Thankyou Noella Marsha for reviewing my last chapter, and thanks to everyone who read it. Again please tell me what you think. If you hate it please tell me. I hope you all like this chapter, it might be really strange but anything you don't understand please tell me because some things will be explained in later chapters. And if the characters seem a little out (especially the boys) it will be explained later. :)

I don't own House of Anubis if I did this probably wouldn't be a fanfiction ;)

"Hi" I looked up and saw Fabian. My phone buzzed. 'Mum' I opened the message. "Is Nina in here?" I burst into tears. 'Alex, Dad in Hospital. Not sure what's wrong yet.' "What's wrong?" he said coming over obviously feeling awkward.

"M-my d-d-dad…" I said showing him the text. He put the phone down and hugged me as I cried on him. He's such a nice guy. "Thank you" I mumbled into his shoulder. I felt like such a kid, but I couldn't help it.

"Fabian…?" he shifted slightly.

"Nina, Wait!" he called as the door slammed. I let him stand up, tears still running down my cheeks. I saw him look towards the door and back at me a couple of times. I guess I was more of wreck than I thought because he came back and sat on bed hugging me again.

"What about Nina?" I asked

"Nina has Amber." He said, "Sadly you'll have to put up with me." I smiled slightly.

I heard the door creak open.

"Why is Nina crying... Fabian?" the whiny voice said, I heard the door slam again and Fabian sighed.

"You can go if you want" I mumbled letting him go again. He headed for the door.

I heard him talking to someone outside my door.

"Jerome could you please go in there, Alex has a problem and I need to find Nina."

"What's in it for me?" Jerome replied

"I'll do your chores for a week" Aww he's really sweet.

"2 weeks"

"10 days."

"Deal"

"Thanks" I heard Fabian say

The door opened and I looked up to find Jerome was Goldilocks!

"So Newbie…"

"My name is Alex" I muttered under my breath

"Gesundheit" he replied. I smiled slightly.

"I said my name is Alex" I said.

"Oh right. Isn't that a boy's name" he replied his blue eyes twinkled mischievously.

"It's a nickname. It's short for Alexis." I stated.

"I had a dog named Alexis once… we called her Lexi, I think it's more suited to you. Don't you think, Lexi" he said. I laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Thanks, so now I'm named after a dog" I rubbed my eyes.

"Let's play a game" he said. "I guess stuff about you and you tell me if it's wrong or right and you have to answer truthfully"

"Ok," I said, I could tell by the way his eyebrows raised slightly he was surprised I accepted, I smirked. "On one condition. I get to ask you questions under the same conditions."

He thought for a second. "Deal"

"Good, you go first." I smirked gesturing to the bed. He sat down.

"Ok" he said leaning back. "Tell me if I'm wrong. Not the first time you've been away, confident, don't have siblings, favourite colour white and you're sporty. How did I do?"

"Nothing wrong… what gave it away?"

"Well you show no signs of nervousness about being at a boarding school but you look slightly uncomfortable with the amount of people, so you've been away before but no siblings. Confident because of your use of sarcasm when we had only just met, sporty because of the way your hair is tied back and white is the most repeated colour on your outfit." He said smirking.

"You're really good at this you know."

"Good at what?" he replied frowning in suspicion.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in" I said.

"Hey is Nina in… Jerome what did you do?" Patricia said coming in.

"It wasn't him" I said looking up at him, his blue eyes had dimmed to a greyish colour.

"See you later newbie."

"Bye" I said as he walked out, Patricia left as well. A tear ran down my cheek again.

…

I woke up with the sound of a hairdryer. I sat up to see Amber blow drying her hair.

"What time is it?" I yawned.

"7.30" Nina replied. I turned to face her.

"Nina, I'm sorry about last night." I said.

"It's ok, Fabian told me everything. I hope your dad's ok." She replied coming over and giving me a hug.

"Its pneumonia, we thought he just had flu. He's on antibiotics now though and he has to stay in hospital for a bit but the doctors told mum he should be out in a couple of days." I gave a small smile.

"That's good" she replied.

"What time does school start?" I asked aware I was still in yesterday's clothes and needed a shower.

"You have and hour and a half, but breakfast is in 45 minutes." Amber replied.

"Thanks" I said grabbing my uniform, wash bag and towel. "Err… the bathroom is…?"

"Across the hall" they both said.

…

45 minutes later I was walking into breakfast.

"Hey" Everyone except Jerome said

"Hey" I smiled heading to my seat. Jerome had a smirk on his face.

"Hello newbie." He said.

"Hello Goldilocks" I replied

"Are you alright, Alex?" Mick asked earning him a glare from Mara.

"Yes thanks Mick" I replied grabbing a croissant. I glanced at Fabian 'Thank you' I mouthed, 'No problem' he mouthed back.

…

After breakfast I caught up with Nina, Amber and Fabian.

"What's up?" I asked suspiciously as they stopped talking when I got close.

"Nothing" Nina replied.

"Ok, what's first lesson."

"Erm… History I think" Fabian replied.

"With Mr. Winkler, who's totally hot by the way" Amber added. We all laughed.

…

"Welcome back, everyone" Mr Winkler said as we entered the classroom.

"Mr Winkler, this is Alex" Fabian said.

"Nice to meet you Alex, there's a spare seat next to Jerome" he said. I went and sat in the spare seat.

"Stuck with me again, Goldilocks." I smiled

"Today we will be learning about, the forgotten rulers of Egypt" Mr Winkler said. "Anyone know the names of any?"

Nina put her hand up. "Senkhara" she said after giving Fabian a look.

"Good." Mr Winkler said with a smile, "Why did Senkhara stand out and why was she forgotten."

My hand went up. "Senkhara stood out because she carried pendants that were in the shape of the jackal head to represent the god Anubis. She carried them around because it ensured she would have a place in the afterlife. Senkarah also used the pendants to curse people" I noticed Fabian and Nina share a look again. "Senkarah was forgotten because throughout her life she was obsessed with the mask of Anubis. She believed that if she put on the mask she would become a god in the Afterlife."

"Very good" Mr Winkler said frowning slightly. "How did you know all that?"

"My older brother was doing a project on the forgotten rulers and I had to listen to him practising his speech." I lied frowning slightly. The rest of the lesson went by in a daze. How did I know all that stuff?

The bell went for the end of the lesson. As I was putting my books in my bag I dropped my pencil case and all my pens fell out. 'Not again!' I said kneeling down. Someone else knelt down and grabbed some pens. I looked up to see Jerome. After we had collected all the pens, he helped me up. I looked around the room it was just us two.

"Either you lied to me or you lied to Mr Winkler." He said handing me my pens.

"Mr Winkler." I replied

"Wait, so you don't have a brother?" I shook my head. "So how did you know all that stuff?" he asked.

"Jerome can I tell you a secret." He nodded. "I don't know…" He stiffened slightly.

"Come on" he said heading out the door, "We've got French next with Mrs. Andrews."

We arrived late. "Mr Clarke why are we late?"

"Désolé j'ai laissé tomber mon trousse et Jérôme m'a aidé à récupérer mes stylos" I replied stepping out from behind him.

"Mr Clark was helping you pick up your pens?" Mrs Andrews said incredulously. "Mr Clark you can sit down and you are?" she asked me

"Alex Smith" I replied.

"Asseyez vous" she said before turning back to the board and starting the lesson again.

How does she know? You'll have to wait and find out *evil grin* ;)

I hope you all liked it, please review. If you have anything you want put in feel free to tell me and I'll try my hardest to include it :)
