Cindy woke up to her alarm clock first. She complained that she did not
have enough sleep because of last night. She did what she usually does
every morning. She took a shower, looked franticly through her closet for
some clothes and went downstairs for some breakfast. When she ran down the
stairs, into the kitchen, she found that her mother was a little depressed.
"Hi mom" she said cheerily.
"Oh!" She said not knowing she was here "Hi dear. Breakfast is on the table."
Cindy set down and looked happy with her plate of bacon and eggs. She started to eat happily and then she asked her mother a question.
"Mom are you O.K. You don't seem like yourself today."
"I'm O.K. Just a little tired from last night."
Cindy felt that her mother lied. But before she could ask her mother another question, she heard the bus coming.
"Bye mom," she said as she was about to leave the house. Then she remembered something. "Mom, before I forget, I'll be a little late today because I have rehearsal after school."
"Oh, O.K. dear," she said flatly.
Cindy ran out of the door fast enough to notice a sound in her mother's voice.
~At Jimmy's House~
Jimmy woke up to the sound of his alarm clock.
"Lift off in 3. 2. 1. Blast off."
"Abort mission! Abort mission!" Jimmy screamed while hitting his alarm clock. Then he looked at the time at his clock, which was now dented. The time was 7:45. "I'm going to be late for the bus. I can't believe it is morning. I still feel tired from last night." He ran downstairs so fast that he almost did not have to brush his teeth. He ran downstairs into the kitchen, grabbed a piece of toast and ran for the door.
"Hi, mom. Hi, dad." He said while eating the toast quickly "Sorry I can't eat something else, but I'm late for the bus. I'm going to be a little late today because of rehearsal! Bye!" He ran out of the house so fast that he did not even notice that his parents felt depressed. As he ran to the bus stop he kept telling to himself "Please don't let the bus go!"
As he ran he saw that the people riding the bus were still there.
"Yes," he said to himself as he ran faster as the bus came.
As he ran to the bus he ran into Cindy.
"Well.," said Cindy "if it isn't Nerdtron on time for the bus."
"Yeah I'm on time today Vortex," he said while sticking his tongue out. Then they went on the bus. While looking for a spot on the bus Jimmy was surprised that Carl and Sheen was sitting with Libby.
"Carl! Sheen! What are you doing sitting with Libby!"
"Well," said Carl a little scared "me and Sheen called you last night and you weren't there so we thought you were sick or something. Because last time we called and you weren't there you were sick"
"But why Libby."
"I don't know. Sheen forced me."
Sheen blushed a little.
"Ha. Ha. Carl you are such a kidder."
"Well any way where am I supposed to sit."
"Look around."
While Jimmy looked around the bus started to move so he had to sit quickly. He looked behind the seat of Carl, Sheen and Libby to find an empty seat next to Cindy. He walked over to Cindy and asked "Can I sit here?"
"Must you sit here?"
"There's no other seat."
"Fine."
Jimmy sat down next to Cindy and said in a quiet voice, "Hey Cindy. What happened last night will never be repeated again?"
"Deal."
"What happened last night?"
Jimmy and Cindy looked up and found that Libby was looking over her seat and had a smirk on her face.
"So. Fess up." She said a little louder as Carl and Sheen heads came into view.
"Should we tell them?" asked Jimmy.
"They're going to find out sooner or later."
So Jimmy and Cindy told them about the trip to the "Olive Garden" and the dance, but they left out the part about the spaghetti and the kiss (of course).
"So your parents took you to the "Olive Garden" for you two getting the lead parts in the play," said Sheen.
"But I can't believe you two danced together," said Libby.
"How did your parents get you to dance together," said Carl.
"Well." started Cindy and Jimmy. But as they were about to answer the question the bus stopped in front of the school and they ran out so fast that all Carl, Sheen, and Libby could see were their smoke after- image.
"You think that they are not telling us something?" asked Carl.
"Obviously," said Sheen.
"And that's just the reason to try and find out what it is," said Libby with a smirk.
The school day was boring like everyday. Ms. Fowl just seemed speak very slowly today and nothing happened today but lectures and a boring movie. Jimmy and Cindy caught some sleep from the last night during the movie. Everyone couldn't believe that the two smartest people in the school feel asleep during the movie.
"Sheen," whispered Libby "what do you think Jimmy and Cindy are hiding I don't know but we will ask them at lunch."
The bell rang and the whole class ran to the cafeteria for lunch. Jimmy got out of line and found that every seat was taken except a table where Cindy was sitting by herself. Jimmy walked over and asked can he sit there.
"Are you stalking me?" asked Cindy.
"Not after last night."
"Fine you can sit here."
After he sat down Carl, Sheen and Libby came over and sat down.
"Libby?" said Cindy "why are these two losers here?"
"I asked them to. Now we know that you are not telling us something. So spill."
"We are not telling you anything," said Jimmy.
"And if you ask one more time, I will use my tai chi. Even on you Libby."
"Okay. Okay," said Libby and they sat down to eat.
On the way back to the classroom, Libby stayed behind.
"Are you coming, Libby?" said Cindy.
"Yeah. I just need to talk to Carl and Sheen."
Carl and Sheen looked at each other and walked towards Libby. Cindy looked curious but she did not want to be late.
"Okay. Just don't be late for class."
Libby didn't talk until she was sure that Jimmy and Cindy walked into the crowd and was not in earshot.
"Okay, here is what I figured out. It must be something she does not want me to know because she only threatens me with tai chi when it is something juicy."
"So, when can we ask them again?" said Sheen.
"I heard that after rehearsal today we are going to the Candy Bar."
"How did you hear about that?" asked Carl.
"While I was walking in this morning I heard him make reservations for the Candy Bar."
"So we will ask them at the Candy Bar," said Sheen.
"Right," answered Libby and they walked back to class.
The rest of the day was so boring with Ms. Fowl lectures that she did not even notice that most of the class was asleep. When the bell rang everybody ran out of the class very fast. The cast of the play went to the auditorium for rehearsal. When they got there Mr. Davis was waiting for them.
"Welcome to the first day of rehearsal," he said with a smile. "Now we will start with costumes." He snapped his fingers and in came a beautiful woman. Nick couldn't believe how beautiful she was. She looked 12- years- old with black hair and green eyes. "This is my daughter, Ebony. She will be our costume designer. Now, will the boys line up on the right and the girls on the left."
They did what they were told and was wondering what costumes they were going to wear.
"Now I will do the girl's first," said Ebony. "Now follow me."
The girls followed Ebony into the back room and in thirty minutes they came out. Next she said the boys follow her but this time Mr. Davis came into the back room with them. After about forty minutes later they came out but this time he had Nick's shirt neck in his left hand.
"Well," said Mr. Davis "instead of rehearsing with the rest of the time why don't we go to the Candy Bar for a snack. Except for you Nick. You go home."
Libby leaned over and asked Sheen a question, "What happened with Nick?"
"He made a move on Ebony and Mr. Davis is mad at him," said Sheen with a grin.
Nick ran home and they laughed. Then they went into Mr. Davis's mini van and went to the Candy Bar.
"Five to a table," said Mr. Davis as everyone ran towards a table.
Carl, Sheen, Libby, Jimmy and Cindy took one table. As Sam gave them a chocolate sundae each.
"So." said Libby with a smirk "when are you going to tell us about what happened last night."
Jimmy bit his spoon while Cindy bent her spoon.
Now Cindy's eyes were now blood red.
"We told you we're not going to tell you."
"Okay," said Libby nervously.
They continued to eat their sundaes and Mr. Davis drove them home. When Mr. Davis dropped Cindy and Jimmy home they talked.
"So," started Jimmy "why do you think Carl, Sheen and Libby want to know what happened last night?"
"Maybe because I tell Libby everything and she asked Carl and Sheen for help."
"Don't you have some sort of diary to write this stuff in, Instead of trusting people with your secrets?"
"No, because unlike you, I trust people."
"I trust people, just not with my secrets."
"Why?"
"Because I know people can hardly keep secrets."
"You are very sad."
"Nice comeback, Vortex."
"Yes, I know it was."
"See you, Vortex."
"See you, Nerdtron."
Then they walked to their houses.
"Hi mom" she said cheerily.
"Oh!" She said not knowing she was here "Hi dear. Breakfast is on the table."
Cindy set down and looked happy with her plate of bacon and eggs. She started to eat happily and then she asked her mother a question.
"Mom are you O.K. You don't seem like yourself today."
"I'm O.K. Just a little tired from last night."
