Ready Or Not, Here Comes Love

Chapter 8

I'd like to thank everyone who's sticking with me and reviewing. It means a lot that you would take the time to do so, even to just leave a comment. Your reviews always make my day.

I don't deserve you! :)

"-and then my pillow called me fat. So I ate it."

"Carl, you are such a goof!" Elke laughed. Sheen and Jimmy were staring at the redheaded oddly.

"I do tell a good story." Carl snorted happily.

"Yeah..." Jimmy shook his head, breaking his stare. "Anyway, I sent a text to Cindy and she said they are on their way." He spoke sweetly at the last part. Sheen nudged Carl and they chuckled. Elke shot them a small glare.

"So you were saying Carl?" They had immidiatly stopped laughing, and Elke smiled.

Life continued on as normal, until Betty and her friend approached the group. Jimmy stood clutching his phone dreamily, barely registering the fact Betty was there. Sheen was busy argueing with Carl about something stupid as Elke greeted the brunette kindly.

"Hello Miss Betty." She waved slightly at her and Betty smiled.

"Hi Urkle!" She then turned to Jimmy. "Jimmy, how are you?"

Elke frowned at the wrong name and abrubt dismissal. She folded her arms and went back to the boys. She's a get mul... At least I was being nice.

She shrugged helplessly and let herself get caught up in the heated debate between who was the worst person/thing ever; Robo-Fiend or spinache. The three had successfully shut out Jimmy and Betty, deciding their friend could handle her; if not, Cindy was on her way.

"I'm fine Betty, and yourself?" He barely glanced at her, he was sending another massage to Cindy. He failed to noticee Betty's eyes narrowing before assuming her normal sweet stance.

"Oh, just peachy, except..."

"Hm?"

"I just wanted to say sorry about you and Cindy, it's quite tragic." She frowned prettily. She had gained Jimmy's attention. His expression conveyed confusion. "I mean, you two were just so cute together." She shook her head sadly.

"What happened?"

"Oh? She didn't... tell you?"

"Tell me what, dammit?"

"If she hasn't told you, there is no way I'll spill." Betty turned as if she was going to walk away, simply buying time until Jimmy spoke up.

Right on cue, he did. "Betty, wait." She faced him and sighed loudly.

"Alright, so here's the thing - you were injected with a love potion..."

She told her tale, and Jimmy stood silently. His deep blue eyes widened to the point where they were as large as saucers. Love potion... Impossible! I've liked her for quite some time, so why would Betty decieve me? What could she possibly gain from this?

"Liar."

On their way to the gym, the ivory-skinned blonde talked with the black beauty. The were chatting animatedly with one another.

"Obviously, we'll have to be rid of the potion."

"Definatly." Libby nodded in agreement.

Cindy bit her lip, hesitating. "You, you are sure he loves me, right?"

"There ain't a doubt in my mind. I would stake my entire music collection on it. Hell, I'd stake myself on it!"

"I'm gonna trust you on this, Libs, but if you're wrong-"

"Yeah, yeah," Libby rolled her eyes at Cindy's mock-threatening expression. "You'll hurt us all." The two girls burst into laughter. Cindy felt her phone vibrate and checked it.

You're gonna be late. You should hurry, we're waiting. :) it read, from Jimmy. Quickly typing back, she said she and Libby would be there in a few.

"Lets get a move on sistah, we've got my boy to decontaminate!"

"Goddammit! Why do you keep doing that?" The boy got hit upside the head again.

"Because you keep losing." The slapper said. She grinned and stared at him intensely. When he blinked, Belle slapped him. "You suck!"

"Do not, Princess!" Casey retorted.

"Do too, poofer!"

"Guys, shut up!" Their friend half yelled, half whispered.

"You shut up ass hat! I'm divulging in a stimulating conversation with my esteemed colleague!" Belle glared.

"Really, shit's going down over there - Jimmy is close to yelling at Betty because of something she said about him and Cindy..." Jeff shushed them, trying to listen to the two people standing near the gym doors. "I need to hear this, because ever since they cancelled my favourite soap opera, all I have is petty high school drama!"

His two peers glanced at him oddly before directing their attention to the "petty high school drama" he was obsessing over.

Inside the gym, Elke was completly focused. She knew that UltraLord could take out Llama Boy, but if Llama Boy's female partner, Llamanda, were to lend a hand... She spoke with conviction in her voice as she tried to explain to Sheen.

Carl was on her side no doubt, but the other boy was adament on UltraLord defeating anyone. She was about to argue further, but stopped when she felt a chill up her spine. Abandoning the futile conversation, she realized that there was a sudden tenseness added to the room.

Cindy had stepped through the doors with Libby, laughing about something. She had immidiatly seen her rival and her boyfriend standing together, and had stopped. Jimmy and Betty themselves had not noticed, but the rest of the gym inhabitants did.

"You're only acting like you love her, it's the potion." She said smoothly.

"Your a liar, Betty. I've always been in love with Cindy, since elementary school!"

So, here's the chizz... I know it's a day late and a (couple) dollar(s) short, but better something to tide you over until nextime then nothing at all (right? right?).

I've been doing HSB crap all this and last week (me and all the other sophmores; it's the new version of WASL and sounds more like an STD... at least with WASL we could dignify it with "waffle") and have been super stressed.

So did you guys like the cliffy? (I actually ran out of steam right there... I'm ashamed to admit.) I'm working on finding a way to continue this! XC Any suggestions will be helpful! If I use them, I promise credit and love love love!

Hope you enjoyed reading, please reveiw!
