I woke up and saw one of the guys, Fabian, sitting in a chair next to me. I pretended not to see him. Why was he in here? What was I to him? We had only just met! I sat up and rubbed the tired out my eyes. Then I shook my head, so my hair would fall over my shoulders the right way.
"Hey... You o.k?" he shyly asked. This was weird, I had only seen pictures of all Jerome's friends, and seen them in person once or twice. This was diffeerent. We weren't too close but we were alone, so there wasn't really anything else to focus on but him. His eyes were a deep, dark blue, and his hair a dark brown. His cheeks were tinted a light pink, as were mine most likely, and his eyesa were filled with concern. I only just met him... He seems trustworty.
"Uhh... Yeah." I replied rubbing my head in confusion.
"Cool... So what really happened... If you don't mind telling me. I know I realize we just met and whatnot but Jerome wouldn't tell us and the curiosity is eating me alive." So he doesn't care? Is he just here for gossip? Let's see.
"Oh, um me and Jerome got into a little... Arguement."
"Yeah, it was pretty loud." So I told my story. He listened. He nodded. He understanded. When I got to the part about Josh, his eyes looked saddened, but I shook it off and continued it off as nothing.
"Wow, that's not good. Are you snd Jerome cool now?"
"Yeah, I think so. Do you mind keeping this conversation between the 2 of us?"
"No, not at all! I can do that!" he replied.
"Thanks..." I thanked him, and kissed his cheek. Yeah! Just made a new friend! I got up to walk out the door when he grabbed my arm.
"What was that for?" he asked, obviously confused as ever.
"You listened to my problems, and I needed that. You were kind, and that was thank you."
"Oh, o.k. then." he said obviously understanding. WE got up and walked out the door.
"Crap, forgot my phone. I'll be back, you go downstairs. I'll catch up." I turned around, and walked back up the stairs and ran into my room. When I cam back out, phone in hand, I was pulled into Mara, Patricia, and Joy's room. I looked around and turned on the lights. Joy was right in front of me, and she looked angry. Jesus! Angry at 10:00 a.m.!
"What do y-" I asked
"I want you to stay away from Fabian." Joy replied. Jerome calls me a snarky bitch...
"Joy, leave me alone. I don't need your comments. I do as I please."
"No you don't... I'm the head here, so leave me alone."
"Sure you are." I replied, and left the room leaving a pissy Joy alone.
"There you are. Want to go to town? All of us are." said Fabian as I walked downstairs to see the group cluttered at the door.
"I want to go to town!" we heard from up the stairs. We looked up and saw Joy coming down the stairs. She walked straight up to Fabian, and grabbed his arm and giggled like a school girl. Well... I guess she is, but still! She gave me a look, and I put my hands on my hips and raised my eyebrows, and shook my head like I always do when I'm about to hit someone.
"Nina?" Jerome asked.
"Yes?" I directed my attention towards him.
"Come here a minute..." He gestured for me to come, and we went into the boy's corridor hallway. "Who are you about to hit?" he asked.
"Joy..." I spat her name like a piece of old gum off the sidewalk.
"Elaborate please." he was pushing for me to talk.
"Well she pulls me into her room after I wake up, because I was talking to Fabian about our arguement. Then she says to stay away from Fabian, and I got... Sassy, and now she comes downstairs and starts flirting, and she gave me a look!"
"Oh my gosh Nina, just get revenge! All day today! We're going to town, right!"
"Yeah! You're so right! That's one of the useful things you taught me! Thanks Jerome!" I got on my tip toes, and hugged him.
Then we walked out, and piled into the van. With me Joy, and Amber in the trunk, Fabian driving, Mick in the passenger seat, Jerome and Alfie in the middle seats, and Patricia and Mara in the back seats. This is gonna be good.
