An 18 year-old Cindy Vortex was sitting at her computer finishing up writing her book report on The Oddessy for class the next day. She typed in the last sentence and pressed the SAVE button just as she got an IM from her best friend Libby Folfax.

"Hey girl! How's you're book report coming?"

Cindy pressed the reply button and typed quickly:

"I'm printing it out right now. How about yours?"

Cindy pressed the ENTER button and waited impatiently for a reply. The computer beeped as a sign that she had received another message. She sat up in her chair, read, and replied.

"It's fine. Just it says on the prompt that we were supposed to say in the report what we liked about the book."

"So?" Cindy replied.

"So, I didn't like the book!"

"Make something up. It's easy. What did you read?"

"Gone With The Wind."

"You didn't like that book?! I loved it! Ok, just say that you liked the relationship between Scarlett and Rhett and how you feared that they would never get together."

"Whatever girl."

"I'd better leave you to your work."

"See ya tomorrow."

"Night. Don't let the Sheen bugs bite!"

Cindy yawned and stretched her arms above her blonde head. She had changed a lot since elementary school. First, her hair had gone from light blonde to a deeper dirty blonde that matched her skin nicely. She also grew to a dominating height of 5'10. Her little-boy like body had grown into one of a young woman, eager to start life.

Cindy reached down and switched off the computer and its screen went blank. She stood up from her chair and made her way to her bathroom to get ready for bed.

After Cindy had taken her shower, gotten into her Pjs, and brushed her hair and teeth she sat down on her bed and grabbed her red with little gold hearted diary and blue pen and began to record the days events.

Dear Diary,

Today I saw Neutron with his deep blue shirt on; you know the one that accents his eyes! He looked so great! Also, I caught him looking at me three times in class this morning. He's so great! Too bad he won't ask me out or anything. Big sigh Maybe I'm destined to be alone my whole life. Oh well.

Cindy closed her diary and threw it onto the foot of her bed. She gently placed the pen on her nightstand next to her lamp and reached up and turned the lamp off. She scooched herself down under the covers and closed her eyes.

"Aah, goodnight." She said to no one in particular and then quietly fell asleep.

Later that night:

Cindy lay sleeping peacefully on her back when she felt a cold draft of air flow under the blankets. She subconsciously rolled over onto her side and pulled up the covers. On the end of her bed sat her diary, which fell, off when Cindy rolled over. It fell down into Cindy's open backpack.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Cindy threw her hand at the alarm's button and the atrocious sound ceased. She opened one eye to peek at the little, red numbers on the digital clock's face.

6:30 A. M.

Cindy opened both of her eyes and felt a feeling of nervousness on the pit of her stomach. She threw the blankets off of her body and shivered in the cold morning air in contrast to the warm blankets. She sat up and jumped to her closet to get her clothes for the day. Her heart raced for she knew she was late.

"Honey! 10 minutes till the bus gets here!" Cindy heard her mother yell from the bottom of the stairs.

"Ok Ma!" Cindy yelled as she pulled on her jeans.

Cindy ran to her bathroom now in her clothes and pulled her hair up into a quick ponytail. She applied a little mascara, eyeshadow, eyeliner, and blush and then hurried to brush her teeth. She scrubbed them mercilessly then rinsed out her mouth.

Cindy grabbed her backpack (unaware of her diary that sat inside, holding on for dear life, hypothetically) and ran out of her bedroom door and met her parents in the kitchen. She grabbed a piece of buttered toast out of her fathers hand and put it in her mouth as she flew out the front door grabbing her coat on the way out.

"Uhh," was all that Mr. Vortex could get out as a protest before his daughter left.

Cindy got to the bus stop at the end of her street just as the bus was pulling away.

"NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!!" Cindy cried to the heavens with her hands balled into fists, falling to her knees, in the middle of the street.

She was wiping the dirt off of her knees after she stood up when she saw her favorite genius flying by in his hovercar.

Cindy wasn't the only one who had changed in the last eight years. Jimmy had changed as well. He had a muscular body with a smile that could make Mr. America jealous. He had also replaced the hair with a shorter look that was combed to the front so that his bangs would fall into his eyes. He had also grown to an astonishing 6'3, towering over most of the other kids in his class.

Jimmy spotted Cindy grumpy and disheveled with black stains on her knees from the asphalt. She wore an unhappy look on her face as she looked up at Jimmy with her piercing green eyes.

Jimmy chuckled to himself while he lightly pressed on the brake of his hovercar. It pulled to a stop and he looked over the side and called for Cindy.

"Looks like you need a ride." He said with a smirk.

"Thanks, but no thanks." She said, malice marinated in her voice. She looked ahead of her and started walking. Jimmy looked at her with a look of concern on his face. He eased on the gas-pedal and accelerated forward going at a steady pace that matched Cindy's.

"Come on. You know as well as I do that the school is three miles from here. You'll never make it in time and you know that you can't be late and ruin your precious perfect attendance record. So how about that ride?" Jimmy flashed one of his award-winning smiles that made Cindy go weak at the knees.

She looked up at him smiling kindly and offering his help and she couldn't refuse him twice.

She sighed, "ok, I'll come. Just get to school fast and park around the side of the school so that no one sees us."

"Fine with me. Hop in." Jimmy lowered the craft to the ground and reached out a hand to help Cindy into the car. She grabbed it and climbed in and ungracefully fell to the ground, spilling her backpack out onto the floor. She quickly corrected herself and soon started picking up her things. As she was picking up her science notebook she felt the hovercar leave the ground and begin moving in the direction of the school.

Unbeknownst to Cindy her diary fell out of her backpack and slid under Jimmy's seat.

Cindy collected all of her things and sat down in a chair at the back at the vehicle. She breathed deeply as the hovercar pulled to a stop out side the side of Retroville High School.

"Thanks for the ride." Cindy said as she hopped out.

"No problem. Just make sure you don't miss the bus next time." Jimmy replied jokingly and then smiled that smile of his once again.

Cindy looked up and said her good-byes, telling him that she'd see him in class.

A voice came from the side of the school.

"Hey Jimmy. What's Cindy doing here?" Sheen Estevez asked.

Sheen was now the hottest guy in school with his smile, charm, and muscles. Unfourtunately enough for him he only grew to a height of 5'9.

"Nothing, just giving her a ride to school." Jimmy said with a smirk as Cindy stormed off.

"Whatever dude. We'd better get to class," Sheen said.

"Ok, just let me get my backpack."

Jimmy reached under his chair and felt his backpack and pulled it out. But he heard a strange noise; like the sound of paper against metal. He looked down and was surprised at what he saw. Under his chair was a medium sized book with a cover of red fabric over red paper with tiny gold hearts made of paint on the fabric.

"Hey Sheen, check this out." Jimmy said as he picked up the diary and handed it to Sheen. Sheen grabbed it and opened the front cover. His eyes opened wide when he read the few words on the first page.

"IDIOT!!! A diary by Cindy Vortex. Started: July 9, 2011. Ended:? Dedicated to Libby. You have always been my guardian angel. Thanks." Sheen read as a smile ran across his face.

"Oh this is gonna be good!" Sheen said slyly with excitement in his voice.
