A/N: Finally my 4th chapter is up, so glad people like the story so far. I do appreciate your suggestions. I plan on making this story move on a bit faster thanthe stories I've written in the past so when it's all done, just let me know if you think the moving along thing worked alright or if I should definately add much more detail.

She walked in the room about 10 minutes after class had started.
"Where have you been, Ms. Vortex?" her teacher, Mrs. Froigan, asked.
"I'm sorry, I had to use the bathroom," Cindy lied.
"Very well, just have a seat."
Cindy took the seat she'd sat in 15 years ago and tried to remember anything she could about what she'd learned in math back then.
Halfway into class, Cindy pulled the paper out from her pocket and slowly unfolded it so that hopefully no one would hear it.
"It's an emergency; I need to talk to you.
Meet me by the snack machines upstairs
in the hallway with rooms 101-115
at 1:15"
What was she up to? Wait...that was where she'd caught Jimmy and Betty before. Could Jimmy have secretly been cheating on her? And this was Betty's sick way of flirting with him and seducing him into meeting her for a little lip lock? Ugh, the nerve of that guy.
Cindy crumpled up the note and threw it in the trash can on her way out the door when the class was over. It was a little bit after 9 when she sat down in her seat in Social studies.
Wait, Cindy thought. If Jimmy doesn't get the note, then there's no way I can really tell if he was actually cheating on me... If I put the note back in his locker and then get to that hallway before Betty or Jimmy does, I should be able to find out for sure...at least in theory. Crap, I left the note in the trash can in math!
"Excuse me!" Cindy raised her hand and called out to Mr. Buchanik.
"Yes?" he replied in a bored tone.
"May I please be excused?"
"To where?"
"The nurse. I think I'm gonna throw up!" Cindy screeched in a panicky voice.
"Yes, you can go." he said and wrote Cindy a pass so she wouldn't need to fool with getting her agenda out.
Cindy grabbed the pass on her way out the door and ran down the hallway to where her 1st period class had been. Luckily, there wasn't a class in there for 2nd period so no one was in there at all. Cindy went into the room and found the crumpled up note to still be on the top of the trash can. She snatched it up and ran through the school to Jimmy's locker. She uncrumpled the note, refolded it, put it back in Jimmy's locker and raced back to class.
"Did you throw up?" the teacher asked as Cindy walked in the door.
"Um, no. The nurse gave me some crackers. I'm okay now."
"Good, now as I was saying..."
Cindy glanced up at the clock. 9:48. And the time kept ticking on...
