Jimmy impatiently tapped his pencil against the table. He bit on the end of the eraser for a moment before sighing and placing it down. "Come on, Jimmy. You're a genius. You can do this," he whispered to himself. He took a few deep breaths and rubbed the back of his neck. After he had calmed down, he picked up his pencil again and continued working.

As Jimmy continued writing, Cindy entered the Candy Bar. She took a quick glance around and noticed Jimmy sitting at a table near the window. She smiled and walked over to him. She sat across from the boy genius.

"Hey," she casually said.

Jimmy quickly moved his pupils to see who was sitting next to him. He smiled a little when he saw that it was Cindy, but continued writing. "Hey," he responded.

Cindy tried to get a good look at what he was writing, but his head was bent over it. "So, is that homework?"

Jimmy held up a finger to silence her for a moment and finished writing a sentence. He then folded the piece of paper in half and placed it in his pocket. "Uh, something like that." He leaned back in his seat and took a sip from his shake. "So, what brings you here?"

Cindy sighed. "I'm bored. I can't find Carl, Libby, or even Sheen. Do you have any idea where everyone is?"

Jimmy thought for a moment. "Well, Sheen's at an Ultralord convention. Libby's gone to the mall with her mom. And Carl is out with Bolbi at some petting zoo."

Cindy nodded. They both sat in silence for a few moments, not sure what to talk about. They didn't usually hang out alone together.

"Can we take a ride in your hover car?" Cindy asked.

Jimmy was a little surprised at her request, but shook his head. "I need to make some repairs on it."

After another few seconds of awkward silence, Cindy realized an excellent topic to talk about. "So, you know who's turning thirteen soon?"

Jimmy smiled. "Hmmmm, could it be you?"

Cindy nodded. "Yep. I'm finally going to be a teenager on..."

"December 14, one week from today," Jimmy finished.

Cindy cocked an eyebrow, clearly impressed. "I can't believe you remembered."

Jimmy shrugged. "Photographic memory, remember?"

Cindy rapped her knuckles against the table. "You know, you don't have to buy me anything," she innocently told him.

Jimmy laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not planning on buying you anything."

Cindy frowned and glared at him. "Good."

Jimmy just stared at her. She spun around and left the restaurant. "See ya later, Nerdtron."

Jimmy put down his shake and sighed. He rubbed his temple for a moment before pulling out his piece of paper again and continuing on his work.
