Hola peoples! Ok so I wanted to thank the people that commented on my story so far. These people are: .87, Shannon, and 2theleftx2! Thanks to their support the story is getting better by the minute! Ok so since I have to do the disclaimer thingy, here it is.
Disclaimer: I do not own House of Anubis. If I did, I would be on it and Fabian and Nina would've admitted their feelings for each other a long time ago! So now that that's over with, on with the story!

Chapter Three: So Close, Yet So Far Away
Jerome's POV
I watched as Jen ran out of the house and outside. Had I done something wrong? I ran outside to catch up with her.
I saw her sitting in the garden. I couldn't help but picture what she would look like with one of the flowers in her hair.
I shook myself out of my thoughts as I walked over to her. " Hey Jen... Is there something that's bothering you? Because if there is I need to know."
Jen looked at me weirdly. "No, I just wanted to get some fresh air. I actually think maybe I should go back inside now."
I interrupted her. I had a plan. "No wait, don't go yet." I said in a flirtacious tone. "I have to tell you something, you can't go until you.." I suddenly forgot my plan. Just seeing her staring at me directly in the eyes.
She looked confused. "Until I what?" She asked.
What to say? What to say? Wait, we have drama homework from last night to rehearse a scene that we would perform in class! You might ask how this fits in to it. Just wait and see!
"Until you, help me with this scene for drama that we need to reherse. Remember, the one that Mr. Winkler is picking two people to perform?"
She nodded her head. "Yeah, sure Jerome, why not? I was going to ask you anyway. I need a little help with this scene."
We stood up and started the scene. It started with my character James, saying something that I sort of had to make up because I couldn't remember the whole thing. "Oh my dear, sweet, fair maiden. Please let me be yours forever, until I die and lye in my grave." I recited.
Now it was Jen's character's line. Her name was Lily. (Extra awesomeness to you if you know what those two characters names are from!) "But James we shan't. My father, he does not want thou to love me."
And now the only part I actually remembered. "Forget about him Lily, this is much more important." I lifted her chin up and moved in to kiss her. This was it. We were so close and-
"Jennifer! Jerome! You really should come in to eat breakfast! Before Alfie eats all the hash browns!"
Trudy.
I groaned as I moved away from Jen. I could've sworn I heard a similar groan from Jen but I must've been imagining things.
"Okay Trudy we'll be there in a second!" Jen said. As she was walking she stopped and said to me, "Thank you for helping me Jerome. You did a really great job. I actually thought you might've wanted to kiss me." She chuckled nervously and leaned in. She kissed me on the cheek and ran inside leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Most of them were something like, 'She likes you Jerome and she just proved it. Now go in there, follow her, and finish what she started.' My thoughts really confused me sometimes.
I sighed and walked inside.

Jen's POV
After I ran outside Jerome came and asked me to rehearse the scene for drama. I didn't have a problem with it and I was going to ask him to help me so I said sure.
His character, James had the first line. "Oh my dear, sweet, fair maiden. Please let me be yours forever, until I die and lye in my grave." He recited perfectly.
Then my character, Lily, had a line. "But James we shan't. My father, he does not want thou to love me."
After I said that line, I gulped nervously. For I had just realized, James and Lily kissed in this scene.
I was interrupted from my thoughts when Jerome said his next line. "Forget about him Lily, this is much more important."
And here it comes. He lifted up my chin and we started to inch closer. Come on Jen you can do this girl! I said to myself. We were so close and our lips are just about to touch-
"Jennifer! Jerome! You really should come in to eat breakfast! Before Alfie eats all the hash browns!" Trudy.
I groaned as Jerome took his hand away from my chin. I could've sworn I heard a groan similar to mine coming from Jerome, but I was probably imagining it. I sighed.
"Ok Trudy we'll be there in a second!" I said. I grabbed my school jacket that I brought outside.
I was about to walk through the door when I realized I should thank Jerome. "Thanks for helping me Jerome. You did a really great job. I actually thought you might've wanted to kiss me." I chuckled a little nervously and kissed him on the cheek before running inside.

That Night Before Bed
I figured I would write something in my journal because today was a pretty good day.

Dear Journal,
I kissed Jerome today, not full out snogging, but on the cheek to thank him for helping me with a drama scene. We were about to kiss, but then someone, and I'm not naming names (cough cough Trudy! Cough cough!), interrupted us for breakfast. Even though everyone did a great job rehersing the scene, Jerome and I didn't get picked. The people who got picked were, Nina and Fabian! And they actually kissed! Everyone cheered because everyone knows that they like each other! Onto another thing though, I think Jerome might possibly like me after today's experience, but I'm probably wrong. I guess I'm sort of glad we didn't get picked for the scene, because that might of been really akward. Grr... I would love to write more but there's Victor's speech. Okay, goodnight.
