Chapter 5
Today was the day of the contest, but Jimmy felt as if he was entering his nightmare.
"Hey, James! Is this song FOR someone?" yelled Nick.
Jimmy stopped and stared at Nick. "Even if it was, why do you care?" replied Jimmy coldly.
Nick stared strangely at Jimmy. He was not like this usually, most of the time, he was cheerful and flirtatious. Jimmy just brushed off the small conversation and walked into the school, ignoring greeting, deciding that replying to them would waste too much time. Jimmy entered the classroom sullenly.
"Hey Cindy, what's wrong? I mean, besides the fact that today is like the worst day for you..." asked Libby curiously.
Cindy shook her head to clear her head of her thoughts. "Huh? Nothing...I mean...Nothing's really wrong..."
Libby still stared at her sad friend curiously. "Well...If nothing's really wrong, you don't mind if I go ahead of you, right?"
Cindy shook her head. "Sure, go ahead."
Libby shrugged off her bad feelings and walked ahead to greet Sheen. Cindy sighed.
"Please put your hands together for Jimmy Neutron and Sheen Estevez performing the song written by Jimmy called, Will YOU be my Valentine'." said the principal before exiting the stage.
Jimmy and Sheen climbed on the stage, guitars in hand. Sheen sat on the stool left behind by the past performer, while Jimmy walked over to the microphone and adjusted it to match his 6'4" height.
"This song was written for someone close to my heart. I hope you know who you are, C." he said while staring at Cindy. All the people turned to face her. She shielded her face with her hands as Jimmy started strumming a mellow tone. Sheen began picking a slow melody along with Jimmy. (A/N: I take a guitar class at my school, so it's only obvious that I know this. I hope you know who I'm talking about when I say, Hey KeiLimePie! )
"I know I've done wrong to you, But I didn't know you saw me doing that
But you don't know that I saw you doing wrong to me too...
Now I think we should let go of the past and grasp onto the future
Now I've found the courage to ask you something I've been meaning to do for a while
C.V., Will You be my Valentine?
Will You be my Valentine?
I would do anything to get you back, but I never knew how,
Not until I realized I could sing this song to get you to realize I still love you
But I need to know,
Do you love me too?
And I need to know,
Will You be my Valentine?
Will You be my Valentine?
Love was the one who brought together, and love was the one that tore us apart
This time, I hope love will just go away and let me do the work
So now, finally, I ask you
Will You be my Valentine?
Will You be my Valentine?
Will You be my Valentine?"
Applause filled the auditorium, but nobody saw Cindy run outside. Nobody but Jimmy.
He sighed and handed his guitar to Sheen. "Can you put this away for me?" Jimmy picked up the rose he had left on the ground and ran after Cindy.
Cindy sobbed loudly and asked the sky, "Why do I feel this way about him?"
A voice rang out behind her. "Because I think I feel the same way about you..."
It was Jimmy, he was standing behind her, holding out a beautiful red rose. "For you."
Cindy gasped. "But...but...Why did you kiss Betty last year?"
Jimmy sighed, "I was hoping you wouldn't ask me about that , but I have a perfectly logical explanation."
Cindy scoffed. 'What was with him and his logical explanations?' she asked in her mind, secretly loving how he did that.
"She came onto me, Cindy. She didn't even like me though. She was using me to get to Nick." exclaimed Jimmy sadly. Cindy raised an eyebrow. "You seem disappointed. Why?"
"Oh...Um...You remember when we were ten? Well, you knew how I liked her for a little bit, right? Well...Obviously, that the reason why." said Jimmy quietly.
Cindy smiled shyly. "I liked your song, Jimmy."
Jimmy smiled back. "Oh, really? Did you?"
The flirting was back. "Yeah, it was REALLY good." said Cindy, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"If your voice could drip anymore sarcasm, you could drown the world," said Jimmy, inching toward her.
"Hm...Could it really?" she asked coyly.
Jimmy nodded and grabbed her hand. "You're still wearing it..." he whispered.
"I haven't taken it off since you gave it to me..." she replied. Cindy lifted his head and pushed her lips slowly onto his. "Mmph.."
