Chapter 4: Walking Home
Jenny inhaled the fresh air, the past day had been such a wonderful day, especially since she was no longer sick. Have you ever been sick for a while, stuffed up in your room with nothing to do except take medicine, eat soup, read books, and wait for school to be over so you can talk to your friends once they get home?
Well Jenny had to go through that for a week, and she had been worried the whole time she was going to miss something important, or worse missing Valentines Day.
But she didn't, and now she was walking home with her cousin, listening to her CD player since Jimmy didn't feel like talking.
Jenny started humming to the song "Our Lips Are Sealed" by the Go Gos, yes it was an old song but Jenny has unique taste, plus this CD was made by her with all her favorite songs on there.
Then the song "Go Jimmy, Jimmy" by Aaron Carter, then Jenny thought for a moment, "Wow, that song sounds a bit like it's about my little cousin … nah … how would Aaron Carter know who Jimmy Neutron is ?" Jenny thought to herself as the song "Complicated" by Avril Lavigne came on and they continued to walk in silence and Jenny hummed along.
"Say Jenny …" Jimmy said, but Jenny didn't hear him because of her CD player.
"Jenny? JENNY??" Jimmy said louder and louder.
"Huh?" Jenny suddenly realized Jimmy was now yelling at her, she pressed paused and removed her headphones.
"Oh, sorry about that Jimmy. What's wrong?" Asked Jenny.
"Oh, nothing really, just wanted to know, if … you .. erm- where feeling better." Jimmy lied, he really meant to ask something else but he couldn't edge himself to do that.
Jenny gave him an odd look, she could tell he wanted to say something else, "I'm doing great Jimmy." Then she smiled and said, "But … that's not what you wanted to ask, now was it?"
Jimmy shook his head no, "You see … I got this Valentine today …" He paused to think of how to put it.
Jenny snickered, "Yeah, so did I and about everyone else in class."
Jimmy rolled his eyes and said, "No, I mean I got a … a .. secret admirer."
Jimmy eyes got wide and interested, "Oooh!"
Jenny smiled and pinched his cheek, "Jimmy's got a girl-admirer!"
"Ouch!" He mumbled and pushed her hand away, "But how do I know if it's a joke or not?"
Jenny smiled and said, "Let me see it."
Jimmy pulled out of his pocket the valentine, and handed it to Jenny.
Jenny looked at the hand writing on the front and smiled, she knew it was from Cindy, her hand writing was very recognizable for Jenny, but she opened it anyways, and looked over it and said, "I think it's real." She said with a smile and handed it back to Jimmy.
"Really?" Jimmy looked at the envelope curiously, "But why would a GIRL be writing to me??"
Jenny laughed, "You're a very silly kid Jimmy. It's obviously isn't it? A GIRL likes you!"
Jimmy almost looked a bit disgusted and replied, "Oh .. well, you can go back to your CD now." Jimmy didn't feel like asking Jenny about this.
Jenny shrugged, "Ok Romeo!" She smiled with a small snicker and put her head phones on, and then said, "If you don't mind I gotta blast home as soon as possible, I'm on the final chapters for my Harry Potter book and I'd like to finish it soon, I left off at a very suspenseful part and I'm dying to find out what happens next!"
Jimmy nodded, "Ok, see you later."
Jenny kneeled down and pressed two buttons on her shoes, instantly they turned into roller blades, she pressed another button and they gained a motor, with in a second Jenny was zooming down the street as fast as it takes to light a hay stack on fire.
Jimmy walked thoughtfully at the interesting thought that some weird girl has a crush on him, it just didn't feel possible.
