So, I've been getting a lot of Jara requests. Here it is, people, the moment you've all been waiting for! And Jack, I forgot to answer this question before, but I don't think that I'm going to put Victor's dream in this story, it's too parody-ish. This story does have bits of humor, but it's not a parody, it's more serious. Maybe I'll make a parody later but not in this story. So here goes nothing! I DO NOT OWN!
Jerome's POV
I watched as Mara glared over at Mick and Leah, who were flirting with each other and feeding each other bits of food. I was happy that they had broken up, but Mara wasn't. I wish that she would look at what was right in front of her instead of looking at the past.
If she would just get over Mick, she would see me, always there in the sidelines while she went on-again off-again with that jockstrap.
This time, I would be making their breakup permanent, have no doubt about that.
Mara would be mine, like I was already hers, even though she didn't know it.
I gave an exaggerated sigh, trying to get Mara's attention. Apparently, she was too busy trying to burn holes in the back of Mick's head to pay me any attention. I sighed again and this time, Mara looked over at me.
"What's wrong Jerome?" she asked sweetly, which surprised me after she had just finished trying to kill Mick with her eyes.
"Nothing, really," I said. The truth was that I didn't really know what to say after getting her attention. I hadn't thought that far ahead.
"Tired or something?" she asked.
"Er, yeah, just exhausted from all that… homework," no, I'm tired of you going after Mick when the person who really loves you is right here.
She laughed, "Jerome Clarke, doing homework? That's new!"
"Heh, yeah, I was kidding, Alfie and I stayed up all night watching… zombie… movies…" no, I stayed up all night thinking of you, Mara Jaffray.
"That sounds a lot more likely" she laughed again.
"You got me there," I smiled at her.
Alfie and Amber came and sat down at our table. Eventually, the gang was all there, except Mick and Leah who were at another table.
This is going nowhere fast. I needed some help with this. Maybe I should ask Nina and/ or Fabian for some advice, since their relationship was turning out so well.
Later that day, when I got back to the house, all of the girls were gathered around the opening of the common room. I peeked in behind Mara's head, and saw that they were just spying on Nina and Fabian, who were cuddling on the couch. Wow. All of the girls apparently thought that this was adorable because they were cooing as silently as possible, trying not to ruin the moment. I rolled my eyes. Of course, because Anubis house's couple of the year could never have a moment of peace, Tim walked by and stopped.
"Oh, they're cuddling? I've heard that's some serious sh-"
"Shhh!" the girls cut him off.
I was trying not to laugh out loud, knowing that if I did that, I'd be the next victim. Why are all the new kids so weird?
Mara's POV
Jerome was acting really weird today. Actually, he's been acting weird around me a lot lately. Weird.
I felt weird too. Looking into his deep blue eyes, it was like something changed inside of me. It seemed like the world melted away in his eyes. I couldn't believe that Jerome Clarke would ever have this kind of effect on me, but there I was, feeling like Jerome was making the world dissolve around us. Why was this happening to me? What was going on in my subconscious?
I wasn't even sure anymore, how I felt. About Mick, about Jerome, even about that Leah girl. I was just so confused!
I reflected on everything about that conversation with Jerome, but all that I could remember was that feeling of melting in his blue, blue eyes. No, how was it possible?
I was in love with Jerome Clarke. I am in love with Jerome Clarke.
So, they didn't get together, but they did admit their feelings for each other. They'll confess later in the story . For those of you who have read and like the Hunger Games books, read my new fanfiction: Of Vengeance and Doubt. Thanks for reading! REVIEW!
