Ok. People Read and review.
"Do you think Mara looks like an alien?" Alfie asked later that day. All the kids had returned to school and left Mick to unpack in Fabian and Eddie's room.
"No, green hair doesn't make anyone look like an alien," Jerome told Alfie.
The boys walked out of the school, while the girls entered.
"You know, green hair doesn't look that bad on you." Patricia said to Mara.
"Still, I wouldn't have chosen green." Amber said.
"Amber!" Nina cried.
"What?"
"Is Mick planning anything for tonight?" Joy asked.
"Yeah, he planned a nice dinner." Mara explained.
"I think I can make you look fabulous for the date." Amber suggested.
"Ok." Mara gave her friends a slight smile.

After school, Mara rushed off to find Mick. Patricia, Nina, Fabian, and Amber were off doing something, and Joy was writing an article for the school blog. Jerome and Alfie were watching alien movies when Eddie walked in.
"So, who's this Mick guy?" Eddie asked.
"Just someone." Jerome answered at the same time Alfie said, "Mara's boyfriend."
"So he and Mara are like together?" Eddie said.
"Yes, now please drop the subject!" Jerome exploded.
"Woah, mate. I know you got the hots for Mara, but chill out." Alfie said calmly.
"I do not have the hots for Mara!" Jerome raged. "Even if I did, I only told one person. Your nine year old brother, Flash."
Alfie had to try very hard to try not to laugh.
"Flash must have told you! I knew I shouldn't trust anyone related to you." Jerome rambled on.
Alfie couldn't take it anymore. He cracked up. A while back, Senkhara had turned Alfie into a little boy, and the Sibuna's decided not to tell anyone the truth. Instead. The said Alfie was out with his parents, and his brother Flash was visiting.
After Alfie changed back, no one wanted to explain what really happened (Not that anyone would believe it anyway) and just let it go.

Mara was flipping through her copy of Wuthering Heights when she felt someone sit next to her on the couch. She glanced up to see Jerome flipping through the channels on TV.
Mara was still mad at Jerome for the paint incident and had decided to ignore him completely.
"Having fun ignoring me?" Jerome asked.
Mara didn't glance up.
"Didn't Mick take you to meet his folks?" Jerome went on. "I would think you guys were going out long enough."
Mara shifted uncomfortably. What if Jerome was right? Couldn't Mick have taken her with him. She had met Mick's dad before, but not as Mick's girl.
"This conversation is very one sided, don't you think?" Jerome said.
Mara finally looked at him.
"Honestly Mara, he's no good for you. What do you guys talk about anyway? His training program and homework I'll bet. He probably doesn't know a thing about you what so ever. On the other hand, I know a lot about you, and I bet you have more fun with me anyway."
"Why do you care anyway? If Mick and I break up, how does that affect you?" Mara screamed for getting about ignoring him.
"You just don't get it Mara, do you? Think back to when Mick was dating Amber. Wasn't it painful to watch him date someone else, when you had a major crush on him?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" Mara interrupted.
"I'm going through that right now. The girl I've had a crush on, is going about with someone totally wrong for her. And the worst part is that I have to watch. Everyday, I see her laughing, cahtting and… kissing someone I hate."
Jerome's words sunk into her head. She looked down at her hands, but when she looked back up, he kissed her.
Then he ran.

Mara found herself comparing Jerome to Mick. "Stupid hormones," she muttered. She sighed, "Be totally honest with yourself, Mars." she told herself. She took out a piece of paper.
Mick- sweet, cute, funny.
She thought for five minutes, but couldn't think of anything else to write.
Jerome- Sweet (He really could be), cute (he was…), funny (he did make her laugh), he was nice to talk to, she trusted him, she really liked him
She sighed. She knew she liked Jerome. She couldn't deny it anymore. But was he more to her than Mick was?
She recalled the time he took her to meet his father in prison, the time he revealed his past. Sighing she went to find Jerome.

Jerome sat on a boulder inside a dark cave. He had found the cave when he was five and had just transferred to the school. He came here whenever he had to think or be alone. So, basically he came here almost every day.
"Fool." He muttered to himself. How could he have kissed her? He had done it before when Mara wanted to make Mick jealous, but that wasn't real.

Mara had looked everywhere. Jerome could not be found and Mick was back at the house any second. She groaned and plopped down on the couch as Amber walked in with Nina and Patricia.
"Hey grumpy," Patricia greeted Mara. Amber sat down next to Mara and opened her laptop. A minute later she was on OpenBook.
"Does anyone know where Jerome is?" Mara asked.
"He headed outside towards the river," Nina answered.
"Why do you care?" Patricia
"Are you cheating on Mick?" Amber asked barely glancing up.
"No!" Mara cried causing Nina and Amber to jump as Joy walked in.
"Explain girl." Nina simply said.
"And don't say you just want to see a friend because I can see in your eyes it's much more." Amber said whipping her hair. "I'm the dating guru? Remember? I know this stuff."
Mara sighed; they were her best friends after all… She sighed and began to explain.

"Oh, you're so lucky!" Amber squealed. "Two boys hopelessly in love with you!"
"Not helping Ambs." Joy shot Amber a pointed look.
"So what are you going to do?" Nina asked softly.
"I have an idea." Patricia announced interrupting Nina. "We are going to have a girl's night out. Just five of us!"
Mara smiled. "What about Victor?"
"Trudy won't mind, Vera shouldn't either. That's enough to convince Victor." Nina said.
"Yeah I'm sure Vera would understand. Even she probably had guy problems at our age." Amber announced.
"Actually, I think she's having some right now. Victor. Lol!" Joy laughed and the others joined in.

Trudy loved the idea, and Vera didn't seem to mind, so the girls sat down with rom coms.
"Yay Romantic Comedy Fest!" Joy squealed and Patricia laughed.
"You know, Vera isn't that bad outside her previous working with the Collecter." Nina said, setting down a bowl of popcorn.
As the movie began, Mick walked in. "Can I join?"
"Sorry Mick. GNO. Girls only." Mara lectured causing the other girls to laugh. Mick grinned and left the room.

Jerome came home late at night to find a bunch of girls spread out in the living room. Avoiding Mara's gaze he walked into the kitchen. He didn't fail to notice that all the girls had gone quiet, or the fact that they were staring at him. Only Mara looked down at the ground.
Jerome grabbed an apple and left the room. Out in the hallway, he sighed.
"She told, She told them all."
Ok, What do you think? I should update by Saturday.
Can you believe the series is over in two days? I'm devastated, there's no news for a season three. I'm guessing there won't be one. My heart is broken, LOL.
Remember to review. Criticism is welcome.
