I ate and made polite conversation with my new housemates for about twenty minutes, before the other new boy ran into the room. He had dark hair and dark eyes and was kind of skinny. They didn’t seem like the kind of person who could make it as a star in gym class, to put it simply.

“H-h-hi, I’m...I’m Fabian...Rutter. F-Fabian Rutter.” He said quietly, taking his seat next to Alfie.

“I’m Joy,” She said almost immediately, catching me by surprise. Joy had an interesting look on her face, but I didn’t have the time to figure out what it was before she nudged me to introduce myself.

“Patricia,” I greeted, glancing back at Joy.

Jerome and Alfie then introduced themselves and we began eating again. I caught Joy giving Fabian glances and it hit me.

“You like him,” I whispered accusingly.

“Well...” She looked at him and giggled. “He’s kind of cute.”

“Yeah,” I muttered, sitting back in my chair. “If you like geeks.” But I couldn’t help but smile at her crush on our new housemate, despite wondering how things would have to go from here.
