Chapter two:- Secrets and Truths

my holiday present to u is the 2nd chapter on the same day u get the first!

Cindy hit her snooze button one too many times in the morning, she missed the bus. Jimmy also missed the bus but what else is new? Jimmy ran up next to Cindy and gently took her hand but she quickly pulled back as she yelled "What do you think you're doing Nerdtron?!"

"Cin, no one's here."

"Oh." She laughed a little and then held his hand in apoligy. She leaned her head on his shoulder for a second. "People could still be watching us though." She sighed forgetting about reality for a moment.

"Cindy...do you like to hold my hand or lean on me?"

"Yes...which sounds a little funny..."

"Then why don't you want to be able to do that no matter who's looking?"

"I do. It's I want to but I don't want people making fun of me or you."

"Who says they will?"

"Can we just not talk about this now?" Cindy let go of his hand and walked a little ahead of him. "I'll see you after school." Jimmy waved then watched her run up to Libby. He sighed as he approached Sheen and Carl.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Jimmy." They said. They walked into the classroom. "Dude, what's with you?" Sheen asked as they sat down. Jimmy acted stupid and looked at him funny. "Okay first, you're looking at Cindy...second you're really quiet."

"Nothing...I think maybe I'm getting sick." Jimmy's thoughts were completly off topic in school. He wasn't able to consentrate well. He looked over at Cindy and she was whispering to Libby, how could she act like there was nothing going on?

"Hey what's up with you?" Libby asked

"Up? Nothing why?"

"Well it's been half the day and you haven't said anything about Jimmy." Libby was starting to get the idea of what was going on when Cindy's eyes opened wide.

"He hasn't given me a clear shot yet." She studdered. Libby shook her head and mumbled to herself a little. 'Man I'm not to good at this.' Cindy thought. Her eyes turned to Jimmy who was looking at her. The bell rang for lunch and Cindy thought this was a good time to yell, "What are you looking at Nerdtron!?" Cindy smiled at Jimmy when everyone was looking at him.

"Oh I was just wondering why you were looking at me!" He smiled back as everyone turned their heads back to Cindy.

"I was not!"

"Then how did you know I was looking at you?" Cindy shook her head and walked up to him. "Case closed Vortex..." Cindy turned away and brushed his hand with hers veyr quickly as she walked away. "See there's nothing wrong with me if I still fight with her." He said to Sheen.

"Okay dude whatever."

The rest of the day went by smoothly not to mant people suspected anything. Cindy and Jimmy "accidently" missed the bus and had to walk home together. There was no one around so they held hands as they walked. They were pretty quiet the entire way but neither of them cared.

"Do you want to come over?" Jimmy asked breaking the silence

"Sure. I just have to give Libby a quick call." She whipped out her cell phone and called Libby, "Hey Libs. I need to cancel our plans for today. I have to..." She couldn't think of anything to say as a good excuse.

"Tai-chi class?" Jimmy offered up

"I have a Tai-chi class. I'll call you later. Okay...bye."

"So...?"

"She's okay with it. Why wouldn't she be?"

"I don't know. C'mon lets head upstairs." He said as they approached his front door. "My mom and dad are out back." They set their backpacks down and sat on his bed. "Cindy, I think this is a bad idea."

"How can this be bad?" She asked a little confused "We're not even holding hands." Jimmy laughed a little.

"No I ment...I ment about hiding our relationship." Cindy sighed not wanting to talk about it. "I mean c'mon Sheen even knew there was something going on. And that's saying something."

"Yeah I know...Libby noticed too." Cindy sighed agian realizing she was fighting a loosing battle. "Alright...we can start telling people."

"Thank you. So now I can hold your hand when people are around?"

"Yes." Cindy giggled then pulled Jimmy in for a kiss. Jimmy ran his hands down her back and rested them at her waist.

"Jim Jam...Oh!" Hugh walked into Jimmy's room while they were still kissing. "Well okay...I think I'll just leave now..."

"Well there's one person..." Jimmy laughed as they turned red.
