Disclaimer: I do not own HOA, but if I did then I probably wouldn't dislike the character of Mara...as much.
Perspective Parents Day
The booths were all set up and the parents were flooding in, Mr. Winkler made me handle one of the booths against my will. I had the sports scholarships booth, where I bounced a soccer/football between my knee and foot.
"Nice moves meat-head."
"I doubt you could do better hot shot."
Jerome leaned on the table and began tipping it over.
"Jerome!" I yelled grabbing the other end of table too late.
The table flipped over on Jerome and I face-palmed, picking the table up off of him. Everyone laughed as Jerome stood and I watched him stumble back and forth trying to find his balance. I bent down and picked up the pamphlets putting them back were they belonged. Jerome walked away like nothing happened, I shook my head and went back to bouncing the ball.
"How's it going?" Mick asked, leaning forward.
"Hands off the table," I warned, "It's been tipped over already."
He lifted his hands in defense and I answered his question, "Boring, what about you?"
"Same, Mara's at my booth."
"Come on Mick, I know your mad at her, but she was trying to help."
He looked at me, "Okay I get it you don't wanna talk about it. Come on your blocking my booth."
Mick moved behind the table and we talked about going for a run later.
"So, what's going on with you and Jerome?" Mick finally piped up.
"What?"
"Are you two together or what?"
"I guess so. Wait why?"
"Just wondering."
"Okay..."
I patted him on the back and grabbed an apple from my bag handing it to him. He smiled and nodded, taking a bite out of it, I grabbed an apple for myself and took a bite, leaning against the lockers behind me. Mick returned to his booth and I didn't see him afterwards. The fire alarm went off, too loud for me to handle, I gripped my head with my hands covering my ears, as everyone left. When the alarm finally stopped, a sigh of relief escaped my lips. After the parents left, I went back to the house, sitting down after a long day of standing. I changed into my pajamas and went to bed early, dead tired.
