Jimmy sat in the middle of the jungle, staring at his small fire. He shuddered as he heard several screeches come from the jungle. He threw another stick in the fire and sighed. I can't believe she didn't stick up for me. After all we've been through, she still likes Nick more.

He glanced up at the sky. There was a full moon overhead. He guessed that it had been about twelve hours since he had left the beach. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a banana. He hadn't eaten since the others had thrown him out.

As he unpeeled his dinner he heard something a few yards in front of him. He put down the fruit and picked up a rock. "Who's there?" he whispered.

Cindy pushed some vines aside and stood in front of Jimmy. "Hey," she quietly whispered.

Jimmy just sat back down. He was still angry at her. "What took you so long?"

Cindy sat down next to him and smiled. "Well, I had to grab this," she told him as she opened her backpack. It had most of the beach's supplies.

"Cindy!" Jimmy shouted.

"What?" she innocently asked. "Hey, you found this stuff, remember?"

Jimmy just shook his head and smiled. "Forget it," he told her as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She rested her head against him.

"Cindy, I just have to say this. This is so much better than what we had before. The fighting, the arguing, the rivalry. It was fun for a while, but I think we both wanted more.

These past couple of months have been the bet of my life. I am so glad that we don't have to hide our feelings anymore. It got so hard to deny to myself and everyone else that I liked you.

I mean, look at you, Cindy. You're just so beautiful," he said as he stared at her. Cindy started to blush. "Your beautiful green eyes, your golden hair, the way you smile, that frown that you get whenever you're upset, everything about you is just, so, perfect. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I, uh," Jimmy unwrapped his arm from Cindy's neck and ran his hands through his hair. "I love you, Cindy."

As Jimmy said those words Cindy felt happier than she had ever been. After years of fighting and arguing and pretending to hate each other, he had finally admitted that he liked her. No, loved her! And he had said it of his own free will! He wasn't in a dream, he wasn't under the effects of some potion, he wasn't hypnotized. She just sat there in shock for a moment.

Jimmy stared at her. "Isn't there, uh, something you want to say to me?" he asked.

Cindy turned towards Jimmy. "Yes, yes! Thank you so much!" she said as she hugged him.

"Uh, sure," Jimmy nervously told her.

"I'm kidding. I love you too, Jimmy," she said as she kissed him.
