Yes."
Jerome: "Ok fine. I'll be back next chapter with the rights." *leaves room*
Nina's POV
As we walked into the dining room, I realized Fabian was holding my hand! Apparently, he noticed, too, and quickly pulled away. I was fine with holding his hand, I just wasn't sure if he was fine holding mine. Then I realized that I was the one who took Fabian's hand. Oh no! He was going to tell me that he just wanted to be friends! He seemed happy after I kissed him, put that could have been in the heat of the moment. I'm so stupid! I'm the one who made the moves. Fabian only asked me to prom, but that could have been because of the pressure from our housemates. I wish I could just say, "Fabian, I'm getting mixed signals here. Do you like me as more than a friend or not?" But I can't. Why can't Fabian just tell me, no matter who's watching. I admit, I like privacy better, but, when the time comes the time comes. While these thoughts were going around in my head, Jerome and Alfie had started yet another food fight. And I got hit with flying spaghetti. Huh. First day I get hit with spaghetti, first day back I get hit with spaghetti. Interesting.
Fabian's POV
I noticed Nina and I were holding hands and broke it apart. I didn't think she was comfortable with it ,so I stopped. I wasn't sure if Nina liked me as more than a friend. I wish I wasn't so shy and that I didn't stutter when I talked to Nina about something other than the mystery. I wish I could just ask her out. Why? Why was it so hard for me to admit my feelings to someone? The world just hates me, doesn't it? "Come on, Fabian" I thought. "Be a man. Ask her out after supper." So I promised myself that I would ask her, and I wouldn't let anything or anyone stop me.
Jerome's POV
I really didn't want to talk to Trixie about...what happened at prom. But I knew we would have to talk to her about it sometime, otherwise things would always be awkward around us. Alfie through spaghetti at me and started laughing. I quickly grabbed some in my hand and threw a huge portion of spaghetti at Alfie. Unfortunately, Alfie ducked and the glob of spaghetti hit, the one and only, Patricia Williamson.
Patricia's POV
I'm just walking downstairs for supper and about to sit down when a huge glob of spaghetti hit me in the face. And then I figured out that it was Jerome who threw it.
"Jerome, I'm going to kill you!" I screamed. Jerome got up from his seat and took off running. I quickly followed after him and chased him aroung the ground floor. Then he ran into his room and shut the door. So I decided to trick him. I stepped on the other side of the grandfather clock and waited for him to open the door and check. He did that. When he did, I quickly ran out from behind the clock and pushed him back into his room. I slammed the door and then, Jerome started saying how sorry he was but I didn't listen. I started yelling at him and, soon enough, we were in a sort of fight-type-thing. He was pushing me and I was pushing him. Then, he grabbed me, pulled me towards him, and kissed me.
