House of Jara CHAPTER 16
Jerome's heart fell when he saw Mara looking at Mick considering ditching him for meat head Campbell.
"Actually Mick, Jerome and I are busy so we can't talk sorry" Mara told him straight much to the amazement of Jerome.
"But I've been thinking about giving us another chance" Mick disclosed as if he was being generous about the situation.
"No thanks Mick I don't want to get back together with you. You broke up with me remember?" Mara told her ex-boyfriend. He looked flabbergasted but Mara and Jerome walked past him into the house and straight to the dining table where Trudy was already serving supper. They sat next to each other, next to Fabian. Mick skipped supper and walked moodily to his room.
"Patricia and Eddie look very friendly" Jerome whispered to Mara and she giggled at his unusual interest in others affairs.
"They do look cute together" she said looking at the two rebels. They carried on chatting throughout supper. After supper Amber was about to leave but Jerome called her back.
"Ok what's this about?" Amber asked rather suspicious.
"We were wondering if you wanted to watch Lemonade Mouth with me, Jerome and probably Alfie after lights out" Mara whispered it was Friday night so they didn't need to get up early. Jerome's head bobbed up as an idea popped into his head.
"I will be right back I need to talk to Trudy" Jerome said before running up to her room to ask her a few things.
"I'd love to, are you watching in the boy's room?" Amber replied as Jerome ran off, happy to watch one of her favourite movies. They began chatting about the movie when Mara had answered her question when Jerome came back into the room with a huge grin on his face.
"What are you so happy about?" Mara asked suspiciously.
"We're having a party tomorrow dress code: Short skirts and dresses." Jerome explained cheekily nodding.
"That's very degrading don't you think, short skirts and dresses being required instead of a choice." Mara said frowning at Jerome's shallowness.
"It's only a bit of fun and it's only going to be Anubis residents, no one creepy is coming unless you count Meat head Campbell" Jerome explained not wanting Mara to think any less of him.
"Don't worry Mara it'll be fun, anyway let's go up to my room yeah?" Amber said happily. "We can get ready for the movie" she whispered as they skipped off to Amber's room with Mara silently begging Jerome to save her from Amber's girlyness.
"See you girls later" Jerome called after them and met Alfie in their room. "Mara and Amber are coming down later to watch Lemonade Mouth and we're having a party tomorrow" Jerome explained happily to his best friend.
"That sounds epic wait did you say Mara's coming down? Are you two like, I don't know, Jara now? At least that's what Amber has called you two" Alfie conversed casually with his mate. Jerome looked very confused at his choice words.
"We're not a couple no but yes she is coming down to watch the movie" Jerome enlightened the very blatant boy in front of him. "Wait, did you just say Jara?" he asked.
"Yes, Amber can see good couples a mile off. It's scary sometimes but I think she's got this one right. There's also Fabina and Peddie and she used to refer to Fabian and Joy as Jabian" Alfie explained his girlfriend's habits. "She makes couple scrapbooks too, weird right?" Alfie added.
"That is kinda weird anyway where we gonna watch it?" Jerome replied thinking about a Jara scrapbook. They didn't talk much until the girls arrived at eleven.
"Hey girls" Alfie said as Jerome let them into the room.
"Hey Alfie!" Amber said and kissed him. She really did love him even if people thought she was just with him for the compliments. She kissed him on the cheek when they sat on the floor side by side.
"Hi Mara" Jerome said with the shy smile that is never seen by anyone… ever… in his whole life except for Mara.
"Hey" Mara replied, it was the only thing she could utter. They sat on the blanket set out on the floor. The boys were just dressed in scruffy pyjamas but Amber was dressed in this: amber_millingtons_pjs/set?id=54184931 and Mara was dressed in this: mara_jaffray_pjs/set?id=54185287
"We're still watching Lemonade Mouth right? I love that movie" Amber asked to clarify as she leaned her head on Alfie's shoulder.
"Yeah course, me and Mara didn't finish it when we were watching it a few days ago" Jerome confirmed and put it into his laptop. They were half way through the movie and Amber was asleep on Alfie's shoulder and Mara was falling asleep on Jerome's. 'Hello Jerome' there it was again, the voice, Rufus' voice. Accept this time it wasn't in his head.
