"Hey, yacker?!" Eddie said as he ran up to Patricia.
"Stop calling me that, Sweetie Junior" Patricia snapped "What is it Eddison?"
"I just wanted to know why you're always hanging out with them?" Eddie asked pointing to the Sibuna members.
"They're my friends" Patricia answered.
"Is there like...another mystery" Eddie narrowed his eyes "Because I'm the Osirian, I think I should have been in on this!"
"Eddie if there was another mystery I'd let you know" Patricia said as she walked to class, Eddie looked at the others whispering before following Patricia.
"Jerome, are you ok?" Mara asked looking at Jerome who was leaning against the lockers and staring out the window blankly.
"Yeah, of course" Jerome smiled.
"You seem distant" Mara said in a worried tone "Did I do or say something to upset you?"
"What? no" Jerome said looking down at her "Nothing you do could upset me" Jerome smiled as he leaned down and kissed her softly. (Yes Jerome and Mara are together in this)
"Can I ask you something?" Mara asked as they pulled apart.
"Of course you can ask away" Jerome smiled.
"It's just, you seem to be hanging around with Nina and the others a lot more now and spending less time with me" Mara said looking him in the eye "I...I don't want to separate you from your friends..."
"And that's all they are...friends, I'd much rather be hanging out with the most beautiful girl in the world" Jerome said picking her up by the waist and kissing her forehead.
"It just seems like a lot of stuff is happening that I'm not being told" Mara said as Jerome put her down.
"I love you, and If there was something that you needed to know I would tell you, as long as it kept you safe" Jerome smiled placing his forehead next to Mara's. Mara smiled and kissed him once more before walking to class with him, hand in hand.
The rest of the day went by quite fast, there were no more Sibuna meetings, to keep Mara and Eddie from becoming too suspicious.
The bell rang and Jerome asked if he could walk Mara back to the house.
"Sorry I'm going to the library to get a head start of the english assignment" Mara smile apologetically "You could come with me?"
"Do homework early?" Jerome joked "I'll pass, that doesn't sound like something Jerome Clarke would do" Jerome smiled at her and kissed her before running to catch up with the Sibuna members, Mara frowned when she saw him talking to them, she didn't know why, but it bothered her, the amount of time Jerome had spent with them.
Sibuna walked out of the school and started to discuss about their day.
"Eddie is getting suspicious" Patricia stated.
"Yeah so is Mara" Jerome agreed that they would have to be more subtle.
"Because Jerome is king at being subtle" Alfie joked as everyone laughed.
"I think we should let Eddie in" Patricia said and the laughter stopped.
"Patricia...it's too..." Nina started.
"He's the Osirian" Patricia argued "He might be able to help!"
"She has a point" Amber agreed.
"Okay, okay we'll talked to him" Nina said as she walked up the stairs to Anubis "But he has to take this seriously" Nina raised an eyebrow turning to the others as they followed her up the steps.
"Well Jerome has taken it pretty seriously,so if he can do I think Eddie can" Amber said.
"Hey! I'm right here" Jerome said and everyone laughed as they walked into the house.
When they opened the doors and walked in the laughter stopped.
"Hi I'm KT" KT smiled and waved "I'm new" she said when no one said anything and just stared at her blankly.
"A newbie?" Patricia said coldly.
"look at that Patricia a new American for you to poured your dinner over" Jerome joked and Amber elbowed him in the ribs.
"Hi, I'm Nina, I'm from America too" Nina smiled shaking her hand as the others walked in.
"That's cool, um could any of you tell me where I can find Victor?" She said holding a piece of paper reading the name from it.
"Well if he's not in his office then he's out" Amber said.
"Yeah there was no one there" KT Said shyly.
"Ask Trudy, she can show you where you stay" Jerome said pointing to the kitchen.
"oh ok thanks" KT smiled as she walked away.
"She seems nice" Fabian smiled.
"You know what else is nice?" Jerome smirked. everyone turned to him confused "Victors not here" Jerome said hoping they would catch on, they smiled and nodded showing they understood.
"Oh Amazeballs, let's have a party" Alfie jumped up and down, and Jerome rolled his eyes.
"Or we could have a look around Victors office for the key" Patricia said hitting Alfie on the head.
"Well ok but I still think a party would've been more fun" Alfie sulked as they made their way upstairs.
"The eclipse is almost upon us please give us some good news" Miss Denby said looking at Eric.
"Small signs have pointed me towards a certain individual" Mr Sweet said looking at the file.
"Who?" Victor asked.
"There have only been a few signs and..."
"I ASKED WHO?" Victor yelled becoming impatient.
"Calm yourself Victor" Mr Sweet said calmly "I know how much you want this, but if you rush me and I get it wrong then you can kiss eternal life goodbye."
"He's right" Miss Denby agreed "It's all down to this, we can't get it wrong."
"At least tell us who you think it is, so we too can keep an eye on them" Victor said "3 pairs of eyes are better than 1"
Mr Sweet looked at them before agreeing to tell them "Jerome Clarke" He said simply.
A pair of eyes widened from the other side of the door as they eavesdropped on the conversation, they knew one thing they had to warned the others, they had to warned Jerome. The person who heard the conversation ran down the corridor and ran for Anubis house.
So who do you think heard the conversation?
