Hey everyone, shanx for the reviews to this story! Well, less talking, more story!

BAM! It is now the next day. Jimmy is yet again at his locker with Sheen and Carl getting his books for the morning. Just then Libby and Cindy come down the hallway to the boys.

Libby: Hey Sheen…

Sheen: Hi Libby. What's going on?

Libby: Nothing much, just walking to class.

Sheen: May I assist you on your walk?

Libby: Sure! Let's go!

     Sheen walks away with Libby and Cindy leaving Jimmy and Carl in the dust.

Carl: So much for him Jim. Jim? Jimmy?!

Jimmy: Huh, oh..oh yea. Let's go.

Carl: What is your problem? You keep on spacing out on me and Sheen and you hardly ever come back unless we scream at you! What's on your mind?

     Jimmy points to the fading image of the two girls and Sheen. Carl just rolls his eyes at the obvious crush Jimmy had on Cindy. Unfortunatley, what Jimmy really didn't clearly see, is that he was geeky and Cindy was popular. But deep down Jimmy knew that Cindy most likely has her eyes on a lot of other people, not including him. The only thing he could do in his situation is dream. Dream and hope for the best.

Jimmy: Come on Carl, let's go to class.

     Jimmy and Carl head to their first class and sit down in the 5 avaliable seats remaining. Jimmy acts as if he just "nonchalantly" sat next to Cindy. So he sits down and takes out his textbook and notebook and starts taking notes. 10 minutes into the class, he hears a little clink and looks next to his desk. He sees a pencil and looks up to Cindy, who must've dropped the pencil. She obviously did it on purpose to make Jimmy look at her, because she often did things like that to make the boys stare. Jimmy reaches down to get it and picks it up. Cindy reaches out her hand to retrieve the pencil from him. She grabs his whole hand and slides the pencil out of his. Jimmy felt a chill as her hand touched his and he was greatly happy for this. Even though he was just touching her hand, and it wasn't a big deal, he thought of it as the greatest thing in the world.

Cindy: Thanks.

Jimmy: Yo..your welcome, Cin..Cindy.

     Jimmy goes through the whole day with a smile on his face. As he is at his locker at the end of the day talking with Carl and Sheen, Libby and Cindy walk down the hall towards the boys.

Cindy: Hey guys, guess what?

Guys: What?

Libby: Cindy's dad got Cindy and I tickets to Retro Land this Friday for an all-night pass! Isn't that awesome!

Cindy: Unfortunately, my dad got me six tickets. And I don't know what to do with the extras! Do you know anyone that will be willing to go with me?

Sheen: Oh! I'll go with you! Please, please, please let me go with you!

Cindy: Ok. Hey Jimmy, do you and Carl wanna come to?

Jimmy: Yea, I've got nothing to do this Friday night. I guess I could go.

Cindy: Great! Carl?

Carl: Uhh, sure, I'll go too.

Cindy: Alright! That only leaves me with one more ticket to give out.

Libby: Why don't you ask Nick to come?

Cindy: Good idea! I'll call him later. Toodles boys, Jimmy.

Guys: C ya.

Jimmy: Bye Cindy.

     Cindy loved to make Jimmy fall apart like this because a while ago it became obvious to her that he really liked her. That is also the reason that she said that she was going to invite Nick, because she wanted to make Jimmy jealous, but Nick didn't even care about her and she didn't really care about Nick either. But she didn't really take a big look at this situation of Jimmy and what she didn't know. She never deeply thought about why she did or even wanted to do this to Jimmy. She never thought of how he would feel, or even how he felt. Maybe deep down, she felt the same way towards him.

     So, as Libby and Cindy leave, Jimmy says bye to Carl and Sheen and walks slowly home. He is thinking again thinking about Cindy. Questions came to his mind like, "Why must I be a such a loser?" or "Why can't I be popular and have things go my way for once?" These things always seemed to come to mind after Cindy had melted his heart like usual. Just as Jimmy stepped up to his porch, one thing came to mind. Jimmy than says to his self: "Somehow Friday, she's going to see how much I really care. How I can be as cool as anyone else. I don't know how, but I will." Jimmy walks inside and shuts the door behind him.

     At Cindy's house, she had just gotten back from school and is walking upstairs to her room to call Nick to invite him to Retro Land on Friday. She picks up the phone from her computer desk and hesitates a little. Then she dials the number and Nick picks up.

Nick: Hello?

Cindy: Hey Nick. I just wanted to know if you wanted to come to Retro Land with me, Libby, Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen this Friday because I got extra tickets.

Nick: Sure babe, anything for you.

Cindy: OK, meet us at the park entrance at 6 PM on Friday. K?

Nick: Will do.

Cindy: OK, bye.

Nick: C ya.

     Cindy hangs up and puts the phone back on the receiver and sighs. She then goes over to her bed and sits down. She just thinks to herself: "Why is it such a big deal to people if I go out with Nick or not. It's like a fricken rule that popular girls must go out with the popular guys. It's ridiculous! I wish I had someone that actually cared about me and loved me the right way." She thought about this for a while and then went on and thought about her situation with Jimmy: "Why do I do this to Jimmy? It probably breaks him up. More importantly, why do I want to do this to Jimmy? Maybe I really do..

Cindy: Nah!

Does Cindy really care about Jimmy more than she thought she did? Please review and I hope you had a good time reading chapter two! I'll do chapter 3 as soon as I get some reviews! Shanx! ~NeutronGrl15
