Nina POV:
I rushed downstairs and sat downstairs at the dining table. I was the only one there as I had arrived a little early. I had gotten there early to meet Jerome. I quickly ate breakfast, awaiting his arrival.
Suddenly he showed up. He looked great as usual, even though he was wearing his uniform.
Fabian and I had broken up a while ago. Even after a week, we realized we weren't good as a couple.
There was some mild flirting, but no sparks. Everyone was shocked when we broke up, but they soon got over it.
I was relieved that I would no longer feel guilty with Jerome; he kissed me after I had my first fight with Fabian when comforting me. Ever since then we had been secretly dating. But, I didn't break up with Fabian then, so technically I had cheated on him.
"Hello love" he said.
I blushed deeply as he sat beside me. He kissed me passionately as fireworks went off in my head. He had breakfast quickly as we headed off. He put his arm around me when we noticed that no one was there as we were walking to school.
He playfully pushed me down, and soon I found us rolling around in the grass until he pinned me down and kissed me again.
We arrived at class after everyone else, there was only one desk left in the corner so I put on a fake expression of disappointment that I had to sit next to Jerome. We had made it not too obvious by him walking in a minute after me.
Secretly, I was happy, he casually put his arm around my waist so no one would notice.
Alfie POV:
I watched Jerome come in and sit next to Nina, the only available seat. He pretended to look upset, but I could tell he wasn't being his best friend and all. I observed them closely. He put his arm around her waist.
Could they be secretly dating?
I shook the thought from my head.
It was too weird, even for Jerome.
He even mentioned that she was too much of a goody-goody.
Maybe he was trying to make someone jealous.
There isn't anyone in our house he is interested in though, so if they were trying to keep it a secret, only someone who was around often would notice.
He isn't into anyone I know, he doesn't like Mara anymore, since she broke his heart. According to him, she's a geek.
Patricia is too goth for his liking. Besides, they can't stand each other.
Amber is with me, he'd never tread in that region. She's also a glamor girl. The two of them would never work.
But, what would he be doing with Nina?
I must be seeing things. It seems like a more likely explanation.
But what if I'm not?
Should I tell anyone?
Would Fabian be concerned? I don't know if he still likes her, he doesn't act like it, and he seems happy with Joy.
Plus, they said they broke up on mutual terms.
I'm pretty confused. Maybe I'll sort this out after lunch.
