Hi everyone. My name's Emily and I'm new to the Fanfiction network, but I'm definitely not new to the HOA fandom! :)

Thanks to my friend, Lauren, (April243) I now know how to post stories.

Anyway, I hope you like this one! It's basically my take on Season 3, but with a LOT MORE Peddie, because who doesn't absolutely adore them? But yeah, enjoy my story!

Chapter 1: Jealousy

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock.

"Damn thing, always waking me up." I muttered.

"Well, thats kind of what it's for," my roommate-and best friend-Joy Mercer said.

"Yeah, Yeah..." I said as I got my uniform from my dresser and walked sleepily down the hallway, towards the bathroom. It was the worst day of the week: Monday. Once I was dressed I brushed my teeth and hair, did my make-up and started to walk down the stairs for breakfast. I was a little excited about my new black diamond studded boots that I had gotten over the weekend. They were really stiff though and as I went to turn on the L-shaped stair case, my ankle twisted the wrong way in my stiff boot and I fell the rest of the way down the stairs, unable to regain my balance.

"Wohhh!" I said as I fell down the stupid staircase only to fall into somebody's arms. I could tell right away it was a boy who had caught me because I could feel the biceps underneath the gray uniform sweater. I looked up to see who it was. I would't want to be caught by any of the boys in Anubis House, but just my luck, not only was it a boy, it was my ex-boyfriend Eddie Miller!

"Better watch your balance there Yacker," he said with a smirk. The familiar anger flared through me. The anger that only happened when Eddie insulted me.

"Get off me slime ball!" I shot back.

"Well, technically your on me so I don't know how I'm supposed to-"

"Just don't catch me next time," I commanded.

"Theres gonna be a next time?" He asked in a mocking tone.

"Whatever." I said, rolling my eyes as I walked away from him. I noticed with a pang of hurt that he didn't follow me. Instead he waited at the staircase until his new 'besty' KT walked down the stairs. Jealousy pierced my heart as KT smiled at him and said, "Good morning!"

I tried to ignore the feeling because I am the on who dumped Eddie.

"Hey," Eddie greeted her, smiling back. She is such a suck-up! I thought as I rolled my eyes...again. By this time Joy was down at the kitchen table starting to eat breakfast with Jerome and Mara, Amber and Alfie, and Fabian. I walked over to the table and took a seat next to Amber.

"Good Morning Patricia!" She greeted me happily.

"Morning," I said to her.

"Somebody wake up on the wrong side of the bed, Trixie?" Jerome asked teasingly. I stuck my tongue out at him. He calls me Trixie because I have dark brown hair, but I die it red. I also like the color black, rock music, and leather. Also, my real name is Patricia Williamson, but as you can see I've developed a fair amount of nicknames throughout my high school years. I had just finished dumping some cereal into my bowl when KT sat down beside me, Eddie on her left. I had reached out, put my hand on the milk pitcher and was lifting it up when I realized KT had reached for it at the same time. Both our hands were clamped on it.

"Back off," I said to her.

"Oh, did you want this?" she asked innocently. "Sorry." She then quickly pulled her hand away and her elbow slammed into my cereal bowl, causing it to spill on me. I swear she did it on purpose. I was so mad. My mouth hung open for a moment as I looked at the cheerios on my lap.

"Ooo..." Alfie mouthed, sensing the tension.

"I'm sorry." KT apologized, seemingly sincere, but I knew better.

"Yeah right," I said. I started to clean the cereal off my lap and as I did I whispered, "klutz," So only KT could hear. She sighed. As you can see, I don't like her very much.

RIIIIINNNNNGGGGG! went the school bell to signify the end of the school day. I was glad it was over, but I hadn't paid attention at all because all I could think about was how close KT and Eddie had gotten lately. I mean we had reformed Sibuna and I saw him at the meetings and stuff, but it wasn't the same really. Then I thought, Why should I care? I was the one who dumped Eddie. He was probably way over me now.

Speaking of Slimeball... I thought as I saw Eddie walking over to me.

"Sibuna meeting tonight," he said.

"I know," I said. We had sort of developed a schedule for the Sibuna meetings. Every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday night. The other two nights we usually went exploring the tunnels or looking around in the woods near the crypt. If we weren't doing that we were stealing something from somebody's office, most likely Victor's. But Eddie insisted on reminding everyone. Which I didn't mind much because that was really the only time he talked to me directly.

"Okay, I'll see you there then," he said before he walked away. That was different. He never said, "See you there then." It's probably nothing, I thought to myself.

"There," I said as I finished my history essay. I hadn't put one hundred percent effort into it, but at least I would get it in on time. I planned to print it later. Probably after the Sibuna meeting. I walked down the hallway towards Amber and KT's room; I would walk down with them. When I walked in it was just Amber. No KT. I guessed she was already down at Eddie's room. I wondered why Amber hadn't gone with her.

"Amber c'mon." I said. Amber looked up from the fashion magazine she had been reading.

"C'mon where?" she asked, confused. I rolled my eyes.

"To the Sibuna meeting, of course!" I answered.

"There's a Sibuna meeting tonight?" she asked, putting her magazine down.

"YES, don't you remember Eddie telling y-"

"Hey, did you guys know there's a Sibuna meeting tonight?" KT asked as she walked in from the hallway to stand in the doorway.

"No," said Amber. "Eddie didn't tell me."

"He didn't tell me either," KT said. I felt a small twinge of satisfaction mixed with confusion. Why had Eddie told me and not KT or Amber?

"What about you?" Amber asked me.

"Hm?" I said.

"Did you know about the meeting?" Amber repeated.

"Yes." I nodded, and replied "Maybe he just forgot to tell you guys."

"Maybe," Amber said.

"Well its still weird." KT stated. "He always tells me about the meetings." Suddenly Eddie himself appeared behind KT, just outside the room.

"Guys lets go we need to start the meeting," he said.

"Well we would have been there sooner if you had told us," Amber complained.

All traces of leadership left Eddie's voice when he replied, "Oh ya..." His hand went to sort of scratch the back of his head, something guys do when they are embarrassed. "Sorry about that."

"Whatever, lets just get the meeting started," KT said.

"Okay," Amber agreed. The four of us walked down stairs to Eddie and Fabian's room. When we reached the bottom of the stairs Eddie turned to me and said sarcastically, "Hey good job Trix, you didn't fall this time!"

I glared at him then said, "And the award for most childish teenager goes toooooo...Eddie Miller!"

He smirked. "Ha, ha, very amusing Yacker." I just made a face at him then walked ahead. Amber caught up to me and asked, "Is it just me, or is Eddie flirting with you?"

I turned to look at her and answered, "Its just you." But a little piece of my mind couldn't help but wonder, Was he flirting with me?
