YES! I updated ever so quickly. I just wanted to write more.
You learn the strange girl's name in this chapter. :D
And, what Jerome thinks of her.
ENJOY!
Disclaimer: Mah. I don't own House of Anubis. Or Jerome. I own however the strange girl. Yadda, yadda.
Jerome just gaped at the girl. He couldn't see her whole face, considering it was night time, and she was hooded. But, he had been able to see her eyes, which made him seem like he was in a trance, just as before.
The stranger pursed lips, and sighed. "I, uh, this is where I'm supposed to be… I guess." She explained to Jerome, uncomfortably shifting.
Jerome nodded, slack jawed. It suddenly dawned on him; he was just letting the poor girl stand in the rain. Swinging the door open, Jerome looked at the girl, and slightly smiled. "Oh, uh, right, come in." He smiled. Someone way in the back of his mind told Jerome this was a horrible idea, and just not let the suspicious girl in. But, he couldn't resist.
The girl apprehensively took a step in, dropping her hood. She was soaked to the bone, and teeth-chattering cold. Jerome widened his eyes, quickly running to the kitchen, and coming back with a towel in his hand. "Here," He said, holding it out for the girl to take.
She eyed the towel, and timidly grabbed it, mumbling a quick 'thanks', and started to dry herself off. Jerome took another look at her, and the same feeling came back, like he couldn't breathe. She was small, like a foot shorter than him, and she was pale. There were freckles scattered across her small, button-like nose that seemed to pop against her skin tone. Above her right eyebrow, there was the slightest of scars, but it was just barely noticeable. Although her hair was soaked, Jerome could see it was wavy, almost curly, but not quite. Many boys would have just shrugged her off, only seeing the different colored eyes, viewing as 'weird', or 'freaky'. But not Jerome; he thought she was beautiful.
His train of thought came to an abrupt stop as soon as he realized he was spacing out right there. The girl stood there, staring at him oddly. Jerome blushed, and stifled a cough, before putting on the friendliest smile that he could muster (he is Jerome, after all…), and held out his right hand.
"I'm Jerome. Jerome Clarke. This is Anubis House." He said, using a sweep of his arm for dramatic emphasis.
The girl nodded, a real smile, small, but real, showing up across her face. "So, I amin the right place," She said, blinking a couple times as if she believed she was in a dream. "My name is Evangeline Forrester," She paused, and stuck out her hand. "I'm new here, if you couldn't tell."
Evangeline, Jerome thought, as he shook her hand. Even her name is beautiful.
"So, Evangeline, what caused you to come here so early?" He questioned, retracting his hand into his pocket. "None of the new students are supposed to arrive until next week." Now that he thought about it, she didn't have any stuff with her either.
"Well, it's a long, and complicated story," She said, timidly, then smiled slightly at him. "My bags are supposed to be here tomorrow," Evangeline added, as if she read his mind.
Jerome just smiled, and nodded. "Then, I guess since your room isn't ready, you'll room with some of the other girls in this house." He explained to her, as they heard footsteps barreling down that stairs.
"Jerome!" A familiar blonde haired girl's voice called from the top of the stairs.
Evangeline cringed, as she watched Amber stop dead in her tracks, and stare at Evangeline.
Amber opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't seem to find her voice.
So, she squeaked.
So how was it?
Yup, I like cliff hangers. Can't you tell? xD
Anyways, I'd appreciate if you told me what you thought about this chapter. It was mostly Jerome and the OC, but there are going to be others from the gang involved too!
Alright. I have to go now. xD See ya!
