6:36 am, Friday, April 9th
I don't know why I woke up so early. I was so tired last night, I should have slept longer. I haven't started getting ready for school yet. It's really early, I have plenty of time. Like maybe, 20 free minutes so I should be ok.
I gotta think of something to do about Nick and about Jimmy. God, why can't Jimmy and Betty just break up, or Betty move out of town or fall off a cliff or something? Just make life simple? And about Nick...
Nick would seriously hurt me if I told anyone about what he's done. Oh God, I don't wanna go to school. I don't want to see Nick; I don't want to see Jimmy. I don't want to see anyone.
5:24 pm, Friday, April 9th
Oh God, so many different things happened to me today, my head is spinning. While I was walking to school, Nick rode up to me on his motor scooter.
"Get on," he said.
"Nick, I really feel like walking today. It's nothing against you, I swear it isn't. I wanna just take it slow this morning. You know, enjoy the peaceful morning. Enjoy nature and the flowers blooming in the gardens. The birds flying from one tree to another."
I guess that got to him because he just drove off mumbling. Haha...
I got to school but people weren't going in yet. Nick had parked his motor scooter and to my dismay, found me. I walked to the doors of the school with Nick's arm around my waist.
"Hi, Cindy." Jimmy said as he and Betty walked up to us.
"Hi," I said.
Jimmy elbowed Betty in her side and mumbled something to her.
"Oh, hi. Cindy..." Betty sputtered.
I cocked one eyebrow and said, "...Hi."
Luckily the bell rang and I didn't have to spend anymore time with those people but Nick still walked me to my locker.
"I don't wanna go out with you today," he told me.
"Alright," I said. "Does that mean you're breaking up with me?"
Nick smirked and looked at me with a strangely terrifying expression. "Not on your life,"
He walked away and I just tried to calm myself down as quietly as I could.
What was that supposed to mean? Did he actually mean it that way? What could he possibly want to do to me...?
The rest of the day passed by pretty quickly and lunch came. Jimmy was at Betty's table again. Everyone but Jimmy was at our table.
"Hi, Nick!" Carl said.
"Hey," Libby said and smiled. Sheen elbowed her in her side and they both laughed.
"Hi, Cindy." Nick looked down at me. Somehow, I sensed a sinister aura about him. I don't think anyone else noticed it but it was there. I knew it was.
"...Hi, Nick." I said meekly.
Nick sat down next to me and immediately started talking.
"I got a new stereo system last night. My parents ordered it for me when I told them I wanted a new one. I was getting tired of the other one, ya know? They gave me an iPod, too."
"Wow, cool." Brittany swooned.
"An iPod? As in, hundreds and hundreds of songs, playing non-stop?" Libby said, wide-eyed.
"Yup," Nick grinned.
"That is...so cool..." Libby was practically speechless.
"Anyways, I gotta go. See you guys later," Nick said. "Bye, Cindy."
I looked at him and he had this evil little smirk on his face.
"Bye,"
Nick walked back into the building and it was back to our normal, quiet table. I was just becoming interested in the cafeteria pizza I was eating when someone came up behind me. I turned around and it was Betty.
"What do you want?" I snapped.
"Don't come near my boyfriend. I don't give a shit if you think you're his friend or not, he's mine. Got that? He don't need some social outcasts like you and your friends bringing him down. He's got me; he's got our friends, so back off. You got that bitch?" Betty snarled at me.
"How the hell are you gonna tell me not to go near a friend of mine? For God's sakes, you're his girlfriend, not his mother!"
"I'm warning you right now," Betty said.
"Get a life, I'll be his friend whether you like it or not. I can hang out with whoever the hell I want and it's none of your goddamn business," I said.
Betty then tried to grab my hair but I moved out of her way. I leaned back in my seat and kicked her in her stomach. She doubled over in pain but when I thought she was going to give up and leave me alone she came back.
She grabbed my hair and started yanking my head around. I grabbed her arms and twisted them until she couldn't move.
By now everyone was watching us and talking and laughing. Jimmy ran up to us.
"Betty! Cindy! For God's sakes what the hell are you doing?" Jimmy said, confused.
"Ask your girlfriend!" I yelled as I fended Betty off. "She's gone mad! She says that you can only be friends with and hang out with her and her friends. Then she started threatening me and shit..."
Betty smacked me in my face and I grabbed her hair and pulled her head back until she started walking backwards. Then I positioned myself to trip her. I stuck my foot out behind her, she didn't know and she tripped and fell over.
She got back up but Jimmy intervened.
"Ok! That's enough!" he put a hand on each of our shoulders. One on Betty, one on me. I glared at Betty and then looked at Jimmy and listened to him talk. "Cindy, you gotta calm down, seriously. Betty, I told you about this before. You aren't going to control who I do and don't hang out with. I'll be friends with your friends but you have to accept my friends ok?" Jimmy reasoned.
"No! Are you kidding? Those...things? I'd never even think of it! All I want is you, Jimmy. Don't you want to be popular?" Betty said.
"...I did before. That's the only reason I let you keep me from my friends but this is ridiculous. You can have your popularity. I don't care anymore." I could tell Jimmy was getting fed up.
"Jimmy...please. Let's talk," Betty said.
"You mean, 'let's make out so hopefully Jimmy will forget this happened'? I don't think so. Get a life you slut. I'm tired of this. We're over." Jimmy said.
"Fine!" Betty glared at Jimmy, then me. Then she stormed away and the cafeteria exploded into laughter.
"Are you ok?" Jimmy asked me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. You know I kicked her ass," I laughed.
"Ok then, now that that's over..." Sheen said.
"You back here again?" I asked.
"Haha, yeah," Jimmy and I sat down and we all talked for the rest of the lunch period.
After lunch I went to my locker. There way no sign of Nick, so that was a good sign. I didn't see him for the rest of the day. I don't know where he went. He probably got picked up early by his mom. I don't really care...
It seems kind of weird to me that I can defend myself against Betty but I can't defend myself against Nick. Well, then again, cat-fighting isn't really going to help me much against Nick...I don't know anymore...
Jimmy isn't going out with Betty anymore! I'm so happy! Now I have a chance! Well, actually not until I get rid of Nick... But finally! Jimmy and Betty are over...
I've hesitated much too many times, and I won't let you slip away from me, no. I know you're for me and me for you. But I don't know what to say or to do. So now that we're together I'm telling you::
[A/N: ok, I know some parts in there were kinda corny and might have moved a little fast but i hope you guys liked it anyway. its not over yet though. this is just getting to the 2nd quarter of the story kind of lol. And don't worry, I'm gonna keep it going long. This chapter didn't reach how long I expected it to be but that's ok, ill just make up for it with chapter 4. Don't forget to R&R!]
