I have decided to continue Poppy's backstory at Anubis house. Nobody suggested ideas about how the students will be like, so I have created them myself. There are two boys and two girls. This backstory of Poppy is essential to the story.
Note: In this story, Trudy returned as housemother of Anubis house, Vera is nowhere to be seen, and Jasper is still around.
Poppy Clarke's POV
(The year 2022)
It was almost lunch, and Trudy and I were talking while we were preparing the dishes and the utensils to the dining table.
"So Trudes, is there any opening for a job here in Anubis house", I ask Trudy. I see her eyes brighten up, and she replies, "Actually, there is, Poppy. It's for Assistant housemother. Why do you ask?" "Oh, I just think that I want to work here, Trudy. It feels like home, if I had a home." Trudy looked very happy when she heard me say that. She was very excited, that much everyone can see.
"Wait here dearie, I'll go tell Victor that there's someone who wants to take the assistant housemother job." Trudy leaves and goes to look for Victor. She heads first to Victor's room, but he was not there, I'm sure of that, because Trudy returns to the kitchen.
"Well, Victor's not in his room, so we should wait for him." "Sure, Trudy. I'm more than willing to wait." A little bit later, four students arrive at Anubis house, two boys and two girls.
One was a thin redhead male who looked very handsome and had somewhat normal height. The other was a black student who had the look of someone who did not care much for how his hair looked, which currently looked like a mop. He was taller than the redhead. One of the girls was a very tall blond who kept looking at her phone for some reason, and the last one was a brunette girl whom I can't really place out if she was brown or white. She was wearing eyeglasses while reading a book, but not just any book. It was a comic book, entitled 'Galactic Coast Guard' Not really a comic book for girls, as it was strictly marketed for boys.
"Hey dearies, you're here. Lunch is ready on the table!" Trudy calls out, and everyone drops whatever they were doing and head immediately at the dining table to sit. It was just a natural phenomenon that concerned students and Trudy. More specifically, Trudy's food, but you get the point.
Just then the black one with the mop hair noticed me, so he asked, in a deep tone which I was sure was an African accent, "Trudy, who is she?" He points to me, and I was a little startled to reply, but Trudy saved me the trouble. The other students then noticed me too.
"Oh, she is an old student from Anubis house. Her name is Poppy Clarke, and she wanted to visit." "Yeah", I just managed to add to what Trudy was telling them. The redhead then spoke up, "It's nice to meet you. We rarely get any visitors here, so we are happy to see a new face every once in a while." "Oh, thanks…" I wait, realizing I don't know his name, or any of the others names. "I'm Steve." And this is Hunter", he points to the other guy, in which he draws out his hand to shake. I shake his hands. "The blond one is Stephanie". She waves to me with a smile. "The last but not the least, this is Judelyn." He points to her, and she smiles.
"Thank you Steve!", I thank him as he just nods and I realize I was holding up lunch. I was starving, so I just said "Let's eat then.", which earned a simultaneous "Yeah!" from everyone. I sit down on the table and we all begin eating lunch. It was so tasty. I did not know how much I missed Trudy's cooking, but now I remembered exactly how it tastes like and I smiled. It was still the best.
"So, why did you decide to pay a visit here?", Stephanie asked me some time after we finished eating lunch, so I told her the truth, "I missed Anubis house, and I wanted to be back here, so I decided to apply as assistant housemother." "So you'll be staying with us, and not just as a visitor?", Steve asked. "That is, if Victor will agree." "Oh yeah, Victor…" they all said in unison.
"Speaking of Victor, have any of you lovelies seen him lately?" Trudy asked. The redhead replied, "Nope, not really. Not since I saw him head to the basement yesterday when I came home a bit early." "Hmm, I will go check on him then. Trudy heads down to the basement, and a little while later, I hear her scream.
That was Chapter 6, guys. It was a little short, but here it is. I still hope anyone is reading this. I'm sorry if I have not been able to update, I just did not have a hold of any computer, until now.
Does anyone even read this story? If you are there, kindly review for me.
