No POV

The Anubis House residents sat around the dining room table eating breakfast and chattering away. Nina Martin and Fabian Rutter sat discussing what they would being doing during summer vacation. Amber Millington was watching her boyfriend Alfie Lewis do a magic trick. Eddie Sweet and Patricia Williamson were listening to Sick Puppies, their favorite band. Jerome Clarke sat by himself, drowning out the noise as he ate. Mick Campbell and Joy Mercer were talking as well. Victor was fixing the sink yet again while Trudy was mixing a bowl of pancake batter. The only person who wasn't in the middle of all the commotion was Mara Jeffray.

"Shut up!" someone giggled. Speak of the Devil. Jerome thought.

Mara strode into the room paying no attention to the other teens who now watched her with interest as she talked to the person on the phone. "No, Lewis, that's not what I said."

Jerome was about to ask who Lewis was but decided against it. He didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea. Thankfully Mick asked for him.

Mara didn't answer, just held up her pointer finger, telling them one moment.

"Alright." she smiled. "Hi Rikki!"

Mick looked like a tomato, he was so red. Red with anger.

Two guys in one phone call? He thought.

"How's Zane?" she asked. "Wait, what?"

She stopped a second. "Did he apologize?"

"Okay, well…" a wide smile formed on her face. "Maybe I can bring everyone?"

Victor walked in and she put the phone to her shoulder. "Victor, can we go to Australia for our summer holiday?"

"Trudy will have to go with you." he replied wiping his hands on a towel.

"Of course." she agreed.

"Then you may." he told her trudging out of the room.

"We'll be there Saturday." Mara told 'Rikki'. "Alright…love you too…bye."

"What's going on?" Mick asked.

"How do you feel about going to Australia?" she asked them.

Everyone agreed.

"Great! You can meet my cousin Cleo." she smiled sitting down next to Jerome.

"You will each have a Travel Buddy. Someone who will ride to the airport with you, ride the plain with you, ride from the airport with you, and also you will be with them if you decide to go somewhere without me." Trudy explained while they waited for their cabs. "Pick-"

"Trudy, we're not five." Jerome interrupted rolled his eyes.

"Still. Now Jerome since you spoke up first," she held up a paper bag. "Pick your Travel Buddy."

He sighed and reached his hand in. His stomach did summersaults, hoping he would get Mara or Alfie. His prayers were answered and he smirked, folding the paper and stuffing it in his pocket.

"Well? Who was it?" she asked him.

"Mara." he said smugly.

Mick fumed. He didn't want his girlfriend anywhere near him.

"Alright." Trudy sighed as Mara made her way cautiously to Jerome's side. She stopped in front of Patricia and held the bag out to her. "Patricia?"

She reached down slowly and silently hoped it was Joy, Nina or Eddie. "Eddie." she announced.

"Wow, such luck." her boyfriend smirked at her while she rolled her eyes.

Nina was the next to pick. Amber squealed as she announced it was her. Alfie then picked and got Fabian.

"That leaves Joy and Mick." Trudy told them and put the bag in the trash as the cabs drove up.

Eddie and Patricia got in the first one with Trudy in the front. In the second cab Amber gushed to Nina about the hot surfers. The third cab had a fuming Mick and nervous Joy while the next had Fabian and Alfie. The last had Jerome and Mara.

On the way there Mara tried to feel jealous that Joy was Mick's Travel Buddy, but she wasn't in the slightest. Her thoughts kept drifting back to the tall blonde next to her. His hair was brushed forward, making him look younger and his ocean blue eyes were transfixed on the book he held in his pale hands. She strained to see the title but failed. She didn't want him to know she was staring at him so she forgot the book and continued to stare at the trees shading the road they were driving on.

Jerome was fully engrossed in his book but he occasionally felt Mara's eyes on him. She felt her eyes on his hair, then on his face and then saw, out of the corner of his eye, she was staring at the book in his hands.

He knew she like his hair like this, brushed forward a bit. She had once said so and he subconsciously fixed it that way today.

The group of students walked through security, surprisingly without any pranks from Jerome or Alfie, and on to the plane. The plane ride was quiet and uneventful. And Mara still couldn't see the name of the book was reading, no matter how hard she tried.

When they landed they all hopped into their cabs. Mara was jumping with excitement in her seat the minute they pulled out of the airport parking lot. Jerome sighed and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Woah, girl." he coached.

She gave him a look and turned to the window. She began to point out things she saw last time she was here and she would have a story for each land mark. Jerome loved the way her face would light up when she told him about her cousin and the times they shared. If it was anyone else telling him these things he would tune them out and go back to his book, but Mara was different, he could listen to her talk for hours and never get bored.

The cabs stopped in front of a sidewalk that led to a row of houses and a dock. Mara jumped out and looked up the sidewalk to see a girl with long brown hair running towards her.

"Mara!"

"Cleo!" the two girls embraced and Jerome smiled.

"I'm so happy to see you!" the girls said together.

They laughed and Mara directed Cleo to her friends.

"This is Nina-who's American-Eddie-who's also American. Nina's dating Fabian and Eddie's dating Patricia. Amber and Alfie are dating also. This is Jerome-"

"The Jerome?" Cleo asked wide-eyed. "The one your always talking about?"

"N-" Mara started.

"Why, Jeffray, you always talk about me?" Jerome smirked.

"No." Mara said firmly. "Then this is Mick, my boyfriend, Joy and our house mother Trudy."

"Nice to meet all of you." Cleo smiled and turned to Mara. "Kim can't wait to see you and Dad wants to introduce you to Sam."

"Awesome! Come on guys!" she called as she and Cleo race down the walkway to Cleo's house.

"Uncle Don!" Mara smiled and hugged the chubby fisherman. A short girl with long blonde hair came up behind him and hugged Mara too. "So, where's this 'Sam' I've been hearing about?"

"She'll be home from work soon." Don replied.

"Let's go down to the Juice Net (Is that what it's called? I tried to find it online but didn't. If that's not it please let me know what it really is!)Café." Mara suggested.

"Can't, it closed a couple years ago." Cleo informed her.

"Okay, we're here." Mick gasped before Mara could question Cleo. He had been stuck carrying more bags than anyone else.

After Mara had introduced them once more the group went down to the shore and Mara caught sight of the once Juice Net Café. It was now called Rikki's.

"Cleo!" someone called. Everyone turned to see a blonde girl in a white sun dress with a tall blonde boy in shorts and a tank top.

"Hey, Bella." Cleo greeted and introduced her friends.

"Nice to meet you." Bella said nicely. "I'm Bella and this is my boyfriend Will."

Everyone mumbled hellos and some of the girls swooned quietly over Will.

"Have you seen Rikki?" Bella asked Cleo.

"No, I haven't. have you checked Rikki's?"

"We were just heading there." Will told her.

They continued to their destination.

Rikki's was a small restaurant with blue walls and a few plants here and there. Other teens sat at a few tables and music played in the background.

"There." Cleo pointed to the other side of the café. The others turned and saw a tall boy with dark brown hair leaning over a table talking to a girl with very light blonde hair.

As they got closer they could hear them talking.

"No, Zane." she said exasperatedly.

"Come on, please." he sighed.

She looked at him a moment and sighed. "I'll think about it. But, you probably won't get a very good answer."

He looked down and pushed himself off the table. He turned from it and almost ran into Will.

"Will." he said coldly.

"Zane." Will replied.

Bella gave him a look and Cleo walked up to the table. "Hey, Rikki."

"Your not going to get back together with him are you?" Bella asked.

"Were you listening in on our conversation?" Rikki asked incredulously.

"Sorry." Cleo smiled and jerked her head towards to the Anubis House teens.

"Mara!" Rikki smiled.

The two hugged and everyone looked at the four before exploding. "That's Rikki?" they exclaimed.

"What? You've never seen a girl with a guys name before?" Rikki snapped.

Everyone mumbled a few 'my bads' and 'excuse me's'. Rikki, Patricia and Eddie went off to get smoothies. Fabian and Alfie went to look at the boats while Nina and Amber went shopping. Mick and Mara talked to Cleo while Bella and Will discussed something in whispers. Jerome and Joy sat in a booth watching Mick and Mara laugh together and both of them surged with anger and jealousy.

"I can't believe I'm about to say this but," Joy murmured. "I think I may like Mick."

"What?" Jerome asked turning towards her.

"Wait, why am I telling you this?" she asked herself. "It's bad enough I'm crushing on one of my best friend's boyfriend but I'm also telling my secrets to you."

"You're not the only one crushing on someone that's taken."

"What do you mean?"

"I like Mara." he shrugged.

"No way!" Joy squealed and turned to him fully and gasped. "We could help each other," Jerome looked at her curiously. "Get them."

"Yeah, we could." he nodded. "But how?"

"Simple." she shrugged. "We fake date."
