JARA Drabbles

Mara's POV

Jerome is so... hmmmm, I don't know. Secretive, Funny, Manipulative and Awesome. He is an open book, that shuts and locks with a key. I don't u54nderstand, he is like a VERY complicated puzzle. Over time you work it out, and fit all of the pieces together...

"5-4. isn't that great Mars!? Although there's not much of a difference, but we WON!" Mick concluded. Oops, I zoned out.

I smiled and nodded, "That's great Mick, well done." He smiled and leaned into kiss me, just as the bell went.

I jumped up and said, "Gotta go, I'm meeting Eddie for the new article. Bye Mick." I let out a breath as I walked off. I wasn't lying, I did have to meet Eddie, but not for the newspaper.


I saw him and jogged up to meet him.

"Hey Eddie! What did you..." I broke off as I saw Jerome. "Jerome? What are you doing here?" I queried.

"Well you see 'Ara, Jerry has something he wanted to show you and he didn't see you himself, because.. well because you know how Mick is when you and Jerome are hanging around each other." Eddie answered.

"Oh, OK." I smiled brightly.

My smile faltered, "Eddie, we are going to get into trouble, we aren't in class! I-I-I cant get a DETENTION!" I panicked.

"Calm down 'Ara, I got you two an explained absence from class. Ahh, the benefits of having my dad as the principal." He smiled goofily before continuing, "Well I gotta get to class, see you guys later!" He walked off, his bag swinging on one shoulder, we watched his retreating back for a little while until I turned towards Jerome.

"So what is it that you wanted to show me?" I asked him, raising my head to look up at him. 'Damn his height' I thought, before he smiled briefly.

"First of all, let's get out of the hallway, where anyone can see us. Second, this might make you sad, angry, and/or depressed and probably betrayed. Overall, very emotional. But," He lowered his voice to a whisper, and his blue orbs glistened with sincerity, "If you need someone to talk to, or just be around, I'm here." I nodded, not really understanding what he was going on about. We walked outside and he took out his phone.

"Jerome! You hacked into the school security cameras?!" I whisper-scolded.

"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't" He grinned mischievously. I sighed, shaking my head. He looked me in the eye.

"Are you ready? Are you sure you want me to show you this?" He asked softly.

"Yes Jerome. I'm okay with anything you decide to throw at me." I confirmed, he took a deep breath and played a video. I watched silently, my expression blank, masking my burning curiosity. Joy was standing in a storage closet waiting for someone, when suddenly the door opened and.. Mick walked in?! WHAT?! I couldn't hear what they were saying, but a few minutes later they started kissing and it turned into a full-blown make-out session. The bell sounded after a little while, and Mick gave Joy one final kiss before exiting. She left a minute later to avoid suspicion.

That's where the video ended. I blinked back the tears that threatened to fall, as Jerome turned off his phone. I couldn't bring myself to look at him.

"Are you ok?" He whispered. I looked up slightly and shook my head. He wrapped his arms around me and I broke down.

"He never loved me. I-I-I'm nothing. Oh I'm so STUPID! You were right, he is a meathead. I'm not good enough. I-I'm too short, too nosy, a nerd, whereas he's reasonably tall, he minds his own business and he is a jock. I couldn't see it, yet I led myself to believe that he loved me. No one could ever love me." I sobbed, my mind was going a million miles per hour.

"Hey, hey, hey. You're perfect, you're the perfect size to fit in my arms, you're beautiful, smart and just curious. He's dumb and doesn't see that. And Mara you're wrong, so many people love you. I-I love you Mara." I stopped crying.

"Thankyou Jerome. I think I have known for a while now, you've always been on my mind. I-I love you too, but before we do anything. I'm breaking up with Mick." I logged into my phone and saw my wallpaper, of Mick and myself after he aced his science test. I reminded myself to change it. I open messenger and clicked on Micks name, I sent him a text saying - 'We are OVER!' I turned my phone off and wiped my damp cheeks. I gazed up into Jerome's beautiful blue eyes. He smiled at me, happiness danced across his eyes as he leaned in, my eyes fluttered close just as we kissed, making us official.


WITH MICK

Mick's POV

Class is sooo boring. Mara's not here, Eddie is, Jerome's not here either. Eh, he's probably skipping. Joy and I are sitting next to each other. I like Joy, no, scratch that, I LOVE Joy, much more than Mara. Just as I was daydreaming about Joy and her kisses, my phone went off really loudly as Mr Sweet was talking. I cringed as The Holy Grail blasted out. He looked at me, marched over to my desk and snatched up my phone before I could read the text.

"This will teach you to turn your phone ion silent in my classroom Mr Campbell. Let's see, from Mara Jaffray. 'We are OVER!'" My heart dropped. She broke up with me. The class broke out into 'Ooohs' and 'Oh Burn! By text as well' along with a few 'Savage!' My face burned with embarrassment and anger. Mr Sweet gave me my back. Eddie looked like he knew it was going to happen, I wish I could go and wipe that smirk off his face, but then again, Patricia would probably kill me. I sighed and Mr Sweet silenced the class again, and went back to teaching. Joy smiled, comforting me. She reached out and started rubbing my back. I smiled at her.

"Thankyou" I mouthed.

"No problems" She mouthed back with a beautiful smile. I smiled and turned my head to the front and focused on staring straight ahead at the board.


A longer chapter was definitely needed. I'm thinking of writing up the next one today as well, just because I have some free time on my hands. Thanks again to SibunaMockingjay for reviewing my last chapter! Please read and review. More chapters will be up soon. (I hope ;)) -DramaQueen106
