PLEASE READ THIS~

I can't believe I'm saying this but I will be taking a not so little break from writing. I'm starting to have a hard time writing, I can picture every scene perfectly in my head but when it comes to writing it down with words, I draw a blank. Nothing comes out! I'm so sorry. I can't force myself to write.

All my stories will be put to a hold for the meantime. If I get some inspiration every now and then I'll probably write a short one-shot of a couple but for now, every on-going I have is on hiatus.

I know you all are going to hate me for this but I just wanted to let you all know that I am very, very sorry~

"Mara!" Mara heard someone call her name, she turned her head to see Poppy briskly walking towards her. She closed her locker and smiled at Poppy when she was in front of her.

"Hi Poppy" Mara greeted

"Hey" Poppy smiled "How are you? I didn't see you yesterday"

"I'm fine" Mara answered "I was a little bit busy with things"

"Oh, so how was your first day yesterday?"

"It was fine"

"That's good…" Poppy trailed off not really sure what new topic they could talk about but Poppy didn't have time for games, she wanted to get to the point. The real reason why she came to talk to Mara. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course, Poppy" Mara replied "What is it?"

Poppy sighed, she didn't really knew how to start. "You and gerbil-"

"Stop" Mara cut her off "Poppy, I don't see what you have anything to do with me and Jerome"

"Even though I don't show it that much, I care about Jerome, Mara" Poppy looked at Mara with her shinning blue-greenish eyes. Mara knew that Poppy cared for Jerome and vice-versa and the look on Poppy's face showed that she just wanted Jerome to be happy. "You changed him, you made him happy and a caring person-"

"Poppy, as sweet as your little speech is, I still fail to see what you have anything to do with me and Jerome"

"I want him to be happy and you make him happy" she answered sincerely "I know he made you happy, Mara, you can't deny it"

"I'll admit it, we were happy but that still didn't have the fact that he cheated on me"

"I talked to him about that" Poppy said "I punched him on the arm when I found out but then he told me the real story"

"The real story?" Mara arched an eyebrow "So, I didn't see him snogging a cheerleader in the woods?"

Poppy sighed, Jerome was right, Mara was still bitter.

"She kissed him" Poppy stated "We could go ask her yourself if you want!"

Mara sighed, Jerome already said that the cheerleader was the one who kissed him but she never got around to ask her if it was true, "Okay" Mara answered "We'll go after school"

A smile crept onto Poppy's lips as Mara finished her sentence "Great, meet you later then"

"Yeah…" Mara nodded.

LINEBREAK

"Well, what have we got here? Look what the cat dragged in." Sandara David, the brown haired, hazel eyed cheerleader that Mara found making out with Jerome Clarke in the clearing in the woods. She folded her arms in front of her chest as she looked at Poppy and Mara "its little miss school rep and Poppy Clarke, little sister of Jerome Clarke. What brings you here?"

"I..I..I" Mara stuttered, looking down, not wanting to meet her eyes.

"Wait, don't tell me you two want to try out for the squad?" Sandara asked, trying to contain her laughter "I'm sorry but ever position is filled"

"We don't want to be part of your squad of boyfriend stilling floozies" Poppy answered, looking up at the taller girl.

"Hmm… Last time I checked Amber Millington is on the cheer squad." Sandara stated unfolding her arms "Do you feel the same way about her, Mara" she turned to Mara, who was still avoiding her gaze "Because if that's the case, you're a bit of a hypocrite, aren't you? Because if I remember correctly didn't you steel her boyfriend, Mick Campbell?"

Mara looked up instantly at the mention of Mick's name, anger started to build inside of her. "Wow Sandara, I'm surprised that someone like you would even know the meaning of hypocrite" she back talked, totally out of character for her. Poppy was surprised to hear Mara say that but she was happy that she wasn't a push over anymore "and all this time I thought hypocrite wasn't even in your vocabulary"

Sandara's face suddenly became red with anger and embarrassment. She inhaled and looked at Mara again "Why are you even here?"

"We want to know why you kissed Jerome" Poppy answered before Mara could even open her mouth.

Sandara looked at Poppy for a moment before remembering the even that took place a few months ago.

Sandara followed Jerome Clarke into the clearing in the woods in curiosity of what he was doing. She stumbled on a rock and fell to the ground with a light thump. Jerome turned and saw the pretty girl on the ground; he didn't have any second thoughts when he helped her up. He reached out his hand and she took it, he pulled her up and soon they were face to face, chest to chest.

"What are you doing here?" Jerome asked, still impossibly close to the girl.

"How about you?" She countered, not answering his question "What are you doing here?"

"I was looking for my girlfriend Mara" he answered, pulling away slightly but they were still so close to each other "She likes to read in the clearing"

"That's a weird liking" Sandara stated.

"Yeah" Jerome smiled "but that's one of the reason's I like her"

"You like her a lot?" Sandara asked. Jerome nodded and took a step back so they were not so close to each other but Sandara matched his step back with a step forward. "Okay, so what would you do if someone would have done something like this," Sandara kissed Jerome on the lips.

Jerome was shock to find the cheerleader kissing him. He didn't respond because he knew this was wrong and he has a girlfriend, Mara. He pulled away from the kiss and looked at the girl in disbelief.

"What the hell was that for?" he asked

"Just testing" She answered simply. "I just wanted to know how you would react to me kissing you."

"Well you got your reaction!" Jerome shouted "Now, leave and never tell anyone about this!"

"No." She stated firmly.

"No?" Jerome asked in disbelief "What?"

"No" She repeated. She took a step forward and grabbed Jerome by his collar and kissed him again.

"Because he's hot" Sandara answered Poppy

"You kissed him because he's hot?" Mara asked "Wow, you're more of a strumpet than I thought"

A laughed escaped Poppy when Mara said the last part of her sentence.

"Strumpet? What the hell is that?" Sandara asked confused.

"Oh, looks like your vocabulary already ran out for today" Mara said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Poppy was impressed, this was out of character of Mara and Poppy found that although he liked the dorky Mara, she had to admit that this Mara was fun to watch.

"I think it's time we go Poppy" Mara suggested and Poppy nodded in agreement.

When Mara and Poppy turned to leave Sandara suddenly grabbed Mara by the hair and pulled on it.

"Don't you dare walk out on me!" She yelled
