Hello! Ummm... I don't know what to say. This is my first fic, and yeah, the prologue kinda sucks, but the actual story is gonna be (I hope) pretty good. Anyway, Enjoy!
Who was that shape in the shadows? Whose is THeFaCeiNTHeMaSK?
It Just Delays It For A Little While
"For the last time, Vortex, Austrailia is a country!"
"It's a continent, Nerdtron! Jeez, you'd think a head that size would house a brain large enough to comprehend that!"
As usual, Cindy and Jimmy were arguing over nothing important. What had begun as simple chit-chat was now a battle of the brains.
"Why don't you grow up Vortex!" Jimmy shouted at her. "Why do you have to twist everything into an argument?"
Cindy had had enough. "Oh go bother someone who cares!" Fuming, she left as Jimmy shouted a last retort.
"Maybe I will!"
That was the last time she saw him.
The next day at school, Jimmy was nowhere to be seen. Cindy was a little dissappointed, as she had been looking forward to smite him with a few new comebacks she thought of. It was her daily enjoyment. During recess, Cindy found Sheen, Carl, and Libby sitting together gloomily. "How's it going?"
"You seem really depressed..." Libby commented sarcastically. "Don't you know how boring life is gonna be from now on? You're acting like you're not even gonna miss him!"
Cindy's face expressed her confusion. "What're you talking about? Who don't I miss?"
"Jimmy!" Libby stared at her best friend. If Cindy cared like Libby thought, then why wasn't she at home crying her eyes out?
"Why would I miss him. He missed school today- big deal."
Sheen looked up at the blonde girl. "I can't believe he didn't tell you. He made a big deal out of telling you."
Cindy's frustration increased by the second. "Look, Ultra-Nerd, hurry up and spit it out. I don't wanna waste my life waiting on you to tell me."
Carl finally shouted "Jimmy's gone! He moved to Louisiana!" Within five seconds, Cindy's world collapsed. Moved- to Louisiana? Why? When did he find out? Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't he say goodbye? All sorts of questions swirled through her brain. Her tummy lurched forward and her face whitened. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Sheen watched Cindy intently. "Cindy, you look like your gonna hurl. You okay?" He tried to offer a comforting smile, but the girl couldn't handle it. Of course, she couldn't let everyone see her defeated.
"I'm fine, really. Tell me why I shouldn't be." Cindy's voice shook and she could hardly keep the tears from lining in her eyes. Then it hit her- Jimmy did try to tell her, but she started that stupid arguement. She took a shuddering breath and nodded to the group. Libby noticed her uneven breathing and worried for her.
"You sure you're okay?" But Cindy wasn't listening. She was too concerned with what she did to Jimmy. Why couldn't I just let him talk? I should've just shut up and listened. Now he's gone- maybe forever. I don't even have a way to keep in touch with him. He'll remember me as the girl who told him to go away! Cindy couldn't stay there any longer. "E-excuse me."
She turned and left and let her tears fall. She screwed up utterly. And the worst part was... she could never apologize. She could never earn his forgiveness. The one boy she ever truly liked, maybe even loved, was gone.
