Expect The Unexpected

Chapter 1: First Sign Of True Love

Jimmy's alarm goes off a 6 am. The sun is just rising, and there are beautiful colors in the sky. However, none of this is being enjoyed by Jimmy because he is sleeping through he has been doing lately. After a few noisy minutes, Jimmy wakes up, but not before throwing his alarm clock against the wall across the room. Jimmy slowly gets out of bed and gets dressed. He is too tired to take a shower, so he heads downstairs, where he notices something amiss. His parents are nowhere to be found. He sees a note on the fridge door.

The note says:

Dear Jimmy,

Your mother and I have gone to work early and will be working late. Sorry, this is unexpected. We will be taking your sister today, as she is sick. Hope you can take care of yourself today.

Love dad.

Jimmy, after reading the note, breathes a sigh of relief. He then makes himself some breakfast and pours himself some freshly brewed coffee, which he eats and drinks slowly, barely finishing when the bus arrives. Jimmy grabs his book bag, his headphones and Ipod, and the rest of his stuff, and walks to the bus. Once he gets on the bus, he finds an empty seat, sits down, and falls asleep. He is so ingrained in sleep he fails to notice he is at school until his best friends, Carl and Sheen, wake him up. Jimmy slowly opens his eyes, grabs his stuff, and walks off the bus, but only after he thanks Carl and Sheen.

"Hey, why are you so tired?" asked Carl, semi-concerned.

"I stayed up until 4 o' clock working on an experiment. That being said, all I want to do is sleep." explained Jimmy, who is talking and walking as slow as a zombie.

"Here, we'll help you out. At the rate you're walking, we won't get to class until next week. Carl, help me carry Jimmy to his locker." said Sheen.

Carl and Sheen carry Jimmy to his locker. They receive some strange looks, but they didn't care. Jimmy, Sheen and Carl's lockers are next to each other, so when they carried Jimmy to his locker, they also went to their lockers. Jimmy slipped to the floor and fell asleep while Sheen and Carl were gathering their supplies. Once they collected their supplies, Sheen and Carl carry Jimmy to the classroom. They carry Jimmy to his desk, still asleep. They then go to their own seats, and as they do, two familiar girls walk into the classroom. They look at Jimmy, then at Carl and Sheen, hoping for an explanation, which they almost immediately receive.

"Why is he so tired?" asked one of the girls.

"Well, Cindy, he was working on a secret experiment, one that will probably get us into mortal danger." said Carl, ½ jokingly and ½ serious.

"Ya, I can believe that. So any ideas of what he's been working on?" asked Cindy, kindly, a little bit too kindly.

"Before me or Sheen answers that question, I have one of my own. Why are you being so nice?" asked Carl.

"Would you rather me be mean instead?" asked Cindy, a little too sharply.

"No! It's just that your hardly ever nice." explained Carl.

Before Cindy could respond, the fire alarm went off. Since the five kids were the only ones in the classroom, they were a bit confused. Nonetheless, they all exit the classroom. Well, all except for Jimmy, who is still sleeping. Noticing this, Carl and Sheen attempt to rush into the classroom, but are stopped by Cindy, who is shaking her head no.

"You guys go, I'll help him!"

Carl and Sheen, not wanting to get on Cindy's bad side, exit the building with Libby. Cindy goes into the classroom and tries to wake Jimmy up. Seeing no use in that, Cindy carries Jimmy outside, where Libby, Carl, and Sheen are waiting. Soon, the entire school is evacuated. Without explanation, the entire school is sent home. Cindy, with Jimmy in her arms, carries him on the bus, with Libby, Carl and Sheen following close behind. They find a couple of empty seats. Under unusual circumstances, Jimmy and Cindy take a seat together, and Carl, Sheen and Libby take a seat together. Now, it would look like Jimmy and Cindy have become a couple, for they have never sat together on the bus, but that is not the case. In fact, as proof that that is not the case, Cindy is yelling at Jimmy.

"Wake up, Neutron! The bus is giving up strange looks, now get up."

Jimmy doesn't move. He doesn't even stir. Before Cindy does something drastic, Libby makes a suggestion.

"Cindy, before you do something drastic, I have a suggestion."

"What is it?" asked Cindy, quietly.

"Well, you aren't going to like it, but it will wake Jimmy up."

Libby is given the sign to hurry up the conversation.

"Kiss him" said Libby, nonchalantly.

"What!" said Cindy, loudly.

The bus looks at her for a moment, and then they go back to their daily lives as the bus starts to move. Cindy thinks about Libby's words for a moment.

Can I really do that? Do I really have the courage to do that?

Cindy courageously says to the bus, "Attention! Get all of your laughter out of the way now. In an attempt to wake up Jimmy over here, I have to kiss him. This does not mean we are a couple, so don't get the wrong impression. I'm just trying to wake him up!"

Okay, I really have to do this now! Well, you know what they say; no guts, no glory.

Cindy closes her eyes, and slowly, Jimmy's lips touch hers. She fells a sensation she has never felt before. She was actually enjoying this. Jimmy, however, wasn't. Once Cindy's lips hit his, his eyes shot open. He was confused, but before he could push Cindy off him, his brain gave him a thought.

She is enjoying this. Let her have this moment. Besides, you're enjoying this too!

Before Jimmy could argue with himself, he realized he wasn't being kissed anymore. In fact, he realized he just got slapped on the back of his head and on the face. He also realized the bus was laughing at him, or were they. He couldn't quite place his finger on it, but something must have happened. Now he was really confused. First, he was at school, and now he's back on the bus. Second, he just got kissed by Cindy Vortex, his arch-nemesis and secret crush. Third, the bus was laughing at him and forth; he is sitting next to Cindy on the bus, which is a first. And, to top it all off, he just got slapped twice. Before he could ask what is going on, the bus driver announced he was at the first stop, which happened to be Jimmy and his friends stop. Jimmy, Carl, Sheen, Cindy and Libby get off the bus. The bus is still laughing when it pulled away from the stop.

"What is going on?" said Jimmy.

Cindy, Libby, Carl, and Sheen explain what happened. They explain carrying Jimmy to his lockers, about the fire alarm, the kiss, and the laughter.

"I apologize. I didn't mean to cause anybody problems. I was up late working on an invention and I guess I was tired all day. Sorry. By the way, you're all invited to my house to see my invention. Why don't you come over after I get some sleep?"

"Sounds good!" said the four friends.

"Okay, see you later." said Jimmy.

Jimmy waves goodbye to his friends and walks to/into his house. He leaves a note on the door explaining that he is home early and that he doesn't want to be disturbed. He goes to his room and collapses on his bed. He goes right to sleep. Today was going to be a long day.
