Don't Say A Word
Part Five: Awkward moments
Disclaimer: Same as always.
Notes: PG-13 rating. Last chapter. There is one instance of a very dirty word in this chapter, you have been warned!
Miranda looked at her friend who was sitting sadly on the school bench. A single street light on the school sidewalk gleamed over the bench, highlighting Gordo's sorrow. She then saw Parker emerge from the school doors and start to walk towards Gordo.
"Hey, Parker," Miranda greeted her with a fake smile.
"Oh hey," she returned the same cheesy smile.
"What you doing," she asked in a cheery, curious tone.
"Over to apologize to Gordo, I feel really bad," she said sympathetically.
"Oh, wow, it's like déjà vu allover again. You seem to have to apologize to people a lot," she said with the same cheesy tone.
Parker's face grew nervous, Miranda kept her eyes locked on Parker, making sure that Parker made no sudden movements.
"Listen Parker, just because you aren't a happy person and any guy would be crazy to go out with you. Doesn't mean you have to ruin other people's relationships," Miranda said grimly.
"Miranda, we're all mature. Let's handle this in a calm, rational manner."
"I am not calm and I am not rational. There is one thing I am though, do you want to know what that is," she asked angrily.
"What's that," Parker asked as her eyes darted away from Miranda's.
"I'm your worst nightmare. No one messes with my friends without getting their ass kicked into the ground."
The hostility between the two grew by the second. Miranda looked like she was about to kill Parker while Parker looked like a scared little kid who had done something wrong. A minute later, Parker froze completely and Miranda just smiled.
"Listen, I'm going to put this as nice as I can. Either you fuck off and get the hell out of my face or I am going to rearrange your face, understand," Miranda sneered.
"Whatever," Parker rolled her eyes.
"Listen, I am about this close to rearranging your face. For once, I am on Kate's side. If two guys were fighting over me, I'd break it off with both of them. But, Gordo trusted you and you broke his trust. You are such a bitch and you are so fake like that nose of yours," She smiled.
"Can I go now," she asked sarcastically.
"As long as I don't have to look at your face anymore, its fine by me," she chuckled. Parker turned around and walked away.
"So, you didn't beat her face in," Miranda turned around to see Gordo standing behind her.
"Hi," she said awkwardly.
"Miranda," he sighed. "I'm sorry for not telling you. It was just so complicated."
He was cut off by Miranda, "Listen, I know I have been acting excessively weird lately and I don't know it's just, I'm in over my head. I'm sorry."
"What are you talking about," he asked perplexed.
"N-nothing," she sighed. "Why Kate though? Were you that desperate?"
"No, Kate's a great person when she's away from her pompom bearing lackeys," he chuckled.
"Not to me anyway," Miranda snapped.
"I know she hasn't been Miss Mary Sunshine to you guys since she, um, matured, I don't know, it's a weird situation."
"Yeah, I know what you mean," she sighed as she flipped her hair behind her shoulder.
"Miranda, I'm confused, what are you talking about," he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing," she sighed.
"Okay," he said in disbelief. "I don't know what I'm going to do about Kate."
"You'll bounce back from it, you always do," she smiled.
"You're right, thanks."
The two friends embraced in a hug as they walked on the sidewalk.
"Why did Parker do that," Miranda asked.
"Ethan," he said immediately.
The two friends laughed. There was some awkward tension between the two, but Gordo couldn't put his finger on what it could possibly be.
Soon they were joined by Lizzie who came running up to them telling them that Larry accidentally hit Parker in the nose and her nose was all red and swollen and she looked like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.
"So, do you want to try to tie up the loose ends with Kate," Lizzie asked.
"It would be nice to, I actually loved her," Gordo said sadly.
"No way! Did you guys kiss or, oh my god! EW! Bad picture," Miranda squealed.
"You are so immature," Gordo groaned.
"Whatever," Miranda chuckled as she playfully slapped him.
"So, you love Kate, you are crazy," Lizzie looked at Gordo as she rolled her eyes.
"I guess I am crazy and I love every single minute of it."
*THE END*
[A/N: YAY! It's finished, blame writer's block and pneumonia. You can pretty much make up your own ending. This kind of sucked a little bit so, oh well. Please review with your thoughts, thank you.]
