Thanks for the reviews on chapter 2. I've been trying to take your advice.
Here's chapter 3 please keep reviewing.
Chapter 3 Promotions and E-mails
"Hi mum!" Cindy called when she got in from school.
"Hi honey, how was school, why are you so late home?" Her mum asked worriedly
"Oh sorry mum, Jimmy Neutron got me and him in detention again" Cindy replied angrily. Her mum didn't reply. She had heard this story many times and she wasn't quite sure she believed it. Just then the phone rang.
"I'll get it, why don't you go upstairs and do your homework dear." Cindy's mum said disappearing into the kitchen to answer the phone. She didn't have any homework but Cindy went upstairs to her room anyway to check the e- mails on her computer.
Her computer said she had one unread message. She assumed it was Libby but when she checked the address she didn't recognise it. She wondered who it was from. Cindy started to become nervous, what if it was someone sending a virus to her computer. She told herself she was just being stupid, it was probably just someone trying to sell stuff over the Internet. She thought about deleting it, but then thought she'd never know what it was if she did. She opened it and was just about to read the fist line when.
"Cindy honey, come down we need to talk." Her mum called up the stairs not sounding herself. Cindy didn't know whether she was glad or disappointed to leave the e-mail unread. She went downstairs, her mother was sitting on the sofa looking sort of happy yet worried at the same time.
"Sweetie I have some." she paused not know what word to use. "news"
"What kind of news mum." Cindy asked puzzled.
"well good and bad I guess. The good news is that on the phone just now was my boss." She said
"What did he want," asked Cindy still not having a clue what was going on.
"He's given me a promotion," replied her mum
"Wow that's brilliant!!!!!!" said Cindy, "What could be bad about that" she questioned.
"Well you see honey," Cindy's mum paused not knowing how to break it to her daughter, "because of my promotion we have to to to, move house," she said quickly, "I'm so sorry honey but there's nothing I can do." Cindy sat stunned in her chair not knowing what to say. "Are you ok sweetie," Her mum asked putting her hand on her shoulder." There was silence for a minute or so before Cindy eventually found her voice and said
"Where to, where do we have to move to." Cindy questioned.
"I'm not quite sure honey, my boss said nothing had been fully arranged, all he said was it would be maybe around 50 miles or so away," Her mum answered, Cindy gasped and snapped out of her trance, she suddenly felt like crying, she didn't want to leave her friends, her boyfriend, her school or this house she'd lived in since she'd been born.
"I know it's hard dear, but your gonna have to say goodbye to all your friends," her mum tried to sound soothing but it didn't make any difference.
"When, when do we leave" said Cindy hoping that she would have enough time to come to terms with everything and be able to say proper goodbyes.
"As soon as my boss finds a place for us to live, he said it would probably be about 2 weeks," replied her mum knowing that everything she said was making this shock worse and worse for her daughter. At this last statement Cindy almost did cry and run upstairs to her room but she sat there, still not properly taking in what her mother was saying.
"I know it's a lot to take in and I'm really sorry I have to drag to you away everything you know and love, but I don't have a choice, if a reject this promotion then I'll never get another chance to be promoted." Cindy didn't know what to say she wanted to be alone to think about her situation.
"I understand if you want to go up to your room, I know it's a lot to take in such a short notice." Cindy's mum said sympathetically.
"Thanks mum," Cindy said gratefully, and trudged slowly up to her room. When she got to her bedroom she flopped on her bed, she lay on her back staring up at her ceiling. She turned over on to her stomach and her she saw her computer screen in the corner in the eye and remembered the e-mail. She slowly got up and walked over to the computer and started to read. It said
Anonymous: Hi Cindy, I know this will probably feel weird, getting an e- mail from someone when you don't know who it's from, but I can't tell you face to face, I want to tell you that I've liked you for some time now but I've never known how to tell you. Now I've come to a point where I think I love you. If I had said that to your face the whole school would laugh at me forever. Please don't ever tell anyone about this e-mail. Love your secret admirer.
Cindy sat paralysed in her chair, she didn't know what to think. Could this be Nick trying to be romantic, it wasn't the sort of thing he would do. Maybe it was someone playing a sick joke, but who would be that cruel. Maybe it was someone who had just sent the e-mail to the wrong address, she hoped this was the case, but there was something telling her that the real reason was because someone out there really did love her. She racked her brains trying to think of someone, she thought of every single boy in school and elsewhere who could possibly have crush on her. Her thought of lots of people, lets face it she was pretty, popular and smart but no-one seemed to be the type to send secret e-mails, in fact she didn't know anyone who send this stuff to her. She wondered what to do, she thought about calling Libby but then remembered she was out on a date with Sheen. She thought about telling her mum but she had enough to worry about. Thinking about her mum reminded her about the move, but somehow that didn't seem as important anymore, she thought some more and eventually started typing a reply it read
Cindy.V: Please tell me who you are, I won't tell anyone I promise.
She clicked send and waited for a reply.
Chapter Three's done. Hope you like it please R/R. I know it's kinda obvious who's sending the e-mails but I don't care.
