Breakfast was always an adventure in Anubis House, even with the careful supervision of Trudy Rehmann.

"More eggs anyone?" asked the housemother, trying to have the students finish off what she had cooked up that morning.

"Yes, me please" agreed Fabian quickly.

"Did you hear about Victor? He fell down the stairs last night and broke his leg?" asked Patricia.

"Is that what that awful banging and roaring was last night" wondered Ana, remembering how she couldn't sleep with all the noise going on.

"Don't exaggerate, Patricia" chided Trudy.

"Egg zagerate, good one Trudes" joked Alfie.

"Terrible yolk, Alfie" sassed back Jerome, making the table laugh.

"It's a sprained ankle, that's all" corrected their housemother.

"A very painful sprained ankle" growled Victor as he entered the room, casting an imposing shadow over the dining room table.

"Victor, how do you do that?" asked Trudy, surprised by his sudden arrival. "And with a limp and cane too".

"Someone sabotaged that floor board on purpose" thundered Victor, glaring at each of the students in turn.

"Oh no" disagreed Trudy. "That floorboard's been like that for ages. I remember telling you about it last year"

"Yeah, that's right, I've tripped over it myself a few times" agreed Fabian.

"I haven't" disagreed Amber, a few of the others jumped in to add their two cents as well.

"Someone is up to something. And I intend to find out what it is. And who" threatened Victor before dramatically leaving the room.

Ana couldn't help but notice how guilty Nina and Fabian looked. Were they the ones who had messed with the floorboard? Oh well, it wasn't any of her business. Urging Amber to eat a little bit more of her toast, Ana finished her breakfast before heading over to the school with her best friends.

That afternoon between classes Alfie had once again donned his Sasquatch head and was harassing people in the hallway. Tugging Amber into the bathroom with her, Ana pulled out her vape and passed it back and forth with her best friend as they waited for the bell to ring. As the pair smoked they heard two very familiar voices enter the bathroom and stop right outside their stall.

"Amber was driving me crazy last night. It was Mick this and Mick that" complained Mara's voice. Ana's eyebrows shot up at the statement, having already guessed the girl's opinion on the blonds getting back together from her behavior last night, but didn't expect her to bitch about it in a public place where ANYBODY could hear.

"It's sweet that they're back together again though" replied Patricia, the sound of running water suggesting the girl was washing her hands.

Patricia's remark was met with only silence. Amber went to walk out of the stall, but Anastasia stopped her wanting to see where this would go.

"What does that mean?" asked Patricia.

"Nothing" replied Mara far too quickly.

"You like him don't you?"

"No! Eww!" lied Mara. Amber's face lit up, believing her roommate.

"I can tell, you're blushing," teased Patricia.
