I believe it's been a month since I updated last... Oooopsies. Sorry

y'all that seem to care *population of 10 or less -if I'm not mistaken*...

Well, here's another chapter...

Disclaimer: I don't own EE&E, despite my attempts to act like I do.

CHAPTER 15: jimmy, sunday 11:01a.m.

"And then Stevie..." Sarah kept rolling on and on -all about Stevie.

Stevie this, Stevie that! UGH! I took all about I could about Stevie.

Stevie -the perfect. Stevie -the pretty. Stevie -the nice. "Jimmy,"

Sarah shifted the sand in the sandbox we were sitting in. "Are you okay?"

"Ye-" I cut off my voice and thought for a moment. You know why? Because

I wasn't okay! "No Sarah, I'm not okay!"

For the first time in my life, I saw Sarah look scared. "Wh-why not Jimmy?"



"BECAUSE ALL YOU TALK ABOUT IS THIS GIRL STEPHANIE, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!

THAT'S WHY!" Oh my goodness, that was so not me -but it felt good. I

smirked, turned on my heel and left. Surprisingly, Sarah didn't try to stop

me. But then again, everyone at the park -Stevie, Rolf, Kevin, Jonny, Plank,

and Sarah- were all staring at me. I kept walking looking forward and before

I knew it, I somehow ran into Stephanie. "S-s-sorry," I muttered.



She extended a hand to help me up. I took it and her cheerful smile turned

into a frown, "Just wondering Jimmy, but what do you have against me?"



"N-n-nothing. Why Stephanie?"



"B.S." she murmured, looking me straight in the eyes.



I stood straight and looked around. Everyone had their eyes on us, but no one

could hear because they were too far away. "Nothing. What's your proof?" I muttered

all this with my eyes squinted.

Stephanie put her hands on her hips, "Proof? I have proof!" Her voice got louder,

"One, you have been calling me Stephanie! And every time I hear someone say my name,

and you're around -you roll your eyes or shudder!" Stevie's voice was loud and I'm

pretty sure everyone could hear by now. "I'M TIRED OF IT CURLY-HAIR BOY!"



So much for straight posture, mine disappeared. I could feel tears welling in my

eyes, "I'm sorry Stevie." When I said Stevie, instead of Stephanie, I saw her

smile. "To be fair, you've only been her for a day -not even! And I haven't

given the proper time to judge you -I've just gotten tired of Sarah's blabbing."



Stevie smiled even bigger, "And I'm sorry for acting so 'know-it- all' this time...

This isn't my neighborhood, and I shouldn't be running it." Her smile faded a

little, "Truce, Jimmy?" She held out her hand for a shake.



I accepted and smiled, "Truce, Stevie."
