Chapter Six

"Hey, Neutron!" Said a voice from the distance.

"Hey Vortex. Could this be quick? I have to go meet Kier—" Jimmy said.

"Don't even say that name to me ever, ever again." Cindy said.

"No. I have to go meet Kiersten." Jimmy said plainly.

"Fine. Just one thing, why do you date her?" Cindy asked.

"Because, I do, Why do you care?"

"Just because! Tell me!" Cindy said.

"No, you don't need to know Cindy."

"Fine. Oh, and did you hear?"

"Hear what?" Jimmy asked.

"Libby and Sheen are dating." Cindy said.

"No!" Jimmy said surprised, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah." Cindy said walking away, Jimmy tagging along to hear about the surprising yet obvious news.

"Since when?" Jimmy asked excitedly.

"Yesterday." Cindy said.

"But their date was just three days ago!" Jimmy said.

"Yeah…you want to come in?" Cindy said, they had walked to her house.

"Sure, as long as I'm back by five o'clock." Jimmy said.

"Okay, it's only Three o' clock." Cindy said.

Two and a half hours went by and Cindy and Jimmy were in deep conversation.

"Yeah, yeah I know! What time is it?" Jimmy asked laughing.

"Five o' clock." Cindy said.

"What?"

"Five o' clock why?"

"I have to go! I had a great time, bye!" Jimmy ran out the door.

"Bye."

"Hey, Kiersten!" Jimmy said running up to her house, Kiersten was sitting outside.

"Oh, it's you." Kiersten said.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to stay that long!" Jimmy said.

"Stay? Stay where? Actually don't answer that. I don't care, in fact thank the person for keeping you away so long." Kiersten said standing up.

"What?" Jimmy said cautiously, "What does that mean?"

"Jimmy I can't hold this charade up any longer, Jimmy, I don't like you, I've never really liked you, in fact, I'm sorry but we—"

"Don't even say we can just be friends, you know that won't work." Jimmy said.

Kiersten looked at Jimmy tears filling up her eyes, in her head thinking 'why did I ever pretend to be his girlfriend, now I've lost what could have been a good friendship'

"P-Please Jimmy, I w-was t-t-trying to upset Cindy, and it worked, so I held it up, and, and I'm sorry!" Kiersten said.

"So, Cindy was, was jealous? Why would she be jealous? And why did you want Cindy jealous? And why did you kiss me?" Jimmy said, so many more questions floating in his head.

"Well, answer your first question yes she was jealous, answer your third question I never liked Cindy, she liked Nick, well so I thought, but when I kissed you, just to see if I liked you, just to let you know, but when I saw her and her face after that, I realized she likes you, and it was fun making her jealous, so that also answers your last questions."

"Well, then…hold on you think Cindy likes me?" Jimmy said starting to laugh. "I highly doubt that!"

"She does Jimmy, if you would just pay attention, you would see." Kiersten said, as Jimmy stopped laughing.

"Well, I, I guess we can be friends still, but I'm really sor—" Jimmy said but was interuppted.

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to, well, bye."

"No! Nick stay and explain yourself, and tell me why you were a—"

"Jerk?" Nick said.

"Yeah, a jerk." Kiersten said.

"I'll go." Said Jimmy.

With Kiersten and Nick

"I was thinking, maybe, do you think maybe you could forgive me? I am so sorry! I was a real jerk and I know I don't deserve another chance, but if you could, well, if I could somehow make it up to you…please, I-I've been a wreck without you." Nick said. Kiersten looked at him with the happiest look ever.

"That, was the… best apology ever. I mean you and Andrea will not be together again, why make me sad, okay Nick I forgive you!" Kiersten said Kissing Nick.

Nick smiled.

"Carl? Sheen? Anyone?"

"Hey Jimmy! I'm looking for Carl too! I know where sheen is, he's at the Candy Bar with Libby, I'll go with you Carl could be there too." Said Andrea.

"Okay." Said Jimmy.

"So what's new?" Asked Andrea.

"Well, Andrea, your sister broke up with me, and now I realize I like someone else, but I think I screwed that up, because I kept blowing her off to hang out with Kiersten." Jimmy said.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Is it Cindy? I bet it's Cindy." Andrea said, "Who is it?"

"It's Cindy." Jimmy said.

"I knew it! Jimmy, in case you haven't noticed, Cindy likes you a lot, she's probably waiting for you to come to your senses! I mean, you've finally realized who you really like, don't mess that up." Andrea said.

"Thanks Andrea. You actually helped." Jimmy said.

"Hey, Andrea hey Jimmy!" Called Sheen.

"Hey, Sheen, Hey Libby." Andrea said, "Oh Carl!"

"Hey." Carl said, "Jimmy! I was there the one place is…it's g-gone!" Said Carl.

"What place?" Asked Jimmy.

"Just the store!" Carl said.

"It happens again! Sweet!" Sheen said.
