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 because she has not 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 five year-old child. In season two she went to see his dad who was in jail with him. 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. In the Season 2 finale, Jerome says, "Mara, will you please, please, please go out with me?" Then Mara says, "Yes," softly and they kiss, hinting a new relationship in season 3 and also signifies the end of Mickra.
