Jimmy had to sort his thoughts out aloud, which he couldn't do here because, well it's a public bathroom, anyone could just walk in. He also knew that he couldn't just leave Shelby and go home to his lab where not even Sheen, Carl, or his parents could get in. 'Ok I stay, split a ice cream, then ask if she is ready to go. No she's smarter than that. I could be honest with her, nah I don't want to hurt her feelings. I wish Goddard were here, he'd give me the perfect idea.'

Jimmy walked out of the bathroom knowing he'd been in there a few minutes to long.

"Are you ok?" Shelby asked. Jimmy could tell she was genuinely worried about him.

"I'm fine, want a ice cream?"

"Are you sure? And I think I'd like a shake instead, if that's ok with you."

"Positive, and that's fine."

"Thanks, and you can talk you know."

"Thanks. Waiter, I'd like a Strawberry smoothie and a," he looked at Shelby as if asking what flavor.

"Strawberry-banana."

"Strawberry banana shake."

"Ok, I'll be right back." The waiter said and hurried off.

'I wonder what Cindy's up to?' Jimmy asked. He could tell that Nick was trying to talk to her but for once Cindy didn't care.

"So anyways I just went to get my hair restyled and my hairstylist quit. I cannot believe she would quit without telling me.

"Um-hum," Cindy mumbled. 'Neutron doesn't seem to be enjoying his date either. I wonder why.'

"Are you ok?"

Cindy could tell Nick obviously didn't care. "Yep."

"Just curious cause you haven't touched your chocolate shake at all. And I know how much you like those."

'Shows how much he cares, he didn't ask me what song I wanted to play on the juke box, what kind of food I want, anything. I like strawberry shakes not chocolate shakes! Jimmy would have asked, he did for Miss Smarty over there.'

"I guess I am just not hungry. I have to go to the bathroom to fix my hair."

"Your hair's fine."

"It's, too dry, I have to moisten it up."

"Ok, go ahead. Can I have your shake?"

"Sure, I'll be right back." 'Is that all he cares about? That he gets a stupid shake?'

'Cool, my favorite, well duh, I ordered it.'

Cindy went to the restroom and stood in front of the mirror to sort out her thoughts.
