I have NO CLUE why this chapter is done. A warning though, it's mostly talking.
Disclaimer- I don't own Jimmy Neutron, Netflix, or sadly, Doctor Who. (If you've never seen an episode of Doctor Who, I HIGHLY recommend it.)
The next day, Libby and Cindy walked into the school holding hands, and walked straight up to Nick Dean's locker where he was flirting with another girl.
"Nick, I need to talk to you." Cindy said.
"Bout what, babe?" he asked without looking away from the girl he was flirting with previously.
"I'm breaking up with you." She said, trying hard to not let her voice crack. Libby squeezed her friends hand. Finally Nick turned around, and Libby squeezed hard.
"What!" He yelled loudly, causing everyone around them to turn their heads. Nick shooed the girl he was flirting with, and glared at Cindy.
"I said, I'm breaking up with you."
"No! You don't break up with me! Nobody breaks up with me! I'm Nick Dean! I don't get dumped!"
"Apparently you do," Libby said for Cindy, who was trying really hard not to appear weak. Before Nick could say anything else, they both walked away. Cindy led Libby into the girls bathroom and dug her head into her friends chest.
"It's okay Cindy. I'm here. Just let it out."
"C-can you c-call Jimmy?" Cindy said through her tears, the words partially muffled from Libby's shirt. "T-tell him t-to go to the li-library."
"Of course hon." Libby said pulling out her phone. She dialed Jimmy's number, and asked him if he could meet them in the library, after hearing the reply, she said thank you and hung up. "Come on. He'll be there in about ten minutes."
"Okay." Cindy said quietly. She pulled herself away from Libby and walked over to the mirror. She straightened up her hair, and splashed water in her face. For once she was glad she didn't wear make-up. "That was the hardest thing I've ever done, Libs. Thank you. If you weren't there, I wouldn't have ever been able to do it." She walked over to Libby again, and hugged her tightly. Now, let's go face the world." She flashed a smile that almost felt real.
Libby linked arms with Cindy, and they exited the bathroom and headed towards the library.
The two of them entered the library, where Jimmy was already waiting for them. Alone, much to Cindy's surprise. She almost giggled when he stood up at the sight of them. Instead of sitting down though, she wrapped Jimmy in a hug.
"You were right, Jimmy. I broke up with Nick. He was controlling my life, and I wasn't happy.
Thank you." Both Jimmy and Libby were speechless. Cindy didn't say thank you often, and when she did, she meant it.
"Here, sit down. You look like you need it." Jimmy said finally, and he sat her down in the seat next to him.
"I feel terrible. I'm surprised I haven't cried myself out yet." Jimmy didn't say anything, but instead just nodded.
"You aren't crying now, that's a start."
"But I want to."
"Do you want to go home?" Jimmy asked and Cindy nodded.
"My parents'll kill me though."
"Are they home right now?" Cindy nodded again. "Then I guess we'll have to stay at my house."
"But I'll miss school."
"Nothing I haven't learned already."
"Yes, yes, I know you're a genius so stop showing off."
"I mean, let's talk to your teachers, and I can help you learn the material later."
"You aren't joking?"
"Why would I joke around with something like this? You need chocolate, ice-cream, and movies, stat."
"Nick used to, well...dating him was one big mistake."
"I have to agree on this one." Cindy shoved him, and he laughed. "So are we going to go?"
"Yeah." By now, Libby had been long gone, but neither remembered she had once been there. Jimmy and Cindy stood up, and walked to each of Cindy's classes, collecting what was being done for the day.
"You know, if you weren't there I probably wouldn't have ever been able to do that. The teachers don't like me all that much."
"Yeah, well, everything is going to change."
"I hope so."
"Of course, we don't need to do school as soon as we get home. You see, I'm in a mood for television, and I think I know a show you just might like, nerdiness and all."
"I'm going to trust you on this one. Just because I'm interested in what this show might be." Just before they walked out of the school doors, they heard Nick calling from behind them.
"Already all over Neutron! I knew you were a slut, but to dump me for him."
"Just ignore him Cin." Jimmy said, and Cindy nodded. They both walked out the doors, trying their best to ignore Nick's taunts.
As soon as they were clear of the school, Cindy broke down crying again. "I can't believe I spent three years of my life dating that jerk! Three years I'm never going to get back. Years I could have spent adventuring with you guys!"
"Three years isn't bad. Next year is going to be great, I promise. Especially now that you aren't with him anymore."
"Let's just get back to your place."
"The lab has the largest computer, which can also be used as a television, so we'll be in there."
"Why am I not surprised?"
"So what are we watching?" Cindy asked as Jimmy pulled up Netflix.
"Just one of my favorite TV shows. And before you start complaining, it is actually a really good television show, and it isn't just my opinion."
"Okay, but only because I'm upset today." Jimmy clicked on Doctor Who, which was the first thing to pop up, and scrolled all the way back to season 1. "You've watched all these episodes?"
"Three or four times each. Then there are the ones I've watched more times than I can remember. I'll try not to quote."
"Okay. You can start."
"Not yet. Since this will be your first Doctor Who marathon, we're going to need these." Jimmy pulled out a couple bean bag chairs. "You sit down, and I'll prepare the popcorn. What kind of soda do you like?"
"Dr. Pepper." A couple minutes later he came out with two large bowls of popcorn, and two cups of soda.
"Where did you-"
"I have a soda fountain and a popcorn maker."
"Lucky."
"I bought them myself."
"How much do you make?"
"Enough to move out and buy a house."
"I'm not even going to…"
"Yeah, don't."
"So are we going to watch Doctor Who or what?"
So yeah that's that. It skips around a lot more than I like, but I can't really do anything about that.
