If 'Plan A' Doesn't Work. The Alphabet Has 25 More Letters! Stay Cool.
Plan A-offer to carry her books and walk her home.
"Hey Mara!" Jerome shouted as he ran to catch up to her.
"Hey Jerome" Mara smiled at him as he slowed his pace to walk with her.
"May I walk you home?" Jerome asked as he opened the school doors for her.
"You may" Mara laughed walking through the doors.
Jerome relaxed a little and took a deep breath before asking the next question.
"May I carry your books?" Jerome asked with a big smile.
Mara laughed and stared at him like he was crazy.
"Can you carry my books?" Mara repeated as she laughed.
"Yea they look really heavy" Jerome said and Mara smiled.
"Ok You can hold my books" Mara said as she gave the books to Jerome.
Jerome almost fell over and dropped them when she gave them to him.
"Wow these are heavy, you're stronger than you look, Mara" Jerome said as he struggled to keep up with Mara.
"Do you need some help back there" Mara laughed as she looked behind to see Jerome trying and failing to keep up with her.
"NO, no no no" Jerome said running over to Mara's side "I got it."
Mara walked slower for Jerome who was getting the hang of carrying higher textbooks.
"So how are you?" Jerome asked.
"Good, can't complain" Mara answered " What about you?"
"Well I can complain, but I won't" Jerome joked and Mara laughed.
"It must be hard being Jerome the trouble making prankster" Mara joked but Jerome didn't laugh. Was that how she saw him just a prankster that liked to cause trouble for everyone?
"That's only half of who I am" Jerome said trying to make her see the other half.
"Who's the other half?" Mara asked.
"A very deep, romantic person who loves carrying textbooks and is too afraid to ask the girls of his dreams out on a date" Jerome said hoping she would catch on.
"Well if you love carrying textbooks so much you're more than welcome to carry mine everyday after school."
For someone who is so smart Mara could be so clueless when it came to seeing who really cares about her.
Why couldn't she see that the girl Jerome was so scared to ask out was her?
"I'll take those" Mara said as she took the books off of Jerome with ease.
Jerome had been so wrapped up in his thoughts that he didn't notice they had arrived at Anubis house.
Jerome was going to pluck up the courage and ask her out but he just stood there tongue-tied and paralyzed.
"Stupid" Jerome face palmed himself as he watched Mara walk up the stairs to her room.
Jerome walked to his own room, grabbed a small black leather notebook and where it said 'Plan A' he crossed it off and underneath wrote
'Plan B'
"I still have 25 more Letters...Stay cool" Jerome said to himself as he wrote down his plan for tomorrow.
