- CHAPTER 26 - "So much to tell"
Jimmy, Carl, Sheen and Libby were sitting at the Candy Bar on a table, drinking their deserves.
"So, Jimmy, tell us, what did you do? Where did you go? Did you bring something??!?!?" Sheen asked.
"But, Sheen, don't you remember the time we went to Ne--" Carl attemped to ask, but Sheen interrumped.
"Please, ignore Carl, he's excited to hear your story" Sheen said, as he gave a threatening look to Carl. "Right, fatty guy?".
Carl looked at Sheen and Libby and nodded. Jimmy looked at them, blanky.
"Well, let's see... I went to New York, I found a job as a teacher" Jimmy said, as he numbered the things he did with his fingers. "I helped two idiots to raise their IQ, I made a date with a girl with high IQ and a depression and made her my girlfriend for a while. Then, she dumped me when she got the opportunity".
"What happened with your job?" Libby asked.
"The principal was a good guy, but he was a bunch of nerves. So, I've invented a pill to make him more calm. During the last 6 years, I was the teacher of his school" Jimmy explained. "But one day, I was too ocuppied in teaching a chemistry class. And the principal forgot his pills. Too bad, because that day, one of my students accidentaly combined osmium hydroxide plus rubidic acid".
"And what's the deal with that?" Sheen asked.
"Yeah, did he made a cookie of something?" Carl asked.
"No, no. Much worse. The hole school blasted and we were covered with a strange green glime. When the principal found out this, he first fired me, and then, he had a heart attack. I had to call an ambulance and police and stuff..." Jimmy replied.
"Did he make it?" Libby asked.
"Yeah, what happened to the green glime principal guy?!?" Sheen asked.
"The doctors had to clean him first and they made him a bypass, but he recovered with the run of the days" Jimmy replied.
"Ohh... that's kinda... creepy" Libby said, making a disgusting look.
"Hey, where's Cindy?" Jimmy asked.
"Well, you see... she wasn't the same after you left" Libby replied.
"Why?" Jimmy asked, a little concerned.
"She stopped hanging out with us. All she does is locking in her bedroom by the nights, crying. Sometimes she let me in, but when I try to talk to her, she changes me the subject" Libby said.
"And what happened to her boyfriend? That guy, Paul?" Jimmy asked.
"Didn't ya know, Jimmy?!?" Sheen said. "When she knew you left, she dumped Paul!".
"What?!? Are you guys serious?!" Jimmy said, as he stood up of the chair he was sitting.
"Yeah, Jim. And you lost the part when she drew him a brick!" Carl said. "That was funny!".
"DOn't remember me that, Carl, that still makes me laugh!" Sheen said, cracking a smile, but he tried to keep the most serious posibble.
Jimmy almost laughed imagining Cindy running Paul with a brick.
"And if you want to know more, the doctors said that Paul had amnesia after Cindy drew him the brick. So he doesn't even remember who you are! Plus, he lost 15 of his brain, so he's now a total idiot!" Libby said.
"Amnesia?! That's great!" Jimmy said, still stood up.
"What do you mean with great?" Libby asked, blanky.
"He doesn't know who I am, so he'll never remember about our fight, or Cindy. I'm not the coward or the nerd anymore!" Jimmy said, with a smile.
"And they missed you really around here" Sheen said.
"So was Cindy" Carl finished.
"Cindy?" Jimmy asked, softly. "She... missed me?".
"You got no idea..." Libby said, as she sighed. She looked at Jimmy with angry and sadness in her eyes. "Why do you think she's not the same anymore, huh?".
Jimmy was in shock. All this time, Cindy loved him.
"I gotta go" Jimmy said, still shocked.
He run out of the Candy Bar as quickly as he could.
