"Where does it come from? This quest, this need to solve life's mysteries when the simplest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. That's not human nature. Not the human heart. That is not why we are here."
—Mohinder
Mia Smith stood at her locker gathering books and folders and placing them neatly next to each other, she then looked closely in the mirror that was placed carefully on the door of the locker and began to roll her skirt up, finally, she looked up after messing about with her skirt and looked towards the mirror only to see Joy, Patricia and Fabian all giggling at her. Mia, rolling her eyes turned around shutting her locker with it. "Just because you don't roll your skirt up doesn't mean I can't," Mia pointed out. "It is a bit high though," joy said quietly making Mia come to a stop, " better!" she said laughing with her friends as she pulled her skirt down a little bit. "Anyway, joy look what came this morning?" Patricia exclaimed showing all of them, a tv box set of films. "Yes, BFF boxset marathon tonight?" she asked, to which all three of them said yes.
"Hold on," Mia said, walking away from her friends and making her way towards Jerome and Alfie she began laughing and listening in on Jerome as she saw him scamming someone out of his money. Again.
"Scamming kids out of their pocket money are we Jerome?" Mia teased seeing the colour drain from Jerome's face as he snatched the kids' money and told him to go away before walking away himself with Alfie. " hey where you going," mia called after him trying to piss him off even more.
"What do you want Mia?" Jerome asked desperately trying to escape the girl.
"Trying to annoy you, what does it look like," the girl said with a large smile crossing her face, " so are we still on for studying tonight?" The girl asked him
And Jerome started to hesitate, it was like all of a sudden it was like he didn't know how to speak so all that came out went along the lines of "I-uh-me-and-uh you," was all he could get out of his mouth before Alfie joined in sticking up for his best mate " ye he is just a bit tired is all." " oh ok, then bye," Mia said as she turned to walk a wave offering the boys a wave.
"I-uh-me-and-uh you," Alfie mimicked and for this Jerome smacked him on the arm which made Alfie wince a little bit. "Just tell Mia you like her," Alfie continued.
Jerome had always had a thing for Mia smith, the way her brown hair flowed past her shoulders, the way her smile would brighten anyone's day when she walked into the room, but he knew that would never happen as Jerome knew that Mia could never like him, so he stopped fussing about it and denied it to Alfie only for 10 minutes later for the poor boy to give up and just tell Alfie that he liked her but Jerome being Jerome made him swear that he wouldn't tell anyone. He was brought out of his trance when the bell went off signalling that French was starting and Mrs Andrews didn't tolerate anyone being late to her lesson.
She walked into the classroom and took a seat next to Amber and Jerome. Whilst Jerome muttering to himself about something that Mia couldn't hear Amber was on her phone talking to her father, something about shoes and to Mias's surprise the conversation was actually quite interesting that was until Mrs Andrews interrupted.
"Phone off amber," Mrs Andrews asked only to be ignored by amber, "but I've seen a really important pair of shoes," amber continued, turning off her phone when she saw her boyfriend mick walk through the room.
"Mick, your back," she exclaimed as mick through the football into the bin making all the other students laugh with him. Mia didn't mind mick, she thought he was a nice kid but he was a little bit weird, you know why, he liked sports. what type of weirdo likes sports, Mick, doing PE made Mia want to throw up, it was just so boring, other than that he was alright. mick came to a stop as Mrs Andrews had a look on her face that meant she wasn't happy that he was late.
" Sorry I'm late," mick said. "you might have changed first, just try not to perspire all over the paper," Mrs Andrews continued making mia confused by whatever she just said meant.
"Could he be any hotter," amber exclaimed turning around as she looked at her boyfriend, Mia smiled at her friend, she was happy for them of course she was but felt like something was wrong and that it wasn't going to end well for Amber, however, Mia had a feeling it was going to end well for mara. there was something about the way she looked at him, it was almost like she had a crush on him, like whoever would have a crush on mick, except for amber, of course, the thought.
Mia was brought back into the real world when she saw Alfie doing something with a small bottle of what looked to be fake blood. Mrs Andrews began stating how long they had to complete the paper when Alfie stood up to tell Mrs Andrews something " Mrs A?" Alfie asked trying not to laugh. "yes Alfie," she replied.
"Nose bleed, it's a gusher," Alfie lied.
"infirmary quickly," Mrs Andrews said whilst Aflie stood up and begin to exit the room, removing the fake nose bleed making everyone including Mia laugh but what made it even funnier was that he bumped into Mr sweet. " More haste, less speed," he said as Alfie walked past him.
"Sorry to interrupt Mrs Andrews, joy there's someone to see you in my office,?" he continued making all three of the girls look at each other with a look of confusion on their faces as joy stood up and began to leave the classroom grabbing her jacket with her.
"There she is!"Mia noticed Joy going outside and said loudly to the whole class. "Why is she getting in that car, where is she going, who is there," voices around the room echoed mainly from Patricia who was wondering where her best friend was going and a few more questions from mia. " she didn't look like she wanted to go," Mia said to Patricia as Mrs Andrews joined into the conversation, "everyone sits down, joy is fine she just has to stay with family for a while," Mrs Andrews said calming down the conversation as everyone in the room began to sit down and relax except for mia and Patricia who both knew there was something wrong.
After the lesson was over mia and Patricia left to find joy who currently was nowhere to be seen, spotting Jerome and Alfie they decided it would be a good idea to ask them if maybe they had seen joy. " what are they doing?" Patricia asked her best friend as they began walking towards the two idiots giggling at how stupid they were being, " being Jerome and Alfie," mia replied.
"Have you guys seen joy?" Patricia asked the two long with Mia asking as well " we can't find her anywhere?" finishing off Patricia's sentences only to be met with Alfie being silly mocking how tall she was.
"Yeah, just about this tall?" Jerome mocked laughing at the two girls in front of him " haha very funny," Patricia answered.
"look, Jerome, we don't have time for you to be cute, if you know where she is can you just tell us," Mia said not realizing what she said until after she had said it however she found it nice that after she had said that she said that Jerome stated to blush, which didn't happen to Jerome that often, anyway moving on, "maybe she's gone back to the house," Jerome suggested whilst scratching thew back of his head looking down in what seemed to be an embarrassment and it wasn't just Jerome that had been surprised at what Mia had said but also Patricia and Alfie who had a feeling something was going on that neither of them was telling each other.
"Come on Mia, let's find joy," Patricia said to Mia. "I can't Jerome's helping me study for the french test, that's actually what I came to talk to him about but then I completely forgot," Mia mumbled.
"That's now?" Jerome asked with a look that said " do we have to" " yeah in the library," mia said. " do we have to?" Jerome persuaded, "it's only an hour, now com on," mia said to a lay Jerome dragging him by the arm as they headed towards the library with Jerome being silly per usual shouting things like " Alfie help me" or " let me go". but that wasn't stopping mia as she was determined to get an A+ on this french test and surprisingly Jerome was good at french.
And something tells me it's only just the beginning.
