Hi guys! Started a new story. I'm so proud. Well...I don't own House of Anubis! Pairings, you might be wondering about. If you've seen my profile, I bet you can guess.

"What's the square root of 5,184?" Fabian Rutter questioned his best friend as they walked to school.

"Um...67?" Joy suggested.

"Close." Fabian chuckled. "72."

"You know I suck at math!" Joy swatted at his arm playfully.

"Maybe if you weren't always obsessing over Twilight you'd be better at it." Fabian joked, making Joy gasp over dramatically.

"Take that back!" Joy said.

"Twilight is not worth anyone's time." Fabian challenged.

"You've done it this time, Fabes." Joy inched closer. Fabian eyed her nervously, already knowing she was out for blood. "So now you must pay the ultimate price..." She began to tickle his sides, making him erupt into laughter.

"Joy-!" Fabian wheezed. "S-Stop it!"

"Fabian's ticklish!" Joy chanted. Fabian, dedicated not to let her win, began to tickle back.

"Fabes!" Joy laughed as well, trying to push him away and giving up her tickling.

"C'mon, do you give up?" Fabian smiled.

"No!" Joy went right back to tickling him, making him drop his defenses. Joy jumped on his back, making him reel over. "Give up, Rutter?"

"Ow!" Fabian fell over, their bodies intertwined as they hit the grass. Joy wrapped an arm around his torso, keeping his forehead pressed to the wet grass.

"C'mon, give up?" Joy mimicked him.

"Alright, alright, I give up." Fabian yelped. "Now get off me!" Joy triumphantly got up, brushing grass from her uniform as Fabian sat up, brushing forward his shaggy, unkempt hair.

"We're going to be late!" Joy shreiked in realization. "Race you!" The graceful brunette took off towards their school, her best friend hurrying after her, mumbling about cheating.

"Tell me, do I look like I'm gaining weight?" Patricia Williamson asked her friend, Joy Mercer as they sat inside a rowdy classroom in free period.

"You look perfect to me, babe." Jerome Clarke smiled lazily at his girlfriend from across the room.

"I didn't ask you." Patricia retorted, making his smile grow.

"Feisty, feisty, feisty." Jerome shook his head, taunting her to challenge him. Patricia rolled her eyes, standing up.

"I'm skipping class today. See you, Joy." Patricia said, slinging her bag over her shoulder.

"Again?" Joy asked, but Patricia ignored her comment.

"No goodbye kiss, sweetheart?" Jerome mocked.

"In your dreams, Clarke. Stop being an idiot." Patricia said.

"True, but I'm your idiot." Jerome clicked his tongue, taunting her.

"How you two are together is beyond me." Joy mumbled. Patricia sighed, caving in as she sat down by Jerome.

"I knew you wouldn't resist, Trixie." Jerome said, his ever present smirk still there. Patricia kissed him...gently at first...but it began to deepen, Jerome sliding his hands under her shirt and Patricia's fingers tangling in his hair. Joy looked away, wishing Fabian was there.

"Get a room, losers." Amber said, flipping her hair as she glanced over Patricia and Jerome. Jerome pulled away from Patricia, his smirk flashing.

"Jealous, Millington?" Jerome said.

"Ew." a brief look of guilt flashed through Amber's eyes. Jerome just gave his knowing smile as her boyfriend, Alfie, came up behind her.

"Do you have a problem, Clarke?" Alfie challenged. Alfie was thin and wiry, not as tall as Jerome and not nearly as intimidating, but they both knew who had the better chance of winning. Jerome just glanced at his ex best friend, his smirk falling off his face as he glanced over the couple.

"C'mon Alfie. Let's go somewhere we can be appreciated." Amber said with a final toss of her hair, Alfie right on her heels, her bag in his hand.

"Alfie Lewis, first class servant." Jerome taunted as he walked by. Alfie ignored him.

"Well see you, 'losers'." Patricia imitated Amber, walking right out of the classroom.

"She's a good one." Jerome said, his eyes glued to her butt as she walked out. Joy looked away, tired of how sleazy Jerome was.

"Hey. Joy, right?" Mara slid into the seat beside Joy. Joy looked up at the girl. She knew who she was. Mara Jaffray, girlfriend to Mick Campbell, who also happened to be Amber's ex boyfriend.

"Right. Hi." Joy said.

"So. Are you involved in any clubs?" Mara gave her a glowing smile.

"I'm no slut. Don't try to worm any secrets from me." Joy scowled at the girl.

"What? No, no, I'm not like that." Mara assured Joy. "You just seemed lonely. I know what's its like, being alone."

"You do?" Joy lowered her defenses, looking at the popular girl before her. "But you're dating..."

"Mick." Mara finished. "He's the first guy who ever really took the time to know me, you know?"

"Really? So Jerome never tried anything over you?" Joy glanced at Jerome, who was grinning charmingly at KT, the girlfriend of Eddie Miller-Sweet.

"I don't really know Jerome." Mara shrugged.

"Oh come on. He's got the looks, the charm, you've never been bothered by him?" Joy said, not believing it.

"Before last term, I was invisible." Mara admitted. "Boys don't notice me."

"They do now." Joy mumbled, seeing Eddie glancing over Mara before taking a seat beside KT.

"I'm not interested in anyone but Mick." Mara said surely.

"Wow. That's loyal of you." Joy said, examining her desk. Mara, sensing her discomfort, quickly changed the subject.

"So how about you?" Mara asked. "Who are you seeing?" Joy started to laugh.

"Me? No, I'm not seeing anyone." Joy said.

"Really? But you're really pretty! And boys know you, don't they?" Mara asked.

"The only boys who know me are Fabian and Jerome." Joy snickered. "And if Jerome knows you, that's not good."

"Fabian." Mara echoed. "He's in my advanced math class. He did know who I was."

"Fabian's a sweetheart." Joy smiled at the thought of him. "He's kind to everyone. I'm not surprised he'd know you. He's my best friend."

"Ohhh." Mara nodded knowingly. Joy looked up, bewildered by her tone.

"What?"

"You like him..." Mara smiled.

"What? No! He's my best friend and that's all!" Joy insisted. "Of course, I think he doesn't really like anyone."

"It's obvious he's saving himself for you!" Mara said.

"I don't believe that." Joy shook her head. The bell rang. "Well it was nice talking to you, Mara."

"Likewise." Mara gave her a radiant smile, gathering her books. Joy was quick to wait outside History, where Fabian was exiting.

"Fabes!" Joy said.

"Hey, Joy." Fabian smiled at her. "C'mon, we have lunch next, right?"

"How can I forget? I'm starving!" Joy smiled, taking his arm and leading him away.

"Took you long enough." Jerome said, raising an eyebrow as the door to the janitor's closet opened.

"Alfie is so clingy." Amber Millington said, closing the door behind her. "Sometimes I want to dump him."

"Hm. But then you and I couldn't be together still." Jerome said.

"Like I care. I don't want to be with you." Amber said. "You're a nobody."

"Insults. Quite the challenge, aren't you?" Jerome teased.

"I'm the challenge." Amber crossed her arms.

"Right, and that's why you're here every lunch period, with me." Jerome clarified.

"Shut up. Can we get this started before lunch ends?" Amber demanded.

"Gladly." Jerome grinned, wrapping his arms around her waist as their lips crashed together.

"Hey Alfie, where's Amber?" KT asked as Alfie sat down with her and Eddie.

"At a school play thing." Alfie said.

"She always has an excuse, huh?" KT said. "She's never with us during lunch."

"You don't wonder, Alfie?" Eddie asked. "What's she's really doing?"

"I trust her." Alfie said. "She wouldn't lie to me."

"Willow! Hey, over here." KT waved her over. Willow just pursed her ruby red lips, almost considering to ignore her, before sliding in with them.

"Amber's not here?" she asked sharply. She and Amber were good friends. Some people said Willow had a crush on Amber, of course it was rumors. Even more rumors were that she liked Alfie and Jerome.

"Not today." Eddie said, glancing over at Alfie, who glanced down at his food.

"Hey guys." Nina approached the group, giving her cheerful smile, instantly making Eddie smile. The two Americans shared a deep bond; they were like brother and sister.

"Nina, tell me you've figured out our new routine." Willow said, examining her nails.

"It's not exactly your problem, Willow, Amber's the team captain." Nina said.

"I'm just saying..." Willow popped a lollipop in her mouth. "It wouldn't hurt for me to know it. A kind of, heads up."

"Why do I hang out with you self-absorbed cheerleaders?" Eddie joked.

"Because you love us." KT kissed him, a quick peck on the lips.

"Because I love you." Eddie smiled down at her.

"Gag me." Alfie muttered.

"I'm sorry, what, Alfie?" KT asked innocently. "I'm sure Amber would love to know..."

"Nothing." Alfie said quickly, and their group burst into laughter.

"Mara, don't you want to sit with my friends?" Mick asked his girlfriend, seeing his best friends Eddie and Alfie, along with the cheerleaders.

"I'd rather not, Mick." Mara said. "I want it to be us today."

"It's always us, babe." Mick gave her his charming smile. Mara knew it was all she dreamed of. She never had friends before she and Mick dated. Now she was hanging out with cheerleaders.

"Look, there's Joy and Fabian. Want to join them?" Mara asked, seeing the two best friends sitting together, with a familiar looking redhead beside them.

"Well I don't know. Fabian was my best mate growing up." Mick said agreeably. "And Joy was a good friend, too. But they're mixed in with the bad crowd, you know. Jerome Clarke, the womanizer. Patricia Williamson, the punk rebel. They're nice people, sure, but Fabian's a bit...nerdy. And Joy is just the innocent, nice girl alongside it all."

"You said they were nice people." Mara insisted.

"Look, babe, let's leave them be, yeah?" Mick said. "We can go some other day. My friends are waiting." He walked towards his friends, tray in hand.

"Right, lunchtime with your ex girlfriend and a bunch of girls who hated me. No pressure." Mara mumbled to herself, walking after him, not aware that Amber wasn't there...

Well it's going okay. Writing fit for House of Anubis right now. I'll probably be addicted again to My babysitters a vampire when they freakin make a third season! So...please review, favorite, follow, the works! Love you guys!
