Chapter 6: Old friends

(Jimmy's p.o.v.)

School was over and I was on the couch trying to figure out this math problem. This was also a science problem. Having to find the gravitational force. Everytime I get an answer, one of the proxies will check it and tell me that it's wrong. I tried everything but eventually gave up and asked for help.

"I GIVE UP!" I groaned as Benny showed me how to do it, giving me the right answer.

"It's not that hard." She said giggling softly.

"Easy for you to say, I tried everything." I said slamming my head onto the table.

"Well, at least you're done with your homework now." She said patting my head, "I'll be upstairs if you need anything."

I grunted in response just leaving my head there. After a moment of laying my head there, I lifted up to be met by Jackie's eyeless sockets jumping abit. She giggled softly and leaned back.

"You alright?" She asked.

"Yeah, just hating math right now." I replied.

"So I've heard." She said, "Hey let's head into town for a bit. Get your mind off math for a bit."

"Alright… wait, how? Won't you get noticed?" I asked looking at her.

"When we go into town just for fun and not to kill anyone we appear like any other human thanks to a spell Slenderman did." She replied, "Now come one it will be fun."

I smiled and got up. Once we let Slenda know where we're going, we left.

We finally entered town and saw that there was an event going on in the town center.

"Want to go check it out?" I asked looking at her.

"Sure, seems fun." She replied.

I looked over to here and saw that she actually looked human. Her hair was still brown but it was more shinier than usual. Here eyes were a beautiful emerald green color and her skin was a pale peach color matching her eyes and hair perfectly. Her teeth weren't pointy any more and her lips were full and and had pink lip gloss on them.

"Woah." I said in amazement at her looks.

"W-what?" She asked, blushing slightly when she realized I was staring, "Do I look that bad?"

"No, you look beautiful." I replied, "Well I mean you always have."

'WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?' I shouted mentally.

Her face went from peach to a bright red as she froze in the middle of the sidewalk.

"Jackie?" I asked looking at her getting no response, "I think I broke her…."

I poked her cheek and nothing. I looked around and got an idea.

"FREE KIDNEYS ARE OVER THERE!" I shouted.

Nothing. I sighed as I pulled out my phone and called her brother who gave me his number during lunch.

"E.J here." He greeted.

"Hey, it's Jimmy, I think I broke your sister." I said hearing a cough as if he spit something out.

"H-how did you managed that?" He asked.

"I called her beautiful." I replied.

There was a moment of silence before he busted out laughing causing me to move the phone away from my ear.

"HOLY SHIT SHE ACTUALLY REACTED WHEN SOMEONE CALLED HER BEAUTIFUL!" He shouted as he continued to laugh. "First you beaten her in a sparring match and now she doesn't know what to do to being called beautiful. You are now my favorite human."

"This never happened before?" I asked.

"She's been called beautiful or sexy before but she just shrugged them off." He replied.

"Oh… so… how do I fix her?" I then asked.

"Have you tried shouting free kidneyes?" He asked.

"Yup, nothing." I replied.

"Oh boy…" He said, "Try, tickling her. I have to go now, Slenderman needs me."

"Alright…" I said hanging up looking at Jackie, "Well… here goes nothing."

I put my hands on her sides and gave them a squeeze. In an instant she squealed as she tried squirming away."

"No, no, no, don't do that." She said trying not to laugh as I kept tickling her.

"Ah, welcome back to the world of the living." I said stopping. "You froze up there."

"S-sorry about that," She said, her blush going down but still visible, "Shall we head to the event?"

"Yeah." I said walking off, with her next to me.

As we walked, people looked at us. Some jealous, some confused, and some as if they think we're a cute couple. Which confused me.

"It's a beautiful night." I said, trying to start a conversation.

"Indeed, it's nice to walk around when you aren't killing someone." Jackie said. "Or getting chased by Zalgo and Zalga's proxies."

"Wouldn't know about the killing part but yeah, today was interesting first day for me." I said chuckling softly.

"Indeed it has. I'm still going to kick your ass for telling everyone you kicked my ass in a sparring match." she said, softly shoving me.

"I told you that was Jill not me." I said, "What are you going to do if I told, someone, that you froze when I called you beautiful."

"Who. Did. You. Tell?." She asked menacingly at me.

"Y-your brother…" I replied, backing away slowly.

"... you're dead…" She said.

"So…. run?" I asked terrified.

"Yup."

~time skip brought to you by Chibi Jackie chasing Chibi Jimmy and tackling him into the event place~

I was on the ground panting heavily as Jackie was on top of me, her hands on each side of my head, her legs on each side of my waist and staring down at me, panting as well. I looked around and saw that people were giving us weird looks.

"Um, Jackie, can you get off?" I asked, "People are staring."

She smirked and got up bringing me with.

"I win." she said. "You can actually run when needed."

"I thought you were gonna kill me." I said looking at her, "You said I was dead."

"True…. Well, at least we got where we needed." She said giggling, "Come on, let's have some fun."

It was a fair and there were couples and families everywhere. Whatever this event is for, it sure is big.

"Do you by any chance know what this event is for?" I asked.

"What's today?" She asked.

"September fourth I believe." I replied.

"It's the music festival, one of the biggest festivals in the city." She answered my previous question.

"Ah, well let's go check out what bands will be singing." I said.

"Silly, the people here are the bands." She said.

"HUNTER GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW!" A female voice said that I knew well enough.

A smile grew on my face as I saw my short friend Alex looking at Hunter who was running off somewhere.

"Do you know her?" Jackie asked noticing my smile.

"Yeah, she's one of my old friends before i moved here." I replied, "Let's go say hi."

Jackie nodded as she followed me to Alex, who wasn't paying any attention to her surroundings.

"HI THERE LEPRECHAUN!" I shouted causing her to scream loudly.

I fell on the ground and began laughing.

"ALEX YOU OKAY!?" Hunter shouted running towards her but stopped as he saw me on the ground. "Alex… look behind you on the ground."

She did as she was told and sighed shaking her head.

"I should've known it would be you." she said, "Where the hell have you been?"

"What you mean?" I asked calming down, "Nevermind. I forgot to tell you I moved."

"Again?" Hunter asked. "How come?"

"Well, it's hard to explain, but its with bunch of other people who are nice." I replied, "In Fact ones here with me."

I pointed to Jackie who was smiling softly.

"Dude, how the hell did you manage to get a girl like that?" Hunter said, only to be elbowed in the gut."

"Um…. we-" I said but stopped when a voice called out to Hunter and Alex.

"There you guys are, I heard Alex scream is she alright?"

I was frozen. Why was she here. I mean yeah I've forgiven her but I wasn't expecting her to see her so soon.

"Hey Maria, and yeah she's fine, just got scared by an old friend." Hunter replied,

"Old friend… JIMMY!" Maria shouted hugging me tightly.

I didn't do anything. Didn't stop her, didn't hug back. I was confused. After a while I calmed down and hugged back gently.

"Hey there Maria." I said, "mind letting go now?"

She nodded and got off. She smiled but it went away when she saw Jackie, who also had a sour look on her face.

"Do… you two know each other?" I asked, not liking the aura they were giving off.

"Why the hell are you here?" Maria asked, ignoring my question.

"I'm hanging out with my boyfriend." Jackie said pointing to me causing me to cough at this.

"What?" I asked confused

"EXCUSE ME!? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!" Maria shouted.

"Jackie" Jackie replied, "Pleasure to meet the slut who cheated on Jimmy."

I backed away towards Hunter and Alex as they kept arguing.

"What the hell is happening?" I asked.

"I… honestly don't know…" Alex replied,

"Me either." Hunter added.

This kept going till I started to get annoyed.

"Enough you two." I said stepping in between them "Maria, you lost me when you fucked that bastard Jack. I'm sorry to hear that he molested you, i really am. But we're no longer an item, so I don't know why you're so upset about what Jackie called me. Jackie… we'll talk when we get home."

"Alright." Jackie said calming down.

Maria mumbled walking away.

"So, will you two be singing together?" Alex said, trying to break the tension in the air.

"I'm not that good of a singer…" I replied/

"BULLSHIT!" Hunter shouted, "You can sing, i heard you when you where on the track by yourself"

"Fuck, I thought no one heard…" I said.

"Come on, it will be fun." Alex said.

I groaned knowing that they won't stop bugging me if I keep refusing.

"Fine, you win." I said, gaining cheers from them

~Short time skip because i'm too lazy to go through what they did at the fair~

Everyone in the crowd cheered loudly and even more loudly at what Jackie did. My eyes widen widely when I felt her lips press on to mine. I blinked a few times before melting into the kiss and kissed back pulling her close. Alex and Hunter cheered as this happened while maria stomped off.

"Well looks like you two might be the winners." Hunter said, coming onto the stage wrapping his arms around us.

"Yeah, well, even if we didn't win anything, I feel like i won." I said smiling looking at Jackie

"Jackie, can I talk to you?" Alex asked.

"Sure." Jackie replied.

(Jackie's p.o.v.)

Jimmy's friend, Alex pulled me aside with a stern look on her face.

"What is it you wanted to talk about?" I asked.

"I'm assuming Jimmy told you about Maria right?" She replied.

"Yeah, the slut who cheated on him, what about her?" I asked.

"Jimmy took that hard. He may say that it didn't hurt him but the look on his face when he left. It's like a part of him left." She explained, "I want your word that you won't do the same thing maria did."

"I won't." I said smiling.

"Good, the last thing he needs is another heartbreak." She then said, "so how long have you known him?"

"Hmm about three weeks." I replied.

"Ahh ok and how do you know Maria?" She then asked, catching me off guard.

"Ummm we… used to go to school when we were kids." I replied, "We used to best friends…"

"Ah, OK." she said, "Well let's get back to your lover boy."

"Yeah, plus, hunter might be pestering him again." I said.

"Well they are best friends." She said.
