Okay, so this is the last chapter and then the epilogue! I know, it's pretty short and went by quickly!

So, once I get 10 reviews, I'll write the epilogue.

I'll be starting a new story soon!

Disclaimer- I don't own HoA.

Nina's POV

I woke up on Thursday morning and looked around my room. Amber wasn't in her bed or straightening her hair in front of the mirror... Weird. I looked at my clock and it read 10:00 A.M. I was late! I quickly threw my school uniform on and ran down the stairs. I was about to leave the house when I heard voices from the dining room. I stopped in my tracks and headed towards the voices.

The whole house was sitting around the dining room table talking and eating slowly. And they were all in their pajamas!

"Guys! We're late! Let's go!" I urgently encouraged.

"Nope. School was canceled today. Some gas leak or something." Mara said. I formed and o shape with my mouth and sat down at the table.

"So, what are you guys doing today?" I asked as I looked around the table.

"Alfie and I are going to town today!" Amber squealed.

"Mara and I are having a picnic." Mick said smiling.

"Fabian and I are going to meet Joy today." Patricia said matter-of-factly. I forgot that her, Fabian and Joy used to be close.

"Me and you are going on a date." Jerome stated with a smile. I returned the smile and grabbed a muffin.

"WAIT! When did this happen?" Amber asked. She pointed at Jerome and I when she said 'this'.

"Yesterday." Jerome said. Without a second to spare, Amber was pulling me upstairs by my arm. She dragged me into our room and sat down on her bed.

"Tell. Me. Everything."

"Do I have to?" I whined and she nodded her head. "Fine. When we were walking home, he called my name. I ignored him but he kept calling for me. So I spun around and said something snarky to him. Then he said that I was different and some other nice stuff and I snapped at him again. Then he said he was telling the truth and I told him he better not mess it up and we kissed. There. Happy?"

"Eh. I would be happier if it was with Fabian. I thought you said you didn't like him?" Amber asked.

"You knew I was lying." I said with a laugh. She nodded and laughed with me. As Amber was about to say something, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Amber hollered. Alfie opened the door and walked to where Amber was sitting.

"Sorry to interrupt, but Trudy says we should leave now. Oh, and Nina? Jerome wants you." Alfie said. I nodded and Amber left with Alfie.

I stood up and went to my closet. There was no way in hell that I was wearing my school uniform around.

I picked out a pink tank top with roses stitched onto the neckline. Next I went to my bureau and picked out a pair of dark wash skinny jeans with frays along the legs. I wore a pair of white flats and added a leather braided bracelet. My hair was wavy with a pink headband in it. The headband had roses on it to match my shirt.

Satisfied, I walked down stairs and saw Jerome standing in the grand hallway.

He was wearing a white v-neck shirt with a blackish-gray vest over top. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a pair of black vans. His face lit up when he saw me.

"Hey, ready to go?" He asked and grabbed my hand.

"Sure. Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." He said with a smirk and led me out the door.

"Nothing big! Huge gestures freak me out." I said and looked around outside. There was a cab waiting out in front of the house. We climbed into the cab and drove to town. The ride was about 15 minutes long.

"Okay. Close your eyes." Jerome said. I obeyed and he grabbed my hand and led me out of the cab.

"Can I open my eyes now?" I asked between giggles.

"No! Careful, we're almost there." Jerome said. One of his hands was intertwined with mine, while the other was resting on the small of my back leading me to the mystery place. I heard a door open and I walked into the mystery place.
"Okay. Open your eyes." Jerome said. I opened my eyes and looked around. There were little red tables around with people chatting. There was a playground to one side and then there was a place to order. I laughed and turned to Jerome.

"McDonalds?" I giggled.

"You said no big gestures!" He said between laughs. I took his hand and we went to the line to order.

It wasn't the most romantic place ever, but when I realized where we were, I knew something.

This guy makes me feel special. He makes me laugh. He makes me blush. He drives me insane. And I just might fall in love with him.

There! Epilogue up once I get 10 reviews! Thanks guys(:
