Hacky Sack

The clouds were out and the sky was sort of grey on a Tuesday afternoon. Miranda and Gordo sat on the Gordon's couch feeling bored out of their minds. Lizzie was currently working her job as the new busboy at the Digital Bean, and they were left alone with nothing to do.

Gordo looked at Miranda from the other end of the couch. "So what now?" he asked her.

She shrugged. "How about..." Miranda looked around the living room and spotted one of Gordo's hacky sacks lying on the floor.

"Hacky sack," she suggested.

"Hacky sack?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah, teach me. Please?" Miranda made sad puppy dog eyes.

Gordo sighed. "Fine." He got up from the couch and picked up the red hacky sack. He then motioned for Miranda to come over. She stood in front of him and watched him demonstrate.

"Now you try," Gordo said, handing her the sack.

Miranda took it, unsure how to start. She looked at Gordo.

"Like this." He grabbed it from her and tossed it lightly in the air and brought his foot up to hit the sack up and down. Miranda had seen him do it many times before, but she never could figure out how he did it.

She took the hacky sack to try again and after only a few minutes she got the hang of it. Miranda and Gordo tossed the sack back and forth, passing it to each other with their feet.

They spent the next couple hours messing around with the hacky sack, making up their own games. Before they knew it, Lizzie had finished working. Now they had something new to do for the next couple days while Lizzie worked.
