When I finished I heard footsteps coming I quickly put the equipment away and got my bag and gracefully climbed out of a open window as the door was opening.
I hid in the bushes below the window as whoever came in looked out of the window, I hope they don't see me. As I heard them retreat and close the door I let out a big breath that I didn't realise I was holding. I really didn't want anyone to find me, especially in such a vulnerable state.
I slowly made my way back to the house just taking in the scenery and appreciating the peace and quiet, lord know I won't be getting much of that soon. As I walked in the door and past the kitchen I noticed that it was nearly dinnertime, time had flown by between leaving and coming back.
I went up to my room, dumped my bag on the bed them flopped down onto it. I popped my earphones in tuning my music up high to drown out the laughing that I could hear down stairs, I really wasn't up to socialising tonight. Eventually I drifted off into sleep.
****Time skip*****(nothing really happened after that)
When I got up that morning I got out my uniform, I had made a few alterations from last time I wore it, the skirt was shorter and my blazer now had black lining. I wore black fingerless gloves, a few bracelets and a simple plain black choker. I did my make-up and made sure all my earrings were in (industrial, cartilage, lobes) including my nose ring, picked up my bag and headed downstairs to get breakfast.
The house was full of laughter when I came into the kitchen I got chorus of hello's and hey's, I said a quiet "hi" and grabbed a bagel, I realised Joy was back and was sitting in my seat. I didn't really care much, she can have it.
When I was about to walk out of the door I realised I hadn't put my Eye of Horus necklace on. I dumped my bag on the floor next to the door and ran up to get my necklace, when I came back I saw Jerome looking in my bag, "And what exactly do you think your doing?" "Err, oh is this your bag? My bad, bye" he said as he dropped the bag and ran to his room. No doubt I'll find out what that was about later.
As I walked to the school I couldn't help but think about what it's going to be like being back, has the word already gotten around that I'm back? What is it going to be like? The teachers will no doubt know what happened back home, I hope Sweetie doesn't say anything to Sweetie Jr, which would be bad. I couldn't stand the pity that I got from everyone back home, the sad looks and sympathetic smiles. People treated me like glass and I couldn't stand it, which was one of the reasons behind coming back.
As I walked into the school and went to my locker I noticed some of the looks I was getting from people around surprise, some shock, confusion and me. I can kind of understand, I don't exactly look like the sweet girl from last year, I'm not the same girl, and it's not just my appearance that's different. I put up a front before, it was a chance to be someone different, and while that was nice, it was also exhausting pretending, this is who I really am.
I looked at my schedule and naturally English was my first class, because why not. As I walked in, I noticed I was late, which was unlike the Nina they knew but not unusual as my usual self. "It's nice of you to grace us with your presence Ms. Martin" Called out Ms Andrews as I walked to a free seat, She must be covering for the normal teacher " oh you're very welcome" I replied with a slight smirk as I sat down. It's nice to know that she hasn't changed plus she wasn't giving me a pitying look so either that meant that Sweetie hasn't told the staff or she's treating me like normal, which if the latter, I would be grateful for. As the class went on I looked out the window, it was a nice day and I could see a tree that would look nice to relax under.
Jeromes POV
"It's nice for you to grace us with your presence Ms Martin" "Oh, you're very welcome" I listened to Nina reply, to say I was shocked is an understatement, the Nina I knew wouldn't speak back to a teacher that way. But then again, this doesn't seem like the Nina I knew, I watched her look out the window as I study her.
As I looked at her, she seems more relaxed, not as tense as she was before, like for the first time she's confortable with herself and her eyes, there's something about her eyes that seem sad, I wonder what happened to her over the summer.
"Mr Clarke, Ms Martin, would either of you be able to answer the question?" I had no idea what on earth she was talking about, but apparently Nina did, "She can't deal with the guilt, it consumes her. Lady Macbeth has no one to turn to anymore, so she does what she feels is the only way, she ends her life" she finished with a sad smile "correct, a least one of you are listening, Ms Martin, please see me at the end of the class"
A couple of minutes later the bell rang signalling the end of class and we all filed out of the room with Nina staying behind, I went to hide behind the corner but Ms Andrews shut the door so I couldn't here what was being said. As I turned around in defeat, I was faced with the rest of Anubis house "I wonder what's going on" said Mara, "She's probably being dress coded and given detention" replied Joy with a smirk on her face "I mean, did you see what she did to the uniform, no way is she getting away with that".
As I walked off I rolled my eyes at Joys attitude, god she can be such a bitch sometimes. She probably just feels threatened by Nina, everyone knows that she fancies Fabian and Fabian fancies Nina. I put the situation out of my mind and try to think up my next scheme.
Hey Guys, it's been what? 6 years? If there's anyone still out there, I'm sorry. I found the old chapters on an old hard drive, to be honest I forgot about this story, and I'm not good at writing. Here's a chapter, let me know what you think, hopefully my writing has improved. I can't promise regular updates, for all I know it may go silent for another 6 years . I've completely changed the direction of this story, so the original description has been changed, so will the pairings probably. I haven't watched the show in years, so I'm sorry if theirs some inaccuracies, also, lets pretend Eddie is already there.
Peace out,
Kat
