sorry it has taken so long for me to write a new chapter, but my computer was messing up, and I couldn't get on the internet, so there's my reason. anyway, since it's been a while, I'll try to put the next two chapters on one after the other.Well here goes...chapter 21

-

Everyone sat in the hover car, and they were all ready to go. Cindy and Jimmy sat in the front, while Sheen, Carl, and Libby sat in the back with Tara. Libby decided that she would tutor Tara about Earth, while on the way home.

"So, Tara, it there anything that you want to know about Earth?" asked Libby.

"Not really. I mean, most stuff I can learn while on Earth, or in a library, but I did want to ask you a personal question..." said Tara.

"Uh, sure." said Libby.

"Well, can you keep a secret? Actually, it's not really a secret thanks to my big mouthed sister, but anyway." said Tara.

"Of course I can keep a secret." said Libby. Libby loved gossip and secrets, but she never broke a promise.

"Well, I like Jimmy, you know as more than a friend." said Tara.

"Uh hu..." said Libby, but she already didn't like where the conversation was going.

"I was just wondering. Cindy claims to hate him, but I could tell that she was lying. What exactly is going on between those two?" asked Tara.

"I hope this trip will take a while, because you asked me a tough question." said Libby.

"I'm pretty sure that we have enough time." said Tara.

"Ok, I'll start from the beginning. Jimmy moved to town a couple of years ago. Before that, Cindy was at the top of the class, and she was the smartest kid in town. When Jimmy came, Cindy was knocked out of the spotlight. That's the reson that part of Cindy dislikes Jimmy so much." said Libby.

"I'm listening." said Tara.

"Ok, this part is kind of personal, so you can't tell a soul." said Libby.

Tara nodded her head in agreement.

"Cindy's parents have always taken notice of her good grades and all of her other talents." said Libby. "Ever since Jimmy has been in town, thought, Cindy hasn't been at the top of the class , so her parents don't pay as much attention to her as they did." said Libby.

"Oh..." said Tara.

"Well, It gets even stranger. Cindy and Jimmy have been throught a lot together through the years. They helped rescue our parents from the Yolkians. Then the Yolkians visited Earth, and Cindy had to convince the town that Jimmy was telling the truth about them still being evil. Let's see, then there was the thing with your sister. Jimmy also saved Cindy when she was kidnapped...so as you can see they've been through a lot." said Libby.

"So, what else?"

"They have claimed to hate each other for the entire time that they've known each other. Of course, they're both just afraid to admit that they like each other. That was until they actually did. Cindy and Jimmy told each other how they felt, but they still pretend like nothing happened. "

"So, what are they afraid of?" asked Tara.

"I think that they are afraid of what everyone else will think" said Libby.

"That's dumb! I mean why should they care what everyone else thinks. You and Sheen like each other, and you're not afraid of what everyone else thinks." said Tara.

"That's kind of different. Sheen's my boyfriend. And besided, no one would actually care, Cindy has just made herself think that." said Libby.

"I'll tell you one think. Cindy better hurry up and make up her mind about wheter or not she likes him...because..." but Tara didn't get to finish because she was interrupted by Jimmy's announcement that they had arrived.
