CHAPTER 4
Title: Where's old Cindy?
Jimmy, Cindy, Carl, Sheen, Libby and other guys and girls walked off the bus. Cindy followed Jimmy all around as they headed towards the door of the school. Jimmy felt her breath flying through his neck. He stopped in his tracks and he turned around when before they reached the lockers.
"Could you stop following me? You're kind of annoying", he commented, pissed off.
"Sorry... it's just... your cologne, it was kinda... hypnotizing and I'd just wanted to smell it", it was Cindy's excuse.
Jimmy's ewesgrew wide in surprise.
"And I just couldn't get off from you even in the bus", she added.
His cheeks turned from crimson to red.
"I-I was... not using a cologne, Cindy, it was just my deodorant", he said.
"Oh...", she realized.
They stayed silent for a moment, not knowing what to say, until Libby grabbed Cindy's wrist and pulled her away from Jimmy.
"Let's go, girl, that if you want to keep your reputation, of course", Libby angrily said.
"Bye, Jim", was Cindy's goodbye before she dissapeared with Libby onto a huge mass of walking students.
There Jimmy stood, trying to think of what was going on. As he was opening his locker and grabbing his books, he couldn't keep her off his mind. He realized that perhaps if Cindy had amnesia and she didn't remembered him, her good side would be released and she wouldn't have to hide her feelings. But what was left of the old Cindy? Nothing? No, it was still in her brain. But with the strong hit she received, her memories were somewhat blocked... and until her brain cells were repaired, if they were going to, it was going to be a long love and not hate relationship for him and Cindy. That would bring a caos. If the whole school and the whole town were aware of his love thing with her, then she could be exposed. The other problem was, what if he was really in love with her? Of course he didn't want to bring out a relationship, unless she would accept. Unless the old Cindy accept. This confused him.
"Unless the old Cindy accept... but meanwhile... what should I do?", Jimmy asked to himself.
"Girl, what's your problem?", Libby asked.
She dragged Cindy to an empty classroom, and closed the door.
"What are you talking about?", Cindy asked, confused.
"What happened recently, you've beenfollowing Jimmy's butt to no end!", Libby screamed.
"I-I'm not sure", Cindy replied. "But I think I'm in love with this guy...".
"What? What guy?", Libby asked. She raised an eyebrown and brought her hands over her chest.
"Jimmy, of course...", Cindy sighed as she said that.
The sigh was a sign of love, and not from defeat. Libby was shocked. This wasn't Cindy. Impossible! But still...
"Are you telling me that you actuallylove Jimmy?", she asked.
Cindy slowly nodded in answer.
"But... but... where's the old you?", Libby said. "Where's the old Cindy that I know and respect? Where's the old Cindy that fights with the guy she mentally loves and hides her feelings for him? Nerdtron? Spewtron? King Cranium? Doesthose sound familiar to you?".
Cindy thought for a moment, then shook her head.
"I don't know what you're talking about. He seems nice. He dresses and smells nice. He talks funny sometimes. And I'm pretty sure he gots something with me, too. But what I don't get it is why is that you say that we fight each other and we hide our feelings. It looks stupid to me", Cindy replied.
Libby didn't know what to say. It was sure it wasn't her anymore. But if so, it meant also that her nice side was exposed due to her amnesia (something that Jimmy was afraid of). She hadn't got any words to say, but Cindy broke the silence.
"The nicknames you say, does it belong to him? Who says those nicknames?", Cindy asked.
"You say it everyday... I-I mean, you said it everyday to him", Libby replied.
"They sound... pretty childish...", Cindy commented.
Libby nodded her head. "Yeah, but still, Cind, you and me... kinda liked that, 'cause... we liked cheating on him, doing pranks on him, bother his geeky friends, Sheen and Carl", she explained.
Cindy tried to absorb her words. But it was still difficult for her to understand.
"Why?", she asked, still confused.
"Because you said he had a show-offy brain and his inventions always brought trouble?", Libby replied.
"Did I say-Wait! Did you say he has... inventions?", Cindy asked.
"Yeah, he has his own laboratoryand stuff", Libby commented.
Cindy smiled.
"But he doesn't allow us to enter because of some stupid ladies rule", Libby added as she sighed.
Cindy's smile faded. "Why is that?", she asked..
"It was because of your constant fights with him he did that", Libby replied.
Constant fights? But... according to what she said, and what I thought, those fights are stupid, Cindy thought to herself. She broke the silence that filled the ambience moments after Libby spoke.
"Uhmmm... Can I meet his lab?",she asked.
Libby was taken back at this. "Girl, you don't have to ask me, you'll have to ask him", Libby said.
Cindy smiled again. "Ok, I will!", she said as her smile grew.
She opened the classroom door and she stepped outside of it, leaving a still shocked Libby. When she recovered, she realized she may have made a mistake. She ran after her to catch up to Cindy and warn her.
"Cind, wait!", she called.
Author's note: Oh, yeah, trouble begins! I've left you a cliffhanger 'cause I got nothing else to leave right now hehe. Chapter 5 is on the way.
