The House Of Anubis

2. Where's Joy?

2. Where's Joy?

"Did you hear what I said?!" Patricia screamed at me. I didn't know what else to say.

"Look." I said, "I don't know anything about Joy. I'm Nina. And unless she's under the bed I don't know where she is!"

"You're lying!" She yelled. Victor came through the door. He made suspicious eyes at me then looked back at Patricia.

"What is going on here?" He yelled. Patricia was ready to tell him the whole story.

"At school today" Patricia began, "Joy was sent to the office. They told her someone was here to see her. After that Newbie over here takes her place and Joy has dissapeared."

Woah. I would've been worried too. But not like this! "Joy has left." Victor said not making eye contact with her.

"What do you mean she left?!" Patricia yelled, "She wouldn't leave with out saying goodbye."

"Her parents came to school the afternoon and removed her from the school." Victor added. I noticed he hasn't made eye contact with either of us.

"Whatever." Patricia said and went downstairs. Victor finally made eye contact with me and said: "Supper will be ready in ten minutes."

He walked slowly downstairs. I got ready for supper. I wonder what the other students will think of me. I went downstairs and once I walked inside the living room everyone was silent and looked at me.

I decided to introduce myself. "I'm Nina." I said, "I'm from America."

I saw the guy that I saw earlier with Patricia. A girl with blonde hair wearing pink. A tall guy woth blonde hair. A girl with short curly hair. And a african american guy.

"Hi." The guy that was with Patricia earlier said, "I'm Fabian." We exchanged smiles.

The African American guy stood up and said: "I'm Alfie. Or Bleh Blah Bloop as they say in your language." I laughed. So did everyone else except Patricia.

"I'm Jerome." The tall guy introduced himself. "I'm Mara." Said the girl with short black hair.

The Blonde hair girl was about to speak but she kept chewing her gum until she swallowed it. "I'm Amber."

Trudy came through and yelled out. "Supper is ready!" Everyone gathered around ther table.

I sat down in a chair. Amber came up to me. "That's my seat." She said rudely.

"Oh, I'm sorry do you-" I said while I got up. Before I could finish my sentence Amber Intturupted me.

"Where's Mick?" She asked me. I looked confused.

"Uh, I don't know who Mick is." I said politely and she walked out of the room. I decided to sit back down.

Alfie got two spoons and shoved spaghetti into his mouth. "Alfie!" Mara yelled. "You can choke on that!"

"Yeah Alfie don't play with your food." Jerome said sarcasticly as he flicked his fork and threw spaghetti at his face. Alfie got lettus from the bowl and threw it back at him and the next thing I knew they were having a food fight.

"You guys!" Fabian yelled. "Every meal?" Fabian took spagehtti off his shoulder. Patricia got her cup of water and threw it on me.

"Oops sorry." She said very sarcasticly. I got up spouting the water off.

"Classy." Fabian said to Patricia digusted by what she did.

"What!" She said sarcastic "It was an acciedent." Then she chuckled.

Patricia looked at me. "So, when are you going to tell us about Joy's dissapearance?" She said.

I looked at her with a dull face. She was actually blaming me for Joy leaving the boarding school. "I guess when I actually knew something."

Victor came in through the door. "Nina." He said, "Phone call for you." I walked up and went to pick up the phone that was next to the stairs.

"Hello?" I asked. Right away I kmew it was my Grandmother.

"How's you're new school? Any new friends?" She asked happily.

Tears wanted to drop out of my eyes and fall down but I forced it not to.

"Grand, We're in the middle of supper, which means dinner." I said trying to cut her off even though I didn't want to.

"Oh dear yes." She said, "You go ahead honey. Bye." And she hung up. That's when I let out a thousands of tears.

Fabian walked in and saw me. He looked at me confused. "I have... allergies." I lied. I knew he knew I lied, so I went upstairs.

The next morning I went downstairs and read a book in the sofa. Everybody else were doing thier own thing.

I looked up from my book and saw Fabian smiling at me. I smiled back. He seemed like a nice person. Then Patricia walked in yelling.

"Victor won't give me Joy's phone number!" She yelled and sat down. Mara looked at her.

"Of course he can't tell you" Mara replied. "teacher's or any staff at school aren't allowed to say any personal information to any students.

At night Victor stood at the enterance. "It's ten o'clock! You have five minutes presisley and then I'd want to hear a pen drop." And he droped his sewing pen.

Patricia was still washing her teeth. I went to the restroom and saw smoke on the mirror so I decided to clean it up with a towel. Patricia, Amber, and Mara came running and Patricia yelled.

"Hey! Why did you erase it?!" She looked at Mara and Amber. "Did you see what it said?!"

"No?" I replied with a confused answer. Patricia looked back at Mara and Amber.

"It said 'Help Me Joy!' and she erased it so it could make it look like i'm crazy! She knows something about Joy, i'm telling you." She yelled.

Victor came throghh the door and shooed us to bed. The next day I decided to get up early and get to school on time. When I walked to school I walked and saw an old lady.

She had a gown. "Oh geez you scared me!" I said pressing ny palm against my heart. "Sit down. Where are you from?" We sat down in a bench.

She pointed to the house and said "That's my house." I guessed she was lost.

"No, it's a boarding school house." I corrected her. "Where did you come from? Here you must be cold." I handed her my jacket to wear.

The old lady seemed very afraid. Then when she looked at me in the eyes she seemed like she saw the most precsious thing ever. "Is it really you Nina Martin?" I looked up at her.

"How did you know?" I asked her with a serious face.

Her face seemed like a lot of emotions. "It's me Sarah!" I tried to comprehend with her.

"Come one let's get you inside." I said standing up. I held my arms so she can stand.

"I can't go in there!" She seemed frightened. "He's watching... he's always watching."

Okay, i'm not going to lie... I was scared. "Okay, I'll get a cup of tea just stay here." And I walked inside to get her a tea.

"You musn't go in there!"
