Evie's Notes: Hey y'all! I hope that you all enjoy this silly little take on our favorite students 💜.

"Isn't it the most gorgeous hunk of metal you've ever seen?" cooed Amber happily, gazing lovingly upon the bedazzled candlestick.

"It's the devil" grumped Fabian unhappily; pressing his bag of frozen peas harder against his eye, as he scraped silly string off the wall.

"I don't know" mused Jerome smuggly, "I am certainly a fan of how it lights up the room".

"You're only saying that because you weren't knocked off the balcony" grouched Patricia from her spot on the couch, sprained ankle elevated on top of a bunch of pillows.

"It's not my fault you didn't know what duck meant!" argued the resident con-man.

"Oh stop squabbling before I chuck that candlestick holder in the garbage." ordered Joy. "It's your fault that we are even in this mess anyways".

"Our fault?!" squawked the pair indignantly.

"How in the world is this my fault, Joyless?!" demanded Jerome.

"Oh I don't know, let's think about any of the moments from today" suggested Nina. "You two were literally behind everything"

"I wouldn't say everything," hegged the conman.

"Everything" declared Mara.

-----Earlier that day----

"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, the long awaited time is finally here" crowed Jerome happily racing into the dining room.

"What are you going on about now Clarke?" asked Mick.

"So glad that you asked Captain Australia... Today is the day we submit our Anual Superlatives''

"So? I hardly care who wins 'most likely to succed' at this point... I'm just trying to live till graduation" sighed Nina.

"Pish Posh, Nina. The GCSE's aren't that bad" laughed Mara.

"It's hardly the tests I'm worried about Mara" scoffed Nina.

"Moving swiftly onwards..." decreed Jerome. "As you all know I will once again be campaigning for the superlative of 'best instincts'"

"Wait, is this a real thing?" laughed Eddie. "Why haven't we done this before?"

"Trudy banned it after Alfie accidentally destroyed her flower beds while trying to gain the title of Most Likely to Be An Influencer" explained Joy. "Which is why I am shocked she's allowing this again".

"Trudy is no match for my charms" bragged Jerome.

The unimpressed looks his housemates shot him let the posh boy know they didn't believe that for a second.

"Well my charms and a very expensive 'Tea of The Month' subscription" granted Jerome.

"And if you all check your emails riiiiiight now you will find the form to submit your votes for each Anubis house resident" announced Alfie excitedly waving his I-pad. "May the best resident win".

--------------------

"Jerome, You're the one who dared Eddie into trying to stealing it from you, since you've apparently got better instincts than him" snapped Joy.

"Oh! Is that how all this started?" asked Mick, handing Amber half the sandwich he had just made. "I just saw a chance to beat Clarke with a pool noodle and took it".
