Chapter 2
Authors Note: I decided to start rewriting this story when I realized people were still Reading and reviewing it, so here goes. I hope it gets good responses. I'm glad a few of you like the idea, and I'm sorry a few of you don't. Amanda Straw helped me think of this idea, and I decided to run with it. Even if you don't like the idea, stay around, I guarantee you my writing will get better, and you will never know what is going to happen next. BTW, no chapters will be as graphic (and not so much bad language) as the first.

Gordo went to school the next day feeling down, and extremely tired. He was unable to sleep the entire night. When he finally did fall asleep, his alarm clock rang right after, and he was forced to wake up. Hence, he felt like crap.
When he got to school, he saw Lizzie (along with Miranda, whom he noticed never left Lizzie's side, except for yesterday) and he instantly decided to go somewhere, he just wasn't ready to face Lizzie yet. Because of the events of yesterday, he wasn't sure he would ever be ready to face her.
He ducked into Honors Earth Science, glad that he was slightly (which is definitely the wrong word to use) more intelligent than his cohorts, meaning he had a total of one class with them. Unfortunately, the class flew by (seeing as Gordo didn't need to learn about the ancient history of rocks, and the fact that he wanted it to take forever), as did the rest of his classes, and finally it was lunch.
It quickly became apparent that Miranda had no idea what happened yesterday, because she quickly approached Gordo in the lunch line, asking, "Where have you been all day? It's almost like you are avoiding us."
Not you, Gordo thought, her. He obviously couldn't say that, and so he didn't. "Oh, sorry. I just have had a lot of work to do. Can you believe I have had three tests already? And we have only had four classes!" It came out pathetic. He hoped Lizzie was a better actor than him (or Miranda, who sucked at acting).
"That sucks. Well, we have P.E. next, and there is no test in that, so come sit with us!" She apparently had bought it, and so Gordo was dragged into never ending awkwardness.

What Tawny had said was like a kick to Louis's stomach. Only one? But he had received to dozen flowers. He wasn't exactly the flower type guy, but he knew Tawny meant well. She always did. She apparently knew he had felt awkward after yesterday, otherwise she wouldn't have sent the flowers. The question was, did she know why he felt awkward?
Louis sort of laughed of the gay thoughts he was having yesterday, and he thought about Tawny all night. How sexy she had looked in the black bra and panties. She had definitely given him pleasure, up until the point where he second guessed himself, and he figured he was only thinking these thoughts because he was worried about what would happen if his parents found out. He was just starting high school, and not even Twitty had gotten this far. At least, he hadn't told Louis (and Louis assumed Twitty would tell him).
Luckily, Tawny was still talking to Louis after he just left, and that was a good sign. "So Louis," Tawny asked, "what did you do last night?" Despite that fact that she was still talking to him, she was obviously feeling awkward. Maybe it was because Twitty was around.
"Just chatted online. Pondered a few things." Tawny knew what his was pondering, but Twitty had no idea.
"What?! That doesn't sound like you at all."
"Yea, well, I didn't feel all that well."
"So, are you to going out again tonight?" Twitty asked. It was immediately followed by an extremely long paused that cut through Louis and Tawny like a katana from a samurai.

It had been ten minutes since Gordo had sat down with Lizzie and Miranda, and for ten minutes, Miranda had been the only person to talk. Gordo was not mad at himself for turning down what Lizzie wanted, he was just angry at the fact that he said he didn't think they should see each other. He knew he said it just because he felt awkward at the moment, and he didn't want things to move to fast, but why, then had he given that guy Louis a second set of flowers. He told himself it was to get Louis and his girlfriend back together, but he began wondering if he wasn't just lying to himself.
He did, however, know that he really liked Lizzie. In fact, he had once used the word love, and he hoped he could right the wrong he had caused yesterday, and maybe, just maybe, she would even take him back.
He could only hope. And that he did, for the rest of the day. He didn't pay attention to anything other than her during P.E., and during his final class, Honors Geometry, he didn't pay attention to anything. He just dozed of into a daydream that he was really enjoying.
He and Lizzie were back together, at prom during their senior year, and he was going out for a sushi dinner afterwards. He was double-dating with someone. It was Louis and his girlfriend.
Gordo instantly bolted up! Why the hell was he in my dream?

Twitty finally left the two in peace, going to play basketball, and they finally opened up about what had happened the night before. "I'm sorry I just left, Tawny. I didn't mean to hurt you or anything, and I really loved the flowers. I can't believe I acted like such a jackass, and…"
"Just shut up Louis!" Tawny interjected. "You're rambling on…"
"Oh, sorry!"
"It's cool. I understand what you were going through. I don't even know what made me do what I did. I'm not sorry that I did it, but I am sorry that we have to feel awkward around each other now." Tawny was opening up. "I love you Louis, and you know I do. That's probably the only reason I did what I did, but if I knew it was going to do this to us, I would never have done it. I hoped I would bring pleasure to you, and I am pretty sure I did, but…" She never finished her sentence. They stood there for a little bit.
"Look, Tawny, I'm sorry that I just left. I know I said that, but I can't tell you how sorry I really am! I love you too!" He kissed her lightly on the lips. "How about we go see a movie. Anything you want!"
"Sure! But…are we just forgetting that this whole thing ever happened?"
"No! Never. Why would we want to do a stupid thing like that."

Gordo got up the nerve to go see Lizzie after school. They hadn't really talked much the entire day, and he wanted to say a few things he wanted to say. He wanted to right the wrong he had done. He had to.
Miss McGuire answered the door. This was unfortunate. "Oh, Gordo! Lizzie isn't here right now. She seemed kind of down, I think she is at Miranda's house. Is anything wrong with Lizzie?"
"Huh? Oh, no. At least not that I know of," Gordo lied. He new exactly what was troubling Lizzie. "Can you have her call me when she gets home? I should be at my house all through out the night."
"Sure! Later Gordo."
When Gordo arrived at his house, he saw Lizzie at the front door, talking to his mother. So she had wanted to talk to him too. This was good. They were both willing to talk. Maybe she wanted to get back together with him. Or maybe she wanted to make their break up official. Gordo's head was spinning, and he began to think irrational thoughts. He keep running yesterday over and over in his head, and so he decide to leave, with out being noticed.
"Gordo, where the hell are you going?" Lizzie asked. "We need to talk!"
