Ok here is the chapter.
Today was Saturday the day when everyone was going to the ice skating rink. Mara stood in front of the mirror, examining her outfit. She was wearing a maroon circle skirt with black stockings she also had on her favourite white knitted sweater with a maroon scarf and some boots that she would have to take off to put her skates on.
Her hair had been put into a side french braid by Joy and she just had a maroon beanie over the top. She had barely got any sleep the night before because she was too busy worrying about Jerome, and about Joy's revenge plan.
She heard Joy calling for her saying that the bus was ready to to take the seniors to the rink. She quickly grabbed her jacket and left the room and ran down the stairs. When she got there Joy dragged her to the rest of the residents "Come on" Joy said. Trudy started going through all the rules, I was looking around when she saw that Jerome was just behind her to her right and he was staring at her with loving eyes.
Jerome quickly noticed that Mara had caught him, so he looked away and blushed profusely. Mara looked down and bit her lip, she couldn't help but smile like an idiot. Suddenly Joy popped up in her head and her smile faded, she couldn't betray her best friend.
She didn't realise that Trudy had finished going through the rules, because she was so deep in thought. Eventually Joy had to snap her out of it "Mara come on let's go". They got onto the bus, Nina and Fabian sitting together, Patricia and Eddie sitting together, Mara and Joy sitting together, Alfie,Willow and Jerome sat at the back and KT sitting all alone in her own seat. A few students from the other houses were on the same bus.
When they finally arrived, the students hopped off the bus and went inside. They were the last of the buses to arrive, so they all lined up to collect their skates. All of the skates were new, white and shiny, soon everyone got theirs and they went to sit down and put them on.
Jerome was the first to put his on, so he was ready to walk out there. Jerome had always been good at skating, it just came natural to him so he had no trouble getting onto the rink.
For Mara it was a different story, again skating went onto the very long list of physical things she couldn't do. She slowly walked over to the edge, not once letting go of the wall, she soon had to let go of the wall so she could get onto the ice.
She took a few steps and relaxed a little, but on her 5th step she slipped and started to fall, she closed her eyes and braced for impact, but instead of slamming her face into the ice, she felt a strong pair of arms catch her.
She slowly looked up and saw those beautiful piercing blue eyes that she loved, "Hi" she squeaked out, "You never were the best at skating, I remember our third date" he replies. She starts to remember that day, she and Jerome had only been going out for 3 weeks at the time.
For what feels like forever they just stare at each other, when they hear someone behind them say "Looking cozy there" They both turn their heads and see Joy standing there with her arms crossed. Mara quickly pushed Jerome of her, but then quickly grabbed him again when she lost her balance again, "Hey Joy, don't get any ideas, I just fell and Jerome caught me. Well thanks Jerome bye" she hobbled over to Joy.
"What was that" Joy said, with slight betrayal in her eyes. Mara had to think of something fast, she hated lying to her best friend, but it would hurt Joy more if she knew the truth. "Duh, it's part of the plan, if I make it look like I'm interested in him and then go make him jealous by being with Oliver, it will hurt him more" she lied through her teeth.
"Wow, you are good" Joy said sounding impressed, Mara faked a smile and when Joy wasn't looking, she looked over her shoulder and saw Jerome sitting on his own, obviously bored because he has no one to skate with, because Alfie is skating with Willow. Mara sighed, she didn't want to go skating with Joy or Oliver, she wanted to go skating with Jerome.
Suddenly her phone beeped, it was Oliver, apparently he was sick so he couldn't make it. Mara felt a small bit of the weight in her chest lift.
"This is so much fun" said Nina as Fabian spun her around, "I know" he replied. Fabian turned and saw Jerome sitting there on his own "Poor Jerome" Fabian said, Nina looked to where Fabian was looking. "Poor Jerome, what about poor Joy and Mara" Nina said, not really caring about Jerome because of what he did.
"Well it's not his fault, you can't help who you fall for, and for him he was unlucky because he fell for the girl he took for granted" Fabian replied "Look I'm gonna go get Alfie to cheer him up, and if you truly love me you will take care of Willow while I'm with Alfie" Fabian begged.
Nina was reluctant at first, but one look into Fabians gorgeous pleading eyes, she agreed.
Fabian and Nina skated over to Willow and Alfie who were sat at one of the booths having a competition of who could fit the most pizza in their mouths.
"Alfie can I talk to you" Fabian said to Alfie over the wall between the booth and the rink, "I wam kindwa busa rat no" Alfie said through the pizza in his mouth. "It's kind of important" Fabian said looking at him seriously, Alfie chewed everything up quickly, Fabian had never seen such speed. "Willow do you mind?" Alfie asked his girlfriend, "Not at all" Willow replied, "Ok come on Fabian"
Fabian skated over to the the small gate where you step into the rink, while Nina and Willow went to see Mara and Joy. "So what is it?" Alfie asked, Fabian pointed over to where Jerome sat all mopey, Alfie then realised why Fabian needed him. "I'm gonna go over and cheer him up" Alfie said, "Thanks for letting me know" and Alfie walked off.
Alfie walked and sat on the other side of the booth to face Jerome, "Ok what's wrong, you usually love skating" he said. "Oh you know ex-girlfriends and mixed signals" Jerome sighed, "Look forget about all that, let's go have some fun" Alfie said standing up. "What about Willow?" Jerome said, "It's okay, she is hanging with the other girls" he replied.
"Okay what's the harm in having some fun" so he and Alfie went to go do some mischief.
