[DISCONTINUED] Perhaps A Perfect Match | Jerome Clarke x reader

Chapter seven

School was pretty boring, like usual. Nothing actually happened. I didn't have any lessons with Jerome but I had a few with Eddie and Fabian.

After school, Amber decided it'd be a good idea to drag me all the way up the stairs to our room and force me to try on the dress with what else I was gonna wear. She had her way. I took it off as soon as she had seen it and changed into comfortable clothes and we had an early dinner because of the dance.

After dinner, I was in my room packing my school bag for the next day when Jerome came in. "Hey, Y/N!" He said. "Hey." I said back. "So I wanted to ask you something." He began. "Sure, go on." I said to him, turning to face him. "Well, I was wondering if you'd...well go to the dance with me?" He asked. Sorry? Did I hear that right? "Jerome, I asked that we'd keep us a secret for now." I said, walking closer to him. "I know but I heard you didn't want to go so I thought that me asking you would make you want to." He said. "You're so sweet, Jerome but I'm not ready yet, sorry." I said with a sad smile and a quick hug. He understood and left to get ready.

Later on, Amber convinced me to wash out my hair dye. That's right, my black hair is dyed. I have light brown hair. Once I did, amber was already ready expect for her dress. So I let her put it on then I got into mine. Once we were dressed; "How do you want your hair?" She asked. "Err...I mean I don't really like it down-" I began to answer. "Let me stop you right there. I can do that hairstyle you used to like from that program you watched." She said. "Yeah!" I said rather happy like. She did my hair half up and half down and super smooth at the part where it's up in top.
(This is the only picture I could find. It's Bree from lab rats on Disney channel.)

I put on my black and gold boots which matched the belt that was on my dress.
"Are you bringing a jacket?" She asked me.
"Nah. I don't need one. It's quite warm out and we are indoors." I answered her. She just smiled and nodded and I back to her. I grabbed my phone and put it into the unnoticeable pockets on my dress then headed out onto the landing where the other girls were waiting.

We all walked down the stairs together, I was by the wall, out of sight until the bottom that was. Amber split and walked off with Alfie as did Patricia then Mara and Joy left together. Fabian had finally got the confidence to ask Nina to this dance so they left together. I left with Jerome, again.

"I never knew your hair was dyed." He said to me. "Yeah. Amber convinced me to wash it out." I said. "You should leave it like that now, it's beautiful." He said with a smile as we walked out the door. "Thanks..." I said in return.

Everyone looked great at the dance. It was such an amazing atmosphere. I sat on my own for ages because everyone had someone to dance with or talk to. I was very bored, this is why I didn't want to come, I knew this would happen. I saw Eddie talking to Patricia and then he walked over to me. "Hey! What you doing?" He asked. "Oh, you know, being extremely bored." I said plainly with a light snigger. "Right, I thought as much. Wanna dance with me?" He said then asked. "Sorry? Why aren't you dancing with Patricia?" I asked. "I asked her if I could dance with you cos you looked bored and slightly lonely." He said. "Right, that's nice of you both. So sure." I said.

I walked with Eddie to the floor where everyone was and we danced. It wasn't slow, just normal. "Your hair looks great in brown." He said. "It's my natural colour." I said with a laugh. "So the black was dye?" He asked. "Yeah. Everyone seems to think my natural hair is nicer." I said. He just nodded and we continued dancing. I could see Jerome out of the corner of my eye. He was watching us. Is he jealous? Haha.

After the song, Eddie went back to Patricia and I headed to the loo. On my way back, I got pulled into the closet next to the lockers. "Ah!" I slightly yelled. "Shush. It's just me." I familiar voice said. It was dark so I couldn't see. "Jerome?" I asked. "Yeah." He said then planted a kiss on my lips. He was warm. He must have waited in here a while. I pulled back. "What is this?" I asked. "I saw you dancing with Eddie and-" He began before I interrupted. "Then you got jealous and thought this would stop that?" I joked but with slight seriousness. He nodded and smirked. I laughed. He pressed his lips upon mine again.

Later in the evening, Jerome came up to me and Amber. "So, Y/N, want to dance?" He asked. After earlier, really? Amber squeezed my arm really tight. "Ow!" I said loudly. Amber looked at me with wide eyes as to tell me to say yes and Jerome looked at me confused as to why I said ow. I just nodded to Jerome. This dance had to be slow, didn't it? Great.

It wasn't long but I could feel people staring. Mostly people from anubis house but still. After we danced, I went to the loo again before it was time to go back to the house.

On the way back, I walked behind and slowly with Jerome. When we were near the house, he pulled me behind another building. "Omg! Stop doing that!" I said loudly. "Shush! Do you want to get caught?" He smirked. "No..." I trailed off as he looked into my eyes and kisses me once more with his hands on either side of my face.

Jerome's POV:
Kissing this girl sends fireworks off inside me. She's perfect. Nothing can ruin this, us, EVER!
