Chapter 7. I didn't think this fic was gonna have so many chapters, sorry
I'll try and finish it soon.
Chapter 7: Great news
The day before the party arrived, amazingly everyone had managed to keep their mouths shut around Cindy and she didn't expect a thing. Cindy and Libby had been shopping the day before to get new outfits and then Cindy had gone back to Libby's to stay over even though it was a school night.
"Hi mum, I'm home," Cindy called when she returned from school that afternoon. She remembered that she only had 2 days until she was leaving and said.
"I'm going upstairs to pack my bags," unenthusiastically. But before she could her mum said.
"Wait honey, don't go yet, I need to talk to you," this news didn't look like bad news in fact Rhonda (Cindy's mum) looked like she couldn't wait to tell her daughter.
"Ok mum, what is it," Cindy asked.
"Well, before you came home I was on the phone to my work and.," she said building up the tension, "my boss said that we don't have to MOVE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cindy jumped up and hugged her mum and screamed with happiness.
"That's great!!!" Cindy yelled happily, "but does that mean that you don't get you're promotion, cos if it does I don't mind going."
"No no honey, I still get my promotion," Rhonda said reassuringly "But it just means I can stay hear and work from the same office."
"Great, can I go and ring Libby to tell her the good news," Cindy said, she couldn't believe she was actually staying, she'd only just come to terms with leaving. She raced upstairs and was halfway through dialling Libby's number when she stopped, she replaced the receiver. She sat down on her bed. She had a better idea. Why not let them all think she was leaving then she would ask to make a goodbye speech and tell them all about how she was really staying. After all she liked the attention she got and all the sympathy people gave her. The dance was also a good time to dump Nick, she could just say that there was no point in them going out because they were hardly going to see each other. Then on Monday when he saw her and Jimmy together he could tell her all the real reasons. When she watched T.V shows when couples broke up it was always a really sad event and the girl would always cry and the man would always get angry and through things around the rooms, but she thought she was going to enjoy breaking up with Nick, and it wasn't like he cared about her much so it wouldn't be too bad for him either.
She thought about e-mailing Jimmy and telling him, but then thought that it might scare him off. So instead she just checked her e-mails. There was one from Jimmy it read:
Anonymous: Hi Cindy, are you still coming to the park after the dance tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to seeing you at there. I know you'll look gorgeous you always do. I wish you didn't have to move because I'll miss you more than anyone else in the world, more than Nick even more than Libby because I love you so much, it doesn't matter anyway because you have Nick, and no-one is as cool as Nick so you'll never dump him for me. See you tomorrow.
She smiled, remembering the time when she got the first e-mail from Jimmy and she hadn't wanted to open it in case it was some creep stalking her, now she enjoyed getting e-mails from him even though she had to pretend she didn't know who he was. She e-mailed him back, her reply read:
Cindy.V: I'm definitely still coming tomorrow, I can't wait to find out who you are, even though I'm leaving the day after the dance. I'll see you at the dance, actually I don't know weather I will as I don't know who you are I've just got to take you're word for it that you are going.
She sent the e-mail then went downstairs, she had remembered something that she had to ask her mum. Rhonda was sitting at her lap-top at the kitchen table typing something for work.
"Hey mum, you know how it's the dance tomorrow and it doesn't finish until ten, and you say that I can only stay out until 10:30, well can I stay out a bit later because Libby wants me to come back to hers for a bit and celebrate," she lied, Rhonda didn't approve of Cindy having a boyfriend, she thought she was too young, obviously her mum didn't know about Nick, Cindy had told her once that she was dating Nick and she had grounded her for a month and banned her from seeing him after school (obviously they would see each other at school) so she wasn't about to tell her that she was dating anyone a least until she was old enough to leave home.
Her mum thought about Cindy's question and said,
"Well as a treat because I know how happy you are that we don't have to leave, but 11:00 at the latest or you're grounded for a month," said Rhonda.
"Thanks mum, you're the best," Said Cindy throwing her arms around her mother. She went upstairs to try on her new outfit.
**************
The day of the dance/party arrived and everyone was in the party mood, most of their teachers gave up trying to teach lessons and just played games with them or let them talk all the time. The dance/party was the talk of the school, you couldn't go anywhere without hearing people comparing outfits, dates or something to do with that evening. With every second that passed Cindy got more and more nervous and exited about telling Jimmy Neutron she loved him, at the same time Jimmy felt more anxious about telling Cindy that he loved her. Cindy spent all day planning how she was going to dump Nick what she was going to say to Jimmy after the dance/party that night.
Every time they passed each other in the corridor their hearts jumped in their chests but both always covered it up with an insult.
Jimmy had spent hours in the mall choosing a good-bye presents and he really hoped she liked it because he had made sure it was extra special by personalising it for her. It had cost him a lot too; £40 he just hoped it was worth it. Cindy had received lots of presents from her friends Libby, Nick and even Sheen and Carl had given her gifts even if Sheen had only given her an Ultralord t-shirt and Carl a 'beginners guide to llamas' but she appreciated their thoughtfulness all the same. Libby, Sheen and Carl had time and time again tried to get Jimmy to tell them what he got her but he wasn't going to say anything.
Everyone cheered when the bell went and they were allowed to leave double chemistry, being strict the teacher had kept them working up until the last minute, but no-one cared anymore as they left the school for the weekend, and before that the dance/party.
Cindy got in and went straight upstairs to wash her hair, she needed every second to get ready. After all Nick was coming to pick her up in a few hours. When she was ready she got her mum to help her paint her nails put on her makeup and jewellery. Then, in the last 15 minutes before she had to go she rehearsed her conversation with Jimmy. Soon she heard the beep beep of the horn in Nick's parents car and she went downstairs saying a quick goodbye to her mum and got into the car with Nick. This was the beginning of her plan.
Chapter 7 is over, hopefully chapter 8 will be the last one. I'm already working on a second fic so if this one gets some more good reviews I might publish it.
