It finally happened. Mallord Motors closed down and Jimmy and his family all move across the country. Jimmy had left at the beginning of eighth grade. He had held a big going away party at his lab, and Carl, Sheen, Libby, and half of his school friends were there.
He was very upset when Cindy never showed up. In fact, ever since he told her in Mid August that he was moving, it felt like she was avoiding him. Him and Cindy had become best friends mid 6th grade while working on a project together.
Anyway, he moved back in September before school started, and now it was early December, and he hasn't heard from Cindy since. But it wasn't like he was completely out of contact with his old friends. He had called Sheen and Carl up a few weeks ago.
Sheen and Libby had gotten back together and Carl had finally asked Agnus(the girl he had been crushing on for months) out.
When Jimmy had asked about Cindy, they both grew awkward and tense. They told him how she hasn't been the same since he left. Without him, there was no one to compete with in school anymore, so she had stopped trying, and she had become a D average Student.
She still sat at there lunch table with all their friends, but she never ate, and she rarely spoke.
Jimmy's heart sunk when he had heard this news. She was throwing her life away. She had so much potential...
Anyway, he knew he had to get a hold of Cindy, and try to see what was going on with her. She never answers her calls, and she didn't have a Facebook, so he decided to get a hold of her the only other way he could; he decided to write her a letter.
Dear Cindy,
How have you been? I know we didn't leave on the best of terms... But i have to admit, I've kind of missed you, Vortex. School is easy here, and I've already finished my homework for the year(my place of residence may have trained but I'm still, as you call me, Nerdtron).
People in Retroville had gotten used to my genius, and once you stopped teasing me, everyone else did. But here, im fresh meat, and everyone is a starving shark. Its worse then it ever was back home. Im bullied alot, the bullies break my inventions and beat me up, but it's okay. Im used to it by now.
Well Cindy, I have to go... Here my recent school picture. Like my hair? Decided that i should get a new look for a new place. Hope you like it!
Sincerely, Jimmy
I walked outside in the cold, December Snow, and dropped the letter in the Mailbox.
Now, I wait.
