Junie B., First Grader

Jim is Back!

A/N Sorry it's been a while. I just couldn't think of anything to write about!!! But, I guess I'll wing it, huh? XD

Chapter 3

You're BACK?!

Last Time:

"You don't remember me?" The boy looked at me with sad eyes. "My name is Jim."

My mouth came open real wide.

"JIM?!" I screamed my loudest. Herb's head snapped up again.

"Huh? Huh?" He looked around, then plopped his head back down again.

"JUNIE B. JONES! HUSH YOUNG LADY!" The bus driver yelled back at me. 'Hush Young Lady' is growed up talk for 'Be quiet right now and I mean it!'.

"Jim?!" I whispered. Jim nodded at me real fast. "But what are you doing here?"

"You Loony Bird, I still go to school here!" Jim rolled his eyes up to the ceiling. I looked up there too, but I didn't see anything. I looked back at Jim with my angriest face.

"I AM NOT A LOONY BIRD YOU MEANIE JIM!!!" I yelled at that Meanie.

"JUNIE B!!!" The bus driver yelled at me again. "DON'T MAKE ME BRING YOU UP HERE!" After that, I sat real quiet in my seat. I remembered I was still talking to that Meanie.

"Well, I come I never saw you then?" I whispered back to Jim.

"Because," He said, "We're in different classes. Hey Junie B.?" Jim whispered to me.

"Yeah?" I asked him.

"Can you come back here for a sec?" He pointed to the seat he was seating in and moved closer to the window. I quick got up from my seat, and moved back to Jim's.

"Yeah, Jim?" I whispered.

"Do remember what I told you last year?" I looked at him confused. "The valentine I gave you?" My face lit up and I smiled at that guy.

"You bet I do!" I told him happily. And I guess I was kinda loud, cuz Jim put his hand over my mouth.

"Please, Junie B., be quiet!" He took his hand off of my mouth.

"Do you still like me, Jim?" I whispered. Jim nodded and then blushed.

"Yeah, Junie B. I do." He laughed for a minute.

"What are you laughing at Jim?" I asked.

"Do you remember how I reacted when you first found out?" He smiled at me. I thought about it.

FLASHBACK!!

"Do you like me, Jim?"

Jim's face got all flustered and he looked around nervously. "Uh, yes. Um, no. I-I uh.."

"Then why are you all red? And why are you stuttering Jim? Huh? And if you don't like me, then why did you get me this big mushy gushy valentime? Huh, Jim? Huh?"

"Oh!!!" Jim stomped his foot real angrily. "I knew I would ruin it! I always ruin EVERYTHING! Now all of my friends are gonna know I like girls!"

We laughed together and we both blushed a little. "Yeah." I told him. "I remember."

"Junie B.," Jim looked at me real seriously. "I don't want you to tell anyone, okay?"

"Why not, Jim?! It's real sweet." I smiled at him.

"You didn't tell anyone, did you?" He looked real mad for a second.

"No! I didn't Jim!" I told him.

"You promise?!"

"I promise. Cross my heart and hope to fly."

"Um, Junie B. I think it's 'hope to die'."

"WHAT?!" I looked at him real scared "But I don't wanna die! I wanna fly!" Jim smiled real sweet at me and laughed.

"Oh, Junie B. You always knew how to spark things up." He looked at my shoulder, then he poked it. "Zzzt. Zzzt." Then he winked at me real good.

I turned to face the seat in front of me and looked down in my lap. "I guess I did." I whispered just to myself. My face got really hot and we didn't talk for the rest of the ride.

A/N I know, it was more dialogue than substance, but I thought it was cute. The last part is supposed to show her developing a crush on Jim. She is still her crazy self, isn't she? =] Please review!
