Right before she had realized it, Cindy was on the bus and on her way home. "Wow.." she thought. "A whole day went by." And she found her self in her depressed state again. She felt alone again. And once again began sifting through her thoughts and feelings. She had known what it was. Or, rather who it was...

Jimmy entered the bus scanning the isles for a place to sit. The whole bus had been filled up. Carl and Sheen in one seat, Libby in one of the back 1-seater seats, and just about every other kid in his grade in all the other seats. He looked and looked but no place to sit. He couldn't go on the other bus, thanks to all the 7th and 8th grade bullies and the sleepy driver who always fell asleep on red lights. But then he looked under the red "EMERGENCY ESCAPE" sign and found the only seat available: the one by Cindy Vortex. He looked over at where Carl and Sheen were sitting, Sheen mindlessly babling on about how his Ultralord was an action figure, not a doll. He thought maybe he could squeeze himself in, but with Carl sitting there he sighed in desparation. The bus driver was now getting impatient, tapping his foot as he saw all the other busses leaving. Jimmy looked at him and noticed this bus driver was surely not like their old one, Mrs. Sanders. She'd been an old 45 year old woman who had never gotten a speeding or any other kind of ticket in all her years. She had children and had retired when cancer claimed a family member's life. Jimmy was skeptical of the man's pale face and bloodshot eyes.

"Look Kid! You eitha gonna sit o' stand!" He said. Jimmy's face lit up at the thought of standing.

"I can stand!" He said hopefully.

"I mean stadin' outside, waitin' fo' 'notha bus to come!" Jimmy's once hopefull face turning into a frown, then a scowl.

He walked slowly to Cindy's seat placing his back pack between he and Cindy. At first, he thought it was going to be a long ride but then he noticed Cindy's sad eyes coming to life with the thill of content. As they sat together Cindy began to speak.

"Yeah...so...whatcha been up to? You were kind of quiet at lunch today..."He asked, tryng to break the thick silence between them.

"Oh...I-Yeah. I've been up to a lot lately. It's like I said. I was tired because I was exited about school and didn'tget any sleep... " She lied, remembering the deep pit of despair that was her summer, her parents gone leaving her with an empty house and loads and loads of empty time.

"I was in Paris. Not to mention Detroit and Florida and- and Lebanon and Japan and Canada too." She felt bad telling all these lies. Her parents would have told her to shut up and stop it with the lies. But they couldn't, she thought, thanks to the stupid jobs that stole them away from her.

"Hmmmmm. Well that's funny. I didn't see you . Your car was in the driveway the whole summer." he said

"Well-Well..." She stammered, trying to think up of a good enough explanation.

"Well- That's because we left...in a taxi...to the airport...after school..." She was sounding pretty phoney, even to herself right now.

"Right." Jimmy said sarcasticly.

"Are you calling me a lair, Neutron?" She simply adored this. Nothing bet arguing with Jimmy, even when they were trying to be nice to one another. It wasn't the fact that she loved to argue. It was her love to win. She knew that no matter what they were arguing about, even if she knew he was right, she would never let Jimmy the savor the pleasures of victory. Not over her cold body. Because amidst her mind, she knew that she only could, against Jimmy anyways.

"NO! All I'm saying is that I didn't see your car leave at all. And that you didn't come out of your house all summer. That's all!"

And so they continued arguing and arguing and arguing. And that's when Libby cut in, the flames of white hot fury burning in her eyes.

"Do you two idiots realize that you've been arguing for the past two hours?" she bellowed, but Cindy didn't get what the point was and untill you read the next chapter, you won't know what the point was either.
