Everyone's looking at the clock, excited that the school will be over in a few minutes. We can all feel each other's tingling rush of school getting over as the clock ticks and after a few seconds, the bell finally rang.

"School's out!" Eddie shouted. Everyone also started shouting and tossing their papers around, not minding whether it was a test paper or their assignment. Everybody's happy that our batch will be finally graduating from this school.

"And before I forget, congratulations Ms. Mara Jaffray for being this year's Valedictorian." Mr. Sweet said. Everyone clapped and shouted again. But this time, for Mara.

"Congrats." I whispered to her and she said thanks. The students started to get their bags on their chairs while I grabbed Jerome out of the classroom so we could have lunch together.

When I opened my room's door, I was shocked to see a person inside. She looks unfamiliar and I asked her who she was. When she didn't hear me, I shouted Trudy's name, "Someone's inside our room!" I added.

The person turned around and she waves her hand at me, smiling, "Oh, I am Francheska Jones. Sophomore.

I slowly nod and quickly get my clothes to change inside the bathroom.

When I walk downstairs, I heard everyone's in the living room, talking about something.

"I hate new people." Patricia said when I entered the living room. I just shrugged and sat beside her to read a book that I brought.

I realized that we're not the only ones here, "Who are those two?" I asked Nina and pointed out to the blonde and Asian girl who's been standing in the kitchen area.

"That's Cassie and the other one's Erin." She said and the two of them walks in our direction. But something caught our attention in the living room.

Did Alfie, Jerome, and Eddie tumble on a bag?

All of us in the living room laughed as they stood up and proper themselves after falling.

"Trudy, there's a stranger in the kitchen." Alfie said and then Trudy enters the living room from the foyer.

"The underclassmen are moving here early." Trudy said, "Now, go enjoy your exposure trip." she added.

"Victor said we can also come!" Erin said gleefully. The higher batch of the Anubis residents look at each other and saw Francheska entering the living room.

I walk towards her to ask if she's coming and she said yes. I dragged her outside the house to come out first so we can have nice seats.

We're all quite amazed by the artifacts displayed inside the exhibit. Most of them are original items brought here in London while others are now a replica of it. I wonder if the amulets that I saw earlier were a replica. 

I was walking around with Francheska and saw the other new student, Cassie, fancying Jerome while he's with Alfie, talking about something.

I walk towards Cassie and sarcastically cough, "He's mine, okay?" I smiled after saying that. Not that I'm possessive about him or something... She nodded and got out of our way, saying sorry as if it's sarcastic. Francheska just looked at me and giggled.

"What?" I smiled.

"You're jealous aren't you?" She asked me, still giggling.

"Oh, well sort of." we laughed, "Jerome! Come here." I said and when he heard me, he started following me.
