Hey guys! So I fixed the section of this story. Basically my friend wanted to do the section while I wasn't there and she didn't realize that there was a House of Anubis section, so it was in the Egyptian Mythology section for about a week or two. The only reason I didn't change it is because I forgot my password. Hehe. But, it's here now so we're hoping to get more reviews! Okay, enough with my babbling. Enjoy the second chapter of House of Genies!

Chapter Two: The Next Day
Jennifer's POV
When I was thinking about the previous nights events, I heard a knock on the door. And standing there, was Jerome. He looked like he hadn't slept all night. "Oh my god, are you ok?" I asked. "No." Jerome replied. "Do you mind if I come in?" He asked. "No its fine."

There are times like these when I'm glad I don't have a roommate anymore. Well that is ever since Trinity decided to come. Trinity is Gabi's old friend from her school in New York. She wanted to stay with Gabi and I didn't mind being alone.

I asked Jerome what was wrong. "Well, last night, when you left, everyone else started leaving but the genie told me to stay. He said that he was angry at me for almost going back to you. And then he said that he's going to get all his brothers and sisters and genies of other appliances to come after me when I'm not suspecting it. I couldn't sleep all night." I gasped. "Oh I feel so bad for you."

I rested my head on Jerome's shoulder for awhile, while he put his arms around me. Not because I liked it, it was just to comfort him! I mean he was a mess! It was actually quite comforting. I wonder if he feels the same way. About the whole thing being comforting, I mean! Ok, maybe I liked it a bit. Or maybe a little bit more than a bit. Ok fine, I, Jennifer Williamson like Jerome Clarke. But who wouldn't? Well except for Nina because her and Fabian have that whole I love you but I won't tell you thing going on. You have to see it to believe it.

But anyway, since we had school I had to get ready and so did Jerome. After I got dressed I realized it was super early so Trudy hadn't even started making breakfast yet. "Oh Jennifer, dearie, what are you doing down here so early?" She asked me. "I don't know, I woke up, got dressed, and here I am! Do you need help with anything?" I asked her. "Actually nothing. I think I've got it all covered. But thanks for offering sweetie." "No problem." I said. I was about to sit down when I realized I didn't have my special necklace on.

It's a very big part of me because my dad gave it to me before he died. This is the only thing I have left of him. Then a year later my mom started dating someone, its like she didn't even care about him anymore! I ran upstairs to put it on.

When I got back downstairs, I noticed a blond haired head face down on the table. Jerome. I went over to him. "Jerome? Hello? Are you okay? Earth to Jerome!" he wouldn't budge. But then, he lifted his head up with a small smirk on his face. "Wait for it." he said. Wait for what? My question was suddenly answered by Victor marching down the steps. His face looked angry. "Trudy, have you seen the cookies my grandmother made for me?" Victor asked. Trudy thought for a second then answered,"Goodness! Weren't they here just a second ago?" Trudy looked around but saw nothing. "I intend to interview everyone on this house until I found out who stole my cookies!" We waited until Victor marched back upstairs and Trudy followed him to start laughing our heads off. "You did it?" I guessed. "You would be right." He was about to say something, something important that I would not know until later when Victor cut him off by calling upstairs for his "cookie interview". As he was walking downstairs, a chocolate chip cookie fell out of his pocket. I stifled a giggle. I looked at it. 'only Jerome' I thought.

Jerome ended up getting caught and then everyone else came down. Apparently, Nina and Fabian had heard about the thing that happened earlier. (don't act like you don't know!) Nina and Fabian asked me if I liked Jerome and right when I was about to make sure that they wouldnt tell a soul that I liked him, guess who came down? If you guessed Jerome you are absotively posilutely right!

I couldn't tell them that I liked him because I was so nervous in front of him and he obviously doesn't feel the same way about me! I feel so stupid for thinking that he did. "Swear not to tell a soul that what?" Jerome asked. He leaned into our little group of conversation. "That uhhh..." I couldn't think of an answer, so I did the one thing that came naturally when i got into these situations. I got up and ran outside.

Cliffhanger! I'm so mean aren't I? Anyway, we hope you peoples enjoyed it and remember, every time that you review you get one more seaweed pie and you help feed the

hungry! Jen 3
