Hey I'm back finally! Sorry it took me so long to update! Well without further hesitation chapter four….
Chapter 4:I Knew It Was You
The next morning Cindy was completely out of it after a long night of tossing and turning as was Jimmy. Both were going at an unusually slow pace today and both ended up having to walk to school because they missed the bus. They had both left their houses at about the same time so they were walking just about next to each other only on opposite sides of the street. Jimmy couldn't stand it anymore he had to know what was going on so he crossed the street over to Cindy's side to talk to her.
"Cindy, look I need to talk to you,"
"I have nothing to talk to you about,"
"Well I do. I want to know what is going on with you! Why are people telling me things and why are you suddenly completely shunning me! I mean you always hated but that never stopped you from arguing with me now you won't even talk to me!"
"What do you care Neutron! Shouldn't you be happy that I'm not around to annoy you anymore!" Cindy replied on the verge of tears. By this point Jimmy and Cindy weren't even walking down the street anymore now they were just standing there arguing.
"Cindy, that's just it! I do care!" 'I do care….How could I have been so stupid ! I have cared all along…' "Please just tell me what is going on…: he said as his voice softened, "I really want to know."
"You just don't get it do you! They told you! Libby and Brittany told you and you still don't understand! They weren't lying Jimmy, I like you…..a lot! Possibly even love you! Don't you understand! Why do you think I act the way I do all the time! It's all just to be around you, so I can be with you and enjoy your presence. I just can't believe you haven't grasped that concept! For a genius you sure are stupid!"
Jimmy just stood their taking it all in, all the while his eyes wide with shock and his mouth agape. "Oh Cindy, I had no idea….,"
"That's right you didn't!" Cindy was about to stomp off but Jimmy grabbed her wrist. 'Well here it goes…' "Cindy wait. It may have taken me up until now to realize it but I really do care about you. This whole time, I've loved you. That is why I've been feeling these things lately when I heard those unexpected things. That's why I couldn't sleep at night just thinking about you. It's why I just had to talk to you I couldn't stand to have you not talking to me. Do you think if I didn't care that I would be chasing you around like this! You're the one who has been oblivious!"
"Jimmy….I love you too," With that they both leaned in and shared their first kiss. It was fairly passionate considering they were only 11. It held all the emotion that they had kept locked up inside. Some may have said they were too young to be in love but love comes in all forms and at any age.
They both looked into each other's eyes and smiled inwardly for the first time in a while.
"I knew it was you," Cindy said a smile gracing her features.
"You knew I was what?" Jimmy asked clearly confused.
"I knew you were the one for me. I knew it from the first time I looked into your eyes," Jimmy smiled gently back at her and they shared another quick kiss.
"Uhh Cindy not to ruin the moment but I just realized we were supposed to be in school about ten minutes ago…,"
"Oh god! We better hurry!" Cindy said as she grabbed Jimmy's hand and dragged him off to school.
Once they arrived they ran right into Miss Fowl's classroom and received several stares from their classmates.
"Ciiiindy, Jimmy it's nice of you to have cooome," Miss Fowl squawked.
"Sorry we're late Miss Fowl. There was a power outage an our block," Cindy explained.
"Yeah and our alarm clocks weren't running so we overslept,"
"Alriiiight take your seats, BRAAAWK," (A/N:I know most teachers wouldn't believe that and ask for a parent's not or something but Miss Fowl isn't very bright.)
Cindy and Jimmy sat in their seats next to each other . Libby turned to Cindy with a confused expression on her face.
"What really happened girl? What were you two up to?"
"Oh you'll find out soon enough," she replied as she turned to face the front of the classroom with a smile on her face and joy in her heart. Then she glanced over at Jimmy who returned her smile and she finally felt content again.
A/N: Well that's it for this story. If you think I should write another chapter just let me know. Please review!
