I know Jara fans have been waiting for this!
Jerome: I have too!
Bookgirl39: Did you get those papers yet?
Jerome: Oh yeah… *leaves*
Bookgirl39: Hey! Who's going to do the disclaimer?
Mara: Bookgirl39 doesn't own House of Anubis
Bookgirl39: Thanks!
Jerome's POV
Jerome was watching the clock, anxiously waiting for midnight.
"Wow… of all people I never thought I'd see you like this, mate. A slave to love."
Jerome shot Alfie a quick glare before turning back to the clock. This is so stupid. Staring at it won't make it go faster. If anything it's making it slower!
"Jerome stop staring! It's weird! Plus if you're going to do that until midnight you're going to have a long wait because, not that you didn't already know this from staring at the clock, it's only ten thirty!"
Jerome sighed. Alfie had a point. Jerome took out his phone and set an alarm for midnight and put it under his pillow. May as well get some sleep.
~~~~~~~ An hour and a half later ~~~~~~~
Buzz
Jerome's phone was vibrating. Finally it was midnight! He hadn't been asleep, how could he? He was about to tell Mara something he'd wanted to tell her for a long time but couldn't. What made him think this time would be any easier? It probably wouldn't but Jerome had his mind made up. Even if it was too soon for Mara to be in a relationship since she and Mick had broken up, at least she'd know how he felt.
Jerome turned off the alarm and, without waking up Alfie, walked out to the main hallway.
Mara wasn't there yet. Is this a good thing? He thought. Is it good that I'm not late? Or is this a sign that she's not coming? He was starting to feel stupid about this whole thing. Maybe he should just go back.
Just then Mara and Patricia's door opened. "Don't worry, Patricia! I'll be right back!" She whispered before closing the door. She walked downstairs to where Jerome was standing under the tears of glass.
She looked nervous. "What do you want, Jerome? Can we make this quick? I woke up Patricia and-"
Jerome cut her off by kissing her.
Mara's POV
They kissed for a few seconds then broke apart.
Mara was blushing. "What was that?" Jerome had just kissed her!
"You said to be quick. That was the quickest way I could think of to explain everything."
He looked so sweet and honest and very un-Jerome-like. Mara wasn't sure what to think.
"So… will you go to Prom with me? I kind of need an answer… Victor might…"
"Umm well…"
"Sorry if it's… too soon… I just thought… you know… you should know."
Is this why Jerome had been so weird when she was dating Mick? Of course it was.
Patricia came out of their room and walked to the top of the stairs. "Mara! Hurry up! Victor will see you!"
"I'll think about it ok?" Mara said quickly before running upstairs.

Stars&Stripes50: Hey guys! Can't sleep?
BeautyQueen7: How could I? Since Prom is tomorrow - well tonight actually since it's midnight – and there's no school anyway. Thanks again Mara!
SchoolRep84: No problem. I think it's going to be fun!
Stars&Stripes50: I'm so nervous though! Fabian and I are going together of course but I'm worried about Joy…
BeautyQueen7: We can NOT let her break you guys up! Like I said you need to be together forever and ever. I REALLY need to know who King Tut is! I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow. How about you Mara? Got a date?
SchoolRep84: Umm… someone did ask me…
Stars&Stripes50: … And?
BeautyQueen7: OMG! When? Did you say yes? Who is it? OMG!
SchoolRep84: Last night and I haven't answered yet. He was really sweet about it saying he'd understand if it was too soon and it was ok if I didn't want to… it was so unexpected…
Stars&Stripes50: Okay so you don't want to tell us who?
BeautyQueen7: Well it's a guy… that narrows it down to about half the students…
Stars&Stripes50: So can you tell us?
SchoolRep84: You'd never believe me!
Stars&Stripes50: I believed that Fabian liked Patricia! It's not hard to convince me!
BeautyQueen7: Try me!
SchoolRep84: Would you believe… Jerome?
BeautyQueen7: OMG! I KNEW IT!
Stars&Stripes50: How?
BeautyQueen7: Okay, I didn't…
Stars&Stripes50: Mara, that's unbelievable
SchoolRep84: Told you! I was pretty shocked too! I thought maybe he had gotten a hold of embarrassing pictures or my diary or something and was going to blackmail me but I he just kissed me!
BeautyQueen7: Aww! You are going to say yes right?
SchoolRep84: Well I guess I'll give him a chance…
Stars&Stripes50: You should. Never know, you might like him.
SchoolRep84: Well I know for a fact that there's a lot more to Jerome then food fights and pranks.

Ooh! Who's BewareTheBlackBird0101? You'll probably guess. And remember that Mick and Mara broke up in this story.
