Chapter 5.
Cindy:
The week passed by quickly with various other interesting things, but my mind was on the hot-tubbing date we all had with Betty tonight. I had finished all my homework and was now ready to start packing.
I know, I know, it's just hanging out in a pool with bubbles, but I wanted to make Neutron never forget the image of me in a bikini. In a good and non-embarrassing way, of course.
Then something occurred to me.
Weapons against Betty.
I mean, even though Betty's a sophomore, still in Algebra 1, gets barely-passing grades, and would rather buff her French-manicure than study for tests, her mind is still evil.
Seriously! People's minds work in different ways. Betty's just works in a fiendish way.
So I found dear old Dad's baseball bat and fit it into my new pink/blue striped beach bag, just beside my digicam (hey, I wanna remember Jimmy in his swimsuit) and my towel.
I guess that would be able to hold off Betty if she tried to do something that would push my buttons. (But later on, I would discover that only a bat would defeat her.) Nowadays, I try to control my anger by preparing myself against it or preventing issues that would make me angry in the first place.
Namely, the mere existence of Betty Quinlan.
She's such a superficial psycho-slut. Like in Health class once, Betty asked our teacher how many calories was in---
Okay. I'll stop there…
As time ticked by and the hours dragged on, the time came. I was ready, with my favorite swimwear under my regular shirt and khaki shorts.
I was just in time, hurrying down the stairs to catch Jimmy cruising along the streets with the rest of the crew on his newly improved hover craft with Libby and Sheen. I waved good-bye to my mom and walked out to the sidewalk, where Jimmy descended his hover craft low enough for me to step in with my belongings.
And off we went, with me and Neutron about to experience a rather…peculiarly pleasant evening.
Author's Note: Okay, I'd try to finish this story before my summer vacation ends when I have to go back to Taipei, but I kinda doubt it. I mean, when I'm in Taipei, I don't have that much access to a computer so I would be updating really really REALLY slowly. But anyway, hugs and kisses to all my wonderful reviewers and readers.
