I know that last one was kind of cheesy. I just figured their relationship would have its ups and downs and romantic moments and less romantic moments….
So listen to the soundtrack of Never Let Me Go. Specifically, The Pier the Pier and Unseen Tides. It's completely beautiful, haunting, and a little eerie. It's what I listened to while writing this chapter. P.S. Jimmy is a little out of character in this one.
I don't own Jimmy. Love, Katie.

"We are NOT doing our report on Albert Einstein, Neutron. That's my final word."
"But, Cindy!"
"No!" She interrupted.
"Come on!"
"Einstein is so unoriginal. I'm sure half the class will write on him!"
"No, they won't."
"Yes, they will!"
"No."
"Yes."
"Here I'll prove it to you," Cindy retorted quickly.
She walked over to Goddard.
"Call Libby," she told the dog simply. Goddard barked and did as he was told. "Put her on speaker," she added as the phone began to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey Libs, this is Cindy."
"Hey girl, what's goin' on?"
"I just have a quick question for you."
"Does this have to do with Neutron? Seriously girl, that's ALL you ever talk about."
From behind her, Jimmy chuckled.
"Oh shoot," Libby whined. "He can hear me, can't he?"
Cindy hissed.
"Yes."
"Sorry," Libby apologized. Jimmy kept chuckling to himself.
"Shut it, Neutron." But, her warning did not stop him. "Anyway, I called because I was about to prove a point to King Cranium over here. Who are you doing your report on for Physics?"
"Albert Einstein."
"Thanks Libby," she responded and then with a hard press of the END button, ended the call. She turned to face Jimmy who was smiling stupidly. She just clenched her fist together. "See? I was right and you were wrong."
"It sounds to me like someone is a little obsessed."
"I am not obsessed!"
He would NOT stop laughing.
"You are."
"You just can't swallow the fact that I bested you in this argument, Neutron!"
He smiled wryly.
"I just never pegged you to be the crazy stalker type."
There was a moment of dead silence and then Cindy acted on the escalating anger inside of her.
"I am leaving."
He chuckled as he moved into his computer chair.
"You'll be back."
"I will not be back, you smart mouthed ass," she hissed and then disappeared out of the lab. From behind her she could still hear Jimmy chuckling to himself.
With a growl she mentally promised herself that she'd wait at least two hours before coming back. That would give Neutron time to fret about it. He'd regret making a fool out of Cindy Vortex.
She smiled as she turned off her cell phone.
This would be fun.
