The Hunting (A House of Anubis Story)

Chapter 12

*TWO WEEKS LATER*

Patricia POV

I was strolling to my locker as the bell rang for everyone to go to class. Thank goodness I have a free period! I opened my locker as a note fluttered to the ground. Picking it up with confusion, I flipped it over to read it.

Go to the student lounge. Now.

Who's this from? Deciding to listen, I walked to the student lounge. There was a sign that said sit so I sat on one of the orange couches. A projector turned on as the lights dimmed a bit. A video began playing with a song in the background. She's Killing Me by A Rocket to the Moon began to play as videos and pictures of me ran. There was videos of me teasing Eddie or fighting with him. One of the videos was of me smiling and laughing at something Eddie said. At the part that said "so I went out and bought her roses, she complained about the thorns, I caught her smiling and that's what I do it for" there was a video of Eddie saying something that I fought back on but during our argument I began smiling which made him smile too. I couldn't help but smile at that video; no matter how mad he makes me, he always has a way of making me laugh. Honestly, that song described me perfectly and my relationship with Eddie. The song ended but there was one more video to play.

"You're so stubborn!" Eddie exclaimed at me.

"Thank you!" I shouted back.

"You're insane and you talk too much," he spoke as I gasped.

"Slimeball!"

"Yacker!"

"Weasel!" Even though we were yelling at each other, after we called one another our nicknames, we both had on wide smiles.

The video ended as Eddie strolled out casually from behind the curtain.

"Was that cheesy and cliche enough for you?" he asked with a chuckle.

"Very," I replied. He bit his lip in a nervous way. "But I loved it. I mean if you tell anyone I said that I'll deny it but I did. Why'd you do that though?"

"Because..." he trailed off. He took in a deep breath before tucking my hair behind my ear. "Please go out with me, be my girlfriend." I bit back a smile as I pretended to think about it.

"I don't know I've had a lot of offers." He nudged me with his hand as I revealed my smile. "Of course." His face broke up into a bright smile.

"Good, now I can do this anytime I want." He put both of his hands on the sides of my face before kissing me softly.

"If you cheat on me or flirt I'll kill you," I warned him when we pulled away. He laughed at my seriousness before kissing my nose.

"Never."

Nina POV

I opened my locker to see a piece of paper on one of my books.

When I saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew -William Shakespeare Sincerely, Anonymous

I smiled at the cuteness of the note, flipping it over to see if there was a name. Seeing no name, I put the note in my bag before heading back to class.

X

Opening my locker again, another note sat on my books.

You have no idea how hard it is to force myself to stop thinking about you sometimes. Sincerely, Anonymous

I smiled, putting the note in my bag.

X

I eagerly opened my locker hoping for another note. My wish was granted as I grabbed the folded piece of paper.

Meet me under the big oak tree. Sincerely, Anonymous

Immediately, I sprinted down the hall and outside. Approaching the oak tree, a figure stood up.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Don't I look like an anonymous?" Fabian questioned playfully.

"You're the one putting the notes in my locker?"

"Yea," he answered, "And I have one more surprise." He grabbed my hand and dragged me to the blanket under the shade of the tree. "Ready?" I nodded as he grabbed his guitar. "It's called You I See." He began playing the guitar and singing the sweet words. I couldn't help but smile at the beautiful melody. His voice and guitar playing was absolutely perfect. As he finished the song, he put his guitar to the side and grabbed my hand.

"Will you go out with me?" he inquired. My eyes widened as he nervously stared at me. I tackled him in a hug as he fell onto his back with me on top of him.

"Yes!" I yelled excitedly.

"Really?"

"Yes!" I rolled off of him as we both sat up. He placed a simple and sweet kiss on my lips as I grinned widely.

"You have no idea how long I've wanted to do that," he laughed.

"I have to go," I muttered suddenly.

"Why?" he questioned with confusion.

"I have to tell KT and Amber and thank Eddie," I spoke softly.

"I'll go put up my guitar and meet you in the lounge," he told me as I nodded. I ran back to the school and through the halls.

"Amber!" I shouted once reaching her. She looked up at me with a "what?" expression. "Go to the lounge I need to tell you something." She nodded before heading off.

Eddie POV

"Eddie, where's Nina?" Fabian asked me as he strolled into the lounge.

"I don't know," I answered, putting an arm around Patricia. Amber came skipping through the door as she approached us.

"Nina sent me here. I think she went to get KT," Amber spoke happily. We nodded as Nina came running in with KT behind her. Nina jumped on me, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Thank you! Thank you!" she exclaimed happily.

"Hey, what are best friends for?" I joked.

"What'd you want to tell us?" KT inquired.

"Guess who I'm dating." Amber looked between Fabian and Nina before jumping up and down happily.

"Fabina!" she shrieked. KT smiled as she glanced at me.

"Peddie?" she raised her eyebrows as I nodded and rolled my eyes.

"Ugh now I'm the only single one," she complained as we all laughed.
