Line Break

"Morning guys," Joy sang as she skipped into the dining room, where everyone was all dressed for school and eating breakfast. Aside from Mick, who was out training. That was all he seemed to do, only popping his blonde covered head into the house for food.

"Morning Joy!" Was the only response she got, and that was from Mara. Nina turned to Mara, slightly angry. Mara offered Nina and apologetic glance, she knew that Joy had written that mean article, but she wasn't going to shun her out. Nina sighed, nodding at Mara. Deep down Nina knew that Joy would need a friend.

"Is everything alright, everyone?" Joy asked, wondering why no one else even looked up. No one said anything, so Mara spoke up, trying to avoid the awkwardness

"So you seem happy Joy? Any particular reason?" asked Mara, smiling, taking a sip of her orange juice.

"Yes there is actually," she smiled, taking a seat beside Mara "I am now Mick Campbell's official girlfriend." She stated proudly. Mara chocked on her juice, placing it down suddenly.

"What?" she exclaimed wide eyed. Jerome's eyes flicked up to the tanned girl opposite him. He had been dreaming, well not dreaming as such, scheming. Of what he and Alfie would do next. But what was this, Mara Jaffray sounded shocked? That was a new one. He was suddenly interested, what was this then? He thought, Mara seemed…angry? Was that the word? He watched her, intrigued. But whatever emotion Mara had been feeling, she covered it quickly, flashing Joy a cleverly disguised false smile. "That's so great, Joy! W-when did it happen?"

"Last night," Joy grinned, taking a bowl and pouring herself some cereal. "He came into our room and asked me, yay!" she nudged Mara playfully. Mara smiled, nodding at her.

"I'm gonna head off guys," Mara explained to everyone, standing up and swinging her bag onto her shoulder that she had kept hanging on her chair. And it should have been obvious that she felt weird, but Mara left for school early every morning, and no one noticed anything.

"I'll walk with you," Alfie offered, standing. Everyone looked at the two of them in shock, and Alfie lifted his hand in explanation, there was a mild burn there "I was hoping, if you'd heal it Mara?" he asked hopefully.

Mara rolled her eyes "You don't need to ask Alfie, I'm always willing to help you," and the two of them walked out. "But burns do take longer to heal," she said as her voice faded away.

"So," Jerome filled the silence "Has anyone wondered why Fabian can't take his eyes of Nina this breakfast?" Everyone naturally turned to Fabian who was blushing at being caught. He'd had a crush on Nina for a while now

"Jerome!" Fabian scolded "I was not,"

"Sure," laughed Jerome, swinging on his satchel "I'm off," and he suddenly disappeared, camouflaging into the background. Amber groaned

"Jerome! Why can't you just walk to school being seen? It gives me a headache seeing you appear and disappear!" She had her cheeks tinged a gentle rose colour, and the rest of her face seemingly flawless. It was a routine that only took half an hour now, at first it took up to two hours to get to her perfection, but she was now good at it, and applied everything with a practised grace.

"News flash Amber, the world doesn't revolve around you!" Came Jerome's voice, which was now in the hallway, as he walked out, shutting the door loudly behind him. He smirked to himself. He really loved his power, loved the fact that he could disappear at any moment, at any time. It fitted him, because sometimes you needed to blend right into the background, to steal the spotlight.

Line Break

"Poppy dear." Came a voice. Poppy stiffened, she had just opened her locker. She turned, to see no one there. But she knew that her brother was standing right in front of her, she couldn't ever misplace that voice. She straightened her two plaits, and sighed.

"What?" she hissed, turning back to her locker, so the other people scurrying down the hall wouldn't think she was crazy.

"I need you to do a little bit of that mind reading thing you do so well, on a friend of mine."

"A friend?" Poppy scoffed in disbelief. The only friend she knew Jerome had, was Alfie Lewis. The strange boy who once ran into her chemistry class and turned into a half brick half bird thing. And Jerome could normally just drag anything out of the dark boy.

"You're right," Jerome laughed "Not a friend…a house mate,"

"You should know better, Jerome." Poppy tutted "You have no friends." Jerome became visible for a fraction of a second, almost like a faulty hologram. Poppy smirked "Aw, can little Jerome not control his camouflage when he's angry?"

Jerome flickered again, and she could see his glittering blue eyes for a moment, glaring down at her, but Poppy just laughed. Jerome snarled slightly, he hated that she was right, hated that he couldn't control his emotions that well yet. But he was close. "I could just hypnotise you, you know." Jerome hissed, invisible once more.

Poppy nodded, but the smile was still on her face "There isn't much you can do in a minute, Jerome. You may have the eyes for hypnotism, but you just haven't the time," she closed her locker, turning to her now completely visible brother, who was seething. Jerome rolled his eyes. He may only be able to hypnotise someone for one minute, but that was more than enough time if you planned ahead.

"You know just how to aggravate me," he hissed, running a frustrated hand through his hair, straightening his light grey cardigan. Moving his tie further up to hide the fact he hadn't done up his top button. The teachers were oddly strict about the top button. For some strange reason. Something about not looking scruffy.

"I know," Poppy smiled, as the two of them walked together down the hall "So what am I doing?"

"Mara Jaffray." Jerome whispered into her ear

"Subject?"

"Mick Campbell."

"And why am I doing this?"

"Because you owe me for not telling Mr Sweet that you read his mind to get the password for the school network and have been searching through old school records for about…two months now,"

Poppy's smiled faltered, no matter how good she got, Jerome would always top her. She glared up him. It was like a game of trumps. She might get the ace, but it would never be the correct suit, and Jerome would just pull it out of his sleeve. Literally, and she could never accuse him, because the other card was suddenly missing from the pack. But deep down she knew that he was her motivation. "How did you know about that?"

Now it was time for Jerome to smirk "I was there Poppy, there standing right behind Mr Sweet when you did it,"

Poppy fumed slightly "Fine," she sighed "Where will I find her?"

"The Library," and with that Jerome turned and walked away, Poppy was about to call to see what this 'Mara' looked like, because it was rare that Jerome wanted her to go and see someone in his house. He normally wanted her to stay away unless it was a revenge mission. But he didn't sound like he was angry.

"Strange," she hummed to herself, heading for the library. It wasn't as if maths was an important subject anyway.

And there you have it, my first chapter! Please let me know what you think, I mean it's your opinion that counts guys!
