Nina walked up the stairs, thinking to herself.

"Amber says he does. But is Amber always right?" Her thought trailed off as she saw Mick sneak out of her room.

"Mick?" She asked, "What were you doing in my room?" He grinned sheepishly and answered,

"Just leaving something for… Amber. Yah, Amber." He trotted back to his and Fabian's room, a proud grin on his face. Nina shook her head, smiling slightly. She stopped when she saw something on her bed.

It was a book. A blue, leather bound book. She peeled off the white sticky note, scanning over the rough scrawl that covered it.

Hope this helps with your mystery. ;) – Mick

She panicked momentarily. How did he know about the mystery? Did he know about Sibuna too? She took a deep breath and stopped. At least he was helping, and not telling on them. She picked up the book, flipping it to the back. There weren't any words on the covers. Or on the spine.

"No problem. It is an ancient Egyptian novel… right?" She whispered. She opened it to the first page.

Fabian Rutter

It was written in a neat, calligraphic hand, covering the first page.

"This is Fabian's? I guess he was reading on it too…" She said nervously. She felt like she was invading some sort of promise. Friends don't go through other friends' stuff… did they? She knew that her American friends often plowed through her stuff, looking for some sort of secret to tease her with, but did they do that in England too? She brushed the thought away, turning the page.

Do you believe in love at first sight?
Tell me does that book that you're reading
Tell the story of your life
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Should I walk on by,
Turn a blind eye, to love?
Love at first sight

The new girl moved in today. Honestly, she was not what I expected. I expected a loud-mouthed, gum chewing, arrogant American. Instead, she was beautiful, innocent, and one of the best people in this house. Yes, I said beautiful. I'm just glad I keep this in the back of my bookcase, because I would probably never live this down if anyone found out.

I now know that love at first sight exists. Because there probably isn't another explanation for the fact that my heart beats faster around her, I can't stop smiling, and the world seems to spin faster. Just like it says in those cheesy magazines that Amber reads.

Except there's nothing cheesy about this.

Nothing at all.

- Fabian Rutter

Nina's eyes widened.

Love at first sight?

She knew that she believed. After all, first her parents met with love at first sight.

And now she did.

Because she had felt all the symptoms that Fabian had described when she first saw him. She felt the blood run to her cheeks as she grinned from ear to ear. She took a deep breath, and turned the page.

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized
So mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be?
Where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you?
Are you holding back
Like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going
Away

Sometimes I wish I didn't love her.

But honestly, if I fell out of love with her, life would be pointless. Yes, I know it sounds like something out of a corny romance novel, but it's true. I was bored before she came. Nothing excited me. I was just the quiet, shy guy that was a friend to everyone. I didn't have a particular friend, like Jerome and Alfie. Sure, Joy was the one who I hung out with the most.

But, she annoyed me. She was clingy, jealous, and strange. In fact, one part of me was glad that she disappeared. One, she was finally gone. Two, if she hadn't left…

I wouldn't have met Nina.

Yes, sometimes I didn't love her.

But I have a perfectly legitimate reason this time. Today I summoned up the courage to ask her out.

And when I tried asking her, she said that her and I were 'ridiculous'. I laughed weakly, lying straight through my teeth.

And ran straight out of there.

Ugh, I'm an idiot. Idiot, idiot, idiot. I should've just told her. At least she'd know. But no, I chickened.

Going to go yell at myself.

-Fabian Rutter

Nina groaned, shaking her head. Was that what he was going to ask? Ugh, I should've shut my big mouth, she thought.

"Okay, one more page. Then I give it back to him," Nina whispered, a small smile on her face.

My mental stability reaches it's bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love?
Not as long as there are girls like you

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself

She kissed me today.

She kissed me!

Well, okay, it was on the cheek. But I think I felt heaven at that, brief, incredible moment.

I sound like a sixteen-year-old girl. I just hope nobody reads this but me.

I now know what heaven feels like.

Can't write much. In daze.

- Fabian Rutter

She read the first sentence with a huge smile; it felt like her face would crack. She heard someone knock on the door, and called for him or her to come in. She felt so dazed that she didn't think about who would come in.

"Nina! I think I found the next clue!" Fabian exclaimed excitedly, shutting the door behind him. He stopped abruptly, staring at the book in Nina's hand. He saw the big grin on her face, and instantly knew what she was reading.

"Nina?" He smiled lightly, covering his shaking nerves. She looked up, feeling the usual blush spreading across her cheeks. "What are you reading?" He asked, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. She ducked, hiding behind the book.

"I am SO sorry Fabian! I just found it on my bed and…" he smiled gently.

"Can I have it back?" He asked, his cheeks reddening. Nina nodded, handing him the book, biting her lip. "Thanks," he grinned gratefully, walking out of the room.

Fabian walked into his and Mick's room. Nina was reading his book.

Nina was reading his book.

How did she get it? He was going to kill Mick.

He sighed, opening the book to the latest page. His eyes widened as he saw curly, unfamiliar handwriting.

I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the words inside my head

Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah

If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I wanna blow you... away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want to see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say

It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If it ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care?

I love you too.

-Nina Martin

He couldn't stop the huge grin from coming.

She loves me.

She loves me.

SHE LOVES ME!

They could hear his excited screams from upstairs, and grinned triumphantly.

"Mick, that just might've been one of your smartest ideas yet," Jerome said, patting Mick on the back.

Whew! That just might've been one of my best yet!
