She waved to him, across the yard.
"Hey, Jimmy."
"Hey. What's new?"
She smiled. "Not much."
He nodded, and sat down beside her on the steps. Taking out a laptop and a sandwich, he sighed. "My chemical equations in my multifarious physics experiment turned out a little…off."
She bit her lip, suppressing a laugh. "How bad was it?"
A smiled, with a playful shrug. "Melted the beaker…and the table…and cracked the cement floor, before I finally subdued it with a antidotal counterpart."
She finally let out the laugh. "You never change, nutty professor. Don't you study when I'm not around?" She teased, pointing at him.
He shrugged again. "Well, maybe it's all those late nights that's the trouble in the first place."
She raised an eyebrow. "Do you-" She glanced down at her lunch. "Do you not want to study together anymore?"
"Hmm? I was just kidding, Cind." He looked at her, raising an eyebrow with a smile. "I need your help, remember?"
"Hmm."
As they ate their lunch, she thought to herself. She would never admit to him how her heart had jumped at the thought of not studying with him anymore.
She glanced at him, discreetly. She couldn't believe the way she had been feeling around him lately. Mr. Know-it-all, Nerdtron, Mr. Chocolate-whippy-dip head…all those childhood squabbles…had it come to this, of all things?
Suddenly, another student sat down in the shade of a tree nearby. The radio played a familiar song…and Cindy found herself thinking about the lyrics…as if they were made just for her.
We've known each other
For a long, long time
But I never really noticed
all the Magic in your eyes
How could she have missed out on having Jimmy as such a close friend when they were little? She couldn't believe how much they had in common, how easy it was to talk, laugh… just hang.
I've been around you
A thousand times before
And you've always been
A friend to me but
Now I'm wanting more
She took another bite, transfixed by her thoughts.
I must have been so blind
I never realized
You're the one that's right for me
All the while I couldn't see
And now I feel so strange
I'll never be the same
The stupid crushes, the even stupider boyfriends, (and boyfriend wannabes) none of them was what she was looking for…they had never lasted long. Would Neutron even be different? She wondered…
I been going round and round in circles
And I don't know what to do,
Cus' baby,
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think I'm falling in love
With you
Could it be true? Could she really…have feelings for him?
There's no explaining
How I feel inside
I'm going through a transformation
That's so hard for me to hide
She thought about last night, studying. How hard her heart would beat when he laughed or smiled…she laughed to herself. If it wasn't for him hopeless oblivion, he would defiantly guess how she felt. She could barely hide her nervousness when he was close…her happiness when he called or dropped by.
A revelation
Finally opened up my eyes
That what I've spent a long time searching for
Was right there all the time
I was oblivious
So very out of touch
All the while I couldn't see
You're the one that's right for me
And now my world has changed
I'll never be the same
Somehow, she felt like she was the one that had been oblivious. Smart, funny, kind…and so much more. Why hadn't she realized it years ago?
I'm going round and round in circles,
And it's all because of you,
Sweet baby,
I've been thinking about you
In the most peculiar way
I've been thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think I'm falling in love
With you…
She sighed, listening to the birds singing, and him typing away, finishing some assignment…or working on some invention.
She knew he didn't really need her to study, not even for art. As bad a fashion designer as he was, he could pass any class, she knew. She also knew he knew how stubborn she was. That she would never ask for help…it had to be mutual. He was trying to be a great friend…coming to her for help, helping her instead.
Don't you know
That you're blowing my mind
What you do to me I can't describe
It was strange. She thought back to her childhood mini-crush, Nick. He had made her feel…giggly, school-girlish. With Neutron…she just wanted to be near him. Make him laugh…help him through problems.
But, how did he feel about her?
I've been thinking about you (really got you on my mind)
I've been thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking about you
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think I'm falling,
I'm fallin
It's unbelievable to me
But suddenly I think I'm falling, I'm fallin
...and would she ever find out?
