The Hunting (A House of Anubis Story)

Chapter 8

Eddie POV

It's been a week since the Minotaur incident and I was doing a lot better. Everyone got over the event a week ago and life was moving on perfectly. Nina, KT and I have minor hunts here and there but nothing too serious. All of the relationships in the house were going great, Fabian has been flirting more with Nina and Patricia and I are...well actually I don't know what we are. We've gotten to know each other a lot better and now and then she'll kiss me on the lips or cheek. She confuses me. Anyways, right now I was sitting in the classroom waiting for Nina and KT to get in here.

"Hey," Nina greeted as she sat beside me at the three seated table.

"Hi," I smiled as KT entered the room.

"Have you guys gotten any alerts? It's strangely quiet," she commented, sitting on the other side of me.

"Shouldn't we be happy that nothing's going on?" I spoke confused. Patricia came through the door as I gave her a wink. Her cheeks grew red as she smiled.

"What was that?" Nina whispered to me. I shrugged as the bell rang.

"Ok so we are gonna use this class period as study hall," the teacher said as he entered. Every student flipped through their stuff, looking for what they want to work on. Nina placed a folded piece of paper in front of me as I opened it. The first two lines were from early today when I asked if Nina or KT have seen any Supernaturals. I looked at the third line to see delicate, neat handwriting written in red ink.

I really think Amber's getting a little suspicious -Nina

I looked over to see KT reading over my shoulder, she leaned over and wrote in purple ink.

We can't tell anyone. It'll put them in so much more danger. -KT

Nina nodded in agreement as I glanced up at the teacher to make sure he wasn't watching. That's when we kinda got off topic.

If I tell you guys something you promise not to tell -Eddie

Promise -KT

Yea I promise too -Nina

You know how we promised not to go chasing anyone and not to tell? -Eddie

Yea -Nina & KT

I think I broke a rule. I think...I...like Patricia -Eddie

I watched my two best friends' faces as they grew wide with smiles. Both of their eyes were dancing with happiness as Nina scribbled down an answer.

I KNEW IT!!! -Nina

ASK HER OUT!! -KT

But the mis-

Nina then snatched the piece of paper from me and wrote down in all caps.

SHUSH!! NO!! Who cares about the mission, this is the first girl I've seen you fall for and I've known you since we were all 3-4 -Nina

I agree, I mean I take this job so seriously but your life comes first -KT

But what if Mr. Felix finds out and what if everyone in the house founds out? -Eddie

What's so bad about the house knowing that you like/are/will be dating Patricia? -KT

She's so slow...

I meant what if Mr. Felix finds out I like/am dating Patricia and the house finds out our mission? -Eddie

We'll deal with it as it comes -Nina
