Moving Day
Chapter 1: The News
Jimmy woke up one morning and immediately knew that something was wrong. He had a strong premonition. He could not figure out why though. He got dressed and was about to get ready for school when he remembered that it was Saturday. Jimmy glanced at his alarm clock, which told him that it was 7:30 am.
That's weird; 7:30 is usually when I get up for school, not on the weekend. I usually sleep in on the weekend.
Jimmy, knowing that his parents wouldn't be up for a while, and with nothing else to do, decided to take a walk. He left his parents a note saying that he was up and that he was going out, and wouldn't be back for a while. As soon as he went out, he knew that it was going to be chilly, so he went back inside and grabbed his coat. When he reemerged into the chilly environment, he felt warm. He also noticed something for the first time that day; he noticed that it snowed.
Peculiar, it hasn't snowed since I blocked out the sun, and that was over a year ago.
Not knowing what else to do, he went to the Candy Bar, or, at least attempted to. Before he could take one-step, he heard a voice calling his name, a voice that made him cringe.
"Hey, Jimmy, where you going?" asked Sheen.
"Oh, hi Sheen, I was going to the Candy Bar to get something to eat. You in?" asked Jimmy.
"In, in what?" asked Sheen.
Jimmy rolled his eyes at Sheen and his stupidity.
"No Sheen, he means do you want to eat with him." said Carl.
"Oh, why didn't you say so? Ya, Jim, I'm in." said Sheen.
"So am I." said Carl.
Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen were about to head to the Candy Bar when they heard a voice, a voice that made Jimmy cringe, but for an entirely different reason.
"Where are you dorks going?" asked Cindy.
Cindy was no more that 10ft. away from them, with Libby at her side.
Carl and Sheen got angry at the remark, while Jimmy smiled, as he caught the sarcasm in Cindy's voice. Cindy smiled at Jimmy, while Libby explained to Carl and Sheen that Cindy was being sarcastic. Sheen, not knowing what sarcasm was, asked for an explanation. Libby tried her best to explain what sarcasm was to Sheen. While she was doing that, Jimmy and Cindy stood face-to-face. Within seconds, they were engaged in a passionate kiss. Before Sheen, Carl, and Libby could look at them, however, the kiss ended. Instead, when they looked at them, they were holding hands. Jimmy, trying to break the uncomfortable silence that recently formed and his friends' stares, suggested that all of them go to the Candy Bar and eat breakfast. They all agreed except Carl, who said that he already ate. When they went, however, he went with them, thinking that things were going to get interesting. Indeed, they did get interesting. First, they all talked small talk; they talked about school, friends, family, ECT. Then, they got interesting. At the exact same moment, unaware that the entire restaurant was watching them and eavesdropping, both Jimmy and Cindy admitted that they loved each other. They got a gasps from the restaurant. Angry that the restaurant was eavesdropping on them, Jimmy and Cindy, along with Libby, Carl, and Sheen left the Candy Bar. When they came up to their block, they saw on Jimmy's front yard a For Sale sign. Jimmy ran up to his father.
"What's going on?" asked Jimmy.
"Didn't I tell you?"
Jimmy shook his head no.
"Must have slipped my mind. Anyways, I got a promotion at work. So…that means were moving!"
With that both Jimmy and Cindy, who had been listening to the conversation, fainted.
