Chapter 9: House of Locks & House of Eyes.
After waiting a few minutes Fabian slowly opened my door and we quietly walked back into the hall. I heard another door open and turned to see Amber walking out of her room as well. She walked over to us.
"Is he really still up there?" Fabian whispered loudly.
"Shh!" Amber hushed just as the attic door open. We gasped and ran into the bathroom hiding behind the wall. We all poked our heads out to see Victor locking the attic door. Wait, where's Nina? Is she still up there? Victor turned around stepping towards us then stopped looking around. We hid back inside the room until we heard him walk out of the hall. Once we were sure he was gone, we walked out.
"He hasn't got her." Amber whispered.
"Right, let's get the key from Patricia." Fabian said. Amber and I nodded as we ran over to her room.
"Patricia! Give me the key!" Fabian exclaimed as he opened the door.
Patricia sat up from her bed. "I haven't got it."
"Liar!" Amber said.
"Seriously! I haven't!" She told us.
"Where is it then?" Fabian asked.
I...I threw it out the window." She admitted sheepishly. My eyes widened as I shared a shocked and worried glance with Fabian and Amber. How could she throw the key out the window!
"You did what?" Fabian and I shouted.
"I'm sorry! I panicked!" Patricia said. Fabian groaned as he moved to the window next to him and looked out of it.
"Which window? This one?" Fabian asked.
Patricia nodded. "I think it fell in the bushes."
"We won't be able to look for it till morning." Amber said glaring at Patricia.
I groaned. "What a mess."
"I think we should go and tell Victor everything." Amber suggested as the three of us went to leave.
"No! We can't do that!" Patricia yelled.
"But we can't just leave her up there!" Fabian yelled back. He turned to Amber and I. "Come on."
We quietly walked out of the room and closed the door watching the hallway door to make sure Victor wouldn't hear us. We quietly crept towards the attic and Fabian whispered Nina's name. Nothing. We got closer and Fabian said her name louder. Suddenly the door opened and Nina tumbled out scaring the heck out of all us. How did she open the door?
She looked at us. "Hi...what's the matter you guys look like you've seen a ghost?"
"How did you-" Amber began but stopped when Nina held up a bobby pin. Well that explains how she got out. We quietly laughed.
"Shh you'll wake Victor up again." Fabian whispered as Nina went to lock the door. "Are you okay?"
Nina turns to look at him and nods. "Yeah."
"What was it like up there?" I asked.
"See any ghosts?" Amber added. I gave her a look, she shrugged.
"No, just mice, some spiders…possibly a rat." Nina told us as walked towards our rooms.
I scrunched my nose up in disgust. "Ew, that's so gross."
"You're so brave." Amber replied linking their arms. We reached the end of the hall. Amber looked around then turned to us. "Night you guys. See you in the morning."
"Night."
Amber smiled then went into her room.
I turned to the two. "I'm off to bed too. Night guys."
"Night."
I gave them a wave as I walked back into my room. I crawled back into my bed exhausted from everything and fell asleep.
"Ugh, I can't believe I woke up late." I mumble as pulled on my school uniform. I wore a white button up shirt with a grey cardigan over with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows, a black skirt with a floral design, fishnet stockings and black ankle boots. I brushed out my hair then put it in a side ponytail. I added some black, silver and purple bracelets, diamond silver music note stud earrings, did my makeup and I was done.
I grabbed my bag then quickly made my way to the kitchen. Well I tried to anyway. The moment I ran down the stairs I knocked into something causing both me and whatever I ran into to fall.
"Oh good, you're up." My head snapped up realizing that I had fallen on top of Jerome. I felt my cheeks redden in embarrassment.
"Yeah…woke up late. Sorry for running into you. Are you okay?" I ask.
He nods . "Yeah, I'm good."
"Good." I replied. I gazed into his eyes as he did into mine but then I remembered we had school in fifteen minutes and snapped out of it. "I should probably get up…."
"Huh? Oh right…unless you'd like to stay like this all day." He smirks. "I certainly wouldn't mind."
I laugh. "In your dreams Jerome." I stand up then hold out my hand for Jerome which he took. Just as I was helping him up, Alfie ran out of nowhere and grabbed Jerome's shoe.
"Ha ha! Got your shoe!" He yells running out of the house.
"Well okay then." I say while Jerome stood up again.
He groans. "ALFIE!"
I giggled. "Better go get your shoe before he hides it somewhere."
He rolls his eyes. "I suppose I have no choice. Catch you later, yeah?"
I nod. "Of course." He smiles then runs out the door.
I shake my head. "Boys."
"So, I see you and Nina have been getting quite cozy lately." I grin as Fabian and I walk to our next class.
"I guess." He blushes then changes the subject. "How come you woke up so late this morning?"
I sighed. "Exhausted from yesterday, which reminds me…you know how you told me, well mum too, not to tell Amber about Mara liking Mick and letting them figure this out for themselves?"
He raises his eyebrows. "Yeah, why?"
"Well…I kinda told her…"
"What! Anna!" Fabian exclaimed.
"I'm sorry! She kept asking me! But then I told her that I didn't know for sure…and that it's going to be something they would need to talk about and she agreed but then-"
"She kissed Alfie to make Mick jealous." Fabian finished. "See, that is why you shouldn't have said anything."
"I know! I'm a horrible person!" I exclaimed. Maybe I;m being over dramatic but I really felt bad.
He places his arm over my shoulders. "You're not a horrible person, you were just trying to be a good friend. "
I sigh. "Yeah, I just feel bad because I know Alfie likes Amber. This is like a really weird love square."
"Love square?" Fabian asks smirking.
"Yeah! Amber likes Mick and he likes Amber but Mara also likes Mick and Alfie likes Amber."
"Right, I didn't understand a word of that." He says laughing.
I groan. "Whatever…wait you didn't ask about Alfie liking Amber. Did you already know?"
He rolls his eyes. "Everyone knows."
I laugh. "Yeah, it's quite obvious isn't it?"
He nods. "Just a bit."
I giggle. "Come on, let's get to class."
"You see, my plan totally worked after all." Amber says pulling Nina and I into her room showing us her bed which had a note written on it with letter sweets that read:
Meet me in the laundry room tonight? 11 pm? XXX
"Mick wants to me in the laundry room tonight. I've obviously made him wild with jealousy and now he want's to apologize with his bad behavior with Mara and kiss and make up." Amber explains excitedly. Nina and I glance at each other uncertainly as Amber runs to her closet picking out dresses.
"I'm sure that's true, if he's the one who sent the message." Nina tells her.
"Of course he is!" Amber says placing a dress on her bed and pulling out another. "Nina, sometimes I think you miss so much because you're an American." We laugh shaking our heads.
"Actually, I agree with Nina here and I'm pretty sure I'm British." I say chuckling. Amber rolls her eyes. "I'm serious Ambs, how do you know it's Mick?"
"Well, who else would it be? I know it's not Jerome or Fabian, and it can't be Alfie so it must be Mick. Obviously." Amber says holding out another dress.
"Alright Amber, if you say so." Nina says shrugging. I nod, though there was a possibility of it being Alfie then again it could also be Mick. I guess Amber will have to wait and see tonight.
"Good, now help me pick out the perfect dress." Amber grins holding up the dresses she picked. Oh, boy this may take awhile.
I walked into the kitchen in need of a drink. I can't believe it's been a hour and Amber still hasn't picked out a dress. Well, this is Amber we're talking about, so I'm not that surprised. I open the fridge grabbing the pitcher of lemonade placing it on the counter. I was just about to grab a glass when Jerome walked in laughing.
I raised my eyebrows grabbing the glass. "And you're laughing because?"
He smirked. "Oh no reason."
"Uh huh, I know there's a reason." I tell him pouring out some lemonade. "I'm just trying to decide if I want to know."
He looks at me. "What makes you think you need to know?"
"Because you're you and you are always scheming." I tell him taking a sip.
He shrugs. "True, but don't worry love. This isn't a scheme, just a little prank…a sweet one." He chuckles. My head snaps towards him.
"A what one?" I ask suspiciously.
"Nothing, nothing." He replies.
I give him a look but before I could reply Amber walks in.
"There you are! I finally picked out a dress but I need help with shoes and accessories." She says grabbing my arm. "Which you are good at picking out, so let's go!"
I laugh. "Alright, alright. Relax Ambs." She rolls her eyes and pulls me out of the kitchen.
"So, tell me everything, how did the date go?" I ask Amber as I open my locker grabbing my history book.
She shrugs. "I wouldn't know."
I look at her. "What do you mean?"
"He didn't even show up! I waited there all night and I even fell asleep!" Amber exclaims sadly.
I frown giving her a hug. "I'm sorry Amber."
She sighs. "It's alright, it wasn't you fault. You know what's funny though? When I was there Alfie came in. He was dressed weird too."
"Alfie?" I ask closing my locker. "Why was he down there?"
"He said to grab a shirt but then he held up was Patricia's I think. So, obvious he was lying." She tells me.
"Amber…do you think, maybe, it was Alfie who sent you the message?" I say as we headed towards class. I had a strong feeling it was Alfie. Everyone knows he likes her…except for Amber of course.
She shakes her head. "Alfie? No way! Why would he send me a message like that?"
"Well, maybe he likes you? Plus you did kiss him in Drama class. He might think you like him too." I explain.
"What? He does not like me besides, that kiss was to make Mick jealous nothing more and he knows that I like Mick." She tells me.
"You should talk to him then, because I don't think he knows that kiss was for Mick to be jealous." I say. "I really think he does like you Amber."
She groans. "Why must boys be so complicated."
I smirk. "Because their boys." We laugh.
"Oh! That reminds me! Guess who I saw sneaking out last night?" She asks excitedly.
"I don't know? Who?" I say as we reached class.
"Fabian and Nina." She squeals. "I don't know what they were doing but I totally think they were having a secret date! How cute would that be?"
My eyes widen and a smile forms on my face. "No way! Aw, they would be so cute together!"
"I know right!" Amber exclaims. I laugh and we sit down just as Mrs. Andrews walks in beginning class.
Fabian, Nina, Amber and I walked into Anubis House just finishing school, but the moment we walked in Victor was there glaring at us.
He held out his hand. "Coats and bags please."
"What? Why?" I ask.
He looks at me. "Because I said so, now give!" We groan and hand them over. I notice Fabian give Nina a worried glance before they gave their things to Victor. I glance at Fabian eyebrows raised but he just frowns and looks away. Well that was weird.
"I'll give them back later, now off you go!" Victor yells. We nod as the girls and I quickly go up the stairs while Fabian runs down the hall. I give Fabian another glance wondering what he and Nina were up to. I barely saw them all day besides when we walked to class. Are they secretly dating, or is something else going on? And if there is why wouldn't he tell me?
