Author's Note - This is a fairly short chapter, sorry. I'll make then next one longer, but this was just kinda an introdution, so that's why it's slightly short. Oh, and if you have any ideas for some of the secrets, feel free to put them in the review, or PM them to me, I might just use them.

Disclaimer - I do not own House of Anubis, or any of the characters.

Nina and Fabian walked to the dining room table - Nina sat at the end of the table with Fabian to her right. "So, Nina, where did you hide the Cup?" Fabian asked curiously. He'd been trying to get it out of her since the start of the new term. They'd already been back a week, but it had only felt like a day. Joy hadn't been able to stay in Anubis House, as there wasn't enough space, so she was moved into a different house. She stayed friends with the others, but spent more time with her new friends.

"Like I said before," Nina replied, "you'll never know." She winked before turning around to face Patricia who had just walked in. "Hey, Patricia, what was happening in your room last night, I couldn't get to sleep from all the noise?"

Patricia just smiled and sat down at the opposite end of the table to Nina.

"What's up with her?" Fabian whispered, making Nina laugh. "I think she might be going crazy!" Nina smiled.

"Like she wasn't already," Nina joked. Patricia gave her and Fabian and evil glare. "Sorry," Nina laughed.

Jerome walked into the room, something red covering his jaw. It looked like dried blood, and he had a black eye. "Jerome..." Patricia whispered, looking at the prankster. He just looked back at her before collapsing to the floor. No one got up to help him, as they knew this was another prank, which Nina guessed Patricia helped with.

"Very funny Jerome," Fabian said sarcastically, but Jerome didn't move. "You're definitley going all out this time."

Jerome coughed and sat up on the floor. "You could have at least helped," he said, trying to sound annoyed, but he didn't fool anyone. "Do you guys know what's happening at supper today, Alfie told me that Amber told him we'd all be doing something unsual today, but you never know with Amber..."

Nina looked at him. "Yeah, apparently it's a sort of task that you have to do, I don't know." She looked at Fabian who shrugged.

At that moment, Alfie walked in and sat down a seat away from Fabian. Jerome went and sat down opposite him. Fabian was looking around the room. "Where is Amber anyway?"

"She's just finishing doing her hair," Nina answered, "or something." Everyone looked around at each other, and didn't notice Mick or Mara walk in. Mara sat next to Jerome, and Mick sat between Fabian and Alfie.

Trudy walked in, carrying some plates of food. "Where's Amber?" she asked. "Amber!" Trudy called.

"Coming!" Amber replied. She came down and sat at the last avaliable place. "So, did anyone find out what's happening today?"

Trudy finished putting everyone's plates down and said, "You're all going to get a piece of paper, and you have to write down a secret no one else knows. Then-"

"Why?" Alfie interupted.

"To see whether you can trust other people in your house or not," Trudy answered. "As I was saying; then you pass that piece of paper to the person I tell you to. That person can only discuss your secret with you, and if they tell another person, will face 'terrible consequences' as Victor put it." Trudy held out the blank pieces of paper.

"Sounds like fun," Nina said, taking one of the pieces of paper and jotting down her secret. Everyone took a piece of paper, and wrote down one of their secrets.

"Right," Trudy started, "now you have to pass it to the person on your left." Everyone did as they were told, even though some were reluctant to do so at first. "Just enjoy your meal before you read the secret now."

Everyone ate their meal in silence, and when they were finished, Nina opened up Fabian's piece of paper, and read the secret. She gave him a strange look. Everyone read the other person's secret, then Amber asked to talk to Nina outside about her secret.

They went out into the hallway, and Amber said, "I don't get your secret, 'When I got to the house I had a huge crush on a prankster.' What does that mean?" Nina sighed.

"It means when I first got to the house, I had a crush on Jerome." She looked away, embarassed.

"Jerome!" Amber almost yelled, but instead forced herself to whisper. "But, EW, just EW."

"Hey!" Nina said. "Like I said, I had a crush on him, not anymore."

"Who do you like now then?" Amber asked curiously.

"I wonder, maybe the boy who was my date to the prom?" Amber was trying to think about who that was.

"Awwh, you like Fabian!" she said, after realising who Nina meant.

"Don't tell anyone either of my secrets, okay? I was only meant to say one, but if you do tell then something bad is very likely to happen." She smiled evilly. Amber looked frightened. "Don't worry, I won't do anything. Just don't tell, ok?"

Amber looked relieved. "I can keep a secret," she said, before skipping off to the dining room. Nina went back in after Amber and noticed Patricia giving Jerome a strange look. 'Wonder what his secret is then...' she thought.
