Disclaimer: Jimmy Neutron is not mine.

CINDY'S POV.

What the heck is his problem! Here I am, wanting to reconcile with him, but what did he just do? He ignores me like I didn't even exist!

Before I go to the cafeteria, I put my things inside my locker then I slammed the door close. I don't understand why I like that idiot!

I arrived at the cafeteria and sat at the table where Libby is.

"Ohh.. It looks like somebody's in a bad mood." Libby said, before biting in her sandwich.

I looked at her with a hint of irritation in my face, then I saw him in a distance behind Libby that irritates me more.

"Got into another fight with Jimmy?" Libby asked, leaning on the desk while holding her juice.

"I try to talk and reconcile with him earlier, but what did he do?! He ignores me like I'm not there!" I yelled.

"Relax girl. Maybe he's just avoiding fighting with you again, that's why he decided to ignore you."

"I don't know how you can look at the bright side of everything, even in the worst situation, but I'm not like you! I think that he's doing that just for payback! That's why I'm so argh!" I said out of anger.

"Well, just to let you know, thinking of the bright side instead of the bad ones makes a healthy relationship." She said sarcastically. I cocked an eyebrow at her.

"Really?"

"Yeah. If you're going to be mad at him every time he did things that you don't like, then you'll keep fighting and fighting until he gets tired and leaves you." Libby said in her normal tone.

I don't know why but her statement got me quiet.

She smiled at me and said "Now, that calms you a bit, right?"

I looked at her with a glare. Oh, so that was it huh.

"You're so hot-blooded girl, but I'm not kidding when I said that. So, you should keep that in mind."

"Whatever." I simply said before eating my lunch.

After the bell rings, everyone heads to class. I tried to ignore Neutron in class too, but sometimes I can't help myself to look at him and I caught him taking a glimpse at me that makes me smile inside.

Maybe Libby was right.

Maybe he still cares.

And I know he does.

He still likes me after all.

After class, we all head out of the room. As I am walking outside the school, I notice Neutron standing beside the road with his hover car beside him. Hmmm.. is he waiting for someone?

Our eyes met, and I saw how his eyes widened. He started to walk towards me, and my heart started to beat fast. I-is he waiting for me?

"H-hi." He greeted while scratching the back of his neck. I stare at him, and remembers what he did to me earlier.

I looked away and started to walk away from him. He thinks he can beat me at his own game? Huh!

"Cindy, wait!" he shouted, but I didn't stop walking.

"C-can I drive you home?" he asked, and this time I looked back at him.

"T-to show you I'm sorry." He said while looking down, then he looked back.

I smiled at him as a response.

We sit in his hover car with silence. I tried to look at him and he seems so nervous.

"So, how's the experiment going?" I asked, breaking the silence between us.

"It's going well. I'm almost there." He answered.

"Can't you just use the antidote that we made for Betty?"

"I can't, because what I feel is real and, I'm not affected with the potion, but I used that antidote as a base." He answered, that makes my face blush. He said that so bluntly. It's a proof that he's feeling is real. I smiled.

"That information made you happy huh. Well, in just a brief period of time, this feeling will soon be gone." He said that wipe the smile out of my face.

"Yeah.. right."

"You okay? Is there something wrong?" he asked me with a concern face.

"I was just wondering, what if you just stay like that, I mean, I have no problem with your feelings." I struggled explaining. He looked at me with widened eyes.

"You want me to stay this way?" he asked while looking at me. I smiled shyly and nodded.

He smiled at me, then looked at the road again. "That makes me feel.. happy all of the sudden."

I smiled more widely while looking at him, but his happiness suddenly changed into a sad face.

"But, you know that I'm not supposed to feel this way, right? This feeling will always be my problem." He said.

"But, I'm fine with it. I'm not bothered with it and…"

"Well, I am! I am bothered with it!" he yelled, while looking at me with an hurt expression.

"I know that you will not be affected by this, I mean, it's not like you like me or anything, but I am! I am affected and bothered with this feeling." He said sadly.

"Well, we will figure something out." I reasoned, then he looked at me with a confuse look on his face.

"Why are you suggesting that all of the sudden? Do you want to hurt me? Do you want to take advantage of me huh?"

"Of course not!" I answered defensively.

"Then why?! I thought, you don't like a big-headed idiot to like you!" he yelled, while having that hurt expression again.

I looked at him with silence. Should I confess? Or should I say something else?

"Just stop it Cindy, I'm already hurt more than you know. I'm just going to finish that antidote to stop this mess once and for all. So please, don't interfere." He said, still wearing that hurt expression.

"You think that liking me is a mess?" I asked calmly. He stared at me for a while before answering.

"Yes."

Now it's my turn to wear that hurt expression with a mix of anger. The hover car stopped, and we are at our street.

"Well, news flash, I think that my feelings for you is a mess too! It bothered and hurt me all of time! So, if you finished that stupid antidote of yours, give me some to finish this crap already!" I yelled, and I feel tears on the corner of my eyes.

I jump out of the hover car and ran as fast as I can inside my house.

That big-headed jerk!

CARL: What a sad chapter.

LIBBY: And, also good! They finally confessed to each other!

SHEEN: But, I think that It's sad because this story is about to end. T_T

LIBBY: Oh yeah… Cindy and Jimmy, what are your comments?
