Chapter 5

I sat on my bed reading my new Pop Tiger* magazine rolling my eyes when I heard Victor saying his Pin Speech from downstairs. The whole thing is stupid. Seriously, who goes to bed at nine o'clock? And why does he need a pin? Whatever, Victor is really weird anyway. Suddenly I heard running from the hallway, confused I got up from my bed, walked out of the room and saw Amber, Mara and Patricia gathered around the bathroom door.

"What's going on?" I asked as I reached them.

"Patricia said she saw something on the bathroom mirror." Amber told her sounding confused as well. I looked inside the bathroom to see Nina standing by the sink looking completely confused holding a bathroom towel and the mirror which looked completely normal.

"Umm...I don't see anything." I said looking at Patricia.

"That's because she wiped it off." Patricia yelled glaring at Nina.

"What did it say?" Mara asked.

"Help me Joy!" Patricia told her. "She's wiped it off so now it looks like I've gone crazy!"

"Take it easy Patricia." Mara said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"This is what she wanted!" Patricia exclaimed. "She's involved! I'm telling you!"

"I didn't see anything when I wiped the steam off the mirror, except for myself I swear!" Nina said with a worried expression. I opened my mouth to say something but was stopped by another voice.

"Why are you girls not in your rooms." We turned to see Victor walking in the room. "You know the rules."

"Umm..." I looked around trying to think of a story to get them out of this. "Patricia...screamed so we came to see what was wrong and turns out she saw a spider. Sorry Victor." The girls looked at me but I gave them a look telling them to play along.

"Yeah, sorry." Patricia said. The girls nodded.

Victor rolled his eyes. "Just get to you rooms immediately."

I grabbed Nina's arm pulling her to our room before we could get in trouble, the other girls went into their own rooms as well. I plopped on my bed picking up my magazine again.

"Hey Anna?" Nina asked as she sat on her bed. I looked up at her signaling her to continue. "You believe me right? About the mirror?"

I smiled. "Of course! Patricia is just being over dramatic, plus I saw Alfie up here earlier it was probably him."

Nina laughed and sighed in relief. "Oh good, I was worried that- wait you think Alfie wrote Help Me! Joy on the wall just to freak Patricia out?"

"Yeah, Alfie is known to do things like that...oh and so is Jerome but he's way worse so be careful." We laughed. "And don't worry I told you we're friends! And I'm sure you'll be friends with everyone once you get to know them. You're already friends with Amber and I''m pretty sure Fabian likes you too. "

Nina smiled. "Thanks...you think Fabian likes me?"

I chuckled. "Oh yeah, I think he is becoming very fond you.."

She blushed. "Well, that's good." I raised my eyebrows at her but she quickly changed the subject. "Do you think Patricia will ever believe me about Joy?"

I nod. "Eventually, just give her some time to cool down. She'll come around eventually."

She nods. "Alright."

We continued to talk about random things until we went to sleep for the night.

"Joy, would have definitely called me by now. I'm telling you something has happened to her!" Patricia said walking into the dining room with a plate of muffins. Amber, Mara, Jerome, Fabian and I we're all seated at the table eating breakfast.

"Patricia give it a break, you driving me crazy." Jerome said as she gave him the muffins.

"Jerome! Be nice, she's just worried about Joy, we all are." I told him.

He rolled his eyes. "Yes mum." I glared at him and kicked him underneath the table. "OW! Anna!"

"Oops." I replied smiling sweetly causing everyone to laugh.

"Did you get any response to the email you sent her last night?" Amber asked.

Patricia shook her head. "No."

"It's difficult to know what else to do." Fabian replied.

"Question the newbie!" Patricia explained. "That's what."

Fabian rolled his eyes. "Nina has nothing to do with this, Patricia"

I nodded. "She just...has really bad timing."

Patricia didn't look appeased. "What about last night, that business with the mirror." Jerome began to laugh while Fabian, Amber, Mara and I looked at each other nervously. Patricia noticed this. "What? You don't believe me...do you?"

"Yes we do, it's just Mick saw Alfie hanging around our corridor last night." Amber told her.

"Yeah, I saw him too Patricia." Anna said.

Patricia's eyes widened a bit. "Yeah, but not even Alfie would have the nerve to sneak into the girls bathroom to do something like that."

Jerome looked at her. "Are we talking about the same Alfie?" Patricia sighed.

"So, who do you think wrote it? Joy?" Fabian asked her.

"I don't know, maybe Nina wrote to drive me crazy." Patricia said. Fabian and I rolled our eyes. I raised my eyebrows at Jerome when he coughed trying to hold in his laughter.

Patricia sighed. "Where is she anyway?"

"Went to school early, I think." Fabian replied.

I nodded. "I tried to get her to come down but-"

"Oh, so she's a geek, along with everything else is she?" Patricia replied rolling her eyes.

"I think it's more of getting away from us." Fabian said giving Patricia a glare. "I mean, we've hardly been welcoming."

Mara nodded. "I know I've been thinking about that too, I feel a bit mean."

I sighed feeling guilty. "Hey, it's not your fault or any ones really, I mean meeting people is always awkward at first especially with the whole Joy thing, but think about how she's feeling? She came here all the way from America, not only is this a new school or home it's a new country. It must be hard for her; the least we could do is be friendly."

Patricia scoffed. "Whatever, I still think she's up to something. I think you are just too nice Anna. It's kind of weird."

I frowned glaring at Patricia. "Well you know what Patricia; at least I have a heart unlike you." With that I stood up and walked out of the room.

I was in the middle of putting some books in my bag when there was a tap on my door. I stopped debating if I should let the person come in. I really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone at the moment.

"Anna? It's Fabian. May I come in?" I sighed in relief, it was only my brother.

"Yeah, you can come in." I replied putting her lap top in her bag. I heard the door slowly open and turned around giving Fabian a smile.

"I'm surprised you let me in. I didn't think you wanted to talk to anyone." Fabian said sitting on my bed.

I shrugged. "Yeah, but I decided you're the exception." He smiled. "Anyway, the only person I really don't want to talk to is Patricia. I understand she's worried but does she really have to act like such a witch?"

Fabian sighed. "I don't know, just ignore her. You know how she is, and you are right you know about what you said." I smiled as he slung an arm around my shoulder giving her a side hug. "I do have to agree with Patricia on the thing though." She gave him a look confused. He grinned. "You are kind of weird."

I gasped playfully hitting his arm. "Thanks Fabio."

He groaned. "I thought I told you not to call me that."

I giggled. "That's what you get for calling me weird."

Rolling his eyes he stood up. "Come on we have to get to school...Anastasia."

I looked at him. "Really?" He laughed but said nothing and walked out of the room. I groaned following him out.

Hi Mom,

I can't believe Aunt Charlotte is getting married! After all that talk about never ever wanting to be married and to Jeremy of all people! Remember when she always said she couldn't stand him? And now they're getting married! Just wait until I tell Fabian and I suppose we should tell Uncle Ade as well. We haven't visited him in a while, we've been busy I suppose. Anyways, I have so much to tell you. A new girl named Nina Martin moved into the House a few days ago. She's super nice and she's from America! Isn't that cool! Oh and guess what, I think Fabian fancies her! I think they would make such a cute couple! haha! Ugh, but that's not all. Patricia has been acting like a real witch lately. See, what happened was that Joy's parents sent her home, but Patricia thinks something happened to her and that Nina has something to do with it because she came to the school, the same time Joy was sent home. So Patricia keeps yelling at Nina and accusing her of things then I guess she got mad me because

I stopped typing feeling a hand on my shoulder. Looking up I saw a very cute grinning Jerome staring back at me.

"Well hello there." He said taking a seat next to me on the blanket I placed in the grass. We had a fifteen minute break so I had decided to write back to my mum since she had replied back to me the day before.

She smiled. "Hey Jerome," I closed her lap top. "What brings you here?"

"Oh you know, I saw you sitting by yourself so I thought you might enjoy my company." He said flashing me another grin.

I laughed, shaking my head. "Well, aren't you selfless?"

He draped his arm around my shoulders. "Why, of course I am my dear Anna."

I giggled turning away to hide the blush forming on my cheeks. "Sure, you are Jerome."

Jerome chuckled; I looked back at him a smile on my face. He smiled too and I couldn't help but get lost in his beautiful crystal blue eyes. Slowly, I found myself inching closer to him. My heart began to pound in my chest when I noticed Jerome was moving towards me too, his eyes darting to my lips then back to my eyes. Was he really about to kiss me? Was I really about to kiss him? I felt my eyes flutter closed, I didn't care as long as I got to finally-

BRRIIIIINNNNGGGGGG

We jumped apart, both of us nearly falling over. Stupid school bell! We were so close- My eyes widened as the realization hit. Oh my gosh I almost kissed Jerome! JEROME!
