PATRICIA POV

I walked into the student longue after the end of classes only to find most of our house sitting there talking. I smiled when my eyes landed on Eddie sitting in one of the comfy chairs. We had been dating for the last few months and I just couldn't get enough of him. I was glad I finally admitted how I felt about him and we could have a real relationship, not that thing we had going on before.

Eddie smiled his dazzling white smile at me when his chocolate brown eyes met mine. I made my way over to him and dropped my bag next to his chair and settled in on his lap giving him a quick kiss on the lips. It was obvious Eddie wanted more than just a quick kiss when he captured my lips again in a longing kiss.

"The lovebirds are back," Joy moaned from her spot next to Amber on the couch.

"Aww…don't be that way Joy. They are so cute together," Amber squealed in her usual Amber way.

"You say that about everyone Amber," Joy pointed out.

"Because it's true," Amber countered.

"Just because you don't have a boyfriend Joy, it doesn't mean you have to be all anti love on us," I laughed as I pulled away from Eddie's warm and welcoming lips.

"I'm with Joy on this one. It's getting to be kind of much, especially with all these couples," Mick joined in.

"You're in the same boat as Joy, you don't have a girlfriend Mick so you're all anti love too," Nina pointed out from the couch she was currently cuddling on with Fabian.

"Oooh! You and Mick should get together!" Amber squealed as she stared at Joy with excited, bulging eyes.

Joy and Mick exchanged a look and both answered, "Not happening Amber."

"Oh come on," Amber pouted. "At least let me have a little fun."

"Give it a rest Ambs," Alfie smiled as he came over to sit next to his girlfriend, he had just finished canoodling with Jerome.

"They've all lost their minds," I leaned in and whispered to Eddie.

"Tell me about it," he whispered back with a smile. "Amber's been going on about Mick and Joy getting together for the last twenty minutes."

"That must have been brutal to sit through," I sympathized.

"It was agony," Eddie joked.

"Hey! Stop whispering over there. There are no secrets between us," Joy teased as she spotted Eddie and I talking.

"Actually Joy, some things are better left as secrets," I said with a wink.

"You've got me there Patricia," Joy laughed. "Like every little detail of a date with Eddie would be better left a secret."

"Or how you are planning on trying to seduce Fabian again," I countered with a teasing smile.

"Exactly," Joy laughed. "Don't worry Nin, I'm over Fabs for the time being," Joy corrected before Nina could interrupt.

"Let's keep it that way," Fabian teased.

"I'm hurt," Joy feigned hurt at Fabians comment. She was over Fabian for the time being…but no one knew how long that was going to last.

"Hey sis!" Piper greeted as she came into the lounge followed by Poppy.

"Hey," I smiled as my twin sister. Piper had decided to come back and try going to school here. I wasn't thrilled at first, but when she wasn't trying to take over my life it was actually nice having her here. There was always someone to go to and it was nice having my twin sister to talk to, especially when Joy got fed up with the whole me and Eddie thing.

Piper and Poppy went over and sat on the stage and started to talk between themselves. Poppy and Piper had clicked which was great because that meant I didn't really have to share all of my friends with my sister.

"Hey Jerome, where's Mara?" I asked as I noticed that Mara was the only House of Anubis-er that was missing.

"She's meeting with Mr. Sweet and her parents for some reason," Jerome answered. Jerome and Mara had been dating since the night they had kissed after everything with the Mask of Anubis had gone down.

"About her article on Vera?" Joy asked with concern.

"I don't know," Jerome shrugged.

"Maybe Sweetie's apologizing now that he knows Mara's article was true," Amber suggested.

"Possible, but not likely," Eddie cut in. "If my dad was apologizing he'd be making a big deal about it, like a public announcement of something."

"Huh, I wonder what she's up to then," Amber said with interest.

"Why don't you ask her yourself?" I stated as Mara walked into the room.

"Hey everyone, I have something to tell you," Mara announced as she walked over to where we were all sitting.

"What's up Mar?" Mick voiced the question we all were thinking.

"I just got done talking to Mr. Sweet and my parents and its official," Mara exclaimed with an excited smile.

"What's official?" Joy asked.

"I got into Mockington Academy, the prestigious literary school where all the famous journalist graduate from!" Mara explained with so much excitement.

"I've heard of that," Fabian said. "That place is really hard to get into."

"Terribly hard," Mara nodded. "But I got in and I start Monday!" she exclaimed. It was Friday, today was apparently Mara's last day here.

"Congratulations!" Amber squealed and everyone else joined in.

As everyone congratulated Mara on her huge achievement I watched Jerome's reaction. He was sitting stock still in his chair and he was pale, even for him. There was no way he knew anything about this. He had been as in the dark as everyone else was. I could see the wheels turning in his head and see his face fall even farther as it sunk in that his girlfriend was leaving in two days to go to some school he had never heard of before. I actually felt kind of sorry for him and that's saying a lot because I never feel sorry for anyone.

Poppy and Piper

"Wow! I can't believe Mara is going to Mockington Academy!" Piper exclaimed in awe. "That is such a great school."

"It might be a great school, but did you see the look on my brother's face when she told them?" Poppy asked as she watched everyone congratulate Mara.

"He looks devastated. Do you think he knew?" Piper asked as she looked at Jerome.

"He didn't know. He's as shocked as we are," Poppy nodded sagely.

"What will he do?" Piper asked.

"I don't know, what would you do if you're girlfriend told you she was leaving in three days to go to another school?" Poppy asked.

"First off, I wouldn't have a girlfriend," Piper laughed. "And second I'd be devastated."

"Do you think he'll try to stop her?" Poppy asked with excitement building.

"There's only one way to find out," Piper smiled.

"And how's that?" Poppy asked.

"We keep watching and find out," Piper answered with a devious smile.

"This will be fun!" Poppy smiled her own devious smile.

"Definitely," Piper laughed a slightly devilish laugh.
