Suprise

Yay! A faster chapter! -katie-

Jimmy had seen Cindy around a lot the last few days, and now when ever he saw her, he always found himself looking anywhere.. Up, down, sideways, backwards.. Anywhere but at her... Since Carl and Sheen were on to him, he would have to be super careful... and since there little hand incident it was just a little bit uncomfortable to Jimmy. Finally it was the day of Libby's early party for her birthday and they had all gone to the mall( Sheen, Carl, Christy was busy but Carl went with Sheen, Libby, Jimmy..) To get Libby a 'cute' dress for the next night .. So Jimmy sat in the food court all alone. But just then a girls' voice that he recognized as Cindys' caught him unexpectedly.

" Hey there Neutron.. Can I sit down? Well to bad I'm going to..." said as she sat down next to him. She was wearing a green tank top and a simple ponytail and capris.. And she looked simply amazing.. He looked into her hypnotizing green eyes. They sparkled wildly.

" Hey Vortex.."

" I've seen you everywhere this week!" she smiled again. He felt like his heart had melted and his large brain had suddenly become a big lump of puddy.

" Yeah.." he said as he stabbed at his salad. She smiled again.

" Why are you talking to me Vortex? Don't you have some guy whose chasing you?" she blushed a little bit. " Sorry..." he said almost a little bit bitterly.

" Not today actually.." she said as she blushed more. He laughed. She looked up. Blue met green.. All of a sudden he couldn't breathe... " Well I really should get going.." she said a little bit defeated.. If only she could see inside of his heart.. underneath his hard shell like exterior.

" Okay.. Sorry about that Vortex.. I've just had a bad day.." he paused.. Should he release his inner feelings to his worst enemy, but before he could stop himself.. He had continued.. " Libby and Sheen dragged me here.. And then Carl went with and just left me here... so I've just been sitting here all by myself.. Except for when I run into a store to get something.." he admitted quietly. She looked back at him with a look that seemed like a touch of sympathy.

" Oh yeah. I gotchya.." she said and smiled. " I forgive ya Spewtron.." she punched his arm playfully.

" Thanks.." He smiled at her.. And she returned the favor.

" And your right.. I do get chased by a lot of guys.. And I reject most of them, but once in a blue moon, I'll give them my phone number... and we'll go on a date or two before I break up with them.."

" Ouch Vortex.. Your harsh.." he smirked.

" Well.. I can't help it.. You see.. There's kind of someone..." she looked into his eyes.. He really hoped his eyes weren't giving away how much he wanted her right now... Just then he saw Sheen and Carl headed his way.

He finished up the last of his meal.. " I really hope it works out for you two.." he said and smiled. Her green eyes met his, and for a moment he couldn't breathe again.

" Yeah..." she said smiling up at him.. " See ya Spewtron.."

" Yeah.. See ya..." he smiled and dumped his tray and hurried over to Sheen and Libby. He played with his fingers.. That encounter had been a little bit weird.. He ran his hand through his hair loosely. Who was this mystery guy? And why was Cindy being so nice? And why was she flirting with him all of a sudden? Just because he got left there? Maybe he was the guy.. The guy Cynthia Vortex liked... He shook his head yes and stole one last glance at the food court... sure enough Cindy was still sitting there... All by herself.. And she had the strangest look plastered on her face.. It looked like rage, jealousy, and sadness all at the same time. Nick must've been by with Betty... Jimmy smiled... Over the past week or so Betty and Nick had somehow or other gotten together.. He brushed his hand through his hair. All of a sudden he got a bout of butterflies in his stomach.. If it was Libby's party.. Cindy was sure to be there... . Just then Libby spoke.

" Well I better get a going.. To the next store, Sheen just chill here with Carl and Jim, I need some girl time with the cinds.. So see you all tomorrow night!"

" Yeah. See ya.. tommorownight.." he smiled at the words. Tomorrow Night..

" ah.. Jim? Ya in there?"

" Ya.. Sorry.." he snapped from his daydream.

" You loveee Cindy.. You love Cindy.." Sheen mocked from behind him and Carl.

" Seriously Sheen.. Shut up.." Jimmy scolded.. But could feel a blush creeping onto his cheeks.

Little did he know, a pair of eyes was watching them with happy, glorious triumph.. Finally after watching him for days. James Isaac Neutrons' only weakness.. Had finally publicly been confirmed..

The next Night

He arrived at Libbys' door precisely 7:30 with his gift.. He cleared his throat, popped a mint in his mouth and knocked on the door. He could barely breathe as the door opened... and he smiled in relief.. It was just Libby.

" Hey Jimmy.. Come in come in.. You and Sheen are the first ones to get here.." she said as she glanced at the clock. " Right on time.. As usual.." she smiled. She took the gift from his hands and set it on a nearby table.

He sat down in a chair.. As Libby put in some music that he recognized as Grey Star. He smiled.

" Haven't heard this in a while.."

" You remember?"

" Who doesn't! You were like obsessed about Grey Star!"

" He's right you know.." A voice said... he instantly knew who it was... He turned his head. She stood there in a lovely pink and green knee length spaghetti strapped dress, and her beautiful blonde hair was pulled back by a pink head band.. Her green eyes met his. He could almost feel his jaw dropping. She gave the gift to Libby and sat in the chair across from him. She smiled. " You were really quite obsessed with them.." " But I do have to admit they were pretty good.." she smirked.

" Yeah. Everyone else will be here soon! So you guys, get out there and dance!"

" Just us two?" she asked Libby.. But her eyes .. Were still locked on him.

" Well... I'm the hostess! I have to greet guests.. And I know Sheen won't dance without me.. So yeah.. It looks like just you two.." just then Cindy tore her eyes away from Jimmys' and looked Libby straight in the eye..

" You won't die you know.." and just then Jimmy felt his feet moving, he felt his weight shifting... and he found himself standing at the foot of a very suprised Cindy..

" Care to dance?" he asked offering her his hand. And surprisingly, she took it.
