I have waited LONG enough to write this first chapter. I decided to wait until I REALLY wanted to write, and that time is now. You're lucky it wasn't longer! Also, forget all the stuff I said I would change in the little description/explanation thing I put before this. Except for the fact that Jimmy/Chris will NOT be fat in the beginning. They will be of course, 18 in this chapter, and this chapter only, because they will be graduating. You're probably not even reading this so I should stop right...now!

I don't Jimmy Neutron or the movie "Just Friends". Duh.

Chapter 1

Jimmy/Chris's POV

May 13, 1995 Saturday 6:53 P.M.

Jimmy sat at his desk in his room, pondering at what he should write Cindy's yearbook. He knew that he should write how he REALLY felt about her, but he wasn't sure that it was such a good idea. He, of course being a genius, was known as the nerd in school. And Cindy was the popular one. She got the jerks as boyfriends, such as Nick, and kept him in the 'Friend Zone'.

How he hated the Friend Zone. Sure, it was nice being one of her best friends, but he wanted more. So, he wrote in her yearbook that he liked her more than a friend. He sure hoped she liked him more than a friend, too.

All of a sudden, he heard a boyish giggle.

"Which one of your brother's a homo?" Jason Neutron laughed, raising his right arm, while Jimmy chased him out of the room.

He sat back down at his desk and sighed.

"I am NOT a homo."

Jimmy made his way through the thickening crowd, noticing all of his classmates and fellow graduates. He spotted Sheen and Libby in the crowd, and headed over to them.

"I love you!" Libby said, and Jimmy could tell the couple was getting serious, although you couldn't tell by the way they talked to each other.

"Hey!" He said.

"Hey!" Sheen replied, noticing Cindy's yearbook in his hand. "So...tonight's the big night, huh?"

Jimmy nodded. "Where's Cindy, and why are all these people here?"

"The Vortex's decided to throw Cindy a surprise graduation party!" Libby explained.

"I think I saw Cindy go into the garage with the football team," Sheen said.

Oh great. He made his way through the crowded house, and opened the door to the garage. He spotted Cindy dancing over in the left corner, and he could see Nick trying to dance with her.

She spotted him almost immediately, and screamed loudly. She ran over to him and gave him a big bear hug.

"Hey!" She exclaimed. Without another word, she grabbed his hand and pulled him up two flights of stairs to her room.

They both sat down on the unmade bed and Cindy rolled over on her back.

"Woooh...I can't believe we graduated!" She said.

"Yeah...," Jimmy said, slightly nervous.

"Listen, Cindy-"

"Cindy!" Nick stormed into the room, cutting off Jimmy. He pushed him off the bed and kneeled at Cindy's feet. "Sign my yearbook?" He said, picking up a yearbook off the bed beside him.

"No...maybe later, ok?" She said.

"Can I do you later?" He said slyly and then laughed.

"Haha...," Cindy laughed sarcastically and rolled her eyes. Nick made his way to the door and managed to yell before he walked out the doorway, "I need a beer!"

"So...did you want to tell me something?" Cindy said.

"Yeah, actually, I was-"

He was cut off once again to a knock on the door. He rushed over to it and opened it. Stepped in a tall, lanky guy carrying a guitar with long hair, glasses, and an acne covered face.

"Hey Dusty," Cindy greeted.

"H-hi," He stuttered.

"I didn't know you played guitar," She said, cocking her head towards the instrument in his arms.

"Y-yeah...I kinda w-wanted to play y-you a s-song I wrote...It's c-called, 'Cindy S-smiles'," He struggled with his words. He strummed his guitar and started to sing,

"When Cindy smiles..." He hit a bad note and stopped.

"Hold on," He said. He started once again,

"When Cindy smiles..." The same thing happened and he gave a frustrated sigh.

"He's crazy," Jimmy whispered to Cindy. She stared on, wide-eyed.

"I-I got it," He started up again,

"When Cindy..." He hit the same bad note and stomped his foot.

"Damn it!" He exclaimed. Jimmy couldn't take it anymore, so he calmly got up.

"Dusty," He said, sticking his lower lip out. He walked towards him and ushered him to the door.

"Why don't you come back later, and sing it for her?" Jimmy said.

"It's b-beautiful," Dusty protested.

"I'm sure it is," Jimmy said, and closed the door on him.

Cindy sighed, "What did you have to say?"

Jimmy opened his mouth and nothing came out. He opened it again and said, "Here, just read this," He handed her the yearbook on the bed. He walked over to the mirror as she read,

"Hey Stud Muffin, it was a great night in your love truck..." She stopped and gasped.

Jimmy rushed over there and grabbed the yearbook from her hand's. "I didn't write this! This is Nick's yearbook!"

He gasped in realization. "OH NO!"

He rushed out of the room and down the first flight of stairs, only to see Nick reading what he wrote to the whole graduating class.

"And I just wanted to let you know, I want to be MORE than friends!" Nick exclaimed, and everybody gasped and looked at him. They started laughing. Sheen and Libby shared a look and gazed at Jimmy sympathetically.

Jimmy grabbed the book from his hands and ran down the stairs. Cindy stood at the bottom looking on, confused. He ran outside and to his car. Cindy chased him and grabbed his hand.

"Do you really mean that?" She asked.

"I don't know, why?" He said, still not looking at her.

"Because that's the nicest thing anybody has ever said to me," She said tearfully.

"I love you Jimmy Neutron," She finished.

His eyes widened and went in for a full kiss on the lips, but she only kissed him on the cheek.

"Like a brother," She said when she pulled away.

The window curtains opened beside them inside and Tim and his gang were screaming and laughing. They ran outside.

"Shut up! Can't you just leave him alone!" Cindy screamed.

Jimmy had had enough. "I'm leaving! This stupid town, with the stupid people! Have a nice life, jerks!"

He directed this to the football team and everybody else who was laughing at him of course, and got into his car and sped off, leaving Cindy just as confused as before.

A/N: This was FOUR freakin pages! It was pretty fun to write though. Hope you liked it! R&R!
