Chapter One

Amber Millington finally admitted it to herself, she honestly didn't want to but he was all that was ever on her mind. Jerome Clarke, Amber let out a dreamy sigh and continued to doodle hearts in her notebook and occasionally she would write 'Amber Clarke' and surround it by even more hearts. The bell that signalled the end of the lesson was the only thing that could snap Amber out of her daydreams, she happily skipped out the class and went to her locker. She had no idea how to confess her feeling's to him, he was still dating Mara and she couldn't ruin their relationship and she and Mara had only just become friends again! As Amber told herself this she couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. She sighed as she replaced her history book for her art sketchpad, she had never been in this situation before and she had no idea what to do.

"Jerome, you can't go with Alfie tonight, it's the big poetry meeting and you promised you'd come!" Mara whined as Jerome stopped at his locker -which was next to Amber's- to get his books.

Jerome rolled his eyes as he turned to look at his locker. "Mara, you only told me ten minutes ago, me and Alfie have had this planned for weeks..."

Mara crossed her arms. "But I'm your girlfriend so you should come and support me,"

"Actually, Mara there's something I've been wanting to tell you..." Jerome mumbled, Mara looked at the tall boy. "I'm breaking up with you..." She frowned and she stomped on Jerome's foot before storming away. Jerome winced in pain, still not noticing that Amber had been watching from behind her locker door. She silently slipped away to her art class before Jerome caught her.

After school that day, Jerome walked home on his own. Mara, Joy and Patricia passed him on the way and they all sent glares his way. Not that he cared. He thought that being Mara's boyfriend would be great but then he got to know the real her and it wasn't anything he had expected. She was far too possessive of him and Jerome finally felt free. He decided to take a shortcut through the woods. He stopped abruptly when he heard something in the bushes as he came to the clearing. He shuddered as he remembered the warehouse that was just up the road. So many bad memories, he thought as he turned to go back to the house. He liked the fact that Anubis House had woodland around it whereas all the other boarding houses were pact together and they weren't nearly as big as Anubis House but they probably did have better central heating.

As he entered the old house he walked straight to his room, not wanting to get caught in any drama about his and Mara's breakup. Alfie was there when he walked in, he was on the computer looking for something.

"Jerome, what do you think Amber would like the best, the Orchids or the Venus Flytraps?" Alfie questioned.

Jerome chuckled then said sarcastically; "The Venus flytrap, of course. What girl doesn't want a carnivorous plant,"

"Great!" Alfie smiled, clearly not hearing the sarcasm and clicking 'order' by the Venus flytraps.

Jerome rolled his eyes. "What do you see in her Alfie? She clearly doesn't like you back and if I'm honest she's extremely vain,"

"She is not!" Alfie exclaimed. "You'll see, she'll be mine, just you wait."

Little did they know, that Amber was just outside their door to tell them supper was ready when she heard Jerome's comment about her which crushed her heart. She turned around and sped up the stairs before letting the tears spill, she locked herself in her room and cried and cried and cried. She couldn't believe it, the person she was so in love with thought she was vain. She was stupid to have thought that one day he would love her but now her hope was lost and all she could do was cry...
