"Hello, there, Miranda," he said, and walked up to Slit and I at the park. Startled, we broke out of our hug, Slit still with his arm around me.
"Hi, Gordo… What brings you here to the park? And with…" I gestured to the blonde that was still sitting, gaping.
"Oh, we were just passing by, and, who should we see but you!" He said in a fake-happy-surprised tone.
"Gordo, you know we shouldn't lie to her," Kate said. "Miranda, it's… Never mind. I'll call you later, I really need to talk to you, and it's about Lizzie," she finished lamely, her eyes darting nervously around the park.
" Oh, OK, Kate, and Gordo, tell Lizzie I say Hi. Where is she, by the way?" I asked in a sugary-sweet fake tone.
"She couldn't make it," Gordo said, and nudged Kate, who had opened her mouth to say something different.
"Yeah. Couldn't make it," Kate said, and grabbed Gordo and started walking away.
"No, why do I feel as if they're keeping something from me?" I asked Slit sarcastically.
"Hmm, I wonder," he said, and stroked his chin. "I've got it! I think they actually are keeping something from you!"
I put my head down. "I just don't understand what I've done to make them do this to me. I mean, they used to be so nice!"
He put his hand in mine. "Let's go somewhere," he suggested.
"Where?" I asked, knowing that neither one of us wanted to go back to his apartment.
"Let's go to the bowling alley! When's the last time you've been bowling?" He asked, winking at me.
"OK," I said, remembering the last time I went bowling. I spent the whole time telling Gordo that bowling was good, and then Lizzie's dad showed up!

"Strike!" Slit cried, and ran back to where I was sitting with the fries. I had just taken a fry in my mouth when he kissed me.
"What was that for?" I asked, practically choking on my fry.
"From now on, any time one of us gets a strike or a spare, we kiss." OK, I was cool with that. A kiss from the world's most babealicious boy!
"OK," I said. "Just make sure we always swallow everything before."
"Whatever."
Two more rounds and 10 more kissed later, we decided to go to the mall. Sure, people would look at us strangely, but that was just half the fun! We ran around from store to store, forgetting our age, hiding in clothes racks and jumping out. After about an hour of that we both got tired and decided to take one of my tents and camp out in the park. IT wasn't dark yet, so we went for burgers and banana splits.
"So," Slit said, with a huge piece of banana in his mouth, "What's the schedule for tonight?" he asked, taking another bite of the sundae. I looked over at him, and he had a bit of whipped cream on his lip. I couldn't help it, he looked so adorable, I leaned over and licked it off of him.
"Miranda!" He yelled, and took a bite of my sundae.
"What?" I replied innocently, batting my eyelashes.
"Nothing," he said, smiled, and kissed me.
