Once again, thanks to all my reviewers! Your reviews are greatly
appreciated. So at the end of this chapter, please review again!
Lizzie had made up her mind. She was going to go talk to Mindy about what was between her and Gordo. Lizzie waited for the perfect time, and the time had come. The whole cabin except for herself and Mindy had left for lunch. Right now, Mindy was putting her blond hair in a ponytail, and Lizzie decided she had to talk to her.
'Here goes nothing…'
"Mindy? Can I talk to you for a second?"
Mindy looked up at Lizzie; the ponytail falling out in the process. "Sure. What's up, Lizzie?"
"Why don't you finish your hair first? Then we can talk." 'NO! Don't chicken out McGuire!'
"Um, okay. I'll be done really soon."
After another minute, Mindy was all done. "So, Lizzie, what did you want to talk about?"
"Well, uh, we might be late for lunch, so why don't we start walking to the mess hall?"
Mindy looked perplexed. "Alright, I guess."
Lizzie was beginning to get scared. She knew she had to do this, but she was terrified of what the answer might be. What if Mindy did like Gordo? The summer could be ruined. What if they were secretly going out? Lizzie felt herself panicking.
"Lizzie, is this about Gordo?"
Lizzie turned. "N-no, whatever gave you that idea, Mindy?"
"Well, I've noticed the way you look at him sometimes. I remember you were just watching him and not paying attention to yourself yesterday. It just seemed like you liked him or something."
"Do you like him?" Lizzie quickly turned the conversation around.
"Is that what this is about? You think Gordo and I like each other?" Mindy began laughing.
"It's not funny! Tell me the truth!"
"Oh, I get it! You're jealous! No, Lizzie, Gordo and I don't like each other. We're just friends. Besides, I have a boyfriend of my own waiting for me at home."
"Oh, okay," Lizzie said, feeling very relieved.
"So you like Gordo?"
"No!"
"You do. You're blushing. Don't deny liking someone Lizzie, it makes it even more obvious that you like them. You know, Gordo would be very interested in hearing that one."
"You can't tell him!"
"Oh, you want to tell him yourself. Okay."
"I'm not going to tell him at all!"
"What? You have to tell him, Lizzie. I really think not telling him is a mistake."
"I can't tell him Mindy. If I did, our friendship might end for good. I don't want my friendship to end with Gordo. I've known him all my life."
"Lizzie, just tell him. You guys can stay friends, or maybe you'll become more than that."
"You sound like Miranda now."
"Is she your best friend?"
"Yeah. She was supposed to come to camp, but she had to go to Mexico for her cousin."
"Let me guess, she hates her cousin."
"More than anything! Miranda really wanted to come to camp, and then Conchita insisted Miranda be at her party. Miranda knows Conchita did that just to be mean."
"This Kate girl, is she Ethan's girlfriend or something?"
"No. She acts like it, and Ethan just goes along with it. Ethan isn't very smart, but he's very popular."
"I can see why," Mindy laughed. "He's hot! If he had brains, I might even consider breaking up with my boyfriend at home and trying to get Ethan to go out with me. No, Ethan isn't worth it. He's going to be a cashier at Jewel someday, and Kate is probably going to be his wife. They'll have about ten kids, and Kate will have had her first one at sixteen or something. People like them, it's always easy to see where they're going to end up."
"Yeah," Lizzie agreed.
"Come on," Mindy said, "that's the lunch bell! We better hurry or else there won't be any food left for us to eat!"
************************************************************************
Dear Miranda,
Eww, Conchita has a hot boyfriend? What is it with this world? Bite her for me sometime. Hehehe.
Well, Mindy says I should tell Gordo I like him too. I can't Miranda! We might never be friends again if I was to tell him! No, best keep it a secret; our friendship will stay safe. Kate's been hogging Ethan; he's always her partner for everything! Swim buddies, they eat next to each other, at campfire they sit next to each other and share a marshmallow stick, it's disgusting!
How much longer till the awful party for Conchita? Maybe after that she'll be less of a pain. Take lots of pictures for me! I want to hear more about Mexico in your next letter!
Your BFF,
Lizzie
Lizzie folded up the letter. It was almost time for swimming. She was sitting in her bunk, wearing her blue one-piece swimsuit. Today was the first day of the swimming tests. Each cabin would race the other cabins to see who was fastest.
"Okay, girls! Time to head out!" Annie called.
Everyone ran to the door, trying to be the first one out. Lizzie threw her letter down, and thought it landed on the bunk. She was so excited she didn't care where it landed. Lizzie was in such a hurry she didn't see someone in a pink bikini pick it up…
REVIEW! If I get five reviews, I'll post a new chapter!
