Chapter 6~Surprise

Three weeks had past, and those three weeks I had been planting little hints to Miranda and Mark that the other wanted to go to Homecoming with them. Homecoming was the next Saturday, and still neither Mark or Gordo had asked anyone to the dance. Also, neither Miranda or I had gotten a dress. Kate, of course, was going with Ethan, and had already gotten a dress, a little black number that half the cheerleading squad had worn last year, although Kate didn't know this as the cheerleaders had leant it to her because she was the newest cheerleader on the squad. Kate was drunk at last Homecoming so she doesn't remember what anyone was wearing. The new girl, Kayla, was going with the quarterback of the football team, Tom McNally, which had made her the new most wanted girl in school.

Miranda, Gordo, and I were walking down the hall when Mark stopped me. "Lizzie, uh, can I talk to you?" I shrugged, and he pulled me in a corner where, surprisingly, nobody was making out.

"So, um, what do you wanna talk about?" I asked, nervously eyeing Gordo and Miranda who were waiting nearby.

"Well I was wondering if you wanted to, um, go to Homecoming with me? I mean, I know this is kinda strange, but I think you are a really cool girl, and I wanna get to know you, you know, as more than a friend." He said, looking down at his shoes. Wait a minute, wasn't he supposed to be asking Miranda this? Not me! No, no, no! I looked with horror out of the corner of my eye to see Gordo lean down and kiss Miranda softly on the cheek, and as she blushed, he grabbed her hand. This was not supposed to be happening! Gordo was supposed to be asking me out, and Mark was supposed to be asking Miranda out!

"Um... um... ok..." I said, looking down at my feet too.

"Really?" He said, looking up at me, excited, "That's great!" With that, he leaned down and kissed me softly on the mouth. I looked up at him, shocked, which I guess he took as happiness, because he wrapped his arm around my waist, and steered me towards Miranda and Gordo, saying, "I'm so glad I finally have a girlfriend here. And I'm especially glad that you are my girlfriend." Instead of having these words make me feel happy, it made me feel even worse. I can't be his girlfriend if my heart belongs to Gordo! But of course obviously Gordo likes Miranda a lot more than me. I faked a smile and tried to be happy as Gordo and Miranda, as my new boyfriend smiled at me and pulled me closer to him.
