Hi, I'm Rosie! I'm quite new to FanFiction...long time reader, first time writer. I wanted to give it a shot, though.
Warning: I've never truly written anything fictional before. More just...day dreamed. So my writing may not be perfect. But I'd like your feedback so I can improve :)
I've tried to pick up some techniques from good authors here like LittleMissPotterHead, nabian8735, charn14, rducky, Ice-Princess-93, MissFeltonFanatic, tammy-loves-jerome, S.I.B.U.N.A.1398, Bubbles of Angst, and so on. Those girls are some of my favorite writers...you should check out there stories if you haven't already :)
This will be a one-shot based on a submission I made to Charn's Jara Head Canon blog :)

Sitting in her last class, Mara quietly copied the notes on the board. Once finished, she impatiently watched the clock above Mr. Winkler's desk, hoping against hope time would speed up and the clock would finally strike three, letting her free of school's clutches.
Usually, she didn't mind school. She did very well and had friends, so it was never a bother.
Today, on the other hand, was a whole different story.
This afternoon, she had a date with Mick. It was quite romantic...they were going to have a picnic in the field under a large oak tree.
Mara had been looking forward to it for three days time.
Thirteen minutes before the bell was due to ring, a loud clap of thunder sounded from outside. Mara, along with the rest of the class, glanced back and moaned.
"Oh no!" Mara sighed heavily to herself. This was't supposed to happen! Not today!
She sat there for the rest of class, mentally willing Mother Nature to cease the rain for the time being. No such luck came to her.
Finally, at three o'clock, the last bell rang.
"Have a nice weekend, everyone. I'll see you all on Monday," Mr. Winkler dismissed the students.
Mara sighed as she left the classroom and headed to her locker. When she opened it, to her dismay, she saw she'd left her jacket at home and would be walking home with nothing to cover her.
She walked to the doors leading outside and peered out. Everyone scurried out of the building, coats and textbooks used to cover their heads. Mara felt her heart fall a bit when she saw Nina and Fabian run across under the same jacket while Mick ran behind them under his own. Mara was left there, staring helplessly out the door. After about a minute, she decided to get a move on.
About half way home was when it really started to pour.
"Mara!" she heard someone call faintly behind her. "MARA!"
Turning around, she saw Jerome bounding forward.
"What are you doing?" He questioned, a heavy breath coming out once he haulted.
"Walking home," she raised her voice a bit for Jerome to hear her over the now crackling thunder.
"In the pouring rain?"
"Pretty much."
"Come on, Mar," Jerome rolled his eyes after about a minute. He draped his jacket over her head and put his arms over his.
"You ready?" He asked loudly.
"Um...yeah?"
"GO!" he said and began to run. Mara ran with up, but couldn't keep up with his long strides. He back tracked a bit and took her by the hand, gentley pulling her along. When their skin touched, a tickled feeling went through both bodies, leaving them flushed.
To Jerome, this was a small act of kindness...anything he'd do for his dirty little not so secrect love...
To Mara, this was a little thing to make her stumble farther down the path some call love.
Well...that's my oneshot!
Hope you enjoyed it :) Tell me in reviews how to improve :)
