I don't own House of Anubis. Nor will I ever. Remember, people; rated T. That's all I'm going to say, and remind you of.

"JEROME CLARKE, I AM GOING TO MURDER YOU!"

Jerome ran past Trudy quickly, a bag tucked under his arm. Patricia's bag, to be exact. The angry redheaded girl chased after him, her fists clenched and her jaw tight.

"You'll have to catch me first!" Jerome sing-songed. Patricia was fast, sure, but when compared to the taller, more nimble boy, she didn't stand a chance.

"I WILL MURDER YOU!" Patricia yelled again, already feeling tired from the chase. Jerome stuck out his tongue at her teasingly, already satisfied from the challenge the redheaded girl was bringing. Patricia watched after him with a huff and a crossing of her arms in defiance. Jerome just looked back and gave her that smirk- the smirk she hated so, so much.

Patricia not only was mad at him but his ability to maker her cave to him. All he ever did was flash that teasing smirk and she knew she couldn't resist. Never did it cross her mind to like Jerome Clarke. Never would it cross her mind, either. She did have to admit, though, he was irresistible. With his charming smile, ice blue eyes, and easygoing ways, it would be a miracle for him to fall for the goth redhead. Yet it didn't hurt to dream.

"Trixie, giving up?" Jerome mocked, making Patricia snap out of her thoughts. "Who would've thought it?"

"What?" Patricia said, a smile already curling her lips. "Do you really think I'd let you off the hook so easy, Clarke?" She began to run again, and Jerome let her catch up before adding an extra burst of speed. This time, though, she made the best possible thing for any football loving girl to do; she threw herself at his legs, tackling him down to the floor.

"Ouch!" Jerome cried, but his eyes had a twinkle of amusement as he went down. "Be merciful, oh Redheaded one! Be merciful!"

"You are such an idiot," Patricia replied bluntly, sitting up and brushing her grass-covered jeans. Jerome sat up as well, tossing her bag at her and giving her yet another smirk.

"That was fun," Jerome remarked, staring right into Patricia's eyes. "Maybe next time you won't leave your bag in my way..."

"I was holding my bag," Patricia snapped.

"Well then, hold on tighter, next time." Jerome said. He stood up and offered Patricia a hand. Patricia, against her better judgment, let him help her up. She gave an involuntary shiver as his touch electrified her insides.

"Trudy will want us soon," Patricia blurted. "Dinner is going to begin."

"Since when did you listen to orders, Williamson?" Jerome asked playfully. "And here I thought I'd rubbed off on you."

"As if I'd become a loser like you, Clarke," Patricia mimicked him. Jerome just smiled again, showing the straightness, the whiteness, of his teeth. His lips looked so soft and perfect, making Patricia shiver again.

"Are you cold or something, Trixie?" Jerome took off his blazer, placing it around Patricia's shoulders. Patricia felt a rush of heat go to her cheeks. She was caught off guard as his eyes met hers. The blue of them made her want to never look away. Damn his charming ways. He gave her an amused smirk. Patricia imagined just crashing against him and kissing him senseless. She could imagine his hands roaming her body. Her hands tangling in his hair. Their bodies joining as one-

"Patricia?" Jerome asked, making her jump.

"What?" Patricia asked hotly, blushing slightly. Jerome noticed the girl's faint blush and looked behind him, trying to find the source of her infatuation. When seeing no one, he shrugged and figured they had left.

"You realize we're the last ones out here, right?" Jerome said. "And weren't you the one telling me we needed to go?"

"Oh, shut up," Patricia mumbled, and she walked away briskly. Jerome chuckled and ran alongside her, the only thing bothering him being that Patricia kept mumbling about 'His stupid, stupid charming ways'. He could only imagine who she was talking about.

Yes, first one done. Not to worry, all your Jerome ships will have their glory soon. Again, ALL pairings with Jerome will be used. Read at your own risk. Next chapter will maybe feature Victor. We'll see. Review and tell me what couples you'd like to see!
