3rd Person POV:

*In a random hallway.*

"Glad you chose me Mara. Great choice!" remarked Jerome putting an arm around her pulling her close.

"You chose me!" She argued back shoving him off.

"Well I didn't want to be alone and Trixie is having those moods again!" Jerome retorted.

"Yeah ever since the dance she hasn't been the same. Wonder what's gotten into her?"

"Maybe she's inloveeeee?"

"How do you know?"

"I can tell. She's in love with someone she shouldn't be in love with. She doesn't want to love him but she does."

"Hm... Jerome you might be right. When did you become such a romantic?"

"When I met you..." he replied puckering his lips.

"Haha too funny." She pushed his lips away and walked into the cafeteria.

She walked into the kitchen and started searching the cabinets.

"The foods not in there." Jerome told watching her search the area for no reason.

"What do you mean?" Mara sneered at him closing a cabinet.

"Foods in the closet. I would know because this is where Alfie gets his snacks." Jerome replied opening the closet revealing a bunch of fruit, snacks, and non perishables.

"Woah! We should tell them its here! I could kiss you!" Mara exclaimed.

"Then do." Jerome injected puckering up his lips

"I'm sorry I can't... I'm still not over Mick... I loved him Jerome."

"But... You and Me..?"

"I need time Jerome... Promise me that. Let me have my time..." She wasn't over him just yet. She still cared for him in a way she cared like no other. She needed time. Yes she did have feelings for Jerome she would admit that. Would she date Jerome? YES! But now's not the time. In her heart Mick still holds a spot. She's waiting. Just waiting for it to fly away to a new heart. Does this mean she still loved Mick? Why was this so hard.

"Mara. I will always be here no matter what. If time is what you want then I will wait." Jerome reluctantly replied. He didn't want to wait. He wanted to hold her in his arms and never let go. He was too late. He knew she had just broken up with a guy she loved but that didn't matter. To him atleast. He wanted to be with Mara and he was going to anything to do it. She was the only one he could tell his childhood too. He opened a door for her. Now when she's ready she can walk inside.

"I wonder who Patricia likes?" Mara asked trying to get off the subject.

"Haha... Remember that time Nina thought she liked Fabian... That was hilarious!" Jerome laughed trying to break the awkward tension.

"What if she actually liked Fabian? What if she was inlove with him but didn't want to because he loved Nina?"

"Mara... That's insane...!"

"Think about it Jerome. She's been very mean to him lately. She might be hiding her love for him."

"You might be onto something. I can't believe it. Our little Trixie is in love with Fabian Rutter!"

"But we can't tell no one. That will ruin everything. We just have to figure out how to get it out of her.

*Back at the front of the school.*

"Soo which way?" Nina asked looking up at the brown haired boy who looked around.

"Well... We could... Go.. Um... Check some classrooms?" Fabian replied scratching his head.

"They are locked. Most of the teachers went home. We could try. Since everyone else has probably found a place." She replied sighing.

"Well lets go that way. Since none of them went down it."

WHOOSH

"What was that Fabian?" Nina shivered looking at him scared.

"What was what?" He asked wondering why she got so scared.

"I thought I heard something? Didn't you?"

"Maybe you're just hearing things. Don't worry. We will be fine... Your probably just scared that we are stuck here." He rubbed her shoulder and started walking down the hallway.

She nodded slowly wanting to burry her face in his chest. She wished she could do that with him. She wished he noticed she was nervous. She was afraid of heartbreak. Ever since they kissed she has avoided him afraid he would leave her for Joy or any other girl. She has heard from Amber he and Joy were close before I came. He's been trying to talk to me about the kiss ever since. I didn't want to talk about it. It was a mistake from the begriming. It was an amazing kiss though. She wanted to tell him but he wouldn't listen. He liked other girls not her. Why would such a perfect guy like him want a normal girl like her. Besides it could ruin their friendship... She can't do that. If they break up they might never be friends again. But again... she wished... just wish that he knew she wanted the be the girl he should be with.

"So..." She awkwardly murmured walking in place with him.

"Um... Nina... We should talk... About the... You know..." He stummered a bit knowing she didn't want to.

"Well... it was nothing... Just spur of the moment. Won't happen again. I swear."

"What do you mean won't happen again?"

"I'm not going to kiss you ever again. Okay?"

"Okay..." Does she really not want to kiss him. Did she really not like him? I guess she doesn't like him... I guess she doesn't want him. He wanted her though. He wanted to hold her and tell her she's his. He wanted to be the prince in her life and sweep her off her feet. He had to make that clear. He wasn't giving up. NO WAY NO HOW! Not now.

"I'm sorry... It's just I really wanted to go home see my friends and Gran. Now I might never leave this hell hole..." She sighed sliding down to sit infront of a locker.

"Don't worry Nina... You have us this year." Fabian replied sitting next to her.

"I know... I'm glad... I never realized I would be leaving all of you for a month... Includding you. I wouldn't know what I'd do if it weren't for you. Thank you... And I'm really sorry about flipping out over that kiss. It was just nothing. Still friends?" She extended her hand hoping he would shake it.

He shook it then pulled her close to him for a bit. She just sat there staring at their feet as they intwined. Yeah just friends.

*In the Drama Room* (Where they held the play)

Patricia sat there on a beanbag thinking... About Jason of course. She didn't know what to do... She loved him and hated him all at the same time. No one could understand. They would think she was crazy. Falling in love with her teacher. How could she let this happen. How could she feel this way about someone... She felt something different with him. Something no guy felt like before. He made her feel safe... Until now... He betrayed her. He was soo selfish he would of killed her for immortality...

"Hey... I thought you would be here. I heard you guys were stuck here and I went looking for you." Jason injected disrupting her thoughts.

"You're stick here too mister..." She sneered back turning away from him.

"Can we talk?" He asked

"I thought we already talked early. I told you for the last time I don't want to hear it! You were selfish and you were willing to kill me for immortality! I trusted you!" Patricia bantered out at him.

"And to think I was in love with you...!" Oops did she say that outloud. Crap now what was he going to think of her. That it was crazy for a student to love a teacher. That it goes against his morals.

"You were what?" He replied still in shock from what she said.

"You know what. Fuck you Jason. Fuck you. Don't ever talk to me again. And this time... I mean it..." She whispered the last part and left the room. She went to the only place he dare not go the girls room. She locked her self in a stall and cried. Banging her fists against the door didn't seem to help only make a loud noise. Nobody heard her cries. Nobody knew deep down inside she was hurt... heartbroken... He didn't care one bit about her. To him she was just a student. Something he could throw away the second he found something he wanted.

WHOOSH

"Hello? Is Someone in here? Jason I swear if you're in here I'm going to punch you in the fucking face."

CREEK

"Okay that's not funny? Jerome!"

"I'm watching you Patricia..." A dark hideous voice murmured "All of you..."

"Who are you?" she screamed.

WHOOSH

"What the hell!"

The words in her head rang. Watching you. What did that mean anyway. Maybe she was hearing things... She should get back before the others worry she's gone missing.

What was that voice...? Who could it be...? Rate and Review for Patricia going to punch him in the fucking face if the noise was Jason.
