Chapter 5 - Just Shoot Me!
A few weeks had passed, and everything had been going well for the three. Lizzie was still up to her major crush on Ethan, Miranda was getting along relatively well with Kate compared to before, and Gordo, well... let us just say that he has taken a vacation from all that tiring thinking.
Today, so many people, mostly from the Science Club, were passing around a lot of fliers all around the school.
"O look Gordo, the school's Science Club is holding a new contest that will surely catch your attention!" Lizzie had all of a sudden excitedly said after receiving one of the distributed material.
"Yeah right, all I need is another science contest that I would be competing with no other than Larry Tudgeman. Why don't they ever decide to stop holding these kind of activities, knowing that it will always be between the two of us?" Gordo had said without even pausing. "Well at least I know that Ethan Craft would NEVER even think of participating in this contest."
"But you haven't even heard half of the details! Why don't you tell him, Miranda?" Gordo was suddenly surprised. Now he was getting interested.
"Well, it's a science competition alright, but this is a Scientific Documentary Competition! There are no quiz masters, no important constants to memorize, no unhelpful contest adviser, and maybe, even no Larry Tudgeman. I mean, he may be such a know-it-all when it comes to science, but let's face it, he is no Spielberg."
"Yeah Gordo, this is no ordinary contest. Look, the winner's presentation gets to be presented at the school auditorium as a part for the Science Fair activities!"
"Look guys, I just don't feel like joining contests this year. I don't know..."
'Ugh. Just when things are looking out so great for Gordo, here he lets the opportunity pass him by! Doesn't he realize that this may turn out to be his big break?' Lizzie had began to wonder. 'He is getting all "weird" on us again.'
"Gordo, Gordo, Gordo. I can't believe it! Why don't you want to? Are you afraid of the criticism that will come your way? If you're afraid of Kate, I will handle her! Or is it that you're afraid that Larry Tudgeman may ACTUALLY beat you? Come on!"
"Miranda, you're just saying that to make me feel better."
"Gordo, we're you're friends. We just want to say what we think would be good for you and your interests. So, what do you say? Come on Gordo!"
'Wow. I never thought that deciding something between doing what you don't want to do and what your friends are encouraging you to do would be this hard. Then again, who am I kidding? Why do I always make it so difficult for myself? I know!'
"Umm. okay guys, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Gordo, we're friends! Miranda and I would be more than happy to help you."
"Great! Then you would take part in my feature presentation by being in it." 'Amazing! Not only do I get to show off my talent to the entire school, but I also get the opportunity to feature two of my best friends. It's about time that everyone got to know about us.' Gordo grew a smile on his face. He had a plan.
"Sure. Now I know that that would be the best picture ever... imagine... a film produced by Gordo, directed by Gordo, presented by Gordo, and starring Lizzie and Miranda! This is gonna be so cool!" Miranda had suddenly grown enthusiastic.
"Okay, now that we're all in it together, I want all of you to come by my house tonight. I want both of you to have dinner and sleep at our house tonight. I'm sure that won't be a problem?"
"Sure." "It's as good as done."
"Cool. I just want to go over some of the details before we begin. I already have an interesting idea on how to shoot my scientific masterpiece!"
The school bell had just rung and it was time to go home. They all bid goodbye as they each went their own way, but before that...
"Lizzie! Miranda! I'll call you at around five this afternoon! Don't forget!"
"We won't," Lizzie and Miranda yelled back at the same time.
'Now this would truly be interesting... Oops! I forgot to get my video camera back at my locker! Of all the things...' Gordo rushed back inside without a minute to spare.
When Gordo had retrieved his prized possession, the sky did not look too good at all. He decided to rush home before both he and his cam got wet. And Gordo can't afford to get his cam wet now, can he?
"Mom, dad, I'm home..." There was silence. 'Look's like they went out. Hey, what's this?'
"David,
Your father and I decided to have this night to ourselves. I do hope that you do not find this surprising. If you need anything, just call me at my cellular phone. There's some casserole in the microwave, some soft drinks in the fridge, and the number of this great pizza parlor in town, in case the casserole does not work out for you. If your friends want to spend the night, you may let them use our bedroom. Can't let the girls sleep on the couch now, can we?
Anyway, we will be away for tonight, so don't even think about using your father's laptop or getting carried away with my personal belongings.
Love you, Mom"
Gordo was alone. Finally, he got the house all to himself! Usually his parents would hire a babysitter to watch over him, but he guessed they knew better now. Now Gordo was all excited, but then he remembered, he was inviting her best friends to spend the night there at his house!
'What to do?! What to do?! Tell them that I can't let them in here today? That won't go too well; Lizzie and Miranda are so worked up to refuse. Call them off for tomorrow? Not good either; tomorrow's family night! Then again, why worry? I'm sure that things would work out just fine today.'
Gordo was not quite sure what to do. He nervously walked to the phone, and even almost dropped it when he was about to dial Miranda's number. Oh what the heck! Before he had gotten another nerve attack he had called up Miranda.
"Uh, hello Miranda!"
"Hi Gordo!" "Hello Gordo!"
"Wait, Lizzie, is that you on the other line?"
"Who else? Gordo, it's not like we haven't been doing this long before."
"Oh, yeah, right. Anyway, I decided to call you guys about something."
"Well?"
"I don't know how to say this, but... here goes... my folks just left for the night... the house has been left to me..."
"Oh, is that all? I thought you wanted to cancel our sleepover or something... Silly me!"
"Well, I'll be pretty much be alone for the night, but I'm not much sure about dinner. Is my mom's casserole alright with you guys?"
"It's not that bad, Gordo. Your mom's a pretty good cook if you ask me."
"Well Miranda, if you got the chance to live with her and taste all of her dishes, perhaps you would change your mind about that. Anyway, could you bring some food and chips on your way over? Don't worry about the drinks; I got that covered."
"No problem."
"Oh, alright then, I guess it's all good to go."
"Okay, we'll see you later Gordo." "Yeah Gordo, bye!"
"Bye guys!" Gordo hang up. Had he known...
"Lizzie, I can't believe we get to sleep over at Gordo's house! It's actually my first time!"
"Well, knowing Gordo, it would be more of a boyish environment, so just don't be surprised. I have had sleepovers at his house since we were in kindergarten. Then again, I'm not so sure about it now..."
"Well, whatever the case may be, I cannot afford to look dorky tonight. I gotta choose my clothes for tonight. Got to go!"
"Okay! I guess I'll be doing that as well, but just don't get too carried away, after all, we're just going to sleep. Bye!" "Bye!"
A/N: How's it going to be sleeping over at Gordo's? Wonder what would happen? Stick to the story to find out!
This may be my longest chapter yet, and I hope to make the rest of my chapters longer too. Is love going to blossom yet? Soon enough! Just hold on! Ooh how I love the suspense! Review please!
