Chapter 3

We walked down the stairs in silence. I could hear the others arguing, about what I wasn't sure. Once we reached the living room it was like someone pressed the pause button on a remote. Everyone was looking at Nina and the room became so quiet that I almost screamed just to make some kind of noise.

Nina decided to speak "Hi I'm Nina...from America."

Patricia scoffed and I glared at her, then turned to Nina smiling. "I'll introduce you to everyone, yeah?" I began to point people out. "That's Mara and Amber over there, that's Jerome, this is my brother Fabian..."

"Hey." Fabian smiled waving.

"Hi." Nina replied also smiling.

"Aww isn't he sweet." I teased. Fabian rolled his eyes but the blush was evident on his face. Aw, they would be so cute together. I turned to the rest of the group. "Anyway-"

"Welcome Space Girl." Alfie said walking up to Nina. I gave him a look shaking my head and chuckling as he began talking, I suppose what he thought an alien would sound like. Nina raised her eyebrows confused and probably a little weirded out. If Alfie wasn't one of my closet friends, I would be too.

I smirked. "That was Alfie...and as you can tell he has a strange obsession with Aliens."

Alfie looked at me a mock hurt expression on his face. "I do not!"

"Yeah, you do." Jerome stated laughter in his voice. I giggled as Alfie turned to him crossing his arms.

"Yeah pick her side," He mumbled sitting down, then he grinned and added. "But they're right."

Everyone laughed. That was Alfie for you, he was rarely ever serious and along with Jerome, always pulling some kind of prank...that mostly involved the house...unfortunately.

"Moving on..."I replied. I turned to Patricia. "Well you met Patricia..." Nina half smiled and I put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "There's also Mick...but he isn't here, so...well you'll meet him later. Oh and Patricia you're in luck."

"Why's that?" She asked confused.

I looked at her crossing my arms. "Since you were so rude, you no longer have a roommate. We moved her things to my room." I turned back to Nina grinning. "And we are going to have a lot of fun...I'll make sure of it."

"Hello, what about me!" Amber exclaimed. "I would like to have fun with my best friend too!"

I grinned. "Don't worry Ambs, of course you'll be having fun with us too."

"Yay!" She clapped her hands excitedly. I laughed.

Patricia rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

"Dinner's ready!" Trudy called walking out from the kitchen. Everyone got up from the couches and walked to the table. As Nina went to move, I saw Patricia walk by her glaring. I frowned; why is Patricia was blaming everything on Nina? I mean okay so it's a little odd that Joy left the same time Nina arrived but it was only a coincidence nothing more. I sat down next to Fabian, who was on my right, and Alfie sat on my left. Across from Alfie was Jerome, next to him was Mara and next to her was usually Amber but she was getting the pepper from Trudy. Nina, unknowingly sat down in her seat, not that it mattered we never sat in the same seat anyway.

"That's my seat." Amber said walking up to her. Or maybe it does.

"Oh!" Nina jumped up. "I'm sorry do you want to-"

"Where's Mick?" She asked suddenly. I shook my head. That girl has no attention span. Nina looked at her confused.

"I don't even know you so-" Amber gave Nina the pepper and walked off. Nina turned to the table, confused and sat down again.

"You heard her, that's her seat." Patricia said looking at her.

"Yeah, well she's not here right now." Nina said clearly annoyed with Patricia.

"That's your way isn't it." Patricia sneered. "Someone's gone for five seconds and you've already moved in."

"Patricia." Fabian began before she could say anymore. "Is head of the welcoming committee." Alfie and I laughed. Anna silently praised Fabian for interrupting before Patricia say anything else and makes things worse. "Take no notice, just sit where ever you like."

"Yeah, don't worry Nina, Amber wouldn't mind if you sat there anyway." I told her.

Nina smiled and we began to eat. It was rather quiet until Alfie decided to stuff a bunch of spaghetti in his mouth using two forks, which caused Mara to tell him off. Jerome smirked and after telling Alfie to stop playing with his food, flung a forkful of spaghetti at his face. I chuckled as Alfie threw some back at Jerome, which got Mara too. I stopped when Jerome in turn threw some salad at Alfie, and I ended up with salad in my hair. Gross! I wiped some dressing off my face just as Alfie threw some at Nina. I shook my head, barely missing some more food which flew at Fabian, but he blocked it with a napkin.

"Really guys!" Fabian said, putting down the napkin as I took the lettuce out of my hair. "Every meal."

Patricia smirked and glanced at Nina picking up a pitcher of water, then with an innocent smile tipped it over onto Nina's lap. She gasped and jumped up.

"Classy Patricia." Fabian and I said glaring at her.

"What? It was an accident." I rolled my eyes. I knew this would happen, Patricia was like that.

"Are you alright?" Fabian asked Nina, ignoring Patricia.

"Yeah except my sweater is shrinking to my body as we speak." Nina replied getting some food off her face, Fabian got up and went into the kitchen.

"So Nina." Patricia said as if nothing happened. I shot her a look, silently telling her to stop. "When are you going to tell us what you know about Joy's disappearance?"

"I guess when I really know something." Nina said quietly looking upset. I frowned at Patricia. Was she really doing this again?

"Oh come on!" Patricia exclaimed standing up as Fabian walked back in with towels. He handing some to Nina and began helping her. "One minute I'm sitting with Joy in class and the next she disappeared and you taken her place...bit of a coincidence?"

"Oh come off it Patricia." I groaned crossing her arms. This seriously had to stop.

"Maybe it is." Nina mumbled.

"Nina-" I began but was cut off by Alfie.

"Maybe she snatched her and locked in her in the cellar." Alfie laughed making ghost noises. Fabian and I shot him an annoyed look.

"Oh shut up Alfie." Patricia said then turned to Nina. "Well?"

"Like I said I don't know anything about Joy or her disappearance." Nina told her drying off the water on her shirt frowning with tears in her eyes.

"I'll get it out of you eventually." Patricia replied glaring at her.

Victor walked in. "Nina, phone call for you." He looked around. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." Patricia replied innocently sitting down. "Just Nina spilled water everywhere."

Nina gave her a look, threw the napkin on the table and walked out. I sighed turning to Patricia as Jerome and Alfie threw the last bits of food at each other.

"Was that really necessary?" I asked. Patricia just rolled her eyes and started eating. I scowled at her. "Wow, Patricia very mature."

"Shut up Anna! How can you trust her? Don't you-" Patricia began looking up at me. I cut her off.

"Don't start! I understand how you're feeling Patricia, but you don't have to go blaming other people." I told her in a hard tone. "And you don't have to be rude either."

Patricia glared at me and went to her food again. I sighed again, rubbing my temples with my fingers. I definitely feel a headache coming on. Fabian got up and poured out some water into a glass.

"I'm going to take her some water." He said, I nodded but everyone else stayed silent. Fabian left the room and I decided to just continue eating. Not even a minute later Fabian came back a frown on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked. Everyone turned to him but he shook his head and sat down. He sat there staring at his plate for a few seconds before turning to me and saying.

"She was crying."

I feel horrible. Here Nina is trying to make friends and feel comfortable in a new school, not to mention in a different country and already Patricia made her upset by blaming her for something completely and utterly absurd. I am beyond mad at Patricia, she's acting like such a witch and that is not right.

I stood up. "I'll go talk to her."

Fabian nodded. Everyone was silent again but I could feel them watching as I moved to the door leading to the hallway. Once I reached the door, I turned to Patricia and said. "I hope you're happy." Then walked out.

I went up the stairs and down the hallway until I reached mine and Nina's room. I got to the door and heard soft cry's coming from inside. I sighed sadly, feeling even more horrible and knocked on the door.

"Nina?" No answer. "Nina, its Anna. Can I come in?"

It was silent and all I could hear was Nina's quiet sniffles. After a few minutes of silence I finally heard a quiet "Come in." I opened the door slowly and frowned at what I saw. Nina was sitting on my bed with her knees pulled to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. I walked over to the bed and sat down next to her.

"Oh Nina, I'm sorry." I said looking down. "I didn't think Patricia would..."

"It's alright, at least Fabian was nice and you of course." She replied quietly putting her legs down. "I just don't get why Patricia is blaming me...I don't even know who Joy is."

"I know, but Patricia's like that I suppose...though it doesn't give her the right to be a witch." I said. Nina smiled a bit then looked down. "I suppose I should apologize for Jerome and Alfie throwing food they...well they do it all the time."

Nina laughed and I joined in thinking of how crazy the two were sometimes. Nina looked down again, then looked up at me.

"Anna?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks...for everything." She said softly. I grinned.

"Of course! It's what friends do!" I gave her a hug, which Nina returned. When we let go I added. "And don't listen to Patricia okay, she's just…I don't know but bare her no mind. Alright?"

Nina nodded. "Alright...I wasn't planning to anyways."

I laughed leaning back against my pillows when I realized something."Oh! Your bed!"

Nina laughed. "Why am I not surprised that you forgot."

"Shut up." I laughed playfully nudging her, "We do have a problem though."

"Why?"

"Because it's..." She looked at her clock. "6:30, and we have to be in our rooms at 9"

"Yeah, Victor told me but why..."

"How are we supposed to get the bed in here in two and half hours?" I asked. I was silent for awhile as we thought of what to do until I an idea formed in my head. "I have an idea, why don't we campout on the floor tonight! Yeah? It'll be fun! And we don't have school tomorrow so we can stay up late."

"Okay." Nina agreed. "But what about the bed, I'm going to need it sometime."

I laughed. "We'll do it tomorrow I'll have Fabian help us."

"Alright sure, why not." Nina shrugged smiling.

I was about to answer when my phone went off. I grabbed my iphone from my night stand and saw that I had new text from Amber.

I am so bored! Mara is reading, and I don't feel like sitting in my room. :/ Can I go over to yours?

I laughed as I replied back.

Course! Nina and I are having a campout since we don't have another bed for her yet. You can join us if you like!

"Hey Nina, you wouldn't mind if Amber joined us do you? She just texted me that she's bored." I asked.

Nina shook her head. "No. it's fine."

I smiled. "Cool." My phone went off again and I looked at it.

Ooh! Sleepover! haha :D Sure, I'll be over in a sec! Thanks!

Haha no prob :)

"Let's get all our blankets and pillows together." Nina agreed so we grabbed all our said pillows and blankets and made ourselves beds on the floor. When we finished we plopped down on their blankets just as Amber walks.

"Hey guys!" She smiled sitting on the blankets we but together.

"Hi Ambs." I replied.

"Sorry I wasn't at dinner. I went looking for Mick and then when I got back I got spaghetti thrown at my face." Amber told us.

"I know how you feel, I got a face full of salad earlier." I said. Amber rolled her eyes.

She turned to Nina."Oh my gosh! Mara told me that Patricia poured water all over you and started asking you where Joy was. She said you seemed really upset are you alright?"

Nina sighs. "I'm fine and I honestly don't know where Joy is."

"Of course not! You did just get here after all! Patricia is just being silly." Amber replies.

Nina smiles. "So, is Mick your boyfriend?"

Amber nods grinning. "Mmhmm. We've been together for almost four months. It's been amazing!"

"Hey where was he anyway?" I ask.

"He was on a run." Amber says. She looks around the room. "You know you're going to need another bed in here right?"

"Yes, Amber we know." I laugh. "We were planning on getting Fabian to help us move the extra one in Patricia's room in here"

"Ooh we should totally rearrange the room and make it look totally awesome" Amber exclaimed. I looked her. "Well not that it isn't already awesome."

I roll my eyes. "Well I have been wanted to do that anyways."

"I think it sounds like fun." Nina says. "Aside from have to move furniture around all day."

We laugh.

"True."

We pretty much spent the rest of the night talking about different ideas to rearrange the room only stopping when I went to the bathroom to change into pajama's (Amber went back to her room), to tell Fabian that Nina was alright and to grab Amber, Nina and I some snacks since neither of us finished eating. We agreed it would be an all-day thing and a lot of work but it would be totally worth in the end. After a bit more talking we fell asleep knowing we would need it for the long day they had ahead of us.

There ya have it! Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks for reading! :)
