She was always beautiful. Her hair was much longer now since the time they were kids and it flowed perfectly. Her makeup was subtle but clearly enhanced her features and her body was an elegant hourglass shape. Betty was known for her amazing acting skills and whenever she performed in plays, the auditorium was always packed. Teachers soon began to take notice because it wasn't too long before they placed her as the head of the drama department at school.

"Did you just come from Jimmy's lab?" Betty eyed her suspiciously

"Well…"

"What were you doing there?" she shot coldly

"Geez, Quinlan what's with the interrogation? I don't have to answer to you" Cindy blurted

Betty began to tense up, irritation clearly visible on her face

"Just because Jimmy and I are on a break doesn't mean you can just prance your way in"

"Break? He broke up with you!" the blonde teen laughed


Betty and Jimmy had gotten together during his freshman year. He somehow managed to invite her to homecoming and she accepted. The dance was great and everyone enjoyed themselves, well almost everyone did..

"Hey Cind are you okay?" her ebony friend asked sincerely

Cindy watched as Betty was slow dancing with Jimmy. The lights flickered on her face as he held her close to him, his hands on her waist. Betty leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled blissfully.

As Cindy observed this, jealousy began to rise within her but was then extinguished by sadness. She only wished that was her out on that dance floor.

She noticed Betty locking eyes with the boy of her dreams and moving her face slightly closer. The brunette then pressed her lips on his and they shared a deep kiss.

Cindy immediately turned away, desperately trying to mask the pain she was feeling. She felt as though someone stabbed her in the chest right then and there.

"I'm fine, can we just go?" She called back to Libby

Jimmy dated Betty for around two years before breaking up with her recently. Even though he found her to be a beautiful and lovely girl, she just didn't share his interests.

He loved science and talking about formulas, theories, and facts which she knew nothing about. She didn't engage him or drive him to become his best and to succeed in this area.

He was lacking that challenge and eventually grew bored with her.


"He's just confused on what he wants right now, but just stay out my way okay?" Betty snapped

"Whatever you say little miss perfect"

Cindy then proceeded on her way home

No way I'm gonna let Quinlan win this time


School was empty, The Candy Bar was filled, and a sense of joy lingered over Retroville.

It was officially the weekend.

"Thanks for having me over Ms. V"

"You're welcome, Liberty. I'm glad that you will be assisting Cynthia with her studies tonight while I'm gone"

As Sasha Vortex left the house, Cindy and Libby both waved to her and watched as she got in her car and drove off.

"Yes, my mom completely bought it!"

"I can't believe she did"

"She never passes an opportunity at a chance for me to study while she's out on business" Cindy laughed while putting imaginary air quotes around the word study

The girls quickly went up to Cindy's room. There she told Libby everything that had happened earlier that day, all the way from physics class to the encounter with Betty.

"If you're making it hard for him to forget you, I think he's stuck in the same situation you are. He wants to move on but he can't."

"Libs, I don't know if I want to move on any more.. Not unless I know for sure he doesn't feel the same way I feel for him"

"Exactly what do you feel for him? hmm" Libby eyed her curiously

"Oh uh well… Cindy began to blush profusely while rubbing the back of her neck

"You loveeeee him, admit it" the braided girl said with a huge grin spread across her face

"What? I didn't say that!"

"You didn't have to say it, it's super obvious ya know"

"How obvious?" Cindy said clenching her teeth

"Girl the way that you look at him says it all, Also you rejected Brian Richmond the all star quarterback that all the girls obsess over. Everyone thought you were crazy for that"

"He just wasn't my type" she scoffed

"True, boys who have an insanely high IQ and get certified at NASA by age eleven are more your type, huh?" Libby laughed

Suddenly a bright light beamed from Jimmy's house catching their attention

"Whoa what was that?" Exclaimed Libby

Cindy grabbed up her binoculars and decided to see if she could find the source

"Looks like it's coming from Neutrons room"

She peered inside, kind of surprised he had his curtains open

There he was pacing back and forth clearly yelling something but she couldn't quite make it out

Cindy laughed

"Guess he still makes mistakes after all"

As he settled down, he put away his failed experiment and threw away his written outlines.

She could tell he was about to turn in for the night.

As Cindy was about to turn back to Libby, something grabbed her attention.

Jimmy was taking off his shirt, his toned body becoming exposed.

Cindy knew that she shouldn't be watching but her eyes were now glued and she just couldn't look away.

The dull light shadowed his muscles bringing them even more definition. She traced her eyes along his chest and down to his abdomen.

Her best friend noticed her mouth was agape

"What's going on? I wanna see"

But before she could say anything against it,

Libby snatched the binoculars out of her hands and peered through them.

She turned back to a red faced Cindy who tried her best to avoid eye contact.

"You were totally checking him out!"

"Was not!"

"Girl you definitely got your studying in tonight!" giggled Libby

Now I'm gonna be a good friend and put these binoculars away before he takes off anything else"

Cindy was as embarrassed as ever.


I know that was a tad explicit but they are seventeen so it was a struggle. However, no worries, nothing else will be included later on that will be suggestive, so this story won't turn into a T rating. Sorry about this chapter children.
