So this is the first installment A-E, some will be shorter than others, and none of them are related to another unless i say so. So I hope you enjoy =)

*Arithmetic*

Cindy sat in her desk working intently on an equation in her Calculus class. This particular equation was driving her insane. This had to be the third time she had attempted the equation, each previous time her teacher had told her she was incorrect. Finally after five more minutes of struggling, Cindy put her head down on her desk admitting defeat and never wanting to look at math ever again.

"You almost got it." She heard a voice say quietly next to her. She looked up to see Jimmy looking at her.

"What?" She replied looking back at him.

" You keep forgetting something."

"What could I be forgetting?" Cindy looked down at her paper searching for where she supposedly was forgetting something.

Instead of answering, Jimmy reached down and gently grabbed Cindy's hand that was still holding her pencil. He guided her hand over to the equation and put a little 2 next to an x indicating that the problem was squared. Cindy was too preoccupied with the tingly feeling that was spreading from her hand to her whole body to even recognize what he was doing. He had to bend over her to reach her paper causing her back to be pushed against his chest and his face only a centimeter away from hers. She could feel his breath ticking her cheek.

"See?" He asked her. Cindy regained focus and looked at the equation then turned her head so her face was facing his.

"Yea…I see" She barely whispered. She couldn't believe how close their faces were; she stared up into his blue eyes not being able to help the blush spreading to her face. He finally let go of her hand and looked away going back to his seat, but she could see the slight pink that was beginning to tint his cheeks. Cindy continued to smile to herself thinking that math wasn't so bad after all.

*Balloons*

She couldn't believe him. He forgot. He actually forgot her birthday and she was pissed. She thought maybe he was going to surprise her with a bouquet of flowers, or a teddy bear, even a card would have been nice. But no, he actually forgot. He didn't even say "Happy Birthday". How do you forget your own girlfriend's birthday she wondered. Cindy paced her room fuming at the thought of her forgetful asshole of a boyfriend.

Suddenly she heard the doorbell ring and trudged downstairs to answer it thinking it was probably her mom who forgot her key.

"Mom there's a reason we keep a key under the mat you kn—" She opened the door and stopped mid sentence when she was greeted with… balloons? There had to be about 20 pink and green balloons blocking her doorway.

"What the…" From the huge bundle of balloons out came a hand holding a card. Cindy curiously took the card.

Cindy,

I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.

-Jimmy

Cindy looked up when she heard shuffling and saw a sorry looking Jimmy maneuvering around the many balloons. She just looked at him and saw in his eyes how ashamed he was.

"Cindy. Look im sorry I—" She silenced him by lightly pressing her lips to his. She pulled away and whispered in ear.

"I forgive you."

"That's it?" Jimmy was perplexed. He thought he would have to resort to full on groveling, and if that didn't work begging on his knees for forgiveness. Cindy sighed and nodded.

"Yes that's it. But you better make it up to me Neutron." She said as she smirked at him.

"I can live with that. Happy Birthday Cindy" He smiled and leaned in to get another kiss from the birthday girl.

*Complicated*

When she was sure he was asleep, Cindy as quietly as she could untangled herself from the bed sheets; trying her best not to wake the guy that had been lying next to her. She tip toed around his dimly lit room trying to find her clothes that had been scattered earlier, putting on each article of clothing as she went. She saw the red digital numbers of his clock read out 2:38 am and cursed to herself thinking that she was going to have to come up with some excuse for why she was out so damn late.

Cindy finally found her bra which was hanging limply off the side of his computer chair and quickly put it on, hastily grabbing her shirt and pulling it over her messy blonde locks. She ran her hand through her hair but failed to fix the mess. Between her hair and smudged make up, if anyone saw her there would be no doubt to what they had just been doing.

She picked up her shoes and walked to the door slowly opening it. She glanced back at his sleeping form, noting the rise and fall of his bare chest as he breathed. She had to make herself turn away and walk out the door before she changed her mind and crawled back into his bed and into his arms. But she couldn't. Because she knew she couldn't allow herself to fully give in, and besides, they weren't actually together.

She also promised herself that the last time would indeed be the last, but now she couldn't lie to herself anymore, she was in too deep. She was getting attached. She had a feeling that Libby knew what was going on; Libby always knew everything. But she herself didn't even know how to describe what was going on. They had been doing this for almost a month and she still hadn't figured it out. When Libby would ask her to explain the longing glances and discreet touches between her and Jimmy she would just reply "It's complicated."

*Desire*

Desire can be a dangerous thing. It can drive you to act completely insane, reckless, and desperate. They knew what desire was. In fact it was consuming them. They had gotten to the point where they wanted each other so badly, they didn't even know how to act around each other anymore. What was their playful bickering before had turned into completely lashing out at each other. Their friends refused to be around the both of them at the same time because it only took about 5 seconds before it became World War 3.

This is why Cindy was at one end of the room and Jimmy was at the other. It was Libby's birthday party and she told them that neither of them was allowed to come if they were going to fight with each other. Libby knew that it was only time before one of them finally just confessed their feelings, but if that time didn't come soon she was going to end up killing both of them.

Cindy leaned against a wall downing her third drink pretending to listen to some jock talk about sports. It was the only thing that was keeping her from marching right up to that "ignorant, stuck up idiot" Neutron and giving him a piece of her mind...whatever that was. She figured that if she was going to be miserable she was going to get completely trashed. She slumped against the wall too pissed to care that her already short skirt was riding up, or that her tight and low cut shirt was leaving little to the imagination. She knew she looked like a slut, and that this guy was mostly staring at her chest. But she didn't care. She did it just to rub it in Neutron's face. Maybe she was intentionally trying to get him mad; maybe she just wanted him to notice her. Too bad he was too busy talking to some random girl she had never even seen before.

Damn, he knew just how to piss her off. She glared in his direction, wanting to rip that girl's hair out for flaunting herself to him; and he just let her. She was sick of this. When they weren't yelling at each other he acted like she didn't exist. Worst part was, she knew how ridiculously in love with him she was and she hated him for it. She saw the mystery girl whisper something to him, her lips grazing his ear. That was it. She had had it. She downed the rest of her drink in one big gulp and decided that she was going to get him to look at her one way or another.

-

Jimmy had seen Cindy standing their looking like she wanted to kill someone, some football player looking her up and down. Even though he was currently "flirting" with some nameless girl he wanted to punch the guy out for looking at Cindy like that. He hated that; when guys looked at Cindy like she was a piece of meat. While Jimmy pretended to agree with whatever this girl was saying he continued to look at Cindy out of his peripheral secretly seething. She was the only girl that could make him this angry. There she was, barely dressed allowing every guy to stare at her; and he could tell she was trying to get drunk. Jimmy knew they had been showing nothing but hostility to one another but he couldn't help but feel possessive of her. Every guy knew that Cindy was Jimmy's, so why was this moron all over her.

Jimmy wanted to get on her nerves, make her come and yell at him so he could have some interaction with her. That's why he wanted her to think he was flirting with someone else, it was just an attempt to get her attention and it seemed to be working. Jimmy unfocused from Cindy's direction when the girl in front of him went to whisper in his ear. He didn't even know what she was saying to him and he really didn't give a damn. When she pulled away from him, Jimmy looked over to where Cindy was to discover she wasn't there anymore. He wondered where she went until he saw a bunch of people crowded around a table. On top of this table Cindy was dancing, eyes closed, not even noticing the guys whistling at her. She had crossed the line.

Mumbling out a short apology, Jimmy stomped across the room, pushing through the crowd of people until he reached her. Without notice he grabbed her flinging her over his shoulder and led her outside, ignoring her kicks of protest.

One they were in the front yard he put her down.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM!" She yelled at him while adjusting her clothes.

"YOU ARE VORTEX!" he yelled back.

"OH REALLY? WHY IS THAT?"

"HAVE YOU SEEN YOURSELF? YOU'RE DRESSED LIKE A WHORE DANCING ON A TABLE LIKE SOME STRIPPER!"

"WELL DEAL WITH IT NUETRON! WHY DOES IT BOTHER YOU?" It seemed like their voices were just getting louder.

"IT DOESN'T. IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO THINK YOU'RE A SKANK THEN FINE. GO AHEAD .YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB SO FAR."Cindy didn't want to look phased, but that part hurt. When she replied her voice had gone back down to her normal volume.

"Fine. At least I know I'm wanted for something." Jimmy's heart dropped, he didn't mean that. He just said it because he was mad. She went to turn away but he grabbed her arm.

"What." She said bluntly

"Don't you get it Vortex. Are you really that dense."

"Get what. I'm not a genius like you remember." He was sick of this battle.

"Ugh don't you understand Cindy. I want you." Cindy froze.

"I can't stand for you to parade around in some skimpy outfit. You're too good for that. Other guys don't see how smart, talented, and beautiful you are. They don't know you or care about you even a fraction of the way I do. You're just too blind to see it. You're the most amazing girl I've ever met, but you are acting like something less than you are." His hand let go of her arm and was brought up to hold her face in his hand.

"And I'm sorry. I've been a jerk. I've absolutely given you no reason to listen me with the way I've been acting. Just believe me when I say that no one wants you around more than I do."

Cindy wanted to cry. In fact she could feel herself choking back sobs. She shook her head. This couldn't be right.

"How…how can you say this? You have done nothing but make me feel like I mean nothing to you for weeks… and now.." she felt a tear escape her eyes. No she was not going to cry, even though she was confused and hurt she didn't want him to see her cry. Jimmy used his thumb to wipe away her tear. He sighed and put his forehead against hers.

"Please just believe me."

"How could I?" Jimmy took the other side of her face in his other hand and tenderly brought her lips to meet his own. It was a delicate kiss, soft, sweet. As their lips moved against one another, nothing else mattered anymore. The hell that had been the past weeks were quickly being forgotten. When the kiss deepened Jimmy wrapped his arm around her waist wanting her to be as close as possible. Cindy tangled her hand in his hair, her other on his neck and when she felt his tongue slide across hers she couldn't help but feel intoxicated. If she had any question about her feelings before, she was sure she was addicted to him now. Even though she didn't want to, Cindy was the one to pull her face away.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"It's not fair." He looked at her with a questioning expression. Her lips formed a small smile.

"How you can do that and I suddenly don't feel mad anymore." He laughed.

"Then maybe I should do this more often." For the first time in ages Cindy was feeling happy enough to want to laugh, but she wasn't magically healed.

" We still have a lot to discuss…" she told him her face becoming a little more serious.

" I know…" he told her " but this is a start". She nodded, feeling content enough knowing that they would figure things out eventually. She laid her head on his shoulder and he caressed her back. Both of them completely oblivious to everyone at the party glued to the windows, having witnessed the whole scene.

*Eagles*

Cindy sat on the couch in their apartment, thoroughly absorbed in a book she was reading. While she was in the middle of a sentence she felt something cold being placed on her neck. Wanting to discover where it was coming from she let her eyes wander from her book down to her neck. Her eyes saw a gold chain containing a small charm shaped like an eagle. Puzzled, Cindy leaned her head on the back of the couch looking up to see Jimmy standing behind the couch.

"What's this?" She asked him. He bent over and leaned his forearms on the back of the couch in order to be closer to her level.

"It's an eagle." She rolled her eyes at him.

"Yes I know that smart one. I mean what's it for?"

"No reason, can't a guy give his girlfriend presents."

"Maybe a normal guy, but you? I don't know about that. Is there something you want?"

"Nope."

"Hmmm…well why an eagle?"

"Why not?"

"Jimmy."

"Because…you're my eagle." Cindy raised an eyebrow at him.

"Are you trying to say I look like a bird?"

"Of course not Cin."

"Then why????" Jimmy moved so that his face was hovering over Cindy's, their noses slightly brushing."

"Because..." he paused "eagles mate for life." He smiled at her before walking away. Cindy held the little eagle between her fingers smiling down at it. Jimmy didn't always know the right thing to say, but Cindy had to admit sometimes she was surprised at how sweet he could be.

There it is, review pleasee =)
