Jimmy has now woken up. It is Friday morning and he is just getting dressed. He walks downstairs tiredly, yet excited to go to Retro Land tonight. He's been to Retro Land before of course but not with Cindy. This is his first time going with her. He walks through his kitchen and taps his fingertips on the countertop as he waits for his mom to finish making him toast. Click! The toast pops up out of the toaster and Jimmy takes it out and butters it. He then walks towards the door.
Judy: Have a good day at school Jimmy.
Jimmy: OK, c ya mom.
Judy: Bye dear.
Jimmy walks out his door and heads down the lonely sidewalk towards the school when he lands upon a gold string on the ground. He picks it up and notices that it is not a string, but a gold bracelet. As he examines it, he feels small ridges on the other side of the little gold plate in the middle of it. As he turns it around, he notices that it was not only ridges, but it was an engraving that read "Cindy" in bold letters. Jimmy thought to him self. "This must be Cindy's bracelet. She'll be so happy that I found it! I can't wait to see the look on her face!" Jimmy walks to school faster and even more excited than he was when he woke up this early morning. He walks into school towards his locker to find Sheen and Carl waiting there for him. Cindy and Libby were there too, and Cindy didn't seem to be very happy. She was crying a little.
Jimmy: Hey guys. Hey Cindy, what's wrong?
Cindy: Oh, I lost my bracelet this morning. I got it from Nick for our 2 month anniversary, and I don't know what happened to it.
Jimmy hesitated a little bit at the sound of hearing that the bracelet was from Nick. Questions came to mind like, "Should I give it back? I mean, after all, it was from Nick. Why should I?" Then, he finally made up his mind and reached into his pocket and pulled out the pretty gold bracelet.
Jimmy: Here Cindy, I found it on the sidewalk as I was walking to school this morning.
Cindy: My bracelet! Oh, thank you Jimmy, thank you!
Cindy got a little in over her head and ran up to Jimmy and hugged him. As he was caught in her embrace for that moment, he felt as if he was on top of the world. Suddenly, she released him and took the bracelet from him.
Cindy: Thanks Jim.
Jimmy: No problem Cindy.
Libby and Cindy walk away down the hallway.
Sheen: Wow, she hugged you all for a stupid little bracelet.
Carl: Yea, that sure was dramatic.
Jimmy: Hey, I did find something that was important to her, didn't I? So there was a reason for her to be happy.
Sheen: Whatever man. I'm going to class.
Carl: Yea Jim, I'm going too.
Jimmy: OK, I'll be there after I get my stuff.
So Jimmy gets his books out of his locker as Sheen and Carl walk away towards the classroom. As Jimmy closes his locker, he turns around towards his classroom and walks down the direction that Sheen and Carl headed. As he walked in the classroom, he turned out to be the last one in there, like most of the time. He went to the last seat available, which was next to Sheen. He sat down and took out his books that he needed and listened to his teacher's monotone voice as he talked. Jimmy must've been more tired that he usually was, because he slowly drifted to sleep on his desk top. His vision became fuzzy and then a clear picture came into view. He was in a field of wildflowers. In the distance he could see a fuzzy image. He ran closer and closer as the image became clearer with every step he took. Then suddenly, he got close enough to see what the image was. It was Cindy sitting on tall, round pole, as if a statue on its podium. She was wearing a beautiful, flowing gown that was a light shade of green. As the dress blew in the wind, her eyes sparkled as if they were shiny new emeralds. Her hair was down and was blowing in the wind. Jimmy ran closer and soon he was up to the bottom of the podium she sat on. She smiled and put out her and as Jimmy pulled her off the podium as they both fell to the ground. They laughed and Jimmy picked up a flower and gave it to her. She smiled approvingly as she took the flower and put it in her hair. They both sat up and look into eachother's eyes. The inched closer and closer together, as if a magnet attracted to metal, until…BRRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGG! Jimmy shot up out of his desk as he woke up just as the bell rang.
Sheen: Come on Jimmy, let's get to our next class before we get in trouble!
Jimmy: Oh, ok I'm coming.
Jimmy packed away his books and zipped up his backpack and headed to his next class with his friends. He was a little mad that the bell rang just as he was at the good part of his dream. But he went on anyways just acting as if nothing happened. He drifted out through the day as a piece of paper without any wind. As school ended, he headed back to his locker to get what he needed.
Sheen: I can't wait to go to Retro Land tonight! It's gonna rock! I'm going to ride as many rides as I can and then puke!
Carl: Yea, me too!
Jimmy: Yea, its gonna be a blast! I can't wait either! Well, I'm going home, I'll see you guys later.
Sheen and Carl: Bye.
Jimmy walks home and goes down to his lab to find his playful pup awaiting his arrival. "Ruff ruff!" Goddard barked playfully as Jimmy walked towards him. "Hey boy!" Jimmy responded to his dog's bark. Jimmy walked back to his experiments he was working on and worked on them for about an hour. Then he walked upstairs with Goddard and into his house. He walked towards his room as his mom stopped him.
Judy: How was school dear?
Jimmy: Fine.
Judy: That's good.
As Jimmy started walking upstairs his mother's voice stopped him again.
Judy: Oh, someone called you while you were in you lab.
Jimmy: Who?
Judy: It was that cute Cindy Vortex from across the street.
Jimmy: Cindy? Calling me?
Judy: Yes dear, I believe so.
Jimmy: Thanks mom.
Judy: Mmm hmm.
Jimmy walked upstairs and picked up his phone and quickly dialed Cindy's number.
Cindy: Hello?
Jimmy: Hey Cindy, you rang?
Cindy: Oh yea, I just wanted to tell you to meet us at the entrance tonight at 6 PM. Is that ok?
Jimmy: Perfect. I'll be there.
Cindy: Great, c ya then!
Jimmy: Bye.
Jimmy hangs up the phone and walks towards his bathroom so he can fix his hair. He wanted to look perfect for Cindy.
Back at Cindy's house she was searching her closet for something good to wear. She pulled out a jean mini skirt and a pink tube top. She put it on and decided to wear it. Then she went into the bathroom and put on pink eye shadow. Then she pulled her hair down and brushed it until it was as soft as cotton. She ran out of the bathroom and looked at the lock. It read 5:34 in big digital red letters. "Better get going," She thought to herself. So she went outside and got in her car as she saw Jimmy walk out the front door of his house. "Poor guy," she thought, "He doesn't have a car." She beeped her horn and Jimmy looked up and waved. She stuck her head out the window and said, "Hey Jim, ya wanna ride?" "Sure!" Jimmy yelled back to her as he ran across the street and stepped in her car. "Thanks." Jimmy replied. "No problem," Cindy added. So she drove Jimmy to Retro Land and they got out of the car and walked to the entrance to find the others waiting for them.
Sheen: What the heck took you guys so long? Let's go!
So they head into the park and go on lots of rides. And then they go to eat and go on more rides. Sheen and Carl end up getting sick and then they go on more rides after they felt better. After they did all of this is was about 11:45 and they had to leave at 12:00. So they all got on a boat ride and after they got off they had to leave. So they all said their fair wells and left. Cindy drove Jimmy home.
"Thanks," Jimmy said as he got out of the car and walked towards his door.
"No problem," Cindy replied.
Jimmy happily walked inside up to his room to be greeted by his playful pup.
Jimmy: Hey Goddard, I'll play tomorrow, I'm really tired.
Goddard: Ruff!
Jimmy gets changed and drifts into a peaceful slumber.
That's it for chapter 3! Please review and I will write chapter 4 really soon! Thanks!
