Chapter 3:

Summer

It was real wasn't it…..

Me and you….

We were just two kids…

But we really loved each other….

Right….?

Flames. Fire. Smoke. Everywhere. That's all he could see. He had to find a way out somehow. Why couldn't he remember where the exits were. He used them everyday. Why did this happen?

"Goddard!" Jimmy called out "Goddard are you in here!" No. He forgot Goddard never entered the lab with him that day. There a red light! Jimmy moved quickly toward it hoping to make it out before another explosion. Jimmy raced for the door the smoke overcoming him. BOOM! He was out. Jimmy pushed the fire alarm on the outside door of his lab. His robots should make sure the fire gets put out. Jimmy coughed up a storm and looked at his hands. There was something about them. Something strange. What had gone wrong? He had planned everything perfect. He was lucky to come out alive.

"Jimmy!" a blonde girl said racing toward him.

"Hey Cindy" Jimmy replied blankly.

"Oh my gosh are you alright I heard a loud boom and I wa"

"I'm fine Cin" Jimmy said cutting her off.

Cindy just looked at him and sighed, "You don't look fine"

"It was just a bad experiment that's all" Jimmy replied trying not to worry Cindy.

"Ok Jim whatever you say" Cindy replied not fully believing him.

"Well anyways are you ready?" Jimmy said smiling

"Yeah I just gotta go get my purse" Cindy said.

"You don't need it where were going" Jimmy replied.

"Girls never go anywhere without there purses" Cindy said like Jimmy was dumb.

Jimmy sighed "Let me go get cleaned up and I'll meet you out here in 15"

"Ok" Cindy replied walking back to her house. When Jimmy was out of earshot she silently whispered, "Gotta love him."

Cindy waited outside by Jimmy's car. Jimmy soon appeared wearing khaki pants, a gray t-shirt (with his trademark symbol on it, what else?) and a plaid green button up shirt, only it was unbuttoned, and to top it all off some blue high top chucks.

"Come on" Jimmy said

"Where are we going?" replied Cindy

"Oh you know, here there, the stars" Jimmy said taking Cindy's hand and leading her to the backyard

"What are you up to James" Cindy replied laughing. Jimmy helped Cindy into the backseat of his rocket, and they took off to the stars. When they were far enough into space Jimmy stopped the rocket and turned around to Cindy.

"Cindy we need to talk" Jimmy said

Cindy immediately turned all her attention to Jimmy "What?" she said.

"No, No, it's not anything like breaking up" Jimmy quickly replied.

"Phew you had me worried there for a minute" Cindy said laughing.

"Cindy I'm just going to come out and say it…I'm…I'm…lea…I'm…leaving"

"Leaving? What do you mean"?

"I got a scholarship to a school for well…geniuses and its what I've always wanted"

"Well how long are you going to be gone"?

"That's the thing I don't know…they said anywhere from a couple months to 5 years"

"5 years" Cindy said tears beginning to form in her eyes "You'll miss your senior year"

"I could graduate now if I wanted to Cindy…I am a genius" Jimmy said trying to make Cindy laugh, but his attempt failed. "Do you want me to go"?

"Of course I do you've always wanted to go to a school with other kids like you"

"And there's another thing…I can't have any contact with my family and friends"

"What! That's ridiculous!" Cindy shouted loud enough Jimmy swore earth had to hear her.

"I know I know but that's how it is" Jimmy said

"well I..I…I.." Cindy sighed knowing she wanted Jimmy to stay. But he wanted to go so bad. "When do you leave?"

Jimmy began smiling "Thank you thank you thank you!"

"Just promise me you'll hurry back" Cindy said.

Jimmy's smile ceased into a frown. "There's one more thing Cindy"

"What" Cindy said.

"I don't want you to wait for me…I…I want you to see other people…It could be 5 years before I come back…I don't want you to waste your time….just waiting for me"

"….No…No" Cindy said allowing the tears beginning to fall from her eyes.

" Look I promise you that I will hurry back as soon as I can but you have to promise not to wait for me"

After a long pause. Cindy sighed "ok"

"Thank you" Jimmy said silently. Jimmy could feel tears beginning to surface from his eyes. Then Jimmy looked at Cindy causing Cindy to look up. They just stared at each other. Jimmy then leaned over as Cindy leaned in and they shared one kiss that they would never forget. Till this day Jimmy swore when right when they kissed the stars just seemed to shine a little brighter.
