Unsteady; House of Anubis *B2*

[26] House of Payback

"What?" Alfie demanded and Camilla had never wanted to be in a situation less, but Amber's iron tight grip on her arm was preventing the small protector from fleeing.

"no." Amber repeated with a smile, "See you in class." With that Camilla was dragged off to the student lounge giving Alfie a sympathetic look.

Weird couple things were happening all around, Camilla and Amber where sat in class waiting for Mrs Andrews to show up, Amber talking about some fashion school she had applied to for over the summer holidays and showing Camilla its website on her phone. Both girls looking up as Joy and Nina bumped into each other at the door, the awkwardness and tension could be felt by everyone in the room- though most people tried to pretend it wasn't happening. As Anubis House members, however, the two girls didn't even try to hide the fact, they were listening in. Joy saw their faces, she looked to Camilla and the girl knew she was thinking over Camilla's threat about her stepping in if Joy got in the way of Fabian's Happiness. With that, she turned to Nina with a brave smile.

"Hey," Joy started, "you and I haven't really spoken since... you know, Fabian and I had that connection."

Amber and Camilla both pulled faces at turned to look at each other at Joy's words 'connection' okay...

"had a connection..." Nina repeated clearly thinking along the lines of her two best girl friends two tables behind her, "by that you mean kissing my ex-boyfriend?"

"I feel bad about it-"

"Listen if this is you apologising-"

"I wasn't going to apologise." Joy said causing Nina's face to darken, "but I was going to say, I totally don't steal boyfriends. That's just not me." Camilla looked up and saw Fabian entering the room with Alfie, causing her to elbow Amber and jerk her head towards the door both of them seeing is confused face as he took in the scene, "so if you two are Fabiana-ing it again, then I won't let Fabian try to Jabian us anymore."

"Well," Nina seemed shocked at Joy's words and Camilla though she didn't agree with all of what Joy said couldn't help but feel a little proud of her friend for at least offering to back off a little. "Fabian and I are so not 'Fabiana' anymore. So, don't worry about it, Fabian's a free agent." With that Nina turned and took the seat next to Patricia, leaving Joy to sit next to Fabian who had no other choice than to take his seat unsure of how to react about what he had just overheard.

"How come your brother, is the one to find himself with love issues when you are clearly the better-looking Rutter?" Amber whispered to Camilla who couldn't help but smile at the girl's words.

"I think I have too much on my plate to add a relationship Ambs, if I was to get a boyfriend, he'd have to deal with the craziness of Sibuna and the fact he was dating a girl with powers," Camilla explained. Amber's eyes widened as she seemed to realise something but before she could tell Camilla Mrs Andrews walked in and started class.

Camilla looked over at her brother during their free period, he had tied a load of pen's together and it looked like he was trying to make a model something but what was unclear to Camilla. Amber was sat cross-legged on the couch next to Nina, whilst Camilla sat on the floor letting her play with her hair whilst the girl read over the potion essay on 'Nightshade; its uses in potion-making' that Victor had given her to write. Supposedly Mr Sweet had claimed if Camilla was doing extra classes within school hours, she had to do something that provided a grading or something. So now she had essays to write for magic classes.
