The One Second Kiss

No own Jimmy...heh!

I made you all think that the last ch. Was the last ch..got ya!! Heeeheheheh! Well hope you like this ch.!!

Today is a day that will be different from many others. It's the day that the world will know about me.. Jimmy Nuetron.. A sixteen year old boy.. Who is going to be going to Oxford University. I slam my head on the pillow. I look at the clock.. 2:00 a.m. stupid ... I think about everything back in retroville. I kissed cindy.. I didn't even really think about the consequences.. She will never know how her lips tasted.. They tasted like sugar.. So long awaited sugar I may add.. Obviously she was surprised because she jumped... I feel my lips.. I remember my heart flying... the world was smiling.. My lips are still burning. I didn't even get to say goodbye.... and I close my eyes again and dream of that kiss..the one second kiss.

bark... bark

Goddard barks loudly in my ear. I roll over and gently pet his head.

"Morning boy," I say smiling. Pretending that I am happy the best I can. Goddard's screen pops up with something..

" You miss Cindy a lot don't you?"

" no!"

" Yes you do... I know that you kissed her! You are dwelling on her...just say it Jimmy..you love her more, than even you thought you did!"

" No!"

" yes!"

" FINE!" I throw the pillow at him.. And he barks triumphantly. I think back to the arguments me and Cindy used to have. I do miss her. I get dressed in the clothing that Mrs.Olson has set out for me. I still can't believe I kissed her though! What on earth was I thinking? But then again..she didn't slap me.. She just kind of stood there..but who knows if that's a good or a bad thing... I look at my backpack which is laying on the floor. I pick up my science notes and pet goddard on the head once more for luck..and I head outside to my destiny...to an interview with The person who will be sponsoring me on live T.V.!!! Mrs. Olson brushes my hair and I look into the mirror. All I see is a dead face.. I am living ..but without Cindy.. I have no soul.. She smiles as I fake the best smile I possibly can. My heart feels fake...something is missing.. Of course I know what it is. Nervously I walk onto the set. He ques me.. And off we go..

" Welcome one and all! I am Charles Lengty and today's special report is about a sixteen year old boy genius, who has decided to go to Oxford University. Will you please welcome Jimmy Nuetron!!!" I smile at the people in the audience, they all Ooo and Ahhh...

" So Jimmy, why did you decide to accept this offer? And do you think you will fair well in college?"

" Well Mr. Lengty I am accepting this offer because I thought it would be an excellent opportunity , not all kids get offered this kind of a scholarship..in fact I would say very few do. So I had to jump to the chance." I pause, trying to hide the real reasons for leaving Retroville. " I think I will do very well in college since I already have about a college level knowledge of Science," I say smiling back at him.

" I see, and tell us about yourself, where you plan to go in the feild of Science, what difference do you hope to make?"

" Well." I say nervously. " I am Jimmy Nuetron if you didn't know that, and I hate being called James, only a few people can get away with that. I am recently 16 years of age. I have made my dog Goddard on my own. I have made several other inventions, some of which have had brutal consequences, some which are very handy. I think that I will like to learn all I possibly can about the field. So that I can keep making things, and all of them will be successful. Now you asked where I want to go to the field and what differences I want to make. I want to find a way to make life as simple, emotionless, as possible. I want to find the cures to so many as you say "incurable" diseases. I just want to save the world..but ya have to start small as they always say. I have saved the world quite a few times, but we won't go into that." I smile as Mr. Lengty looks at me. Completely blown away by my through answer.

" Who is your ultimate role model?"

" All the geniuses such as Aristotle, and so many others."

" Do you have any taste in music?"

" Yes , I love rock, science rock..just kidding.. I can play guitar...well the invention I made can at least.."

" Do you have any special girl in your life?"

" Nope, no one.. Just me...well .... there is Miss Candy Sir, and of course Amy, but if you mean locally , no I don't have a girlfriend."

" Well I see, but it's time for the news, we will send you off to the photo shoot, and we will be right back with more of Jimmy Nuetron boy genius!!!" Applause. We sit in complete silence. I smile at him..

" Off with you now boy, you'll be back later, excellent job by the way."

" Thank you Sir." I say as I follow the lady. She starts taking pictures..several in a row. I pose and pose soon my face is permanently screwed on with a smile. I walk away after several outfits and poses. Applause the moment I walk back on. Sure I have to be fake, but hey.

" Welcome back Jimmy! Now before we dismiss you , a few more questions."

" Have you ever been in love? A lot of boys your age are confused about hormones, but I would think with a boy of your genius structuring would be able to resist them..."

" Well , I don't think I have," I say lying. Why oh why must the man lie?

" well then... any more questions?"

" Ahhh! I got one!" a random person said from the audience. " How will you handle all this new fame that will be pushed upon you? And how will you deal with the women?"

" Simple answer Sir, think about what life was like in Retroville, where I was kind of a reject.. All I need to do is think of that.. And I'm level headed!"

" well then you will be escorted outside Immeatiatly, and you will be flown to Oxford University, where a woman will show you the way around!! You will get many an offer and interview! Enjoy the life of women, and fame!" he brushes me off to the side. Sure enough the guards lead me to a helicopter waiting outside for me. Great, I get helicopter sick. But sure enough I convey my worries to the driver and he gives me some sleeping pills. Assuring me all will be alright. I fall once again, asleep, and await my destiny.

When I awoke I saw nothing but sunshine, but then I realized it was a bright light inside the helicopter. I felt it shakily touch the ground. I opened my eyes the rest of the way. The pilot turned around to face me.

" Good your awake, welcome to Oxford University Jimmy,". He says smiling broadly at me. I climb out. My legs a little bit like jelly. Just then a woman with long black hair meets me. She looks...sexy...I giggle a little bit as she introduces herself as Mrs. Glenworth, she would be showing me around the school, and showing me my dorm rooms.

" This is where you'll be staying," she said pointing to a room. A very large room. With the words, "Genius Residence" on top. "It's where all the resident geniuses stay, of course you're the youngest, but that's a given. They roll my stuff into the room. "Your first class is tomorrow morning, and your uniform is in the suitcase. Enjoy your stay here Jimmy!" She smiles as she walks out. I just smile. I throw myself on the bed. This is going to be very interesting...

My first class is Science and Technology. I nervously introduce myself. I feel so unlike myself. I am wearing what every body else is. A few of the girls are checking me out. The teacher is really weird and is very prone to repeating himself. I just smile and take notes. My life begins... my dead life..my love free life. The rest of the day is slow, and I give many people my age, number, whatever. Random useless information.. But all I can think about..is Cindy.. And the one second kiss...

My heart plunges, so far, I think it went right through the floor. I stare at Jimmy's empty seat. It's been over a week now since he left. I watched that stupid interview with him. He looked so good.. He seemed so smart. I was surprised he didn't mention Betty on it. I coldly stare at it. I refuse to take my eyes off it. As though he would appear if I keep wishing he was there. I know he won't. The teachers words have no meaning.. The endless assignments go through me, to somewhere inside my brain where all I feel is pain. I touch my lips. He kissed me.. I didn't even know why, or how.. I just am so confused. Nick says that he did that because he was uncertain of what he wanted to do.. And he kissed me to remember why he was leaving. Personally I think Nick was just jealous that someone other than him got to kiss me. And that he's not mine anymore.. The bell for lunch rings. I look at his empty locker.. A irreplaceable ache is in me, to dig in it.. To run to Oxford University.. To tell him he has to come back to Retroville..... I kick my locker angrily as it will not open. Libby walks up to me. A very confused look on her face.

" If ya miss him that much, go get him!"

" You don't get it do you? He's gone Libby! There's no way he'll come back!" I kick my locker again. I reach for my books and stuff them angrily into my pink sling on back-pack. I throw it angrily over my shoulder, slam the locker and almost run home. When I reach the house. It's Monday.. Almost two weeks ago, he would've been here... I slowly walk to the window.. I stare at the empty room across the street. I wonder how his family is dealing with this. His lab obviously hasn't been touched. A tear falls from my eye as I look at the empty street..but what I see below me... surprises me... nothing.. Usually Nuetron would be hanging on the street below my window... and I would stare out at him.. Without him knowing. Again I catch myself feeling my lips. All I can seem to think about this week, or two weeks, whatever it's been.. Is Jimmy..and the one second kiss...

Sorry such a short ch. Guys.. But I want you to know that they were both thinking about that kiss....so ya.. -kTe-
