"The Lone Musketeer"
Chapter 1
I sighed. I sighed a lot these days. I sighed just thinking of him. Of Jimmy.
Cindy and Jimmy had been going out for months now, and both of them were 14. I was only 13, but I didn't care. That didn't stop me from doing what I felt like doing.
Well, in case you didn't know, I'm Libby. Libby Folfax.
Cindy is my best girl friend, and Jimmy is my best guy friend.
I used to go out with Sheen, but he told Carl one of my secrets, and I knew I couldn't trust him. We broke up, and he avoids me and then thinks I'm the one avoiding him. He's such a dope. But I get along just fine. I just ignore him, I guess.
I actually fell in love with Jimmy after Cindy started going out with him. I didn't know why, but I guess he just seemed to be the best guy to be going out with. I'm waiting for them to break up eventually, so that maybe, somehow maybe, Jimmy would come to me for comfort and we would start going out. Or for him to dump Cindy so that he could go out with me.
Either one, I didn't really care. All I want is Jimmy. Unscathed, and unharmed.
Butmore about me.
I like music. A lot. I actually have a poster that says, 'Music equals Life' in my room. I treasure it, sort of. But then, I have other posters I treasure. I treasure my Fall Out Boy poster. I treasure my Panic! At The Disco poster. I treasure my Weezer poster. But most of all, I treasure a picture of Jimmy.
I keep it in my dresser. Where my socks were. I sighed yet again.
"Well, I better get on with life."
I slid into my jeans and put my Panic! At The Disco T-Shirt on. I put on small music note earrings and picked up my backpack.
"Ma! I'm walking to school today!"
Mrs. Folfax stuck her head through doorway of her own bedroom.
"Okay! But make sure to get home by 5 at the latest!"
I sighed once again.
"What if I want to go somewhere with friends?"
I heard my mom sigh in anger.
"Then call me. What else?"
I shook my head.
"Bye, Ma!"
School. Something I dreaded more than going on a double date with Jimmy and Cindy.
"Hey Libs. What's up?"
It was Jimmy and Cindy, walking hand in hand.
I looked up from the book I was reading. I had become a more avid reader to try to distract myself from Jimmy.
"Nothing...Nothing but me beating you on the reading assignment!"
Since Jimmy and I were in the same English class, we competed against each other in reading assignments, seeing who could finish the book first.
We had been assigned the book 'The House Of Dies Drear' this month.
"What page did you get to?"
I looked at the page I had marked.
"Page 105."
He shrugged.
"Well, you're only a couple pages ahead. I could beat you if I tried."
I scowled. I was very competitive. I shrugged too.
"Ready for another boring day of school?"
I shrugged and replied, "Depends.."
"Depends on what?"
'Whether you and Cindy break up today.'
"Nothing."
A/N: How'd you guys like this? I don't know if you guys support the idea of Libby being the one to have a secret crush on Jimmy..But...I don't know. I felt like using this idea. I have TONS of ideas floating in my head, you know!
Anywho...
