Chapter 12
Jemma's point of view
Things have been so weird lately. I mean 4 of my mates have gone missing out of the blue and the new boy too, vanished off the earth. And i have boy issues. My boyfriend Phil i really like but then i know this is bad but i think i am in love with one of my mate's boyfriend, like Caty's boyfriend Jerome. And the worst thing of all i lost my V to Jerome last night, he was sleeping in his own bed next to me. Turns out he fancied me, as i did him, and then it had just happened.
My remaining mates and Jerome went to see the latest film at the cinema. The film finished at 7.30 at night, Jerome lived in the street next to mine, so we walked home together to discover my stupid mom and stepdad had gone out for the night, not telling me and leaving no key so i couldn't get in, so Jerome said i could stay at his. We watched films, eat popcorn and drank cider. His family were out. And then at midnight we had this random idea to make brownies, which we did and while we were making the brownies we got into this food fight then we just kissed and one thing led to another.
Now i looked at his alarm clock glowing a green light all over the room blinking 9.30 and the date Monday the 6th which meant we had school.
"Jerome, wake up" I said shaking him.
"What" He said
"We have school and we are over a hour late" I told him.
And i care because...come here Jem" He said the last part seductively, that i did, he put his arms around me pressing our naked bodies together.
It was 3pm by the time we had actullary got out of bed when his two older brothers had just got home. They had given us a glance then disappeared again. And now we were eating out of a tub of my and his favourite ice cream. We definitely had more in common then we realised. But then there was the other thing we both were in a happy relationship and not with each other and worse his girlfriend was my mate as mine his. Majorly bad.
"Umm Jerome" I started
"Yes what Jem" He said
"It's about Phil and Caty" I said
"What about them" He said shrugging
"Jerome we are going out with them" I said
"And I don't, I, I don't, look i just i don't really know okay" He said
"You don't know what" I said
"God Jem, I don't know if i want to be with Caty" He said at last
"I feel bad about it all" I said
"Jemma, if you want to be with Phil then I'm fine with it, we can just pretend this never happened okay" He said
"It never happened" I repeated more to myself
"Yeah" He said as i got all my stuff and left, but before i left he said "Bye Jemma"
He had called me Jemma, instead of Jem his own personal nickname for me. Which meant either he was glad to see me go or he really did like me.
