Chapter 5
(At the Movie Theater)
Cindy, Jimmy, Sheen, Libby, Carl, and Tori had gone to the movies to watch Scary Movie 4, but only two of them was actually watching the movie.
"I can't believe they would do that in full view of everyone." whispered Cindy.
Indeed. Everyone really was staring at Libby, Sheen, Carl, and Tori. (A/N: Hehehe, Inside JOKE!)
"I know. But it's not like we can stop them." replied Jimmy.
Cindy and Jimmy, through the power of disgust at their friends, had become friends themselves.
"You want to move to a different part of the theater?" asked Jimmy.
Cindy just nodded and stood up slowly. She practically crawled to a row about 20 feet behind their friends.
"Looks like a good place to be..I guess. Too bad we can still see them."
Jimmy nodded in agreement. "Well, At least we can't be splashed with their spit anymore."
"You're right. Now we can actually watch the movie."
He nodded and nudged Cindy with the popcorn box. "Want any?"
Cindy nodded, she stuck her hand in, reaching for the popcorn that didn't have any butter on them. Jimmy also reached in.
Their hands touched. Jimmy held his breath, and waited for her to remove her hand.
"Uh..."
Cindy jerked her head to the side. "OW!"
The people around them went, "SHHHHHHHH!"
Cindy cringed and muttered a 'Sorry' here and there.
"What?"
Jimmy pulled his hand out of the popcorn box. It was covered in butter.
"Uhhh...Nothing."
Cindy shrugged. "Whatever, Nerdtron."
Jimmy held his breath once again, waiting to see if she apologized. Cindy recognized her mistake.
"Oh, I'm sorry Jimmy...Old habits die hard."
Jimmy nodded.
"It's fine...It's nothing..."
Cindy blushed, but in the dim light, Jimmy could not see this.
'I have to tell him. Before it's too late!'
Jimmy had also blushed, and was thinking similar thoughts.
'Why do I have to be like this? I mean, I never get nervous! Why only with her? Am I that scared to tell her how I feel? Have I wasted five years in preactically worshipping her?'
Jimmy smiled at her nervously.
"Cindy.."
Cindy looked up from her lap.
"Hmm?"
Jimmy shook her shoulder lightly.
"The movie's over."
She nodded and rose to leave the theater.
"I don't know if we should leave those 4 here."
Cindy just shrugged.
"It doesn't matter, really. They'll realize that the movie's over sooner or later. I'd rather hope later."
Jimmy raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
Cindy blushed, and in the newly turned on lights, Jimmy could see the rose color, rising in her cheeks.
"Why?"
She shrugged and just walked quickly out to the lobby.
"Want to stay and wait for them, or do you want to just walk home?"
Tori's mom was supposed to pick them all up in about ten minutes.
"Let's go."
Jimmy and Cindy were at the park, just talking about the old days.
"So."
"So?"
Cindy shrugged and looked at Jimmy slowly, devouring every single detail.
"Remember that time, when our brains got switched?"
"Yeah?"
Cindy blushed again.
"And the part when our brains were in that big thingy-majiger in your lab?"
"Yeah?"
She blushed an even deeper shade of magenta.
"And then we saw each other somehow?"
Jimmy merely nodded, urging her on.
"Andwe were walking along that country road?"
He cocked his head to the side.
"Yeah?"
"And we were...making out?"
They both blushed at the same time. Jimmy crossed his legs, feeling 'aroused' for some reason. Cindy looked at Jimmy with a passion.
"Jimmy?"
He cleared his throat and said, "What?"
"Do you like anyone?"
"What do you mean?"
Cindy saw it in his face. 'He knows what I mean.'
"You know, do you have a crush on someone?"
Jimmy shrugged. "I guess you could call it a crush."
"What else could you call it?"
"A life-long passion."
"Why?"
"Well, maybe not life-long."
"How long then?"
"Five years..."
Cindy gasped. "That's a long time..."
He nodded. "I know. I can't get rid of it though."
Cindy rested her hand on his knee.
"It's just agonizing though. She's so close, yet she's so far away."
She leaned back on the swing she was sitting in.
"I have that problem too. I mean, I've liked him so long. But I'm afraid to ask him if he likes me the same way."
"That's the same with me! I can't tell her how she feels, because she's been friends with me since we were ten!"
Cindy stopped herself on the swing.
"Is it...Betty?"
Jimmy shook his head, realizing the more she asked, the more of a chance she would find out about his five year crush on her.
"Is it...Libby?"
Jimmy shook his head again.
"Brittany?"
He shook his head once more.
"Is it...Would it happen to be..."
Jimmy stared at the ground, preparing for the worst.
"Is it..."
He now looked to the other side of himself, the direction Cindy was facing.
"Me?"
A/N: DUN DUN DUN! Muwahahahaha! I leave you in suspense! Hanging on a cliffhanger!
You know, it surprises me how many people actually like my stories! But always remember...
