Thanks for the reviews! Okay, here's the next chapter, please READ and REVIEW!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cindy still sat in the Honors classroom. She stared straight ahead, ignoring the fact that the other kids were whispering about her, and Jimmy's storming out of the classroom. She tried desperatley hard to pay attention to her lesson. The teacher was saying something about dividing trinomials into binomials. She stared at the board, but had no idea what was written on it.

Cindy wasn't thinking about school. She was worried about Jimmy. Why didn't he believe her when she told him her theory? She had no idea why he had taken the news so hard. Was it possible that he actually did like Gabby? At this realization, Cindy lay her head on the desk.

Although Cindy was almost positive that Gabby was Patrick's daughter, she still had no idea what she was doing in town. Perhaps she had wanted to visit, to see what the town was like in which her father had spent his last few days on Earth. Or, maybe she was just coming to live with the only relative that she still had alive. Or. . .

Cindy's head jerked up off her desk at the idea she just had, scattering her papers everywhere, and recieving an annoyed look from the teacher.

What if Gabby was there for revenge? After all, her father had been killed. Cindy knew that Jimmy had pulled the trigger unintentionally, and wounded himself in the process. She knew that. But what if Gabby didn't? What if she thought that her father had been killed on purpose, and she was out to avenge his death?

Cindy scooped up her backpack, and flew at the door, ignoring the protests from her teacher.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jimmy walked down the hallways, alone. He had no idea where he was going, and he had no idea why. Jimmy didn't know why he had gotten so upset at Cindy's statement. He didn't think it was true. Bennet was such a common name, and there was no way Gabby was related to such a horrible person. Still, a small sickening feeling coated his disbelief, making him feel as if there was a bit of truth to what Cindy had said.

So what if Gabby was Patrick's daugher. That didn't mean anything. She probably just came to Retroville in order to live with her aunt.

It wasn't that Jimmy was mad at Cindy. She hadn't done anything wrong. She'd just told him her idea, and he'd blew up at her.

Jimmy turned left at the next corner he came to. He still didn't know where to go. Perhaps the boys bathroom? Jimmy nodded to himself, and decided that was where he would wait until lunch.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gabby knew there was no turning back. It was the middle of class, and no one would be in the hallways. She would go to the honors classroom, and tell the teacher that Jimmy needed to go to the office. Maybe her teacher wouldn't question what she was doing out of class. That would be when she would make her move.

The gun still stay in it's hiding place in her backpack, which was thrown across her shoulder. Now to go get Jimmy. . . thought Gabby to herself.

But, after walking a few more moments, she realized that it wouldn't be neccissary. She could see Jimmy strolling towards the restrooms at the other end of the hall.

"Hey, Jimmy!" she called, immediatley getting the attention of the genius.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cindy knew something bad was going to happen. She could feel it.

Cindy strolled down the long hallways, desperatley looking for Jimmy. She had to find him, and fast. Her gut feeling told her that something bad was going to happen. . . and it involved him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Gabby?" asked Jimmy, as she caught up with him. "Why aren't you in class?"

"No reason." she answered abruptly, pulling her backpack slowly from her shoulders.

"Do you feel alright? Are you sick?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.

"I'm fine." she whispered.

"What's wrong?" he questioned, noticing the desperate look on her face.

"Nothing." she said, unzipping the backpack.

"Are you sure? Because, you look sick. Do you want me to take you to the nurse?" he asked.

"No." was her simple answer.

Jimmy noticed that Gabby was barely listening to a word he was saying. She was more interested in the backpack she held in her hands.

"What's in the bag?" he asked.

Gabby quickly slipped the gun from the pack and pointed it in Jimmy's face.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cindy gasped at the scene she was witnessing. She had walked upon the two teens, and heard their conversation. She stood at the corner, out of sight, but she could still see them.

Gabby had pulled a gun on Jimmy. Cindy's heart sank when she saw the look on Jimmy's face.

It was a strange look. It was a mix between hurt, realization of betrayel, desperation, and utter confusion.

That look almost broke her heart.

Cindy snapped from her thoughts, and realized that she had to do something. She just didn't know what.
