Unforgettable Summer and More
Chapter 7: The Boys Find Out
(Sheen's POV)
When Butch, Oleander, and Nick arrived at our cabin, it was even harder for me to keep the secret. I seriously felt like everybody had to know what went on between Jimmy and Cindy. But I promised Jimmy I wouldn't tell anyone. I knew I had to try to keep the secret.
The first thing I heard from the new arrivals was Nick complaining, "I didn't want to GO to camp in the first place, but NO, my parents HAD to send me here!"
"Easy, Nick! I didn't want to go, either, at first, but I soon found it rather appealing," Jimmy informed him.
"Huh?" I was plain confused.
Jimmy rolled his eyes and explained, "I like it here, Sheen."
"Oh, okay," I replied.
"So, Neutron, you actually LIKE it here?" Nick verified.
"Isn't that what I just said?" he questioned.
"He was just seeing if you'd admit it," Butch filled in.
"Just leave him alone! It's not his fault he's a teenage father!" I ordered, then realized what I just said and gulped, "Oops!"
Jimmy just gave me a look that seemed to say, "You're really pushing it, Sheen!" Then he told me, "Sheen, remind me to remove what's LEFT of your brain later!"
"Well, well, well! So, Nerd-bomb, who's the mother-to-be?" Nick wanted to know.
"Cindy!" I put in.
"I wasn't talking to you, SHINE!!" he snapped.
"It's SHEEN!!!" I protested, highly annoyed that someone had mispronounced my name yet again.
"Whatever," Nick muttered, not really listening. Then he told him, "So it Cindy, is it? Lucky girl!"
I could tell Oleander was shocked just by the look on his face when he said, "How did this happen?? I'm sure you never meant to do it intentionally, right, Jimmy?"
"You're right, Oleander. It wasn't intentional. It all started when..." Jimmy began, telling them the whole story from beginning to end. "And that's how it happened," he concluded about a minute later.
"Poor Cindy! She has all the burdens of pregnancy, all because SHEEN wanted to get ahold of that potion and tripped Jimmy on purpose to get it, causing it to spill all over him!!!!" Carl pointed out, pointing an accusing finger at me.
"Which is why I did what I did! Anyone else you'd like to blab it to, Sheen??!!" Jimmy sharply asked me, clearly mad at me.
"No, I'm good!" I informed him, then told myself aloud, "Although it wouldn't hurt to tell the camp counselors about it..."
"Oh, no, you won't, Sheen!!!" Jimmy snapped, leaping at me and clamping his hand over my mouth. Then he added through gritted teeth, "You will NOT breathe word about this to either of them!!! Understand?? That goes for you three, too!!"
"Okay, OKAY, Neutron! We get it!!!" Nick said hesitantly with his arms outstretched in front of him.
"Good," he replied, arms folded.
I hope you enjoy it!!! I'll get on Chapter 8 as soon as I can! Expect it either tomorrow or sometime this weekend!
