There was a pause. Cindy glanced around before saying, "I really like you Jimmy. Do you wanna be my boyfriend?"

Taken aback, Jimmy responded, "I…well…uhh…I…yeah."

"You look cold," Jimmy said after a short pause. "Do you wanna go in?"

"Yeah," Cindy said. "Okay."

As they walked inside they saw Libby and Sheen walking out the door. "Do you want something to drink?" Jimmy asked after they passed.

"Sure," Cindy said.

"I'll be right back," Jimmy said.

Cindy nodded and looked around. Brittany walked over to her, looking disgusted. "What's wrong?" Cindy asked her.

"Nick's a horrible kisser," Brittany said. "He gets his spit all over. It's really gross. He's a horrible dancer, too. He scuffed up my shoes."

"Eew," Cindy said.

"So what about you and Nerdtron?" She asked. "There's a rumor going around that you and him were totally kissing outside. I mean, practically tongue."

"Who told you that?" Cindy asked, trying to avoid the subject, not knowing if Jimmy would want to go public with it.

"Amy," Brittany said. "But we'd need your confirmation first."
"What if I did?"

"You did! Oh. My. God. I'm like…hyperventilating!"

"I never said I did, I asked you…what if I did?"

"I don't know, but that's the classic response when you're not sure if you want to tell," she looked around. "Here comes dream boy now, huh Cindy?"

Brittany walked off, grinning widely. "Here you go," Jimmy said, walking up to her and handing her a drink.

"Thanks," Cindy said.

By the time they were done with their drinks, it was time for Cindy to go home. "I'll walk you home," Jimmy said.

"Okay," Cindy said shyly.

Jimmy got her her coat off of one of the racks. She put it on and they left. The walk home was silent until Cindy said, "Do you think it's fate?"

"What?" Jimmy said, puzzled.

"Do you think it's fate?" she repeated.

"I don't get what you mean," Jimmy said, confused.

"Well, don't you think it's a little weird that we were paired up and we had to make each other valentines and it turns out that we like each other?"

"Yeah, that is a little strange," Jimmy admitted.

"Here we are," Cindy said when they approached her house.

"Yeah," he said quietly.

They walked up the steps. They stopped outside the door. "So I'll see you on Monday?" Cindy asked.

"Yeah," he answered. He looked at his feet when he added, "Unless you wanna do something this weekend. You can call me."

"Okay," she said, nodding and smiling. "Bye."

"Bye," he said, and kissed her on the cheek. He turned and walked down the walk. He turned around at the same time that she turned around in the doorway of her house. She waved at him, and he waved at her. She smiled and walked inside. He turned and walked across the street.
