In case you were wondering, I'm writing this story as fast as I can so that I can create a lot of stuff before I get writer's block.

Patricia

I can't believe I'm doing this with Joy. I thought I was supposed to accompany her to buy some school supplies for both of us, but she decided to shop for some clothes and stuff. You know, stuff, makeup, those things I don't really like to use. But she was happy, so I guess I have to be happy too.

Now that afternoon classes were canceled, we (I mean Joy) have more time to shop for stuff. Note that I said stuff because I don't really know what some of them were called.

"Come on, Patricia, buy some makeup for yourself", Joy tries to convince me.

"No, my only set of makeup in our room has not yet been halved, so never mind that."

"Fine", Joy told me.

We shop around for an hour more, until Joy can't find any more things to buy, so she asked me, "What do you want to do now?"

"Let's go eat some lunch. I'm sure those guys at Anubis house ate all the food," I complain.

We go for some fast food, as I was starving and so was Joy. While we were eating, Joy asks me a question. "Don't you think it's weird that Fabian had to leave at such short notice?"

I think to myself. I had to agree. "I know. It is weird."

"Why has he not contacted us yet?", Joy asks me.

"How should I know? Maybe he lost his phone somewhere.", I tell Joy.

We continue eating until we are full, and we leave the fastfood place. There's nothing more to do, so we leave town and go back to Anubis.

We get to Anubis house a while later. I open the door, and we both get in. We look around and see that no one was in the kitchen or the sofa, apart from Trudy who was cleaning stuff in the kitchen. They must all be in their rooms. Just then Mick comes out of their room, followed by a new student. That's weird, I think to myself. That was Mick and Fabian's room, and I was sure there were 2 beds in there.

Mick and the new guy see us and walk towards us.

"Hey Mick, who is that?", I ask, pointing to the new student.

"Oh right, you don't know yet. He's Eddie.", Mick tells us.

"Uh, hello!", Eddie tells us. "So what are your names?", he asks.

"I'm Joy, and this is Patricia", Joy replies.

"Joy, I can speak.", I remind Joy, who just shrugs.

"So, we're going to play some ball", Mick tells us.

"Oh right", Joy replies, to which we get out of their way. They leave Anubis house, and we go to our rooms. Joy starts unpacking her new stuff, while I just roll my eyes and sit in my bed for a while. I was exhausted, thanks to Joy. I have to remind myself next time to let Amber accompany her to go shopping, instead of me.

I open my eyes and look at the timepiece beside me. Oh no, it's already 5:50 pm. 10 minutes before 6pm, which was dinner time, by the way. I must have fallen asleep at some time after we got to our rooms. I wash my face a little, and go downstairs to the kitchen. Trudy is there, busy preparing dinner, but nobody else.

"Hey Trudes, where's everyone?", I ask, just as Eddie and Mick enter the house. They must have just finished playing basketball. I know, because I see Mick holding a ball he was not holding a while ago.

Trudy then replies, "The girls are in Amber's room, and Jerome and Alfie must be in their room too."

"Okay". I look at Mick and Eddie. I can see they are both exhausted.

"Hi, Patricia. Hey, Trudy!", Eddie greets us.

"How was your game dears?", Trudy asks to which Mick replies, "It was really great, Trudy. Right, Eddie?". Eddie says back, "Yeah! That was really great. I'm definitely looking forward for the next time we play." I see them high-five, and laugh a bit. We leave them, as they go to their room. I go help Trudy, as there's nothing else to do. At 6:00, Trudy calls, "Hey dears, it's time for dinner." The words were barely out of her mouth before I see Alfie exit their room towards the kitchen, followed by Jerome. They are followed by the girls, and we all sit on our chairs around the dining table. Eddie and Mick come out of their room last, in which I see they were already changed.

There's a new girl in here too?, I ask myself as I see the new girl wave at me with that cheery smile on her face. "Hello, I'm Nina. So you must be Patricia.", she greets me. "Yeah, so what?" I reply. I don't like this new girl, I think to myself. She's too cheerful to be someone I can like, I tell myself. I look back and see all the girls glare at me, with the exception of Nina, who was still wearing that stupid smile on her face.

"Patricia, do you have to be mean to Nina? You have not met her yet.", I hear Mara ask me. Joy was nudging me a bit. I look at her, and I know that she is nudging me to be nice to Nina.

"Fine…", I say to them. "Nice to meet you, Nina", I tell her, even though everyone can hear that it was forced. "Nice to meet you too Patricia. I hope to know you better.", Nina replies in the same cheery tone.

"It's time to eat, dears!", Trudy mentions to all of us, so we all start eating the food. Just like always, Trudy's food was delicious. It almost made me forget about my little bad mood today. Almost. I mean, I can't believe that they let me sleep while they were having their girl talk in Amber's room. I know I'm not the biggest fan of girl talk, but at least they should have asked. We all finish our dinner in a short while, and we turn to our own conversations. We all talk to each other for a while, as we wait for the dessert Trudy told us to wait for. It was the housewarming dessert, she claimed.

Just then Amber speaks up. "Hey guys, I have an idea. We can continue this housewarming later after 10pm, in the attic. What do you say?" "That's a wonderful idea Ambs", Joy tells her. I see Mara agree too, and so did Jerome and Alfie. Mick also agreed.

"So, what do you say?", Amber looks towards Eddie and Nina, to which they both reply, "Sure Amber!"

As promised, dessert arrives, and it was chocolate cake. I loved chocolate cake. It was my favorite dessert of all time, but I won't let the others know that. So I discreetly get as much chocolate cake as I can on my plate. Thankfully nobody notices. I take a bite out of the cake, and it was the greatest feeling ever. If heaven were food, then this must be it. It was so good, I forgot about my bad mood and I got into a cheery mood, which was a relief, honestly. Sometimes I get tired of the act for a while, and this was one of the times. If you don't know what act I'm talking about, it's the 'seemingly not caring, being a not-so-nice person' act. But everybody knows that.

After dessert, we head to our rooms and wait for 10pm.

"You have exactly 5 minutes…" Yeah, yeah, we know… pin drop…, I tell myself as Victor finishes with his daily 10pm mantra and leaves the hallway to go to wherever he was going after that. I know he's not in his office, because I have gone out after 10 and every time, he was not in his office/room.

We wait for 15 minutes, then we all head towards the attic silently.

So that was it! Do you want to know what happens once they get to the attic? Will it be a normal housewarming or not?

Anything you might want to say? Any ideas you may want me to make into a story? Please review. I'm looking forward to it.

The chapter before this had some errors. I'm really sorry for that. At first I wanted it to be on Alfie's POV, but I changed it to Jerome's POV and there we have it.

Anyway, I'm sorry this came out a little later than I had hoped for, I just have not gotten hold of a computer for the time being. I promise to update as soon as possible.

The story is not yet that exciting, is it? For that, I'm really sorry. I hope to make it up to you on the following chapters.
