Unexpected
Chapter 13
Michelle's POV
When I first saw Jimmy, I knew something was wrong. The way he paced around the room and staring at the bathroom door anxiously. I decided to give the boys a little alone time and go check on Libby and Cindy.
"Uh...maybe this is a two person job," I said before walking to the bathroom and walking in hesitantly.
"Cindy? Libby?" I said, walking slowly.
"Hey Michelle, we're in here." I heard Libby's voice come from nearby stall. Confused, I opened the door to the stall to see Libby pressed up against the wall of the stall (as there was hardly any room for two people) and Cindy was sitting on the back of the toilet, holding a cell phone.
"What are you doing in here?" I asked.
Libby shrugged. "Cindy threatened to throw her cell phone in the toilet." She said simply.
Now I was even more confused. Libby, obviously seeing the confused look on my face said, "Her friend Ashley won't answer her cell phone so she could pick her up."
"SCREW CELL PHONES!" Cindy yelled suddenly. I jumped. She made a gesture that looked like she was about to throw the cell phone in the toilet again but stopped, staying silent again.
Libby shook her head, closing her eyes and rubbing her temples.
"Well...," I said. "Why don't you take her home?" I asked Libby.
She shook her head. "Oh no...one, I don't know where she lives. Two, that horrible snowstorm will probably be the death of me if Cindy isn't, and three, I really need to get back to the shop soon." She looked up. "Why don't you?"
Now it was my turn to shake my head. "I ain't driving in that snowstorm either!"
"SCREW JIMMY NEUTRON AND CELL PHONES!" I jumped again.
"Girl...calm down." Libby soothed.
"But I can't! He's such an idiot, but I really need to talk to him...wanna go get him for me?" Cindy looked up with hopeful eyes.
"Oh, hell no! Either you get the guts to go out there yourself or you can rot in here!" Libby exclaimed. Cindy's face fell.
"You're right. So...you wanna go distract Sheen and Carl out there for me then?" She said.
"Oh, gladly." Libby said, perking up. I looked at her suspiciously. "What? I haven't seen my ex-boyfriend in seven years either, I should be able to talk to him, too!"
I smiled and shook my head. "Well come on then, let's go sort this thing out." I walked out of the stall and waited by the door. Libby walked out, and I heard Cindy's heels as they hit the floor gently as she got down. I was about to walk out when I heard a watery plop! And a sheepish "Oops!"
Libby sighed and put her head in her hands. "What happened?"
"Uh...my cell phone kinda accidently fell into the toilet." I had to stifle my laugh. I walked back into the stall and looked into the toilet to see Cindy's pink razr phone staring up at me. "That's just great!" Cindy slapped her hand against the door, and pulling it back, and shaking, a look of pain across her face. I jumped for the third time that night.
"That's what you get for almost throwing it in there twice," Libby was leaning against the counter, grinning. Cindy glared at her. I turned back to the toilet again when I heard a muffled ringing from inside of it. I peered at it and read aloud, "Ashley calling."
Cindy looked even more mad now. "Oh, so now she calls me after I couldn't get a hold of her for 20 freakin' minutes!"
"Uh...we can get somebody else to fish it out later...that is, if it's still working by then. But you're an actress, you can buy a new one, right?" Libby said, making her way to the door again.
Cindy sighed, following Libby, with me in tow. "I guess."
"Now let's get out of here!" Libby opened the door and made a dramatic sweeping gesture with her hand, motioning us out. Cindy stepped behind me and pushed me out first. I groaned and stepped out, walking, more like jogging towards the guys.
"Okay listen. I think Cindy is on her last nerve right now...she kinda had a little mishap with her cell phone...she dropped it in the toilet." I stopped when I heard Sheen snicker. I glared at him. "I don't wanna anybody to say anything, let her be the first person to say something. I believe she wants to talk to you anyway. Alone." I pointed to Jimmy and his eyes widened. "Just don't get on her bad side, okay?"
Cindy and Libby walked up behind me, Libby staring right at Sheen, and Cindy staring at the floor, glancing at Jimmy every once in awhile.
I sighed again. This wasn't going to be easy.
A/N: Looks like Michelle is having a little trouble helping Cindy too! She has to help Cindy and Libby. Sounds like fun! Please R&R, here's the song:
Invisible by Ashlee Simpson
Like a grain on the beach
Like a star in the sky
Far too many to count
With the naked eye
They will see you
Go ahead walk on by
You don't know I'm alive
Maybe one day you'll find
You should open your eyes (your eyes)
You don't know me
(Chorus)
You're the one that looks right through me
Now you're saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
And you're the one who walks right through me
Now you're saying that you knew me
When I was invisible
Little things adding up
Try so hard not to rush
Giving in, letting go
Of the world we know
They won't see you
Force it down, lose the taste
They all think it's a waste
We don't need to believe
Every word they say now (say now)
They don't know me
(Chorus)
It's so easy
To be lost
But maybe
You're not lost at all
Whoa Whoa
Do you recognize me?
Whoa Whoa
Do you know who I am?
Whoa Whoa
Do you see me now?
Do you see me now?
(Chorus)
I'm invisible
I'm invisible
