Hope y'all like this! Make sure you read the author's note at the bottom when you're finished, I have a special announcement! This was prompted by justkeeptyping!

"Good morning, Jeffray, how are you this fine day?" Jerome smiled, entwining his girlfriend's fingers with his.

"Good, why?" she held in a chuckle. She's never seen Jerome this happy—he nearly skipped up to her.

"No reason," he shrugged.

He tugged her to a stop and stepped behind her. He looped a gold chain around her neck, before she could ask what he was doing, and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. She picked the small gold heart pendant up, holding it between her thumb and forefinger.

"I love you too," Mara smiled, answering the engraving on the locket.

"Phew, good," he grinned.

"Thank you, I love it," she pulled away from him and pulled him toward the school.

"Viola," Jerome grinned, holding up a bouquet of flowers.

"Wow, thank you, Jerome, they're beautiful." Mara took them with a small smile.

"Not as beautiful as you," he said sweetly, taking heard hand in his. He kissed her knuckles gently and then kissed her cheek.

As he pulled her down the hall to the double doors that led outside Mara watched him warily. What was he hiding? Did he do something? Is he trying to make up for it by buying her presents? Why doesn't he just ask her forgiveness? Was it really that bad?

Jerome threw an arm around her shoulders as they crossed the yard to Anubis. The way he did that was always so protective, like he was afraid someone might rip her away from him if he didn't hold on. When Mick did this, Mara always thought it was because he needed a place to rest his good arm after sports practice. Her shoulder would always smell like sweat when he removed his arm—he was always sweaty. Jerome, on the other hand, always smelled good. He was never sweaty and his cologne seemed to draw her in. Whenever Mara inhaled his wonderful sent, her thoughts would go away, as well as her stress and worries.

But this time, though his cologne surrounded her, she couldn't stop wondering what he had done.

Mara strolled out of the computer lab and looked up from her notebook long enough to see Jerome weaving his way through the swarm of teens. She sighed and ran a hand through her dark hair, smiling up at him softly. Jerome had been giving her presents all day. Around last period she'd lost count of how many.

He pulled her outside and took a deep breath of the warm air. "It feels amazing out. Come forth into the light of things and let nature be your teacher."

Mara ignored the quote, her brown eyes darting between his blue ones quickly. She didn't find dishonesty or the usual wall hiding his emotions. He looked genuinely happy. Jerome reached into his bag and pulled out a gold box of chocolate. Mara took it and let out a long tired breath.

"Jerome, what did you do?"

His eyes never left hers as a confused expression ran across his pale face. "What?"

"You keep giving me all these presents. You always give me presents but you've been giving me more than usual, and in the same day. What did you do?" she raised a dark eyebrow at him, trying to keep from bursting into tears. What if he cheated on her?

"It's your birthday, Mara." He told her.

"My birth—oh, no, Jerome, my birthday's tomorrow." She pressed her lips together to keep from laughing.

"Isn't today the twenty-fourth?"

"No, that's tomorrow."

"Oh," Jerome nodded, backing away from. "Looks like you're getting many more presents."

"Jerome, you don't have to—" she shook her head.

"Love you, Jeffray," he winked and hopped down stairs to plan his string of gifts.

So...yeah, what'd y'all think? Let me know and REVIEW! Oh, and prompt!

So the special announcement is that xXAquaMangoXx nominated this story as one of four of the Featured FanFictions on House of Anubis Wikia! So go on there and vote! If ya wanna. It's already like three ahead of the other three. I checked out the other stories and one of them wasn't the best but looked interesting (but not something I'd keep reading), then the next is Fabina and I'm not such a huge fan I'd start fan-girling over them, so I didn't read the whole thing, the next one was like a parody of the Hunger Games and since I don't read those books...

So, yeah! Thanks, Aqua, I feel so honored and special!

Can anyone tell me whos quote that is? "Come forth into the light of things and let nature be your teacher."

Galations 5:16-17

"But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing things you want to do."

Love y'all! God bless!
