Heyy! So this is my first fanfiction and I'm pretty nervous! I'm not sure whether to write more or not, so please help me out here! Here's the first chapter, please review and tell me if I should make any more! Thanks (:
Chapter 1: Crushed
Jerome's POV
I'm in love with her. Everything about her. Her smile, her laugh, her eyes, her hair. Her. She makes me feel... different, the kind of different I've never felt with any other girl. With her I feel like there's hope for me. Like I'm not a totally rotten waste of life. She brings out the best in me.
And I'll never get to tell her.
I know it's for the best. Even as I look at her now, looking like an angel with her head on Mick's shoulder, I know the truth. Mara's in love with Mick. She would never love me.
In my head I try to tell myself it's for the best. Mara deserves someone way better than a freak like me. Still, my heart can never shake the feeling: the feeling that I am totally, completely, hopelessly in love with Mara Jaffary, and we are meant to be together. My heart tells me it's destiny.
My head tells me I've gone mentally insane.
"Is something the matter, Jerome?" her voice wakes me out of my reverie. It's free time, and all of us Anubis House members are dispersed on various pieces of furniture throughout the room, chatting or attempting to study for tomorrow's biology exam. I catch myself staring at Mara, again, and quickly look away.
"N-no, nothing. I should be going," I quickly jump up and make a getaway towards the room I share with Alfie.
I can hear Mick whisper "Excuse me, Babes," to Mara as he gently gets up from the couch and hurries to catch up with me.
"Y'know, it kinda looked like you were staring at my girl back there."
I stop in my tracks and let out a fake amused laugh. "Me? What, do you think I have a crush on Mara or something? You have got to be joking!"
Mick relaxes a little. "Good. Remember, she's mine."
I hurry into the bedroom, close the door, and fall back onto my unmade bed. I know Mara is Mick's girlfriend. I have to let her go. But the only problem is, my heart just won't let me.
