Hey hey! Thanks for replying! I'm so happy you liked the story! Well, since you replied I'm giving you your chapter 2! Here it is! Please R+R!
~Chapter 2: Holographic Notice~
When Cindy picked up the note, a big pink line stretched down the sidewalk father than she could see. She looked back at the not and started to read it. It says as follows:
Follow the line as far as it goes
Where it will take you
Only I can know
But there is a reason for this pink line
It leads to someone
Who looks for you all the time
Start walking towards me
And then you will know
My reason for writing
This ongoing poem
I know you may not care
About the person I may be
But I want your honest answer…
Then the poem stopped and so did the pink line. Cindy looked up from where she was standing.
"Will you go to the dance with me?" Jimmy finished the poem and smiled.
"Jimmy?" Cindy asked disbelieving.
"Yeah." He replied slightly embarrassed.
"How'd you make that line?" Cindy asked.
"Holographics." He replied simply.
"Oh. But…why?" Cindy asked.
"Because I know you may not be happy about the outcome of me being your partner for the dance, but I want to make the best of it for you. Will you just come with me?" Jimmy asked.
"Fine, but don't expect me to be nice to you." Cindy replied and walked away.
"Well, I guess that's it for now." He said to himself and walked to school.
When he got there, he entered his class and sat down in his scratched up desk. He took out one of his books and started reading. After a few minutes, his mind started to drift off into other thoughts.
'Man, I can't believe Cindy was so mean about that. I was only trying to make things better. But, hey, what can I do about it? I'm just…well…me. I know I like her and all, but I can't tell her. There's a risk she and all the other people in the school would laugh me right out of the dance. That would be SO embarrassing. If only…'
"Hey, Jim." Sheen interrupted Jimmy's thoughts.
"Oh, hey, Sheen." Jimmy replied.
"What's wrong? You're lookin' kinda down." Sheen asked.
"Its just this dance thing." Jimmy stated, and after he said that, Sheen smirked.
"You like her, Jim. Don't ya?" Sheen asked, still smirking.
"Well, no, but…" He started and looked at Sheen who had that 'come on' look on his face.
"yea…" Jimmy finished his sentence.
"OH! YEA! I ACTUALLY KNEW SOMETHING FOR ONCE!" Sheen screamed.
"Shhh! Sheen! Quiet down!" Jimmy whispered.
"Oh, sorry." Sheen replied in his normal tone.
"Good morning, class." Ms. Fowl greeted as she came in the classroom.
"We'll talk later." Sheen said going back to his seat.
Jimmy looked back at his book, and then over to the direction of Cindy, who looked back at him a stuck her tongue out at him. He did the same back and turned his attention back to Ms. Fowl, who went on with her boring lectures.
At recess, Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl were outside sitting on the jungle gym.
"So, you…like her?" Carl asked, still disbelieving.
"Yea…" Jimmy replied embarrassed.
"We've know that since the DAWN OF ULTRALORD!" Sheen exclaimed, pulling his Ultralord doll out of his pocket.
"But…If you knew already, WHY did you ask me?" Jimmy asked confused.
"I just wanted to hear it from you." Sheen replied simply.
"Oh…" Jimmy finished.
"All you can do is just make the best of it, Jim. There's really nothing else you can do about it." Carl said.
"Yea, I guess so…but I still can't help wondering WHY she was so mad." Jimmy wondered.
When Jimmy got home he finished his homework and ate dinner. After that, he thought about what he was going to wear to the dance. After that, he took a shower and then went to bed, with so many different thoughts zipping through his head.
When he woke up the next morning, it was the usual. Go to school, get bugged by Cindy, talk to Carl and Sheen, come home…but tonight was different. Jimmy had to get ready for the dance, but he still wasn't sure what to wear...
"OH MY BABY'S FIRST DANCE!" Judy yelled running into Jimmy's room.
"MOM! MOM!" Jimmy screamed in a squeaky voice.
"What's wrong, baby?" She asked.
"You're cutting off the circulation in my lungs." He squeaked again trying to get out of his mother's air constricting hug.
"I'm sorry. Its just I can't believe how much you're growing up." She replied teary- eyed.
"Yea, but I still don't have anything to wear." Jimmy said.
"Why don't you call one of your friends and ask them. If they don't know what to wear, either, I'll help you find something." Just replied.
"Ok, mom. I'll do that." Jimmy said as his mother walked out.
He walked over to the blue phone and picked it up. He dialed Sheen's number.
"Hello?" Sheen answered.
"Hey, Sheen. What are you wearing to the dance?" Jimmy asked.
"I'm going to wear my tux that I wore to my Aunt's wedding. Oh, yea. My Ultralord tie, too." Sheen replied.
"Ok. I guess I'll wear something like that too." Jimmy said.
"You do that. I'll see you at the dance." Sheen replied.
"Bye." Jimmy finished and hung up the phone.
Jimmy went to his closet and pulled out a black tux that he hardly ever wore. He put it on, along with a red tie. Did I say it had an atom on it? No? Of COURSE it does! It shows his individuality, duh! Well, anyways, this is what happened. After he got dressed, he went downstairs and outside and headed to Cindy's pink colored house. When he walked up the small stairs, he knocked on the big white door. Cindy answered and stepped out with a bored look on her face. Even though for that, it didn't deny the fact how good she looked. Her glittering green gown brought out her eyes, and her hair was up in curls that tumbled downward. Jimmy had to catch his breath, though trying not to make that obvious.
"Let's just get this over with." Cindy said holding out her hand.
Jimmy smiled and gladly took her hand. They walked off the porch and started down the sidewalk toward the school.
"Yo…you look nice C-Cindy." Jimmy stuttered.
"Thanks." Cindy replied blankly.
When they got to the school, they walked over to their friends, finally letting go of one another's hands.
"Hey, Lib. Let's get away from these losers and go dance with some REAL guys." Cindy said.
"Sorry, Cin, but I wanna dance with Sheen." Libby replied.
"Ok, you do that. I'm going to find someone ELSE to dance with. Smell ya later, Nerdtron." Cindy said to Jimmy and walked away.
"Geez, what a date you have, Jim. Bummer…Off to dance with Libby!" Sheen exclaimed and walked away with Libby.
"Yea, same here. I'm gonna go dance, too. I'll talk to you later." Carl stated and walked away.
Jimmy just sighed and watched his friends dance as he stood there and felt his heart sink into a pit that seemed bottomless.
"Hey Nick." Cindy said sweetly as she walked over to Nick Dean.
"Hey, Cindy. What are you doing coming over here?" He asked as a girl cuddled up next to him.
"I wanted to ask you if you wanted to dance." Cindy said, glaring evilly at the girl next to him.
"Oh, I would LOVE to." He said and Cindy smiled.
"…but there are SO many other's that I was going to ask first. I'll contact you when you're needed." He finshed.
Cindy gave him that glare that says 'Oh my Lord, what did you just say?' and stomped angrily away. She started walking towards the door that said 'Roof' of it and pushed in open. Angrily and sadly, she ran up the steps and sat on a little stool on the roof of the gymnasium and cried.
Jimmy sat boredly looking out at the dance floor where all of his friends were dancing with their dates, having a great time. Soon, he got up and walked down a little hallway. He then noticed that the door that read, 'roof' on it was slightly open. Curious, he walked up the stairs to the roof and saw Cindy…crying…slowly and carefully as not to startle her, he walked over to her…
