Chapter 2: Ice Ice Baby
"Choose your pleasures for yourself, and do not let them be imposed upon you."
-Lord Chesterfield
The sun rose brightly over the bright lights and thick smog of New York City. Cindy was on her way to school through the maze of the city. She was lost in thought, mostly about Jimmy, when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She jumped slightly and turned around, seeing the boy she met in Starbucks yesterday.
"Hey," she breathed, relieved that she knew him.
"Hey," he replied. "What's going on?"
"Nothing," she replied absentmindedly.
"So, I was thinking, I didn't get your name." Cindy stopped and faced him. She gave him an icy look.
"I didn't give it," she said coolly.
"Oh, well that makes sense," he replied, obviously hurt. Cindy sighed and closed her eyes. She didn't like being mean like this.
"Cindy," she said timidly. "My name's Cindy." The boy's eyes brightened.
"I'm Tyler," he replied, offering her his hand. She gently shook it. They continued walking, as Tyler told Cindy all about life in New York. Cindy only half-listened, wishing she was back in Retroville with Jimmy. After what seemed like forever, they finally reached the front door of the school.
"So what d'ya think Cindy?" Tyler asked.
"Huh, what?" Cindy asked, snapping from her trance.
"Do you want to, like, hang out after school?" Tyler asked hopefully.
"Tyler...I...I mean you're nice and all...but..."
"I mean, I totally understand if you don't. I'm sure you left someone very special back at home. But we could go to Starbucks, just for a bit." Cindy sighed; there was really no point to arguing with this kid.
"Sure," she sighed, defeated. "I'll go." Tyler smiled.
"Cool, so I'll see ya after school then?"
"Yeah, meet me at Starbucks right after school."
"Sweet!" Tyler smiled his award-winning, million watt smile that Cindy could've easily fallen for had she not been in love with Jimmy. She smiled shyly. She and Tyler were just friends, hanging out with him after school didn't mean something had to happen.

"YO JIM! WHO'S THE NEW GIRL?" Sheen asked ecstatically.
"Oh, her name's Natalie. She moved into Cindy's old house."
"Whoa...she's HOTT!"
"Excuse me?" a familiar voice asked from behind Sheen. He cringed in fear. "Did I hear what I think I just heard?"
"Libs, I meant that in the sense that she's really pretty but I would never EVER go out with her! Hehe." Libby rolled her eyes. She knew all about Sheen and his raging hormones.
"Whatever Sheen, as long as you don't go cheating on me."
"LIBBY!" Sheen basically shrieked, causing heads to turn. "I WOULD NEVER CHEAT ON YOU! How could you think that?" Libby could've sworn she saw a hint of tears in Sheen's eyes. She burst out laughing.
"I'm kidding Sheen!" Sheen stuck out his tongue at her. "I'm sorry baby; I just love messing with you." She pulled him into a tight hug and kissed him passionately. When she pulled away, the look on Sheen's face convinced her she was forgiven. Jimmy smiled at his two friends, but the bottom of his stomach churned. Seeing them like that just made him miss Cindy even more.
It was towards the end of the day when Jimmy ran into Natalie in the hall.
"Oh, hey Natalie. How was your first day?" he asked nervously.
"Could've been better," she replied sadly. "People just aren't all that nice to me."
"Tell you what, why don't you meet me at the Candy Bar after school? I can introduce you to some people, and you can get some new friends."
"Sounds good Jimmy. See ya after school." Jimmy walked away smiling. She was so much like Cin...oh god. Jimmy mentally kicked himself. What was he thinking? Going out with another girl! Then he thought of Cindy all the way in New York, she had probably met another guy already anyway. Besides, just because he was going to the Candy Bar with a girl...a very pretty girl...didn't mean anything had to happen. He was just doing a nice favor for a friend. That was all Natalie was, a friend...right?
