Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

Jerome chuckles evilly as he speed walks down the halls, a folded note in his hand. The note was a fake love letter to his brother, it reads,

Dear Jeremiah...
Roses are red, violets are blue, I fell in love and you can too. Your lips are rosy red, there's a tingle in my head. Whenever I see you, my heart beats fast, I zone out. You're truly beautiful, one day I hope you notice me.
Sincerely- annyomace ♡︎

Jerome is known for writing fake love notes and giving them to people. Sometimes it goes on for months, writing little fake notes to the same person and have them believe someone actually loves him. Some people end up believing the notes he writes, he's overheard many people talking to their friends about it and the next day Jerome leaves a note in their locker that says- you just got pranked. The dudes evil sometimes. Jerome giggles and slips the note into his brothers locker. He did some rhyming and even improved his handwriting just for the letter, he just hopes he spelt everything correctly. Jerome's locker is right next to his brothers. Jeremiah wanted his far, far away from his brothers but Jerome insisted his to be next to his brothers because, quote on quote, "if anyone attacks you, I know where you are and will beat their ass," true words spoken by Jerome himself. They've been attending Gotham High for a while now and no one has tried to beat up Jerome. Each year the two get lockers neck to each other, it's starting to really make Jeremiah mad. Jerome always slams his locker shut and sometimes his fingers get caught in it. Shit hurts.

Jerome opens his locker and takes off his bag and begins grabbing the stuff he needs. He looks over to see his brother walking down the hall to his locker. Jerome smiles widely and giggles quietly, he goes back to grabbing binders and textbooks for the first couple periods.

Jeremiah walks up to him and leans against the locker. "Mom was wondering where you were this morning," Jeremiah says. Jerome scoffs and slams his locker shut, he locks it and zips up his bag.

"Just wanted to get to school early," Jerome replies. He rather anywhere than home sometimes. The boys usually outside or hidden away in his room. But that's only when their mother is home and she isn't actually home often. She leaves a lot on weekends and sometimes weekdays she comes home drunk, sometimes with men as well. Jerome does his best to ignore her but he can't always escape each time she's home. She's his mother after all, he can't hide from her forever.

Jeremiah sighs and opens his locker. The note flutters down onto the ground, Miah looks at it and picks it up. He adjusts his glasses a bit and unfolds it, he starts reading it. As Jeremiah reads it and a light blush spreads across his cheeks. "What?" Jerome asks, pretending to not know what the note says.

"I-It's nothing," Jeremiah stutters. Jerome smirks and shakes his head, he starts chuckling. "You stuttered kiddo," Miah glares at Jerome as he calls him kiddo.

He hates how his brother calls him kiddo sometimes. They're twins, Jerome is exactly 59 seconds older than him so he's basically the baby brother. It doesn't help that Jerome is taller than him as well.

"Whatcha hiding broski?" Jerome asks and tries to lean over a bit to see the note. He loves acting around Jeremiah, it always confused the shit out of Miah, these days he doesn't know what's real and what's fake when it comes to Jerome.

Jeremiah folds the note back up and goes to put it in his pocket. Jerome quickly snatches the note out of his hand and unfolds it. Jeremiah blushes madly and tries swiping for it.

"Calm down baby bro, it's just a note," Jerome turns around so Miah can't grab the note. He giggles as he reads over the note, he hands it back to Jeremiah who is blushing madly and once again glaring at Jerome.

"Ain't that cute! Jeremiah has a secret admirer!" Jerome laughs more as Jeremiah starts tearing the note apart. He shoves the pieces into his pocket.

Jeremiah decides to ignore his idiotic brother and grab the stuff he needs for class. Jerome tries talking to him and Jeremiah continues to ignore him. "Come on bro- oh my god, what if it's Ecco?!" Jerome gasps to make it more dramatic. Ecco has always had a thing for Jeremiah, it's very noticeable and everyone can see it but the red head himself.

"It's not Ecco, she doesn't like me. Plus, she actually knows how to spell," Jerome's smile drops. He must've spelt a few words wrong in the note... whoops. It was probably the word anonymous. He never knew how to spell it and still doesn't know.

The bell rings and Miah shuts his locker. "I'll see you later Jerome. Please don't tell anyone about the note," Jeremiah begs. Jerome pretends you zip his mouth shut and lock it, he pretends to throw the key away. "Lips are sealed bro." He's so going to tell Ecco. The point of the prank is to embarrass Miah so he's going to do just that.

Jeremiah walks off to class, not wanting to deal with Jerome any longer. The other twin chuckles as he walks to class. Jerome has always disliked school, not because he's not exactly... the smartest, but because of the dipshits at school. Jerome has built his own reputation, he's known as the prankster, class clown and mostly a freak. Jerome can be violent at times, he doesn't care if he gets suspended or expelled, he knows he should care and Jeremiah is always reminding him to care as well. The red head just can't bring himself to care. Jerome is known as a freak for being different. He's loud, annoying, his pranks aren't exactly the funniest and he's just straight up weird. People are surprised he has friends. Jeremiah on the other hand is a nerd, he aces every test, most people go to him for answers and Miah being the good innocent boy that he is- always pushes them away. He had a really close friend until he found out they were just using him for answers so now he has stopped giving people answers. Jeremiah has a few friends, he's usually often alone with his one friend Ecco.

Ecco has always been there for Miah, through thick and thin. The girls in love with him but Jeremiah can't say the same.

Jerome walks into class to only see a few students. The students are gathered around a desk, talking to someone. Jerome gets closer and sees someone sitting at the desk. Today's the day they are suppose to be getting a new student, this kid must be it then.

The ginger walks up to the new kid, his eyes widen. Sat in the desk is the Bruce Wayne. Billionaire boy Bruce Wayne. Everybody knows about Bruce Wayne, if you live in Gotham and you don't know about him, you must be living under a rock.

Jerome goes to take a step closer, he stops as a group of girls start squealing and running towards him, shoving Jerome out of the way. He rolls his eyes and sits down in his spot, everyone is going to be all over Bruce because one, he's basically famous, two, he has good looks and three, he's rich. Who wouldn't want him? He's perfect.

Jerome pulls out his binder and pencil. Class starts and people quickly run in so they aren't late. Everyone sits in their assigned seats and the teacher does attendance.

"Alright class, as you can see, we have a new student. This is Bruce Wayne. Please be nice, some people can maybe give him a tour, just please help him out if he needs it," the teacher introduces Bruce and he waves at everyone shyly. Jerome turns around to see Bruce. He freezes in shock. He's beautiful.

Jerome's seen pictures of Bruce when he was younger, cute kid. But now- he's even more cute. Jerome's for sure going to talk to Bruce before the end of the day. Forget about Miah and Ecco, he has a new mission now.
