The room arrangements for this year were quite different. Amber, Patricia, and KT were in Nina and Amber's old room and Joy, Mara, and Willow were in their old room. For the guys it pretty much stayed the same.

Alfie stood pacing back and worth in his and Jerome's room, worrying about Willow and Amber.

"Alfie?" Jerome called.
But it made Alfie pace more to the point of biting his finger nails. "Alfie!!" Jerome yelled which finally got his attention.
"Dude what's up with you?"

"A lot man! I'm freaken out!" Alfie kept pacing.

"This has to do with Amber doesn't it?" Jerome asked.

"Yes." Alfie settled down in his bed. "She doesn't know about Willow. How am I supposed to tell her? I don't wanna break her heart."

"I know you know this already but tell her the truth. If she tries hitting on you or flitting just tell her your with Willow." Jerome said.

"But I don't wanna break her heart." Alfie groaned.

"It's gonna hurt her worse if you  let someone else tell her, or if she sees you with Willow." Jerome explained.

Alfie sighed. "I hate it when your right. Thanks man."

"No charge." Jerome laughed.

"Awesome." Alfie stood up straight and happy.

"No actually, give me 10 pounds." Jerome smirked and Alfie groaned. "How about 20." Jerome insisted.

"Are two tens okay?" Alfie quickly got out his wallet before Jerome raised his offer once more.

At dinner everyone was talking for the most part. Amber and KT telling everyone how they met in New York, then how the new couples were formed–except Willow and Alfie's.

Amber laughed, "Okay so Jeroy! Wow didn't see what one coming!" She then looked to Eddie and Patricia. "And Peddie, knew that was meant to be, and Mabian..." She shook her head. "Normally I wouldn't agree because of um, uh, yeah, but two geeks...it makes since." Is all she said. Fabian knew she was angry with him but shoved it to the side since she agreed.
"So, any other couples?" Amber squealed.

Everyone glanced at one another until Willow spoke up.

"Well actually me and Al-" she began.

"Albert!" Alfie interrupted. "Willow and Albert are related." He said awkwardly. "Right Willow?"

"Uh, yeah, right." She agreed and decided to keep quiet.

"Nice save, Albert." Jerome whispered to Alfie.

All the fun was disturbed by Mr. Fremont walking in. The students suddenly became quiet.

"My name is Mr. James Fremont," he said with a genuine but sturdy voice. "I will be your care taker for the next 4 years. Possibly more if you do not succeed in your studies. You will do your chores and lessons during school hours unless you have more than others. Please be respectful of other students studying. You will be in your rooms by 10 o'clock and lights out at least bye 11p.m. Also, not under any circumstances are you to have a party in this house with beer, drugs, or sigorets. Now if you have any questions or such please come to my office. Proceed with you dinner." He said politely and walked away.

Everyone talked among themselves.
"Well he is no Victor." Eddie chuckled.

"I wonder how he is."
KT trailed off.

"Or where he is..." Fabian said.

After super, Amber went to Alfie's room to tell him about the "Anubis" reuion in her, Patricia, and KT's room after lights out. They wanted to have it there and not the attic because they don't know how Mr. Fremont would take that.
