Chapter 6
Cindy's POV
She sighed, laying on her frilly pink bed, knowing fully well that school started in a few days.
But she wasn't ready to face Jimmy, not after the connection they had wrought on the camping trip.
Of course, there was that matter 2 years ago...
(Flashback)
Cindy was walking to class, her stomach in knots, but feeling jubilant. Jimmy had successfully asked her out, and she had said yes.
But as she was entering the classroom, a shadow washed over her.
It was Betty Quinlain, and she was smirking.
"What?" asked Cindy irritably. Betty smirked even wider.
"Oh, nothing... It's just that.. Jimmy seemed to really enjoy sucking face with me last night."
Cindy's heart turned to stone, tears threatening to fall down her flushed face.
"W-What?"
Betty now had a triumphant smirk. "What, he didn't tell you? We've been hooking up a lot lately." She laughed lightly and smoothed her hair down and took a tube of lip gloss out of her purse.
Then she sauntered into the classroom, swinging her hips.
And Cindy had stood in the hall, a single tear sliding slowly down her cheek and off of her chin...
(End Flashback)
Cindy sighd and sat up, clutching her pillow as if it were her armor.
She looked outside, the dark night reminding her of the camping trip. To her, remembering was a blessing and a curse.
