Chapter 10.
Jimmy was soon released from the hospital with a clean bill of health.
Once he was home it was late but Jimmy was in a rush and went down to his lab Goddard greeted Jimmy enthusiastically. "Wanna help me make some changes boy."
Goddard nodded and they got to work.
He then decided to make a change to the security protocols. He finished and grabbed a quick shower and saw he still had time and went back out to finish the changes.
He had already rewritten the lab's security allowing one other to access the lab. He still needed to change one thing first.
Cindy walked over to see her boyfriend today was his first day back. She dressed in black jeans a green top and her hair flowed down. She saw Jimmy he was wearing blue jeans and his signature red shirt. He was working on the front of the club house on the DNA scanner.
"Hey, Jimmy," She looked to his clothes and shook her head "Libby and I really need to take you to the mall and get your clothes updated." Jimmy kept working "Maybe, been needing to go to the mall."
Cindy looked to what Jimmy was doing "What are you doing the doctor told you to rest." Cindy said concerned as she crossed her arms. Jimmy finished adjusting the DNA scanner and closed and resecured the faceplate.
"Just finishing an upgrade to the DNA scanner." Jimmy stood up and he turned to Cindy who looked confused it still looked the same. Jimmy smiled "Test it, Cindy, you may be surprised."
Curious Jimmy reached for her hair and she took a step back "Jimmy, I just got my hair the way I like it, let me." She raised her hand to her hair and took a single strand. She was hesitant and raised her hair to the scanner.
Worried something may happen she looked to her boyfriend seeing he was smiling but not mischief but pride. Deciding to trust her boyfriend she did as requested.
The scanner checked the hair and the door opened and Vox's voice was heard "Welcome Ms. Cindy Vortex." Cindy looked to Jimmy "You gave me access to the lab?"
Jimmy nodded "What can I say I thought if you wanted to come over and I'm working you could let yourself in."Come on see the changes I made last night, I just finished them this morning with help from Goddard."
"Ok but we have school, we can't be too long." Jimmy nodded and Cindy walked in followed by Jimmy.
They fell down a hole landing on a mattress, Cindy looked around seeing the space was bigger and she saw a monitor a couch and even a bed in the corner. Jimmy landed next to her "I added a place to watch tv and movies a bed just in case I work late."
She was surprised and on the work bench, she saw a picture of them, where once a picture of Betty stood. She threw her arms around his head and kissed him. His hands went to her back and traveled lower.
Her watch beeped and she saw the time. "Jimmy we got to go or we'll be late."
Jimmy smiled and took Cindy to the garage and he opened the door to reveal his car. A black Chevrolet Corvette he pulled out the keys and pressed a button on a keychain and the car unlocked and the door opened. "Milady care to join me?"
Cindy laughed and got into his car, Jimmy climbed in and they went to high school. As they walked in they walked hand and hand. The teachers were happy to see Jimmy return they all greeted them kindly.
They walked to his locker and he grabbed his AP Chem book. Cindy stood against the lockers and she saw Libby and Sheen. Sheen looked a lot better since Beautiful Gorgeous was arrested. Libby smiled seeing Cindy "Hey girl, you and Jimmy got here early."
"Yeah, Jimmy gave me a ride in his car." Libby's eyes grew wide "Jimmy got a car?"
Cindy nodded soon the doors opened and Eustace walked in with his butler close behind.
He walked up to Cindy "Cynthia I've carefully thought about our last couple of encounters and decided to forgive you. Your brutish behavior is a clear sign of Neutrons boorish behavior and upbringing."
Cindy glared 'Why isn't Jimmy saying anything.' She looked away from Eustace "Buzz off Strych I'm not interested. Eustace frowned no was an answer he surely was not accustomed to. "Clearly Neutron has brainwashed you into not seeing anyone clearly better than himself, he's lucky he's still in the hospital or I would have to correct him I'll ask you again."
Jimmy closed his locker "Ask her what Strych?"
He said as he turned around putting an arm around his girlfriend. Eustace jumped "Neutron your out of the hospital?" Blix took a step back seeing Eustace had put his foot firmly in his mouth and was about to pay the price. He thought it was time for his lunch break and left.
Jimmy smiled "So what were you saying about my behavior and my upbringing." Eustace took a step back afraid of what the boy genius had up his sleeve.
"I'll have you know Eustace old bean I never brainwashed Cindy. Now I'm going to do the school a favor and put the garbage where it belongs."
Eustace looked confused and Sheen handed Jimmy a garbage can. Eustace soon found himself back in the garbage. Libby and Sheen took photos and Cindy smiled the bell rung "Well time for AP Chem class, see you guys" Jimmy said taking Cindy's hand.
Sheen grabbed his bag and they headed off to class "Man we should go to the Candy Bar after school."
"No Libby and I need to get Jimmy new clothes," Cindy said angrily
"Yeah Sheen and you need new ones too, You need something other then Ultralord."
"Ahhh man no way, Jimmy help me out here."
"Sheen your on your own on this one," Jimmy said seeing the look Cindy was giving him,
Sheen shook his head "This is going to be one crazy year."
Eustace walked around and hit a wall falling down to the floor "Hello, Cynthia? , Blix?, ANYONE!, help."
