The High School Debut

"Its one on one," rick told her and passed the ball to her. Then added "ladies first."

Cindy smirked and dribbled the ball around him so quick he could verily see her. She got to 3 pointer line and made a clean shot to the basket. You could hear the ball swish through the net. Rick started to get angry, but kept his cool as Cindy tossed him the ball singling it was his turn to start. He then started to dribble the ball until it was swept away from him and shot into the basket. His anger rose as the expressionless Cindy tossed him the ball again. He quickly moved forward and shot the ball so high in the air no girl could reach it or so he thought.

Cindy lept up grabbing the ball and did a mid air flip then landed gracefully on the court. She shot the ball into the basket making it 3 to zero. This signaled the game has come to an end. Cindy started to walk back to where her friends sat, when a furious rick grabbed her wrist and was about to hit her, but Cindy recoiled by breaking out of his wrist lock and pulling his arm back so far it was almost to the point of breaking. She then pushed her other arm against his throat tight enough to where he could verily breath.

"That would be very unwise." she said as venom dripped with each word.

Rick gulped and Cindy released him from her grasp, and continued to walk where her friends were.

She sat down next to her friends.

"well look the Cindy we know is coming back to us after all." Sheen stated.

Cindy didn't say anything to his comment, but thought 'was that really the old me? No, that was the me that was forced to be born.'

Cindy turned to look at Jimmy. Worry filled his face. She clenched one hand onto her jeans and tried to show a smile, but knew he was too smart to buy it.

The basketball incident of Cindy the "new" girl creaming Rick's butt spread like wild fire.

As they walked into the cafeteria Libby directed Cindy to where the gang usually sat as the boys walked to the lunch line. The girls pulled out their homemade lunches and conversed with each other.

"Isn't homemade lunches the way to go. I try to convince the boys that homemade lunches are way healthier then school lunches, but they never care. I mean who knows what they put in those lunches," Libby said.

"yeah," Cindy said while carefully watching the cafeteria food being put on the student's trays.

"Cindy are you okay girl?" Libby asked a little worried.

"Huh, yeah. I'm fine." Cindy said as she turned back to face Libby.

Libby gave her a somethings up look as the boy's sat down at the table.

"Man, the lines feel like they get longer each day." Sheen complained.

"well that's why you should bring your own food." Libby stated to Sheen.

"The foods not that bad Libby. Here Cindy try some." Jimmy said holding a spoon of mashed potatoes out to Cindy.

"No thanks, Jimmy." Cindy said waving her hand as a signal of no.

"Oh come on, just a bite." Jimmy urged on.

"No." Cindy said a little more firmly.

"Come on its not like it poisoned or something." Jimmy said with a chuckle.

However Cindy didn't laugh but just starred at the food intensely.

"Okay then," Jimmy said unsure of what to say to her reaction.

He sat down his spoon and thought 'does she really think its poisoned,' but before he could come to a conclusion. Brittney and Nick came to there table.

"oh, my gosh. I just heard the news that your back Cindy, so I just had to come over here and say hi. So what have you been up to?" Brittney asked.

"hey Brit. Hey Nick. I'm fine." Cindy said verily looking up at them

"Thats great. Oh, you just have to come to my party on Saturday its going to be A-mazing." She said over joyed.

"I don't know. I just moved back to town and I still have more unpacking to do." Cindy said trying to avoid having to go.

"Come on Cindy. We will all go with you. Besides Brittney's party's are always fun." Libby said trying to persuade Cindy.

"See, so you just have to come." Brittney said as she touched Cindy's arm. Cindy flinched at the touch, but no one noticed except Jimmy. Who has been concentrating on her for a while now.

'whats going on with her.' Jimmy thought.

"well be there," Libby said answering for Cindy.

Cindy only sighed and gave a slight smile to Britney, then looked over at Nick who winked at her. Nick still had his signature look. A lollipop in his mouth a leather jacket and slicked back hair. His height was around 6'2 now.

Cindy just shrugged at his gesture, but Jimmy didn't like it. He didn't know what exactly him and Cindy were right now, when it came to a relationship, however he still wanted to lightly wrap his arm around Cindy's waist stating that she was his. He thought better of it though considering how shes been acting, especially with touching.

Lunch went by faster then usual Jimmy thought, as him and Cindy headed in no particular direction. This was both their open period time. Normally Jimmy would go to the library to do some homework so he wouldn't have any when he got home, but he didn't want to do that now since Cindy was with him.

"what should we do Neutron?" Cindy asked.

"hm, well how about we go across the street to the cafe." Jimmy suggested.

"Okay." Cindy said and they walked to the cafe.
