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? Find
out next time in… The Great Adventures of Jimmy Studman Volume 3: Riley’s Revenge
