Hey guys, first I want to thank GMWfan23 for reviewing its great that you're enjoying the story. Anyway without further adieu here is Chapter 7
"Morning Joybells" Jerome said sitting down, "Hey, hope you had a good time last thinking about Mara last night on our date" Joy glared at Jerome, "What" he asked confused, "Don't deny it slimeball, Joy heard you and Alfie talking last night" Patricia eyes looked like they were about to shoot daggers at him.
Jerome looked straight at Mara, but all Mara did is put her head down not daring to meet his eyes. "Joy I-" Jerome started "No, save it, guess now you're about to finally get what you wanted, we are over!" Joy yelled on the verge of tears, she stormed out of the room.
"Joy wait" Jerome was just about to go after her, but Mara stopped him. "No" she stated firmly "You are going to stay well away from Joy, I think you've hurt her enough". Mara started to move slowly towards Jerome, "Did that letter you gave her mean nothing to you, you meant the world to her and I personally am going to make sure you never hurt my best friend again" she finished.
Then to finish it off she did the one thing everyone thought she would never do. She reached across the table, grabbed the jug of orange juice and and threw it all over Jerome, and with that she stormed out of the room going to find Joy.
Everyone just sat there, silence filling the room at the shock of what just happened. Jerome slowly sat down and put his head in his hands, he felt sticky and wet, but he didn't care. "I've really messed things up, haven't I" he asked Alfie "I'm afraid so" Alfie replied.
"Joy come on he's not worth it" Mara said trying to comfort her friend. Mara felt extremely guilty, not just because she was part of the reason Joy and Jerome broke up, but because a tiny part of her was happy that Jerome liked her
Soon all the other girls came up, "Hey Joy, did Mara tell you what happened downstairs after you left" Patricia asked her friend as she sat on Joy's bed. "No what happened" Joy asked curious as to what she missed.
"We really don't need to tell her do we" Mara asked, not really wanting everyone to know what she had done. "Yes we do. Anyway after you ran off, Jerome tried to follow you but Mara stopped him and and basically told him to stay away from you and that she will do anything to stop him from hurting you" Patricia began "Then you won't believe what she did next, she reached across the table and grabbed the orange juice and threw it at him" she started laughing.
"Wait, are we talking about the same Mara" said Joy absolutely shocked at what she just heard. "Thanks you are the bestest friend" Joy thanked her friend and hugged her. "No need to thank me, I actually rather enjoyed" Mara replied and they all burst out laughing.
"Can you believe what Jerome did to Joy" asked Nina, as she and Fabian walked to school together. "I don't know it seems like a very Jerome thing to do" replied Fabian.
"I guess" Nina said, Nina didn't know why but she asked "Would you do that to me", "Of course not I love you too much" He replied.
Nina reached up and kissed him passionately, "I love you too"
Joy, Mara and Patricia were walking down the hallway to class, "So I was thinking" started Joy, "and I was wondering you guys wanted to do something this afternoon. I feel like we never get to hang out just the three of us anymore"
Patricia panicked, she had a date with Eddie this afternoon, but she didn't want to tell Joy incase it upset her. "I uh-uh um…" she started, "Patricia here actually has a date, I bet she just didn't want to mention anything to you incase you got upset" Mara interrupted.
"Patricia, It's ok, go on your date with Eddie, but only if you let me help you get ready" replied Joy, "Ok sure" Patricia answered. "Yay this afternoon we need to make you look so good that you will knock Eddie's socks off" Joy said, getting excited.
"Whats this about knocking my socks off, it would have anything to do with our date this afternoon, would it Yacker" They turned around and saw Eddie standing there " You wish slimeball" scoffed Patricia.
Sorry it's so short but it's late right now and I am super tired. Anyway so the peddie date will be in the next chapter. Did you guys like how Mara dealt with things, leave your review. Bye kisses
