Beauty from Pain: Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING! Please review guys. It's my first story and I want to know how to get better.
At Cindy's House the Next Day
"Libbs, for the last time, I only did it so he can understand that the average beats per minute send a neurological signal to the brain combined with the size of the ear buds effectively drowning out all sound." "girl, I stopped listening when you started science talking. Did you think about the anonymous story you're gonna write for Mr. Croft's AP English?" "Of course, I've already started. Oh, I gotta go Libbs, gotta get my baby back." With that, she grabbed her story, put it in her back and set off to Jimmy's.
She got to his house about 1:45. So she decided to catch up with his parents for a while. With a hesitant knock on the door, she was let in by Jimmy's mother. "Cindy darling, how is your new father?" Judy and Hugh Neutron were aware that Cindy's parents had been killed and that she was living with a foster father now. Cindy didn't want Jimmy or anyone else to know out of fear of pity, or them wanting to meet him. "Cedric is fine Mrs. Neutron." She replied a tiny bit strained at the thought of Cedric as "father". "Please dear," she interrupted, "Call me Judy." "Ok, Judy, I'm here because I had lent Jimmy my iPod yesterday and I came to get it back. I ended up here a little early so I wanted to see how you all were." Cindy had taken to wearing long sleeve shirts, and jeans, along with her hair down. When she got nervous or upset, she started tucking her hair behind her ears. This didn't go unnoticed by the whole Neutron family. They thought it was just a teenage thing.
Judy had shown her to the lab explaining there would be cookies soon. Cindy flew down the shoot landing on something soft and squishy. Whatever was under her let out a small "oomph" She flew up in shock and immediately helped the teen up. "Sorry Jimmy, you really need a landing pad or something." He only smirked and said " You surprise me Vortex. I didn't peg you as a huge fan of My Chemical Romance and a Three Days Grace fan." She only laughed and told him she knew he would figure it out, that coding was only there so she wouldn't get made fun of if someone looked through it.
They ended up talking about their assignment in Mr. Croft's class of all things. She had asked about his topic and he told her it would be about the thought process of dogs versus cats based on his new invention which could translate their thoughts and vocal patterns into English. When he had asked her, they heard a harsh voice calling her name. "CYNTHIA!" She sighed and said " I gotta go, I'll see you on Monday." She grabbed her green iPod nano and rushed out the door. As she left, he walked to the kitchen of his house starting to wonder who's voice it was. Jimmy had met both her parents, albeit years ago, but he was new. Wasn't he?
