The Great Adventures of Jimmy Studman: Forgotten Girl

The Great Adventures of Jimmy Studman:
Forgotten Girl
Jimmy Studman isn’t just a regular high school student, he’s a super hero! Jimmy Studman is no other than the high school super hero boyfriend! Jimmy Studman, like in his last name, is a STUD! He has brown hair and the best brown eyes ever! He has the cutest smile on the planet. His looks weren’t all he was good for. Oh no! He is a super hero, remember? Well, he has super speed, strength, he can fly and he can read minds. But he is really polite about his mind reading powers. He only uses them when needed. He also plays sports but he has to keep his powers down while playing so no one would say he was cheating. Let’s just say he is a perfect boyfriend. This story continues Jimmy’s adventures.
Jimmy and his current girlfriend who he recently met after hearing her scream during school, Andralyn also known as Andi, who in turn has super powers of her own, have been secretly dating for little over a month. The only person that knows about them dating besides them is Sydney, Andi’s best friend who also has super powers. Sydney is helping them keep it a secret from Riley who is Andi’s villainess father’s successor. We start now on a day in early October. Jimmy and Andi over at the Frinkles’ home of their friends Gus and Lola. Gus has always been Jimmy’s best friends but he doesn’t know anything about there actually being superheroes in the world. Lola has always been in love with Jimmy so naturally they’ve been forced to keep their relationship from them because Andi doesn’t know what Lola would do out of jealous. Even Syd who can see into the future can’t see that one.
The Frinkles’ don’t really like Andralyn that much. It’s probably because she always over there when Jimmy is.  Now Jimmy and Andralyn are standing in the kitchen having a hushed conversation about where they’re having their next secret date.
“We can’t go to the movies. That’s the day my dad and all his ‘buddies’ go to the movies.” Andi said referring to Riley, his dad, her dad, and Syd’s dad.
“I still think that’s weird.” Jimmy laughed quietly.
“You could come to my house.” Andi suggested.
“Are you sure we won’t get caught there?” Jimmy Studman asked unsure of the situation.
“I can tell when someone is coming can’t I? I’ll make dinner and we’ll watch a movie.” She leaned in and pecked him on the cheek then moving away from him to the other side of the kitchen. Lola was the only word in Andi’s thoughts. Sure enough seconds later Lola walked in.
“Andi, what are you doing in here? Come on, we need to study. Jimmy, you really need to leave her alone. She’s not interested.” Lola grabbed Andi dragging her out of the kitchen. Andi looked back to Jimmy thinking, Love you.
“Same to you.” Jimmy said making it sound as if he was insulting Lola.
Andralyn was sitting on Lola’s bed working on her math homework quietly until Lola who was supposed to be working on an English paper looked up and just started staring at Andralyn.
“Lola, what’s wrong?” Andi asked looking up from her book.
“Jimmy just won’t leave you alone. It makes me so mad.” Lola got up and started pacing. Lola never mentioned anything about Jimmy to her. Andi heard that Lola had a crush on him from Syd.
“Why would it make you mad? Nothing is going on. All I was doing was getting a glass of water.” Andi tried telling her to calm her down.  She was playing dumb because she doesn’t want Lola knowing that she actually talks to and about Jimmy.
“What was he doing?” Lola asked unsurely.
“He was ignoring me. After he found out I was your friend he sort of lost interested in me.” Andi lied without thought.
“Okay.” Lola said looking back to her paper. Andi was tempted to see if Lola would tell her that she liked Jimmy but she didn’t want to push the subject.
Meanwhile, Jimmy was out in the Living room with Gus playing video games.
“Dude, you’ve seem to be gone a lot lately at lunch and after practice. Are you secretly dating anyone? Like a tall brunette who is one of my sister’s friends?” Gus said. He seems to be more observant than Jimmy thought. Jimmy couldn’t have him knowing. He could accidently slip it to Lola and everything would go wrong at least according to Andi.
“Man, no. I can’t be dating her she has a boyfriend.” Jimmy said quickly in responds.
“Whatever, man. I know you’re hooking up with someone. And last I heard you were crushing on her.”
“I’m not hooking up with anyone especially her.” He looked at the clock over the fire place. “I got to go.” Jimmy got up and left the house. Jimmy didn’t walk home in fact he walked in the opposite direction.
 Five minutes later, Andi finished her homework and looked at her phone. “I have to get home for dinner. See you tomorrow.” She said putting her book into her bag.
“Say hi to Riley for me.” Lola replied with a smile.
“Of course.” Andi was uncomforted by that request. When she walked out into the hallway Gus was standing there. “Gus, hi. I was just leaving.”
“I’m sure you were. I know what you two are doing.” He said sternly.
“We were just doing homework.” Andi playing dumb again.
“Just tell Jimmy that he forgot his science book here. That is when you see him.”
“Well, I guess I can walk down the street and give it to him. If you really think it’s important but other than that I actually didn’t have any plans to see Jimmy.”
“You two think you are so good at hiding it but I see through you.”
“Okay, Gus, I’m leaving now.” She left without the science book.
Andi met up with Jimmy at their secret place. “Gus knows!” Andi said very angrily. Their secret place was not so secret it was actually a public park.
“Yeah, I know he was giving me the third degree.” Jimmy said sitting down on a picnic table.
“You know I could always make him forget.” Andi smiled jokingly.
“What are the side affect to that anyways?”
“I don’t know haven’t seen the people I’ve done it on more than once.”
“Then we shouldn’t try it on Gus. What if it messes with his ability to remember anything?”
“So there would be no difference then?”
“Come on, he remember things. And you can’t just do it because you don’t like him.” He said after he read her mind.
“Jimmy, stop that. I told you can only read it when I’m leaving or entering a room or if a give you the look.”
“You were making a face when you thought that. He does too like you! More than you think too. Why do you think he’s so worked up about this?”
“Because his best friend is spending time with his little sister’s friend. Just imagine if you were dating Lola. How upset do you think he would be at that?”
“Actually, less upset than the fact that he thinks I’m dating you. He likes you a lot.”
“Oh…could I make him forget about that?”
“You are not going to use you powers on him.” Jimmy said sternly. Andi leaned towards him and kissed him quickly.  “You have you leave already?”
“I have a date with Riley. I’ll see you Saturday?”
“Of course. You’re coming to the game?”
“Wouldn’t miss it for anything.” Andi said flying off before another word could be said. Jimmy just walked home.
Jimmy Studman got home to find that his grandpa was there sitting in the living room with his parents. Jimmy read his mother’s mind accidentally, she seems so nice.
“What’s going on?” Jimmy asked cautiously not daring to sit down.
“Why didn’t you tell us who she was?” Jimmy’s dad questioned sternly.
Jimmy decides to act like he didn’t know what they were talking about. “Yes I did. Her name is Andi.”
“You know that’s not what we mean.”Jimmy’s mom said getting up from the couch to go get something from the kitchen. She came back with a piece of paper.
“Did you know that your girlfriend is a part of The Sinister Six?” She seemed to be holding a sheet printed off a secret website open only to superheroes that offers a list of villains and history of crimes committed.
“Yeah, I knew that.” His parents and grandpa got a disappointed look on their face.
“What are you doing with a girl like that?” His grandpa asked disgusted.
“What do you mean? She hates working with her dad. She’s not bad at all.” Jimmy inquired harshly. He was almost upset enough to storm out but he stopped when his mom looked ashamedly down. I knew that must have been right. “Of course it was right, mom. She’s the nicest person I’ve ever met.”
“You need to stop seeing her. Her father is a threat to our family.” His grandfather said harshly. “Don’t make me make the decision for you.” His grandpa could force anyone to do anything that he wanted, he usually only used his powers for good but Jimmy Studman believes if his grandpa forces him to do this one thing he’ll never be able to trust him again. EVER! 
“If you do that, I’ll leave.” Jimmy replied simply before walking out of the room. All Jimmy wants to do was go see Andi. He wanted to be with Andi. He loves Andi. He can’t break up with her. He loves her way too much to ever break it off with her. He ended up at the Frinkles’. He thought hanging out with Gus is better than being alone right now. He knew he couldn’t talk to Gus about his Andi problem. Gus wouldn’t understand why his family wants him to break it off with Andi. Besides Gus would be pleased if he breaks up with Andi.
“Hey, something’s up.” Gus said as soon as Jimmy walked in.
“Nothing’s up.” Jimmy lied horribly.
“Trouble in Andi Paradise?” He asked as he thought ‘I wish I was in that paradise.’ Jimmy wish he didn’t hear that but Gus’s thoughts of Andi are really loud thoughts.
“Dude, I can’t be dating Andi. Like I said she has a boyfriend.” ‘Which is my problem too.’ Gus thought. Jimmy tried hard to ignore that. He didn’t know how much he could take. His family wants him to break up with her and his best friend wants to date her. How is Jimmy supposed to deal with all of this? He can’t tell Gus that he’s going out with Andi because Gus might tell Lola and Lola is the worst when it comes to jealousy when it comes to the Frinkles. Gus won’t act on his jealousy but Lola is an unknown variable who just might explode everything.
“Sure you’re not. Come on, man. It’s me, Gus, your best friend. I know everything there is to know about you. I also know since you’ve started talking about Andi over a month ago and completely stopped about two day after meeting her. Also you’ve haven’t been flirting with the usual suspects. So obviously something’s going on. If I notice how long do you think her boyfriend would take before he notices this too? My advice to you is break loose now before you get in some kind of trouble with that guy. That dude is freakin’ scary.”
“I can handle him.” Jimmy said confidently. Honestly he didn’t know if he could actually take on Riley. Andi never talks about his superpowers. So he has no idea what he would be up against.
“Aha! I got you! I can’t believe you were keeping that from me! It’s not like I’m going to be jealous or anything.” Yeah, right. Gus is totally jealous but he’ll never admit this to Jimmy.
“Fine, you got me. I’m dating Andi but you cannot tell anyone. Not even Lola.”
“Oh, Lola would be really upset if she found out. I know for a fact she was trying to keep Andi away from you. She never even told Andi about you because she thought something like this would’ve happened. Looks like it happened.” Little did Jimmy and Gus know was that Lola was listening in on this conversation and already figuring a good time to break it to Riley. Her plan went like this in her head: tell Riley, Riley beats up Jimmy, she take cares of Jimmy, he falls madly in love with her, and they get married. Her plans involving Jimmy always include marriage.
Then Jimmy had a thought. He could use Riley as the excuse why his family wants him to break up with Andi and actually have the conversation with Gus all he has to do is replace everything about the Sinister Six with Riley. Easy. “Dude, my family actually found out about Andi and Riley and they want me to break up with her now.”
“Maybe you should. She obviously doesn’t care about you enough to break up with Riley.”
“It’s way more complicated than just that. It has to do with her dad. He would be furious if he knew.” Lola still listening just added another part to her plan. Tell Andi’s dad. That would be sure to get rid of Andi. Okay, so you don’t get the wrong idea about Lola. She is actually a really great friend but under these circumstances, anything having to do with Jimmy Studman, she goes a bit crazy and can’t help herself.
“You must really love her. If it was me I would have totally gotten out of there by now if it was her dad with the problem.” Gus said right when his mom walked in the house loudly asking, “Lola, what are you doing?” Then Jimmy read her mind realizing she was listening but not seeing her plan to get him. ‘I have to warn Andi’ Jimmy thought before walking out of the house without another word.
At home Jimmy avoided his parents going straight to his room and picking up the phone to call Andi but he got no answer. He left several messages for her hoping those would at least get to her.
“Jimmy! Get out here now!” Jimmy’s dad yells from the living room. Jimmy obeyed reluctantly.
“Look at this! I think I know who we can blame for this!” Jimmy’s grandpa was yelling at him. There was a news report of missing artifacts from the Museum of History. There were no witnesses even though it happened in front of everyone just a few minutes earlier. He didn’t want to believe it but there was no other explanation it was the Sinister Six and Andi was involved. So that’s what Andi means when she has dates with Riley. She doesn’t really have dates she has missions with the Sinister Six. I’m going to have to confront her when I see her, thought Jimmy. Unfortunately for Jimmy at this moment he forgot about the threat of Lola. Jimmy was upset to find out that Andi had been going on missions behind his back. She never mentions the Sinister Six if she can help it. Jimmy was just so upset he went to sleep wanting to calm down before he even thought more of talking to Andi about this.
The next morning at breakfast Jimmy just pushed around his food still too upset to eat. And it totally didn’t help that his parents were at the table talking about how he should break things off with Andi before things go too far. Their worries were what if the two had a bad break up in the future and she used all the information she has gain throughout their relationship to take him and his family down or what if the Sinister Six found out and forced the secrets of the Studmans from her.
Jimmy was thankful he had to get to school earlier today for a morning practice before today’s game after school. He was also hoping to see Andi there. He really needed to talk to her to see why she’s been hiding the fact that she’s been doing evil but the more Jimmy thought about it the more he realized what could he have done anyways to talk her out of going. She would be in major trouble with her dad if she hadn’t gone. He was thinking now that it was probably a good idea she kept him in the dark because he would’ve gone after her to stop the robbery they committed. He would’ve probably been hurt or worse killed if he tried going up against the Six minus two. So that morning after practice Jimmy found Andi and took her to a secluded part of campus and kissed her realizing than that he truly loved her and always will.
“Jimmy, what was that for?” Andi asked breathlessly looking at him brightly with her dazzlingly blue eyes. He hugged her as he replied, “I love you more than life itself.”
“I love you too but I was kind of wondering about your message you left on my phone yesterday?”
“Message?” Jimmy asked confused trying to remember why he had been trying to call her last night. “Oh, crap! I can’t believe I forgot---”
“So, Lola wasn’t just trying to get me to beat you up after all. You really are seeing my girlfriend behind my back!” Riley seems furious because he is furious. Riley in his own weird way does actually love Andi and this discovery that she didn’t love him back actually made him enraged enough to use his powers on Jimmy. Only the next thing Jimmy knew was that he was in his first class unaware of what happened after Riley showed up. Now Jimmy knew Andi did something to make him forget he just couldn’t remember what it was that he has forgotten but since he is a super he will get his memory back just like Andi said her dad did the first time she ever used her powers.
Gus leans over to Jimmy quietly asking, “So now that I and Lola know are you and Andi are going public? Or were you two not thinking walking to class together?” Andi walked me to class?, Jimmy thought confused about what Gus was talking about. She must have gotten rid of my memories after she got me to class. Why would she erase my memory of us walking to class?
“Did Andi look okay?” Jimmy asks Gus wanting to know if there was anything wrong with her. Jimmy was trying really hard to remember something he was not supposed to.
“She looked fine.” Amazing, Gus thought to himself. Jimmy was relieved to hear Gus’s thought now. He knew it didn’t have to do with Andi being hurt. So it involved what happened to Riley. Why would she use her powers on either of us anyways? The memory will come back eventually. That means Riley will remember about me and Andi. Everything will be ruin. Jimmy moved in his seat and pain in his chest appeared. He felt like he couldn’t breathe.  Is this a side effect of Andi’s powers? He raised his hand and asked for the pass to the bathroom.
Once in the bathroom Jimmy realized what was causing the pain. There was a big bruise on his chest. This was something new to Jimmy. He has never ever had a cut or a bruise. Riley must have incredible strength. Jimmy really hopes he only got one punch in. Before Jimmy’s eyes the bruise was healing slowly but it was still quicker than most. He knew by the end of the day the bruise will be a distant memory as will be the memory he will get back by that time but he believed he was piecing everything together perfectly. He slowly walked back to class but this trek came with the misfortune of running into no one other than Lola.
“Oh Jimmy, hi, did anything happen this morning?” Lola asked concernedly standing as close as she possibly could to Jimmy ever step he took back she took forward.
“Nothing that I can remember. Just Practice.” Jimmy replied mostly truthfully. He can’t remember what happen but he knows something did happen.
            “Really, no run in with Riley or anyone?” Lola asked taking the unwanted chance at touching Jimmy chest right where the bruise was almost as if she knew it was there. He flinched slightly. No she couldn’t have been there. Of course she was there she wanted to see her master plan play out. She saw every punch mostly from Riley. She even saw when Andi got in between the two and got hit in the face causing her to have a swollen eye. Right after Andi got hit Riley’s hands went limp and Andi whispered something to him and he just walked away. Andi then whispered something to Jimmy who got up and followed her. As they walked away Andi covered her eye with her hair making it nearly impossible to notice. This is what caused Gus not to notice anything strange.
            I wonder how she is? I really feel horrible about that part. Lola thought, Jimmy wanted to know what she was thinking about now, that she knew the truth about what really happened even though he can’t fully remember it himself the whole thing made sense to him. But what can he really do about something that already happened? He could make a plan keep Riley from telling anyone about him and Andi. That would be a good way to use up his time until lunch when he can see Andi and see if she’s okay and if she has any plans of her own. “Lola, I have to be getting back to class now.” He got out of there as fast as he could without using any super powers.
            He was thankful for lunch because he came up with about zero plans to keep Riley from telling Andi’s dad about their relationship. He’s hoping more than anything that she has a plan. “Andi?” Jimmy asked cautiously afraid of seeing her eye badly hurt but the moment that Andi looked at him all he saw was her perfect undamaged face. His hand quickly went up to her face.
            “How did you know about that? You can’t have your memory back already.”
            “Lola.” Jimmy replied shocked about her face. “I don’t understand what happened?”
            “I happened.” Sydney said walking over closer to them. “I could help with your injuries too.” Sydney has the power to health which helps the Sinister Six if they land in sticky situation where someone gets hurt.
            “Wow that would be awesome. My chest is killing me.”
            “That’s because you have a broken bone.” Sydney placed her hand on Jimmy chest healing the broken bone.
            “Wait, what do you mean Lola told you about my black eye?” Andi asked confused she obviously didn’t know that Lola was there. 
            “Well, I guess after she told Riley about us she wanted to see what would happen to me.”
            “She is going to get suspicious when she sees that my face has healed.” Andi said worried about what would happen when Lola saw her.
            “I think you should use your powers to make her forget.” Sydney told Andi a little afraid of the idea because she also didn’t know what it would do to how the person retains memories.
            “I can’t. It wouldn’t be right she’s our friend. We should’ve been able to trust her with this in the first place.” No one could tell if Andi meant her and Jimmy or all of their powers. Either way Jimmy didn’t find the choices all that appealing.
            “Andi, you honestly can’t be saying that. Look what she did because she found out. I think it would’ve been harder for us if we told her before.”
            “Maybe, it would have but now we’ll never know and I will have to keep using my powers on Riley.” Jimmy wrapped his arms around Andi trying to comfort her not knowing what else to do. He knew he had to do something or else Andi and him were finished. That couldn’t happen. He would not let another day go by without her now that he knew what life was like with her.
            “How long until we fully get our memories back?” Jimmy asked really wanting to know what he would need to worry about Riley again. He knew for sure that Riley had some kind of super strength but he didn’t want to discovery any of his other powers especially if it puts Andi in danger again. Jimmy was glad for Sydney in the moment because when he was unable to protect Andi, Sydney was there to heal her.
            “It takes a few hours. I will have to hang around Riley after school for a while to prevent it from happening in front of my dad.”
            “I wish I could be with you.” Andi smiled at Jimmy knowing how much he wanted to protect her. As for right now, she had to be the protector. She was the only one with the power to do so. Jimmy Studman felt powerless at that moment. How could this get any better from here? How could Jimmy and Andi be together without the fear of Riley remembering and Andi’s dad finding out about Jimmy?
