Chapter 13:
Shortly after Chris left my room, Gordon showed up. How what fun.
"Hey." He said.
"What, what do you want?"
"I-I. I'm sorry."
"You should be."
"I'm real sorry Jessie. I didn't know that what I was saying effected you so much."
"Yeah, well it did."
"Yeah. I know." I sighed.
"I'm sorry too Gordon. I should've considered how you felt. But I still want to be with Eyeball, and in the Cobras."
"Okay. I'm not too excited about it, but you've made you're decision."
"Thanks Gordo."
"Gordo?"
"I guess you're friends kind of grew on me."
"No more Gordon?" He said excited
"No more Gordon..."
When we walked to the door of my room. We heard footsteps and voices rushing into Gordon's, excuse me, Gordie's room. When we opened my door, Gordie's door slammed shut. We laughed and went into his room.
"H-Hey guys. Everything all peachy keen?" Vern asked.
"Peachy keen?" Gordie and I said unison.
"Whatever you cats want to call it." Teddy said.
"Yeah, sure."
A hour passed and we were all in Gordie's room, laughing and having a good time. Vern suggested a lame game of 'truth or dare'. Within five minutes of the game, we were getting to know each other.
"Truth or dare, Chambers." Gordie asked.
"Dare."
"I dare you and Ali to kiss. A real kiss. None of those short ones." Gordie said. I assumed he knew that Chris liked Ali. Chris and Ali blushed, and they did as Teddy instructed. I don't think Teddy could have made it anymore uncomfortable for those two. The game kept going. Then there was something that caught my attention.
"Okay, Mr. Lachance, truth or dare?" Teddy said.
"Truth."
"You're such a pussy."
"Thank you Teddy."
"Alright, alright. Who did you kiss at the forth of July party, last year? I know you kissed someone, so out with it!" Chris, Gordie, and Elisa were suddenly quiet. Gordie glanced over to Elisa, and I noticed her pleading eyes.
"It was, uh. E- Ellie. Ellie Richards." Gordie stammered.
"Ellie Richards! You kissed Ellie?!?" Vern said surprised.
"Yeah, well. Don't mention anything to her. She wanted to keep it low." Gordie said, looking over at Elisa. The two exchanged glances and seemed very uncomfortable. Then it hit me. It was Elisa and Gordie! They kissed! Oh Teddy would be furious if he knew. No wonder Gordie's answer seemed a little false. And I'm sure he told Chris.
"Elisa, dear, you're mother called. She's on the phone for you." Aunt Dorothy came in and said. Elisa seemed a little startled by her.
"Oh, okay." She said and left the room.
"Theodore! What happened to you?" My aunt asked.
"Uh, I fell."
"You fell?"
"Down some stairs." "Stairs."
"That's right."
"Uh huh. Theodore, hun, even possessed stairs would not beat you up that bad."
"Yeah, well his stairs are pretty evil. Okay, bye mom."' Gordie said, shoving aunt Dorothy out of his room.
Awhile later, Ali had to leave, so Chris, Teddy, and Vern walked with her. I wanted to make sure everything, was really okay between Gordie and I, so I went into his room.
"Gordie I. Oh my God." I said, to see Gordie and Elisa, releasing quickly from kissing. "Uh, sorry." I said, and closed his door.
"Holy shit!" I said to myself.
I had to get that thought out of my head so I took a shower. After I had showered, I dressed in a light blue, pajama tank top, and small pajama shorts. I combed my hair and put on a Millie Simms record. My wet hair dangled at my shoulders. My favorite song, My Boy Lollipop, was about to play, and I couldn't think nor care about anything else in the world! It was my room, my music, and me. That's it. You know those songs you love, that just make you feel better? Well, this was one of those songs.
My boy lollipop You make my heart go giddy up You are as sweet as candy You're my sugar dandy
The song played, and I pretended I was Millie Simms, on stage. Closing my eyes, and imagining the scene, I sang along with Millie's high voice. I used my comb as if it were a microphone. I did stupid dance movies, and behaved like a total idiot with my closed eyes. I flipped around and opened my eyes. And what did I see? Four familiar boys, standing in my door way, with grins for ear to ear. I stood up straight, blushing. The boys laughed hysterically as I walked to turn off the record.
"Disturbin' ya?" Teddy laughed.
"Busy Jess?" Gordie said.
"A little." I said softly, with rosy cheeks. If any of the Cobras had saw that I would've die.
"Well, don't let us interrupt, please. Continue." Chris said. The boys still laughed.
"Uh, sorry, one show per audience." I said, and sat down on my bed. The guys came over, still laughing and smiling. I hated it. I felt my cheeks getting hot. Chris sat next to me on my bed, as Gordie looked at my pictures on my dresser with Teddy.
"Hey, Jared." Gordie smiled, picking up a frame.
"Yeah, that was last summer." I said.
"He looks exactly the same." Gordie handed the picture to Chris and Vern.
"Whoa! Who's this babe?" Teddy asked, picking up the picture of my mother.
"That would be my dear mother." I said.
"Uh, I didn't mean to. uh, shit!" Teddy said as I laughed.
"That's okay. I'm use to that reaction." Teddy handed the picture to Gordie.
"Ah. Good old Aunt Sylvia." He said, and again, handed the picture to Chris.
"Holy shit! Oh, sorry."
"My boy lollipop. You make my heart go giddy-up." Teddy sang, out of nowhere, and we all looked at him strangely. "What? It's catchy." We laughed a little. I could tell by the look on Chris's face that he was feeling bad about the comment Teddy and he had made about my mom. I walked over to my record player, and put on Millie Simms again.
My boy lollipop
You make my heart go giddy-up!
I walked over to Chris, and stuck out my hand as a gesture to dance. He smiled, took it, and we started to dance around. Gordie smiled, as did Teddy and Vern. In an act of mocking me, Teddy did the same with Vern, and they started to dance. Elisa walked into the room, and Teddy pulled her to dance. We all danced around my yellow room, like friggen idiots. But it was fun. We switched partners and I was with Teddy. Elisa was with Gordie, and Chris sat and watched with Vern.
Dancing there with Teddy, I couldn't help but keep my eyes on Elisa. Was I going to tell Teddy what I saw?
