CHAPTER 6: Water and Human Skin

If this wasn't a weird morning he didn't know what was! Not only did conveniently think about the girl next door all night, but he also got touchy with her while in his boxers! (Sigh)…Nothing seems to be going right now. Ever since Jenny became real he didn't know what to think anymore! Everything is so much more confusing when you actually have someone who was once robotic now human and you now have feelings for…hold on wait.
Brad paused for a moment coming back to reality in his 2nd period class staring at his book and looked at the being that's constantly on his mind. She seemed to be glowing in the sun light that was coming through the window like an angel with light that was only shining on her.
"Miss Wakeman!" the teacher yelled. "Can you please move from your seat so the janitor can fix that light? I don't know why it makes that eerie glow during the day."
"Yes ma'am." She responded walking over toward Brad. Since the janitor was in the room it cause a bit of ruckus and everyone went about their own business. Business, of course, was that they surrounded Jenny with nothing but questions. They all came so fast to her that she couldn't do anything but smile and stare nervously at everyone.
Is this what most people call pressure?
Brad took notice of her nervousness and decided to help her out. After all it was her second day of having skin that wasn't artificial; she had to get use to it first.
Hey Jenny, did it hurt when you became human?
Jenny, where did you get that top from its simply fabulous!
Jenny are your eyes really that color or are they contacts?
"Uhh Jenny can I see you for a sec.?" Brad asked pulling her away from her desk to the back corner of the room. Everyone took that cue to leave her alone and chat mindlessly among each other until she came back.
"Thanks a lot Brad, I don't know what I'd do if that happened again. Guess I should be glad I have my knight in shining armor here to protect me." She smiled.
Brad blushed as he continued to hold her hand.
"Yeah about that." He sighed, as he sat on the edge of the desk facing Jenny, only…he couldn't look at her.
"Brad…what's wrong?" she asked almost pleadingly.
"Well Jen I've been thinking about this whole human situation." He started slowly, while gripping her hand a bit tighter for support. "I've been wondering what we'd do if someone was to attack. I mean let's face it jenny, now that you don't have your robot abilities, you're just as weak as the people you're trying to protect. And…"
Unexpectedly to the both of them, they seemed to be getting closer and closer and as Brad's voice began to go into a deep whisper, Jenny's eyes began to droop.
"And…I just…don't…"
"Jenny!" called a voice breaking the two from their trance into a deeper blush. Jenny was too embarrassed to look Brad in the eye, while Brad surveyed to see who the culprit was, being none other than Don Prima. (cringe) why does he interrupt every time!
"Well I better see what he wants; probably wants to invite me to party or something. Can you believe it Brad! My very first party?" she asked anxiously forgetting the past moment.
"Yeah that's great and all Jen but, what about the cluster?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I mean what will happen if they were to attack you-"
"Don't worry about it Brad." She interrupted reassuringly. "Besides they're all looking for XJ9…I'm a human now!"
"Jenny, I just…"
"Jennifer darling, hurry before I forget what I wanted to say."
"Coming Don." She replied casually.
"You're now on a first name basis with him?" Brad asked a bit heatedly.
"Yeah, I'll see you after school." She ended walking away.
"Jenny-"
"Ah-ha! I knew you had done something to my Jenny." Sheldon spoke out of nowhere.
"Why does everyone want to interrupt me today!" Brad demanded angrily.
"Ooo, looks somebody's in a bad mood, today." He teased.
"Back off Sheldon, I'm really not in a good mood." Brad stated shoving the nerd to the side as he went back to his seat.
"Huh? But what about my challenge?" he recalled.
"Forget it!"
LATER AFTER SCHOOL
Jenny continued to talk on and on about her day, which wouldn't have bothered Brad if he wasn't already in such a bad mood. He didn't know why, but every time she was giving her attention to another guy besides Sheldon he just got upset. Funny, he was never like that when she was a robot. But now things were critical; she's a human now and is letting her fame rush to her head! He was about to retaliate and tell her to shut up when…
BOOM!
A large explosion erupts in front of them on the street, causing masses of people to run screaming.
"What was that!" Jenny exclaimed.
When the smoke cleared an aquatic monster with glowing green eyes and a womanly figure appeared. It stood with no real legs but water and no detailed body attractions but her eyes.
"Earth boy, you will help me find the robot girl XJ9." the being demanded.
Brad stared in awe at the wonders of the "creature" before him oblivious to the recent demand. "How can you talk without a mouth." He questioned.
"Never mind that," Jenny interrupted. "I'm the one you're looking for so prepare to be vaporized." She stated boldly to the creature, holding her arm out waiting for a heat wave weapon of some sort.
"Umm Jenny…what're you doing?" brad questioned after a moment of silence.
"I don't understand, where are my weapons!" she panicked.
"I have no time for games!" The creature spoke harshly, throwing a powerful water blast at the teens.
"JENNY, LOOK OUT!" Brad exclaimed pulling her out of the way.
Jenny was so stunned; she didn't even notice that she and Brad were hiding in an alley. The creature called out to her, but when no response came it said its farewells and promised to return.
"I don't believe this…" she spoke shakily. "How can this-"
"Jenny you're not a robot anymore, you're-"
"A failure? A weakling? A pathetic Welch! Take your pick because they all describe me to a T!" she yelled.
"Jenny quit beating yourself up, this was bound to happen sooner or later." He spoke knowledgeable.
"Oh so you were looking forward to my failure! Is that it!"
"Jenny you know I-"
"No! You don't know what I have to go through everyday to protect everyone in this town! Though I really wouldn't expect you to; since you just stand on the sidelines." She yelled harshly. When no response came from him she finally came to grounds with what had just happened.
"Oh, oh Brad I'm sorry." She said looking at his shadowed face. "I didn't mean that; you know how helpful you and Tuck are to me." She tried to reassure.
Before she could speak any further, Brad lifted a hand to stop her. "Don't worry about Jen, people say some crazy stuff." He spoke picking up his backpack. "It's just natural for you to get angry, I mean after all you're only human."
With that said he turned away from her, leaving her in her own solitude in the ally. She didn't know why but for some reason she felt pain; pain that she couldn't describe. Is this what it meant to be lonely? She pondered as she walked home, with gray clouds over head, threatening to unleash its angry as she did with her best friend.
