Chapter 4
"Jerome! Alfie!" I yelled running down the stairs trying to catch said boys who had just dashed into the living room. I groaned and went to run in but a voice stopped me.
"Anna?" It was Mara. I looked up, to see Mara on top of the steps looking down at me in confusion. "What's going on?"
I rolled her eyes. "Oh Jerome took my-Ahhhh!"
I felt two strong arms pick me up, at first I didn't know who it was until I heard him laugh. Jerome, I should have known. He threw me over his shoulder while I kicked and screamed but all he did was laugh more and walk into the living room, leaving Mara even more confused.
"Jerome Clarke! You put me down this instant!" I shouted hitting his back. This however just made him laugh harder.
"I don't think so." He replied, I could just see the big grin on his face. I groaned just about to give up when an idea hit me. Smirking, I covered my hands over my face and began to fake cry. Confused Jerome but me down looking at me in concern. "What's wrong?"
Ha! He fell for it!
I was quiet for a minute and sniffled, my face still hidden in my hands.
"It's just-" I began making my voice sound sad. Then I took my hands away from my face and placed them on my hips. Jerome's eyes widened as my sad frown turned into a smug grin. "I totally got you!"
Jerome looked more confused at first, then a wave of realization hit him and he smirked. "Well, well it looks like you outsmarted me Miss. Anna."
"Please, anyone could outsmart you." We turned to see Fabian walking in with a light blue with almond blossoms (a painting by Victor Van Gogh one of my favorite painters) with the words Anna's Songbook written in white ink in his hand. I laughed and Jerome just rolled his eyes. Fabian smirked and walked up to me giving my songbook. "Here, I caught Alfie trying to hide this in their room...and um why did he have it?"
Jerome groaned. "Alfie!"
We ignored him. "Thanks Fab, Jerome took it while Nina and I were rearranging our room. Then he gave it to Alfie and they ran down here."
"Jerome!" Fabian looked at him, arms crossed. Jerome rolled his eyes.
"What, we just wanted to see what lovely songs-"
"But they weren't yours to read!" Anna yelled looking at him. "They're personal."
"Oh? If they're so personal why does Fabian get to look at it?" He questioned looking between them both.
We rolled their eyes. "That's different, he's my brother and he's helped write some of them."
Jerome opened his mouth to speak but stopped seeing Alfie walk in with a sheepish smile on his face.
"Hey Jerome...what's up?" Alfie said.
Jerome rolled his eyes. "Oh shut up Alfie."
I shook my head and turned to my brother. "Hey Fabian, can you help us move the dresser? We tried to do it ourselves but..."
"Yeah sure." He smiled and we turned to leave.
"Don't worry Alfie." We heard Jerome say. "We'll get it sooner or later."
"Don't even think about it." The two of us replied simultaneously.
"That is so weird…yet kinda cool." Alfie said. We smirked and headed up stairs again.
"Yay! Finished!" I exclaimed looking around the room. We finally finished rearranging the room. After placing the extra bed, nightstand and dresser in Patricia's room into mine we moved everything around and it looked great. My bed was now near the window and Nina's was on the other side with the nightstands next to our beds, and on the other side of the wall was the dresser and our desk. They both had just finished decorating the room with their things, lucky for them they liked a lot of the same music so posters weren't a problem and she also put up some of her own. Nina had just finished unpacking her things so the room was finally done.
"Right!" Amber agreed. "It seemed like it was taking forever."
"Tell me about it." Nina agreed. It took most of the morning and some of the afternoon, just get it all done. Now it was about 1:30, we had just eaten lunch an hour and a half ago and I was happy to be able to relax and enjoy the rest of the day. I looked around the room one more time just to make sure everything looked alright and it did!
I smiled satisfied. "Alright, we're done! Let's go down stairs. I am so thirsty."
They nodded and Nina grabbed a magazine from on top of her bed. We left the room and went down the stairs to the living room where we found Mara sitting on of the couches reading, Mick finishing up lunch (he left for another run again and missed it) and Fabian was cleaning off the table.
"Nina, Amber do you want something?" I asked walking to the kitchen.
"Um...water would be nice." Nina replied sitting down on one of the chairs. "Thanks."
Same, please." Amber said sitting on the couch next to Mara.
"Okay." I replied grabbing cups from the cupboard.
"So, what do you think of the new girl?" I heard Mick ask as I grabbed the pitcher of water from the fridge placing on the counter that joined the dining room with the kitchen. I smirked knowing why he asked this and began pouring out glasses for Amber, Nina and I.
"I think the new girl...looks nice." Fabian replied quietly glancing at Nina. I giggled as Mick let out a loud laugh.
"Oh, really?" he teased.
Fabian blushed but tried to cover it. "No I meant she seems nice."
I rolled my eyes. "Sure you do."
The boys looked over at her with raised eyebrows.
"Are you eavesdropping?" Mick asked smirking.
I gave them an innocent smile. "Nooo...why would think that?"
The boys laughed shaking their heads. Fabian then went into the kitchen to put away the place mats.
"Somebody has a crush." I sang as I walked by him to put the pitcher of water back in the fridge.
"Shut up." He said playfully shoving me. I giggled again and after putting the water back, followed Fabian out of the kitchen and gave Nina and Amber their water. Fabian left the room, so I decided to sit on the other couch and relax. A few minutes later Mick finished his food and moved to sit in between Amber and Mara. I raised my eyebrows noticing that when he placed his arm around Amber; Mara stared at them with a sad look on her face. I felt bad for Mara, I mean seeing the guy you have a crush on with another girl sucks big time especially if the girl was your friend. I was also worried about Amber. She is totally oblivious to the fact Mara likes Mick and I know if and when she finds out she'll be devastated and heart broken. Should I say something? Is it even my place? I don't even really know if Mara likes Mick anyway and I don't want to start trouble. I hear someone walk in. I turn to see Fabian walking to the table, a pack of cards in his hand.
I grin. "Hey Fabian." He turned to her. "Speed?"
He laughed rolling his eyes. "Sure, come on."
I immediately jumped up and joined Fabian at the table. He dealt the cards and we began our game.
"Hey Fabian, can I ask you something?" I say as I place a two down.
He nods. "Of course."
"Okay you know how Mick and Amber are dating?" I whisper. He nods. "Well-"
"Wait, you don't like Mick do you?" Fabian asks eyes wide.
"What?! No! Besides you know I like Jerome." I tell him.
"Oh right." He says. "Continue."
I roll my eyes. "Anyways, I think Mara likes Mick but-"
"Mara likes Mick?" Fabian whispers loudly.
"Shh! Will you let me finish!" I exclaim quietly.
"Right sorry." He says smiling sheepishly.
"I think Mara likes Mick but the thing is I don't know if I should say anything to Amber. Do you think I'd be a horrible friend if I didn't?" I finish nervously.
"Well, no." Fabian says. "I think this is a problem they're going to have to work out themselves."
"I suppose so." I reply. I look down at my card and grin "Oh and one more thing."
"What?"
I place the card down. "Speed!"
"Aw man." He groans. "Rematch?"
"Your on!" I agree.
After playing a couple rounds (Me beating him three times in a row). we stopped and Fabian decided to build of house of cards.
"You just wanted to stop because I was beating you." I teased.
"Hey, I beat you too." He replied smiling as he placed a card on the top of the almost built house.
"Yeah, once" I laughed. Fabian rolled his eyes continuing his house. I smiled and took a sip of my water. It was quiet for a while (not counting the giggling come from Amber) until I noticed Fabian glance at Nina, who coincidently, glanced at him the same moment. They both smiled at each other then went back to what they were doing (Fabian putting the finishing touches on the house and Nina reading her magazine). I turned to Fabian with a knowing smile on my face. He noticed this and looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"What?"
"You so like her." I told him. His eyes widened a bit and he looked away.
"I do not." I smiled seeing his face turning pink.
"Oh really? Then why are you blushing?" This made his cheeks become redder. I giggled.
"I'm not-" He began but stopped with the 'Don't even think about it' look I was giving him. He sighed. "Look...I hardly even know her."
"Yeah but-"
"I can't believe that creep won't give me Joy's home number." I turned to see Patricia sitting on the chair next to Nina, talking to Mara, Mick and Amber. "Least she's getting her stuff back the day after tomorrow."
"Well that's good; you'll be able to ring her then." Mara reassures her.
Patricia nodded then turned to Nina glaring at her. "I know you've got something to do with this newbie, and I'm going to find out what it is."
Nina looked at her. "So you said ten times."
"What did you say to me?" Patricia semi-yelled. I rolled my eyes in annoyance, she's really got to stop this.
"Nothing." Nina replied giving Fabian and I a quick smile. We smiled back but looked away before Patricia could say anything.
"Whatever." Patricia grumbled turning bacl to Mara, Amber and Mick.
"So, anyways..." I said smirking and turning to Fabian
"Oh drop it!" Fabian laughed, playfully shoving me. I laughed shoving him back. He so has a crush on Nina.
