House of Jara CHAPTER 19
Everyone had winced from Amber's squeal,
"Did she just say Jara?" Mara questioned Jerome; he simply nodded as Mick glared unhappily at them.
"Congratulations and celebrations" Alfie sang happily, twirling around the room.
"Shut it Alfie" Jerome snapped making Alfie put his hands up in fake surrender, Nina just smiled sweetly at the new couple – she knew she wasn't in the right place with Jerome at the moment to actually say anything to them.
"I never pictured the two of you together" Fabian said, patting Jerome on the back and smiling at the two of them.
"Well me neither but look – we are together" Jerome told him, pulling Mara to his side and smiling down at her.
"I don't think it'll last to be honest" Mick scowled from across the room.
"Mick, again, you broke up with me" Mara told her bitter ex-boyfriend "I'm actually pretty glad you did, otherwise I'd still be with you and not with Jerome. Still with you as you bore me with all you sport and fitness craziness, I get enough of that at home with my parents" Mara explained, Mick looked hurt but his eyes soon turned cold.
"Well at least now I don't have to endure your constant reading and doing homework" Mick shot back at her.
"I was only doing my homework when you were around because you were always training when I take breaks from school work" Mara clarified.
"I only did that because you're boring as hell" Mick yelled, everyone just watched as their argument got more and more heated – into a yelling match.
"Then why did you go out with me?" she asked in disbelief.
"I went out with you because you got me really good grades" Mick told her, coldly causing Mara's eyes to fill with tears and she ran up to her room.
"That was low Mick, how could you do that? And to Mara" Amber said with narrowed eyes, she quickly ran after Mara to comfort her, after all they were best friends before everything with Mick and Nina. Jerome was ready to launch a full out attack on Mick but Alfie pulled him away and up to Mara's room.
"Mara, he didn't mean any of that – you are not boring at all" Jerome told her, sitting beside her.
"He's right about the books and homework though" Mara sniffed.
"That only shows how much smarted you are than him" Jerome told her, succeeding in making her smile.
"Thanks Jerome" Mara choked, wiping her tears away.
"We need a picture of this!" Amber commented just as Joy entered the room. "Joy! Take a picture of us please" she asked, handing her a camera. "Everybody smile!" Amber, Mara and Alfie smiled widely but Jerome gave a very small smile – it was more like a twitch. "I'm making an Amfie, Jara scrapbook" Amber told them in a sing-song voice.
"Why, Amber?" Mara queried.
"Because I want to, plus Jerome is Alfie's best friend" Amber explained thoroughly, so Amber thought yet Mara was still confused but asked no further questions.
"If you guys are gonna be talking can you go somewhere else, I'm gonna read" Joy told her ex-best friend (Mara, this is what Joy refers to her as now) and her new posse.
"Ok, see you later Joy" Mara said, not noticing the bitterness in her voice and they left to go back downstairs.
"Alf, come talk to Trudy with me about our welcome back party" Jerome instructed and they left to talk to her in the kitchen.
"You don't think Joy felt a bit left out, do you?" Mara asked Amber nervously.
"No I don't think so, even if she did there's nothing we can do now. Anyway it doesn't matter, we have each other if Joy gets mad, and you have Jerome and the rest of Sibuna" Amber explained to the paranoid Mara.
"Do you wanna go for a walk?" Mara asked after nodding in agreement. "By the way thanks Amber I'm really glad we're friends again, I'm really glad you've forgiven me after everything with Mick"
"Mara it's forgotten, I have Alfie now so I don't need Mick and neither do you, you have Jerome. You don't need to worry what he thinks of you anymore" Amber explained, she really was much deeper than people gave her credit for, she did seem dumb on the exterior though. They walking through the wooded area, not deep though just slightly wooded – near Anubis house.
Meanwhile Jerome and Alfie were sitting in their room seeing as the girls had ditched them. 'Do you know where your girlfriends are? I do – RZ' was the text message that both Alfie and Jerome received and they both sat bolt upright – they had both been lying on their beds, chatting. They both bolted from the house in search of their girlfriends.
"Mara, Amber! Where are you?!" Jerome called loudly but there was no answer. 'I feel a lot closer to Amber and Mara than you two right now – RZ' another text, he was taunting them and he was close to them, that was not a good sign.
