Jara

Jara (J/erome and M/ara) is the friendship/romantic pairing of Mara Jaffray and Jerome Clarke. It is revealed that Jerome has strong feelings for Mara in season 1. Jerome asks her out but she turns him down due to not having solved "the whole Mick equation." Jerome told Mara a lot of things about his past, which seems to be a subject he likes to avoid with others... which also means that he trusts her to keep it a secret. He also told her how his parents left him to 'rot' there when he was a child. Later, in season 2, they pretended to date in order to make Mick jealous. Jerome and Mara also kiss twice during that time. But, their fake relationship comes to an end when Mara decides to try a long-distance relationship with Mick.

When Mara and Mick break up, Mara is shown to be practicing how to tell Jerome that she has feelings for him while he was kidnapped by Rufus after reading her message. Towards the end of the season finale, after Jerome's father is released from prison and Jerome asks Mara out. She says yes. This was foreseen, as she was always there for him in the second season and it was known that Jerome had a crush on Mara. Mick is seen in the background frustrated at the sight of Jerome and Mara kissing, but is led to the food table by Alfie.

Rivals: Mickra, Patrome, Jamber, Nerome, and Meddie.

This pairing is rarely known as Marome (Ma/ra and Je/rome), Jera (Je/rome and Ma/ra)
