Disclaimer: You know these things are super annoying! No people I do not own House of Anubis...though I really wish I did! I do, however, own Anna.

Chapter 2

"You do know it's wrong to sell people your used homework so they can use it in class right?" I said looking at Jerome with raised eyebrows. Fabian, Patricia, Joy and I had just walked into class with Jerome and Alfie who we met in the hall where I yet again caught Jerome selling his used homework.

He rolled his eyes then smirked. "Maybe, but it pays well." I gave him a look. "What? It's not like I'll get caught."

"Remind me, why am I your friend again?" I joked sitting on top of my desk that I shared with Fabian who was already sitting down.

He grinned. "Well I'm charming, funny, incredibly handsome-"

"Conceited and mischievous?" I added a big smile on my face.

"Ha ha." He replied. "You know you love it."

"Suurree. Whatever floats your boat." I laughed, though what he said was kind of true not that I would never admit it. "Will you at least try to stop selling your homework before you do get caught?"

"Drop it Anna, he's not going to listen." Fabian told me with a roll of his eyes. "He never does."

"And what is that supposed to mean Rutter?" Jerome said glaring at him. Fabian just rolled his eyes and sat at his desk, saving me the seat next to him.

"Oh shove off Jerome" I said trying to hold in my laughter. Jerome looked down at me with raised eyebrows which made me feel really small since he's like a foot taller than me. "You know it's true."

Alfie laughed. "She's got you there mate."

"Oh shut up." Jerome said rolling his eyes. I giggled, shaking my head but before either of us could say more our teacher Mrs. Andrews walked in.

"Mr. Clarke, Miss Rutter and Mr. Lewis please take your seats." She ordered. We nodded their heads, mumbling sorry before going to our seats. Jerome however glanced back at me and winked before taking his seat in the back next to Alfie. I bit my lip, trying to hide the smile on my face as I got down from the table and sat down next to Fabian.

"I can't believe you like him." Fabian mumbled a smirk playing on his lips. I turned to him eyes wide.

"I do not-" Fabian looked at me raised his eyebrows and I groaned. "Shut up."

Fabian laughed and turned his attention on Mrs. Andrews, who began to talk about the stupid practice test we had to take, but was interrupted by Amber who was on her phone talking to her dad about getting her credit limit extended so she can get an "important" pair of shoes. I laughed, Classic Amber. I laughed even more when she completely ignored Mrs. Andrews when she told her to turn off her phone. Then Mick walked in and Amber immediately hung up the phone, her full attention now on him. I smiled he must be back from that sports thing he went to. Fabian and I gave Mick a wave as he passed our table giving us a smile before he went to his seat. Mrs. Andrews, a bit annoyed, started to talk more about the practice test again but I was only half paying attention because well it's kinda boring and I couldn't stop thinking about Jerome. With his soft looking blonde hair and his bright blue eyes and that stupid annoying yet cute smirk of his. I think I may really like him but the thing is he can be...well in Patricia's words a slime ball, he only does things for a price and he always has to get what he wants. I don't even know why I like a boy like that? Maybe because I know deep down he is a good person. That he's really sweet and kind but he hides it under his arrogant mask. I really wish he'd show his soft side more.

"Anna!" The sudden voice made me jump, but then I realized it was only Fabian and sighed in relief.

"What?"

"We have to start the test...weren't you paying attention?" He asked clearly amused. She rolled her eyes and gave him a playful shove causing him to laugh.

"Mr. and Miss Rutter." We froze at the sound of their teacher's voice. "No talking while taking a test...even if it is a practice one."

"Right, sorry Mrs. Andrews." We said simultaneously. She gave us an odd look; most people did when we spoke at the same time and nodded walking away.

A half an hour later I was ready to fall asleep. The test we were taking was an essay so that made it even worse. Suddenly Alfie yelled out because he had a "nose bleed.", which I knew was fake blood on a napkin. He does this all time. I'm surprised no one has suspected anything yet. When he got to the door, he ran into Principal Mr. Sweets, who said Joy had someone waiting for her in his office. Confused, Joy left the classroom. A few minutes later when class was over she hadn't come back.

"Who do you think was waiting for Joy?" I asked Fabian after Patricia told us she was going to Mr. Sweet's office to see if Joy was still there.

"I dunno...I suppose we'll find out later at the house." Fabian said.

I nodded. "Yeah...Oh Fab, I have to get my history book out of my locker, meet me in the front?"

"Yeah sure, I have to go to mine too." Fabian agreed. "See you in a minute."

"See you." I called as Fabian walked away. I turned and walked to my locker and took my history book. I saw Alfie wearing some sort of mask and chasing Jerome down the hall. I shook my head and smiled. Those two are so weird. Putting my book in my bag I headed towards the entrance to go meet Fabian. He wasn't there when I came out so I waited by the door. Five minutes later he came out and we headed to the Anubis House.

"Finally!" I exclaimed once we walked inside.

Fabian chuckled. "You know it's not that far a walk."

"I know that it's just-"

"WHERES JOY!"

"Is that Patricia?" Fabian asked confused.

"It sure sounds like it." I said. And she sounds mad. That's never good. "I'll go see what's up."

"Alright..." Fabian said then with a smirk he added. "Good luck."

I laughed and headed up the stairs to the girls rooms. I got to the hallway stopping when I saw a bunch of blankets and a pillow lying in a pile on the floor near Patricia's and Joy's room. I looked at the floor in confusion, then looked back up when I heard Patricia again.

"Did you hear what I said?" Patricia yelling glaring at a girl who looked a bit familiar. Oh she was the girl who ran into Patricia earlier! The girl frowned, looking confused and scared. I sighed, shaking her head. Leave it to Patricia to give a good welcome.

"Patricia? What's going on?" I asked looking between the girl and Patricia.

"That's what I'd like to know." Patricia yelled frightening the girl even more. "Where's Joy?"

"What do you mean where's Joy?" I asked confused. She was just at school a while ago...

"I went to see if Joy was still at Mr. Sweet's office but she wasn't there, so I came to see if she was here...and i found her in mine and Joy's room. All of Joy's things are gone except for her phone and her rabbit." Patricia explained looking worried. I frowned even more confused than before and turned to the girl. It wasn't that I thought she did anything I just wanted to know what was going on and where the heck Joy is. She looked at me worriedly and her eyes widened as if she thought I was blaming her.

"I just got here...I'm Nina from America...and I swear I don't know where Joy is...the room was empty when I got there." She quickly explained

I gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, unlike someone, I don't think you've done anything...I'm Anna by the way."

Patricia scowled, whereas Nina sighed with relief. "Nice to meet you."

"Didn't you hear a word I said?" Patricia yelled. "Aren't you worried about where Joy is?"

I sighed "Patricia I-"

"Patricia Williamson, Anastasia Rutter what is going on?" We turned to see Victor walking towards us. I rolled my eyes trying to hold back a snarky remark I would have said to anyone who called me that. I really can't stand my full name. People always made the connection to the princess from the cartoon movie and after a while it became very annoying yet, Victor always calls me that.

"That's what I've been trying to figure out!" Patricia yelled.

"Will you give it a rest?" I said getting annoyed. "I mean come on-"

Patricia ignored me and turned to Victor. "Where's Joy?"

"Joy has left." He replied simply.

"W-what do you mean Joy's left?" Patricia asked confused. I was too, why would Joy suddenly leave like that? And even though Patricia was really annoying me I realized that if Fabian disappeared like this I'd be worried too.

"Joy's parents came to school this afternoon and removed her." He told her as if talking to a five year old. I rolled my eyes again; he always talks to us like that.

"But...that's impossible...why would they do that?" Patricia asked a mixture of worry and confusion laced in her voice.

"I have absolutely no idea." He replied. Alright now I was beyond confused. Why would she leave without telling anyone?

"Joy would never leave without saying good bye...or without her phone...or BunsyBun." Patricia said as if voicing my thoughts...which was kind of weird.

"Give them to me, I'll forward them onto her." Victor said holding out his hand. Patricia didn't move. "Give."

Patricia reluctantly gave him the phone and the rabbit. "Now clear this stuff back in the room."

"No Way!" Patricia yelled, pushing Nina aside. "I'm going to phone Joy and find out what's going on!"

"Patricia! Come back here!" Victor ordered but to no avail. Patricia was already was gone.

"Victor...why doesn't Nina stay in my room?" I suggested turning to him. "I have a feeling Patricia won't be very welcoming. At least not at this moment."

Victor looked at Nina, who looked down embarrassed. He sighed. "Very well...you don't mind do you Miss. Martin?"

"No...I mean...if it's okay with you..." Nina trailed off looking at me. I smiled softly, it was least I could do plus with Patricia like this, she's not going to be any fun to hang around.

"Of course I don't mind! It was my suggestion!" I replied.

Nina smiled. "Thanks."

"You're Welcome." Victor picked up the pile of blankets and pillows and handed them to Nina.

"Dinner will be ready in ten minutes." He said. We nodded and he walked away.

"Here let me help you." I said taking some of the blankets. "Sorry about Patricia, she's well...you saw."

"Yeah...thanks again, some first day." Nina sighed frowning.

"Don't worry, things will get better not everyone in the house is as welcoming as Patricia." I joked, Nina laughed.

"So, which one is your room?" She asked looking at the other two doors besides Patricia's and Joy's room.

"Oh mine is the farthest one, come on." They walked to the door and after a minute of struggling, I was able to open it.

"Finally." I sighed, Nina laughed. "Well this is my room, obviously and the room in the middle is Amber and Mara's room. You'll meet them later."

Anna put the blankets on her bed and Nina followed. I looked around the room relieved I decided to do some last minute cleaning yesterday.

"So...it's okay right? My room I mean" I asked suddenly unsure. I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable or anything especially after the whole Joy thing.

"Oh yeah!" Nina replied smiling. "I love it actually."

"Really?" I asked smiling as well.

She nodded. "Yeah! I love the wall color."

I grinned. The walls of her room were painted purple, my favorite color and I had a few posters here and there of her favorite bands, actors, actresses etc. and a bulletin board with a bunch of random papers, notes and pictures of my friends which was pretty much everyone in the Anubis house. My bed had black and white large flower designs on it with purple pillows and sheets. It sat against the wall in the middle of the room with two white night stands on either side. On the wall opposite of her bed was a window, my desk was beneath it and next to it was my dresser, they were both white.

"Thanks! You should see Amber and Mara's room...on Amber's side it's nothing but pink...it's rather nauseating if you ask me but she is my best friend so I kind have to deal with it." We laughed.

"So I take it you don't like pink?" Nina said, then noticing the black guitar case added. "And you play guitar?"

"Nope, can't stand the color and yeah I've been playing since I was nine, like my brother Fabian...oh you'll meet him too." I told her. "Oh and just heads up Fabian and I are twins."

"Really? That's so cool! I always wondered what it would be like to have a twin." Nina mused smiling. I laughed but stopped realizing something.

"What is it?" Nina asked confused.

"I just realized you may need a bed." I chuckled. Nina looked around then smiled laughing too.

"Yeah, a bed could be useful."

"Maybe we can get the boys to help move the other bed in here after dinner but, until then let's get your things in here." I suggested. Nina nodded in agreement and we left for Patricia's room. We talked as we put Nina's things into my room and found we both had something in common: we both like to read and we both like to sing. Once we were finished we decided to go downstairs for dinner that way Nina could meet everyone. I hope everything would go well...but knowing Patricia's attitude at the moment, she could make things a lot worse.
