Chapter Text
"And finally, this is mine and Patricia's room, and officially yours too" Joy said. "Wow" was all the girl could say. "why are there two doors?" She asked. "Well, as you can probably tell, this is a really old house, and this room used to be two rooms, but they knocked down the wall so it would be one room" Joy told her.
"I love this place, I love the vibes, and I love Egyptian stuff, history is my favourite subject" Dana said. "Well then you should really be talking to Nina and Fabian, they're total geeks when it comes to history, especially Egyptian history" Joy laughed. "Nina, she's one of the other Americans, right?" Dana asked. "Yeah, she came last year, she basically took my place" Joy said. Dana gave her a confused look. "I'm just kidding, I left last year and Nina showed up on the same day. We're actually really close" said Joy. "Why'd you leave?". Joy looked down and her smile turned into a frown. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overstep, just curious, I guess" Dana said. "No, it's okay, I just... don't really like to talk about it". "Well, if you don't wanna talk about it, I won't ask", Dana half-smiled.
As the two girls were walking out their bedroom door, a girl swung her head out the door infront of them. The girls didn't notice this, as they were still chatting. Joy then noticed the movement at the corner of her eye and looked over to see Nina, with an awfully confused face, staring at the blonde. Nina saw Joy looking at her and slowly approached the two.
"Nina, this is Dana, she's the new girl", Joy told her. "Oh, I thought you weren't coming until later tonight?", Nina asked. "Yeah, I got the times mixed up because of the whole time-differance thing". Nina let her shoulders back and came to a realisation. "American?". "Yeah", Dana raised her eyebrows, "You too, you must be Nina". "Yeah, and you're Diana, was it?" Nina asked. "Dana, nice to meet you". Dana let out a hand, and Nina shook it. "Nice to meet you too".
"What is all this chatting about- Joy, Nina, who is this?", Amber asked as she walked out of her bedroom door and saw the blonde infront of her. "Amber, be nice" Nina warned. "This is the new student, Dana".
"Oh my goodness, you're the new girl? Oh well it's so lovely to meet you, I'm Amber!". "Hey-" as Dana started to speak, she was quickly interrupted by Amber. "Mara! Mara! Come out here, quick!". "What is is Amber? I have a test to study for!" Mara exclaimed.
"Mara, look it's the new girl!", Amber said excitedly. "Oh hello, I'm Mara". "Dana". The two girls shook hands.
"So you've met me, Neens, Ambs, Mara..." Joy said. "Jerome" Dana chipped in. "Jerome... and Patricia". "Oooh, how'd that go?" Nina asked. "Not well" Joy told her. "What? I thought it went ok" Dana said. "Yeah, our Trix isn't quite fond of the Americans", Amber said. "Should I be worried?" Dana asked. "Well, really if you just stay out of her way and don't insult her or the people she cares about, you should be okay". Joy told her. "Oh yeah, especially Eddie, she's really protective of him", Mara said. "I had to do an assignment with him, and she didn't speak to me for a week, and made sure we failed". Nina and Amber looked at each other and then back to the girls.
"Ok, so stay out of her way, don't insult her or you guys, and especially not this Eddie guy".
"Yup"
"Pretty much"
"Got it".
"Ooh Fabian, come here, I want you to meet someone!" Nina exclaimed as she ran down the steps in Anubis House. "Good morning to you too" Fabian laughed. "Haha, sorry, good morning", Nina gave him a quick peck on the cheek, "but seriously, come on!" Nina grabbed his hand and ran back up the stairs, basically dragging him.
Patricia huffed.
"Why so glum?", a familiar voice said. Patricia turned her head to see Eddie, walking in the doorway and grabbing a banana. "Just dreading having to go to school today" Patricia lied. Why did she lie, you might ask? She lied because she wanted just a few more hours with Eddie as her boyfriend, before he saw the gorgeous new blonde, and dropped her quicker than Alfie devouring dessert last Friday.
"Why aren't you dressed?" Patricia asked him. "I uh, oh wait, I forgot to put my uniform on.... now where did I leave it?" Eddie lied. "Ok, what's going on?" Patricia asked him. "Nothing! I just, okay so maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night" he admitted. Patricia was now really confused. She had seen him asleep last night. She was about to ask him another question but realised that he'd just make no sense.
You know, typical Eddie stuff.....
