Chapter 4:

The next morning I woke up to Gordon sitting by my bed, smiling.

"Why the hell are you so happy?" I asked with my eyes barely open.

"So how was your night with Eyeball?" He said, trying to stop smiling.

"What? Oh that. It was fine, nothing happened."

"I know." He said accidentally.

"What?!?"

"Uh, nothing."

"No. You said you knew, how could you possibly know?"

"Because I asked Chris to come with me, to follow you."

I sighed.

"Gordon, you didn't."

"Yeah, sorry. I was worried."

"Ugh! If you weren't my cousin, I'd kill you. You're such a fag monkey."

"I try."

"You succeed."

"Thank you. Come down for breakfast."

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute."

Gordon smiled, and then left.

After breakfast, Gordon said that he was meeting the guys. After a while of me pleading, he let my come. We walked so much; I thought my legs were going to collapse. We reached this deserted place with a tree house. Gordon and I were the first to arrive.

"This is where you hang out?" I said, unimpressed.

"Shut up."

"So what do you do?"

"Play cards, read comics, that's about it."

"You're kidding."

"Very funny."

Chris, Teddy, Vern, and some girl came up shortly after. Teddy and Chris sighed when they saw me.

"Gordo, why did you bring the 'evil one'?" Teddy paused. "Okay Jessie, this is my girlfriend, Elisa."

Elisa had pretty black hair, and soft brown eyes.

"Hi. You must be Gordie's cousin." She said.

"Good guess." I said sarcastically.

"Jess, be nice." Gordon said. I figured I'd humor them, and try to be nice for today. But I wasn't making any promises. Besides Elisa didn't look too loserish.

"So how long have you and Teddy been you and Teddy?"

"For more than two months, now."

"Isn't that an accomplishment." I muttered sarcastically so only Gordon could hear. He elbowed me in the arm.

"So what about you? Have you got a boyfriend?" Vern asked.

"Why. Ya interested?" I said sarcastically.

"No." Vern mumbled, angry that I was teasing him.
