Chapter 37: Mara (slightly Jara)

*Mara's POV*

I woke up and saw my book bag was open again. I went through it. My Science book was gone again! I got up and searched around for it. I said "Baby Science, where are you? Here, baby, come to Mama."

I searched the hall, even places my book wouldn't fit in. I was crawling about and Trudy tripped over me, landing with a thud. "Ow! What? Mara? Sweetie, what are you doing?" She asked, standing up.

"Trudes, have you seen my science book?" I asked her. For some reason, I felt like she would be there no matter what, like a mum. The way I never felt with my own mum.

"No, lovely, I've not. Do you want me to ask the others?" Trudy asked.

"Yeah, thanks. You're a star." I told her, hugging her quickly. Her warm arms wrapped around me and I'd never felt safer. By breakfast, I'd finished searching all the girls' rooms, but when I'd tried Jerome and Alfie's room, the last of my search, I saw Alfie dressing. I really felt sorry for my science book baby.

Nina said "Mara, have you found your science book?"

"No, have you?" I asked hopefully.

"No, I haven't. I was just hoping you had." She told me.

Jerome snickered. I turned to him so fast, I almost got whiplashed. "Jerome, have you seen my science book?"

"No. Mara, why would I want your science book? I don't even want one of my own."

I had a sneaky suspicion he was lying.

"Mara? Mara? MARA!" My teacher yelled.

I stopped pulling at my hair. "What?" I asked.

"I've been asking for you science homework for the last five minutes."

I said "My book's missing, sir. I couldn't do it, I needed my book. My housemother's searching for me while I'm here."

"Have it in tomorrow, Miss Jaffray."

When I got home, it turned out that everyone was going for a meal out. Except Jerome. He'd got grounded and probated. Again. I walked to his room. "Jerome? Will you help me look for my book?"

"Why?" Jerome asked.

"I'll fail Science, Jerome! Please?"

He sighed. "Jaffray, I can deny you nothing."

I smiled. We began our search. I reached under his bed and felt... "MY BOOK!" I screamed happily.

Jerome was under Alfie's bed and he smashed into the frame. "Ow! You found it?"

"Yeah! Thanks, Jerome!" I told him, grabbing him as we stood up. My eyes met his, those deep pools of cerulean blue, so cool and deep, I could just float in those eyes forever...

The next thing I knew, his warm lips were on mine and our mouths moved in synchrony. What felt like ten seconds passed and Alfie walked in with Willow. "Whoa! People are walking in here!"

We broke apart, blushing. Just then, Willow said "Trudy wants us all in the living room."

We thought it was over my science book. Boy, was I wrong!

I hope this was an alright chapter. Review and let me know what you think! Until next time, BlackCat46 out! ;)
