That Night
Jimmy and Cindy both lay on their own beds facing the ceiling, trying to fully understand what happened earlier that night. They had been too busy enjoying the moment of their kiss to realize Carl was calling for help. Luckily for him though, Libby happened to turn around with the intention of going back for him. However, before she could do the full 180, Cindy let go of Jimmy's hand. He gave her a raised eyebrow, while she avoided eye contact by looking towards the ground. Libby was able to snap the two out of their awkward moment without even noticing what she did. She motioned for them to go help Carl and they were able to get him out. Simultaneously, Sheen woke up at that moment. After all the events of the day passed, they all then walked home together.
Libby, Sheen, and then Carl all entered their houses as the group passed by them. Now it was only Jimmy and Cindy left as they stood on his side of the street. They were now standing in front of Jimmy's house. It was his turn to go home now, but for some reason they both stood on the sidewalk not moving. They looked at each other like they were waiting for the other to speak.
Finally, Cindy broke the silence, "Well… goodnight Neutron"
She turned her back to Jimmy, getting ready to cross the street and just as she began to cross he grabbed her arm.
"Hold on Cindy. I need to ask you something,"
"Alright make it fast I need to get home."
"Why did you…" Jimmy began reluctantly, "…not look both ways before crossing? "
"What?" She responded with a confused look.
"You're supposed to look left and right before you cross the street. Don't you know that?" he said with an agitated tone.
"I did look nerdtron! Besides this street is never busy anyway"
"Well I didn't see you look!"
"You don't have to see me. As long as I know I checked then that's all that matters."
"Fine! Go ahead and cross the street then!"
"Fine! I will" Cindy yelled out as she had the final words and stormed off.
