A/N: My deepest thanks go out to my two new reviewers, PersonY2K and LenniluvsBrian. I thank you very much about reviewing my work as I haven't been getting too much lately. Review please!
By the way, so as not to get you confused, this is a Gordo POV chapter. This entire story, after all, is titled after Gordo, right? I hope you enjoy reading!
PersonY2K: What's with July 15?
Chapter 9 - Boredom Unlimited
My, my, my... things have been getting so boring lately. For the past few days, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I do mean a LOT. Homework is no big deal for me, and so, I have a lot of time to myself for reflecting about what had happened that fateful night. If this does not stop, I might end up like the crazy Caligula or some other mad person out there. I guess I have my parents to thank for that...
That's right; my parents had me grounded up to the day before the Halloween dance. I think my parents thought that I would be missing a lot from my social life. Yeah, like I wouldn't be because of my grounding... but who cares? I won't be able to participate in any of the preparations for the Halloween dance. All these weeks I've been planning on becoming the head of the lights and sounds committee. Let's face it; the organizers have no idea how to bring down the house. I guess I grew tired of the same old songs being played before that I decided to do something for a change.
...
...
Sigh... I sure miss a lot of things... the Digital Bean, french fries, smoothies, all that junk food, the movies, even my phone(sadly, they took my phone privileges too), but most of all, I miss my two best friends, Miranda and Lizzie.
I guess things worked well for Miranda and Lizzie. Yes, I did take their punishments. I... just... can't imagine... having to let them be punished just because I stupidly decided not to tell all our parents about my plans... sheesh! Oh, Miranda, oh... oh... Lizzie... how are you doing?
What's with Lizzie? Wait, that doesn't sound right... What's with me? I mean, with all this responsibility and punishment, I feel so lonelier and lonelier with each passing day. It seems like this enigmatic 'void' I'm still trying to discover is getting bigger and harder to understand. I wonder if it has anything to do with... Lizzie...
Yeah right, Gordo. You know that's impossible! Before you got grounded, the three of you have always been together, whether at school, at lunch, at the Digital Bean... practically everywhere, counting out the girls' restrooms, of course. Poor Gordo, you just don't understand what all this is about yet, and, unless you get your punishment over with, there is nothing you CAN do!
...
Hmm... can't huh? Well, the nearest thing I can see to put any plan into action is the upcoming Halloween dance! I have all the time in the world to think about WHAT to do, but the question now is, exactly HOW could I do that? Argh! Why do my parents have to make everything so harsh on me?
My parents... oh sure they've been greatly kind in helping me discover the 'man' that I am, but why do they have to punish me so bad that I get to be isolated from everything... from everyone? Well of course there's still the group projects, but my parents had the principal assign school faculty to make sure that I don't group with my two best friends! What kind of parents would keep their children from totally great best friends; it's not like I'm going to get into any more trouble than what I'm already now... And besides, we've been friends for so long! Doesn't that count? Sheesh! Parents...
...
Ugh. The only work that I do nowadays is plain old schoolwork. Oh... how I miss my buddy... how I miss my video cam! Since that unfortunate night, my pursuit of a career in directing has been put to hiatus. I sure miss all the things that I've filmed... the karate project with Matt and Mr. McGuire, the junior high documentary on the fakes and secrets, and surely the unforgettable music video with Lizzie and Miranda; boy, those were the days... Alas my beloved cam, wherefore art thou?
...
...
...
...
...
I wonder what Lizzie and Miranda are doing right now? Perhaps, or should I say most probably, those two are on the phone, talking about broken nails or about a close encounter with Ethan. Well, at least we are all saving on three-way phone calls...
Oh, who am I kidding?! I just know that they're talking about me... curious about me... worried about me! How could they even manage to live without me, their best friend, one who has made the group whole? That makes me think... Lizzie probably couldn't concentrate on her science project worrying about me, and Miranda, well most likely she could be having a hard time working on that new math assignment...
...
Wow... I never knew that I could be that selfish. Or maybe I should say that I never knew that my parents could be that selfish? I just can't help but be troubled about my two best friends constantly worrying about me. Man, I'm so selfish... and so are my mom and dad...
Wait a minute... that gives me an idea; it is just so crazy, it might actually work. I guess my parents aren't the only psychiatrists in this family... mom, dad, just watch out!
...
Boy, it's already eleven in the evening?! I guess I was growing fond of thinking that I never knew it was already getting late... oh well... I guess... I'll just have to... talk to my parents... in the morning...
Good night Gordo...
Good night Miranda...
Good night... Lizzie... Lizzie... Liz... zie... sweet... dreams...
A/N: What could Gordo be up to? Well, Gordo's too smart to let grounding in the way of... oops! Stay around for more! Review please!
This turned out to be a shorter chapter, but I'm still trying hard to get into Gordo's head. Wow, I never knew getting into anyone's thoughts would be this difficult. Don't worry though, I'll try to place more POV chapters in the future!
Boy, I'm starting to find a pattern here... every time Gordo gets to think a lot, he falls asleep in the chapter... o well, he's tired... what can I do? Read and review please! Thanks!
