The Blackout

My parents had left. They went on vavation to Hawaii. Why couldn't I go? It was because I was supposed to work on a stupid project. It was for science class. We had to make a volcano with lava erupting from it. It needed alot of help. There stood the clay hill on a foam board. There was green construction paper for the grass. I had bought little men from the craft store down the street and pasted them on the side of the mountain. I didn't quite state which volcan it was. Was it Mt. Saint Helens? No, maybe it was Kileau. Well, I didn't know.

I was bored. I turned the heater on. It was freezing and I was miserable. There was no one there to comfort me. Lightning flashed every so often. I sat down in my rolling chair and turned the computer on. It took almost 3 minutes to start up. I signed on AIM.(aol instant messenger)

A box popped up. It said:

Username: MsSmarty95
Password:

I signed on. No one else was on except Jimmy. I clicked his username and typed in:

MsSmart95: hey wats up.

Brainiac123: hi cindy.

MsSmarty95: hey wanna cum over here??

Brainiac123: sure. i'll be right over.

Brainiac123 signed off.

I signed off. Yes! He was coming over to my house. Sure enough, I heard the bell. DING-DONG. I ran downstairs and opened it. Jimmy stood there. He had matured a little bit. he was still very handsome and looked the same, but a little taller and less nerdy. Same hairstyle. He was popular now...kind of. He grew a few inches, but no more. Now that we were 14, he was way less nerdy. He was still somewhat smart but wouldn't say big words. He walked in and followed me upstairs.

Jimmy's POV

I followed Cindy upstairs. The lights flashed a few times, and went out. It became very dark. Soon, I felt something against me. It was Cindy, maybe. I clung to her like a human clung onto the edge of a cliff. We finally made it into her room. Then, the lights turned on.

"Im soo bored." I said.

"Me too."

"Well, what do you wanna do?"

"I don't know."

"How about truth or dare?" Cindy suggested.

"Sure."

"I play it where if you pick truth, next time you have to do dare and vice versa."

"Alright." I said. "Truth or dare?"

"Umm...truth."

"Do you like me?"

"Of course, Jimmy! You're my friend. Why wouldn't I?"

"I mean, LOVE me?"

"Yea. Truth or dare?"

"Dare..." I said nervously.

"I dare you to...kiss me."

That's when the lights went OUT. And they didn't turn back on.
