Hey this is my first HOA fanfiction! I decided to venture away from the normal couples of HOA and add a bit of a twist to it! I hope you enjoy! Also, please review so I know if I'm doing a good job! The first chapter just basically sets things up, so it is kinda short! Anyways, I do not own House of Anubis... now that that is out of the way, READ ON!

Chapter 1: 3rd person point of view

"Ok everyone, we are going to play the Couples Game!" told Jerome to the students of House of Anubis. It was Friday night, and Nina, Amber, Fabian, Patricia, Mara, Mick, and Alfie were listening to Jerome explain his idea of what they should all do.

"What is the Couples Game?" asked Patricia, "It sounds dumb."

Jerome mocked fake hurt. "Ouch, that really hurt Patricia. Anyways, the Couples Game goes like this: In my hand, I hold a hat that contains the names of each male student of this house. One by one, each girl will randomly draw one of the names from the hat. Whosever name they draw is the person they have to go on a date with!"

Mara looked concerned. "But what if you are already dating someone?"

Jerome shook his head. "Doesn't matter! Don't worry; this doesn't count as cheating in any way, just a little interhouse mingling!"

Mara still didn't look convinced, but decided to let Jerome finish.

"Now," he continued, "the terms of the date are: it must be at a public place, must be at least two hours, and the men will choose the venue and time. Got it?"

Everyone nodded hesitantly. Jerome asked the girls to stand in a line, and then walked up to Patricia, allowing her to take a random slip of paper, then to Nina, then Amber, then Mara. While waiting for the hat to be passed around, so many thoughts were running through each person's mind.

Please let it be Fabian, thought Nina while Fabian thought, Please let Nina get me. Alfie was hoping for Amber, Mick and Mara were hoping for each other, and Patricia was slightly hoping for Jerome. Once all the girls had their papers, Jerome told each one to open them.

Patricia opened hers. "Mick?" Nina opened hers. "Jerome?" Amber then opened hers. "Fabian?" And lastly Mara opened hers although she already knew it was Alfie. Everyone stared in disbelief. The couples were not at all paired right. Mick and Patricia? Nina and Jerome? Fabian and Amber? Mara and Alfie?

There was a long, awkward silence between all of them before Jerome finally said, "So Mick, you and Patricia are first for your date, followed by Nina and I, Amber and Fabian, and Mara and Alfie."

Mick nodded. Where was he supposed to take Patricia on a date? Mara is his girlfriend, and he has to go on a date with Patricia? At that moment, most of the students of Anubis house hated Jerome Clark.
