It's been three weeks since school started and Melinda is still mad at Jimmy for what he did but has never been able to get him due to his friends and teachers.
Meanwhile Jimmy's grades are slipping, while all through elementary and middle school he had straight A's his grades aren't so good now. Every time he gets an essay back from Mr. Hart it always has a big spiky F written in the corner. Almost identical, Mrs. Rose, no matter how well thought out and spelling and grammatically checked the paper is always fails Jimmy. A D- in Math, D in P.E., A in Science, and an F in French.
Jimmy sits up in his room doing nothing. His mom and dad have banned him from everything except school and his room.
He looks at his bookcase full of books.
" Read em." Jimmy thinks.
At Melinda Carter's house in Melinda's room, Melinda sits on her bed two bottles of jet black and blood red nail polish open on the desk next to her bed. Melinda strokes the brush on her nails admiring the black and red effect.
" I have to get revenge on Neutron." Melinda thinks stroking the brush up and down on her nails. " But how can I get him at school?"
" Wait!" She exclaims. " If I can't Jimmy in school then I'll get him expelled."
Melinda begins thinking.
" How to get Neutron expelled? Wait, he seems to have a thing for that girl Samantha, I'll use that to my advantage." Melinda thinks getting up and screwing the caps back onto the bottles.
Melinda picks up a sheet of paper and, in her best handwriting, begins writing a fake love note from Samantha Cruise.
"I have loved you from the first moment I laid eyes upon you. Please meet me behind the school.
Love,
Samantha Cruise"
After completing the fake love note Melinda puts the letter in an envelope with, From: Samantha, written on it. Melinda seals the envelope and, after putting on red lipstick, kisses the envelope leaving a big red kiss mark.
Melinda starts cackling evilly she turns off the light and waits for tomorrow morning.
Jimmy lies awake again. He hasn't gotten a decent night sleep for almost a week now.
The night passes slowly and at six o'clock Mrs. Neutron walks in to Jimmy awake.
" Honey, I'm worried you look like you haven't slept for days and you won't talk to your father or I." Mrs. Neutron says putting her hand on Jimmy's forehead.
" You feel warm, I'm getting the thermometer." Mrs. Neutron says.
Jimmy was going to try to fake sick but possibly being sick for real is better.
After 1 minute the thermometer registers ninety-nine point nine degrees Fahrenheit.
" You have a little fever so go to school and come home sick if you have to." Mrs. Neutron says.
" Okay." Jimmy says.
He gets up and gets dressed. A blue shirt with a white atom on it and a pair of blue jeans.
Jimmy goes into the bathroom fixes his hair and brushes his teeth.
Jimmy decides to skip breakfast and walks out the door, the autumn season has begun.
On the bus Jimmy sits next to Samantha.
" Hey Jimmy." Samantha says.
" Hey Samantha." Jimmy says.
The bus is loud with people talking, laughing, and gossiping along with suppressed giggles.
The bus pulls up in front of the school fifteen minutes later. Jimmy along with Sheen, Carl, and Samantha walk into the school. David arrives five minutes later. The bell rings and everyone starts to roam the halls.
Meanwhile Melinda, who snuck into the school early, sneaks through the boy's locker room looking for Jimmy's locker. Melinda, with the help of skills she learned from her brother, opens locker after locker looking for something signifying it to be Jimmy's. In locker number four hundred five Melinda sees Jimmy's gym shoes.
" Here it is." Melinda says smiling evilly and placing the letter on the shoes.
Melinda re-locks the locker and walks out, careful not to be seen.
In reading language Jimmy gets his essay from yesterday with an F in the corner.
After this the class reads another chapter, Jimmy has lost track of the chapter they are on.
Mrs. Rose is no better, another chapter, another boring assignment, another F.
Mrs. Candora's class is a snore fest. Boring algebra assignment. When the bell rings everyone runs for the door trying to get to lunch and get out of the class as fast as they could.
Lunch is an affair, even though Jimmy has been bringing a brown bag lunch ever since the first day it still never makes lunch any better, another shirt covered in some odd cafeteria substance after another ball of garbage flies at Jimmy from the back.
After lunch is P.E. After another embarrassing fifty-five minutes of running, sit-ups, push-up, crunches, and wall sits Jimmy walks to his locker. He changes and walks away.
Meanwhile David walks up to his locker and opens it he sees Jimmy's shoes and the letter.
" What's this?" David thinks.
He picks it up and sees Jimmy's shoes there.
" Jimmy put his shoes in my locker." David thinks then he looks at the letter.
David first just sees Samantha's name.
David turns the letter over to see the kiss mark.
David starts to blush wildly and opens the letter.
"I have loved you from the first moment I laid eyes upon you. Please meet me behind the school.
Love,
Samantha Cruise"
David starts to imagine his life with Samantha.
In a bright pink background with bubbles and white sparkles David runs towards Samantha and she runs towards him.
As the two meet Samantha says. " I love you."
The two kiss and David is awakened from his dream sequence by Mr. Stone's voice.
" Mr. Grayson the bell rung five minutes ago!"
" Oh sorry." David says crumpling the note.
In Science Mrs. Geonard gives the class a quiz over what they've been studying and Jimmy is the first one to turn it in.
In French Mrs. Johnson says that the class better stop pretending they don't know French after all the F's she's given out.
After that she sends the class to do a bunch of worksheets due on the next Monday.
After the bell rings Jimmy gets up and walks outside onto the bus.
After 20 minutes the bus drops Jimmy off and Jimmy walks into his house.
" Mom I'm home." Jimmy says.
" Hello Jimmy." Mrs. Neutron says.
" I'm going up to my room." Jimmy says walking up the stairs.
Jimmy walks into his room and sits on his bed reading a book he got from the library that morning.
That night the girls basketball game is over and the girls are victorious.
In the showers, Samantha, Amy, and Lindsey are showering and talking.
" That was an awesome game." Amy says.
" Yeah we beat them bad." Lindsey says smiling.
" Yeah we did." Samantha says.
Outside, behind the school, Melinda hides in a bush with a camera, she imagines herself catching Jimmy accidentally looking in the conveniently placed window and snapping pictures of him to show to the school board.
" That'll get Neutron expelled for sure." Melinda thinks smiling.
Meanwhile David walks towards the school eager to meet Samantha.
David walks onto the school property and walks behind the bush Melinda is in.
Melinda is shocked to see David.
" Damn it Jimmy must have put his shoes in David's locker." Melinda thinks. " Oh well, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
Melinda prepares to jump out but then Melinda decides against it.
" Another time." She thinks sneaking off into the dark.
" Oh well." David thinks and begins to walk away, but he accidentally trips over a tree root and falls into a pile of leaves causing large amounts of noise.
In the shower the noise is heard.
" Did you hear that?" Samantha asks.
" Yeah, let's go investigate." Lindsay says turning off the water.
Amy, and Samantha turn off the water and wrap towels around themselves as does Lindsay.
Outside David is starting to walk away when three shadows show up behind him.
" Well, well, well. What have we hear?" Amy asks and the three grab David.
Inside the girl's locker room David's hands are tied together on a rope held by Amy.
" What were you doing outside the locker room?" Amy asks.
" I got this note from Samantha." David says holding up the note and Samantha takes the note.
" I didn't write this." Samantha says reading the note.
David looks down saddened.
" Well David it's time for your one phone call." Lindsay says holding up her cell phone.
" So who do you wanna call?" Amy asks.
" Jimmy Neutron." David says.
" Okay." Amy says and dials Jimmy's cell phone number provided by David.
At Jimmy's house Jimmy's cell phone rings.
" Hello." Jimmy says answering.
" We have David, if you wish to reclaim him come to the school." A voice Jimmy can't recognize says.
" Where in the school?" Jimmy asks.
" Behind the school." Amy says.
Jimmy jumps out his window and using his hover shoes lands quietly.
Jimmy runs to the school and once arriving walks to the back of the school.
Amy stands in a fresh set of clothes, her arms across her chest.
" I didn't think you'd show up." Amy says.
" Where's David?" Jimmy asks.
" He's safe don't worry." Amy says pointing to Samantha and Lindsay, also in new sets of clothes, who are holding David.
" David?! What are you doing here?!" Jimmy asks amazed.
" It's a long story." David says.
" Cut the chatter." Amy says.
" How do I get David back?" Jimmy asks.
" Simple, you must beat me at a game." Amy says.
" What game?" Jimmy asks.
" Follow me." Amy says and walks away.
Inside the gym there's a table with two Pierrots (French clown) set up.
" Now these clowns will start to move if either of us makes a sound." Amy says pointing to the dancing clowns.
Amy sits down as does Jimmy and the game begins.
Jimmy sits quietly thinking.
" I have to win, if I don't David will be expelled."
Meanwhile Amy is thinking too.
She grips a microphone and places it against her chest.
Then Amy notices something.
" One of the announcers unplugged his microphone and now it's leaning over a glass of water, when the jack falls into the water that clown will start to dance." Amy thinks.
Amy sits starting to smile evilly.
Jimmy sits quietly barely even breathing.
The jack leans closer when suddenly one of the clowns starts dancing.
" What the jack hasn't fallen yet?!" Amy exclaims when she sees it's her clown.
Amy hears her own heartbeat from the amplifier next to her clown.
" Your holding the microphone next to your heart caused you to lose." Jimmy says.
" You won!" David says.
" Well you won fair and square so we won't tell on David." Amy says.
Jimmy and David walk one way and Amy, Lindsay and Samantha walk the other.
At one in the morning Jimmy gets back home and goes to sleep.
What on Earth possessed me to write this much? Oh well next chapter will hopefully be up soon. Three day weekend! Yeah!
