This is my first House of Anubis fan fiction. I was inspired to write this while watching an episode of the show. I have always been a Jara shipper, since season 1. I think they're cute together. I wanted to a write a fanfiction about the ship for a long time, but I never knew how to begin it.
This one will be told from Alfie and Poppy's POV as they follow Jerome and Mara around talking in voice recorders, as they spy on the pair.

Chapter One
Week 1
Alfie
"Testing, testing, one, two, three, sounds good. Hi, this is Alfie Lewis," I say into my recorder. I am going to be following my best mate, Jerome Clarke around to see what he does during the day when I'm not with him. He's very secretive I hope to find some good dirt on him.
I can clearly see Jerome sitting by himself in the library. That's not unusual seeing as Jerome is actually a really good student, though he will never admit it. But something is different about this sight. I watch Jerome for a while.
"There is a girl sitting at a table nearby with her boyfriend, Subject 1 seems to be watching them like a hawk on its prey. Do I detect a hint of envy?" I whispered into my tape recorder.
The boyfriend brushes a hair out of the girl's face. She smiles. I look at Jerome.
"Subject 1 appears to be scowling at the happy couple," I said into the recorder.
Jerome returns to his reading, but only for a few seconds and his eyes are right back on the girl's head. He tosses his pencil on to the table and leans forward. He lays his head on his fists and stares at the girl entranced.
I'm going to join him. I'll leave my recorder on and hide it in my pocket. I walked to the table my buddy was sitting at. He snapped out of his trance and returned to his homework, but not before I saw what he was working on:
How to win a girl away from her meathead boyfriend
Step 1: Kill him
The first step was crossed off. There were many scribbles on the paper. I didn't get a really good look because he slammed the notebook shut.
"What's up buddy?" I said, sitting down beside him.
"Just studying," Jerome said.
"I bet you were. Studying Mara," I said.
"Calm down," Jerome said.
"You're blushing," I said.
"Am not," Jerome said.
He totally was.
Poppy
"Hello, this is Poppy Clarke, coming to you from outside the library, waiting for something to happen," I said.
Alfie Lewis is tailing my brother right now. They're inside the library. I'm on the outside waiting for Mara to come out. I'm following her around to see what she does during the day. I want to get inside her head, find out how she thinks.
Oh, here she comes, with her boyfriend; I think his name is Mick. My brother just calls him Meathead.
"Subject 2 is holding hands with her boyfriend. He takes an apple out of his book bag and takes a bite," I whisper. Chow down, big guy. The apple was gone in three big bites.
I watched as the boyfriend put his arm around Mara and yanked her close. He began to talk to her with his mouth full of apple about some sporting event coming up.
"He is yakking away and Subject 2 looks like she's trying not to get spit on," I said into my record.
Mick stops and pulls Mara a different direction than Anubis house. She's excited about the spontaneous change of events. I should probably follow them.
I sneak along the line of trees slowly so they don't see me; I hide behind some shrubs to watch them. Mick pins Mara against a tree to kiss her.
"Subject 2 looks uncomfortable," I said.
"Mick, the bark is hurting my back, could we do this somewhere else?" she asked.
"I thought I was being romantic, you're so hard to please," he said backing off.
I watched as Mara rubbed her back where he pinned her. His back to her now, and she had tears in her eyes. Mara reached out to Mick, but he slapped her hand away.
The boyfriend tried again. He pinned her between himself and a different tree to kiss her. I don't think he realized just how strong he is, because she looked like she was in pain. I should stop watching, but I can't.
Mara might need some help, not that I could do anything. I stare at her face. She looked happy despite being in pain.
"Subject 2 is really weird," I said.
Alfie
I had to watch to Jerome sulk all day. When we were walking back to Anubis House he saw them kissing in the woods. Jerome watched the girl push her boyfriend away. I think that made him a little happier. But now he's sulking.
"What's wrong, buddy?" I asked, lying on my bed.
Jerome is staring at the ceiling. He looks at me for a moment, but then continues to stare at the ceiling. He's so angsty today.
"What does Mara see in Mick?" Jerome asked.
"He's muscular, and he's nice," I said.
"She could do better," Jerome said stiffly.
"Who do you think she should be dating?" I asked.
"Just someone…else," Jerome said.
"You?" I asked.
"No. I just meant that she should be with someone who can keep up with her intellectually," Jerome said.
He's so transparent.
