Next chapter! Whoo! Anyway, this was prompted by BeautyAllAroundYou. I don't have any links for Jerome and Mara's costumes, mostly because I'm sure everyone knows what Esmeralda (Hunchback of Notre Dame) and Will Turner (Pirates of the Caribbean). So...ya. Now before you ask, no I don't know why I put a pirate and a gypsy together. Enjoy!
"When are we leaving?" Joy asked the other teens in the common room and dining room.
Across the street from the school there was to be carnival to help raise money for the school. There were rides, games and food, and many volunteers. Only Mara and Fabian were helping out at the stands. The rest of them had wanted to help but all of the costumes had been taken. Both of had to dress up in costumes and Alfie didn't want to because if he had, he would have been a big pink bunny instead of a zombie like he wanted. Fabian was now the big pink bunny.
Mara was wearing a long white dress that hung at her bare feet, the skirt was purple and the midsection was blue. A purple scarf with gold bells was tied around her waist and a pink scarf tied in her black hair. She wore gold hoop earrings with several matching gold bangles on her right wrist and an ankle bracelet on her right ankle.
"In a half an hour or so," Eddie shrugged.
"Mara, did I tell you that I love your costume?" Amber asked, playing with the collar of the dress. It hung down past her shoulders, making Mara feel extremely uncomfortable but she just tried not to think about it.
"Yes, Amber, several times, thanks." Mara smiled at her friend.
"I think you look awesome as a gypsy." Eddie commented.
"Thank you, Eddie." Mara sighed, feeling a blush creep onto her cheeks.
Everyone laughed when Patricia slapped her boyfriend upside the head and then the room quieted down once more.
"Well, everyone is here, except Jerome. Where is he?" Mara wondered, looking up from her notebook.
"He's working at one of the booths too; he's changing into his costume." Alfie replied.
"I bet his costume is going to be something totally lame and hilarious." Mick snickered.
"I'm heading over early, who wants to walk across with me?" Jerome appeared in the door way of the common room.
The guys' eyes bulged out of their heads and the girls' jaws dropped.
Jerome's blonde hair was wet and a couple inches longer, and though usually swept to the side was pushed back with a few strands hanging down on the sides of his face. His blue eyes sparkled with amusement as his friends stared at him in surprise. He wore a puffy, white v-neck shirt that exposed his chest, along with a brown vest that hung past his waist which had a brown belt wrapped around it. He had black trousers and brown boots.
"I'll let you guys think about this, and I'll head over." He said after a moment of complete silence.
"Woah," Joy ground out.
"I'm gonna go over as well." Mara announced and took off after Jerome.
When she caught up to him, her feet were aching and she had almost sprained her ankle. She hated that she wasn't allowed to wear shoes with the dress, but honestly, Mara hadn't minded that much at the time, it completed the outfit.
"Hello, Jaffray." Jerome smiled down at her, bumping her playfully in the side.
"'Sup, Clarke?" she grinned, bumping him back.
They were silent once again.
"You make a rather dashing pirate."
Jerome smirked at her as she hid behind her hair. He paused in his tracks and she stopped too. "You make a rather gorgeous gypsy." He whispered huskily, trailing a finger over her collar bone to her shoulder.
She shivered and turned back to her destination. He grinned when she put a hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths. He barely gave her time to breathe before crashing his lips into hers. The raven haired girl gasped at the contact but didn't waste any time in kissing him back.
They broke apart when someone cleared their throat. They turned to their friends whose eyebrows were raised in curiosity.
"Didn't expect that to happen," Eddie spoke up.
"Oh, you two make such a cute couple!" Amber grinned.
"Oh, Amber, we're not—" Mara started.
"Will you go out with me?" Jerome cut her off. "Please?"
"Really?" she said hopefully.
He nodded nervously.
"Yes, I'd really like that." she breathed with a smile.
The pirate let out a relieved sigh and pressed his lips to hers again, wrapping her up in another head spinning kiss.
I have another exstention! Check it out; it's titled the same! Ya know, I keep getting the same prompts, over and over again. Like, I already wrote a drabble on the prompt and then someone prompts it again and then someone else. It's kind of annoying. So, please watch what you prompt! Thank you!
