An Almost perfect fairy-tale
Chapter 2
(Realizations)
*Beep Beep Beep* the Alarm clock in Miranda's room went off at 6:02 Monday morning. Lizzie rolled over on the pallet the was laid out on the floor for her on Miranda's floor.
"I hate school" Miranda whined pulling the covers over her head, Lizzie closed her eyes and as soon as she did Mrs. Sanchez pounded on the door.
"Get up you two!" She yelled and walked away, Lizzie laughed. 'Good ol' Mrs. Sanchez, she knows us to well' Lizzie thought. She sat up and yawned before standing up and turning the over head light on.
"Ah! Devil light!" Miranda cried pulling the quilt tighter around her body.
"Get up Miranda!" Lizzie jumped on her bed. "We've got to go to school!" She exclaimed in a happy sarcastic tone.
"3 more months, that's all. 3 more months" Miranda chanted. 15 minutes went by before Lizzie could finally get Miranda up and another 45 minutes later they were both up, dressed and out the door. Lizzie drove the two to school in her silver Lexus SUV that she got when she turned 16. School was the same. The hall's buzzed with everyone gossiping about their weekend and who did what, but as usual Miranda and Lizzie stood by their lockers talking. On top of Lizzie's pre-calculus book was a piece of note book paper. She picked it up and written on top said "I 'heart' Lizzie" Obviously in a messy Gordo Handwriting, at the bottom it was signed and dated… Friday's date. He had obviously written this before he knew; Lizzie could feel her heart sink but didn't have time to ponder over it before the first period bell rang. Lizzie grabbed the note and put it into her messenger bag and set off for First Period European History. The day dragged on slowly for Lizzie and Miranda until lunch time where they finally got to see each other, and Gordo.
"Hey Gordo" Lizzie smiled as he sat down with the two.
"Hi" He replied, taking his peanut butter and jelly sandwich out of his brown paper bag lunch.
"What's up?" Miranda asked him, dipping a spoon into her vanilla pudding.
"Nothing" He snapped his answer once again.
"Are you ok?" Lizzie asked, Gordo glared at her.
"Ah right… bad question… um… can you stop thinking about it?" She asked him.
"I slept thirty minutes last night…does that answer your question" He replied quickly to her, Lizzie frowned.
"I'm sorry Gordo" Lizzie said ashamed looking down at the table. Seeing Lizzie this sad killing Gordo, and finally he realized what he had been doing wrong all weekend. Ignoring the fact that she was alive.
"Lizzie it's not your entire fault" He said to her caringly. "You didn't make this baby by yourself ok? It's my fault too, I'm sorry for being such an ass this weekend" He looked into her eyes; her usual happy blue eyes were glassed over with tears which obviously she refused to spill. "I'm sorry" He tried again.
"It's alright Gordo" She said and made him smile. Gordo placed his hand on top of hers and she took it and squeezed it tight. Though Gordo was sincere he was still scared, very scared. Scared of his Parents reaction, of Lizzie's parents and their reaction to her and would he be able to see her ever again? Or the most important thing, what would happen to their baby? He knew he couldn't keep it, though he did not have a doubt in his mind whether him and Lizzie would end up together, he knew they would. But he also knew that they did not have the essentials to take care of a child at their ages.
"I'm going to tell my parents when they get back" Lizzie said.
"Do you want me to be with you when you do? He asked, she nodded.
"When are they coming back?" He asked.
"Thursday"
"Good 3 days to live" Gordo said. All three of them gave a hearty laugh and finished their lunch, not prolonging the baby subject anymore.
