Chapter 6

Gordo's POV

"David, would you mind waiting a minute, while I run to the ladies' room?" Lana asked.

"No problem," I said, watching her black hair flow behind her as she disappeared into the crowd.

"So, how is she?" a voice behind me started. I turned.

"Hi, Carol. She's alright, for someone you chose for me," I answered.

"Ha ha ha, very funny. I happen to know that she thinks you are very cute. Be nice to my friend, David. You better not make me regret introducing one of my friends to you," Carol scoffed. "Now, I'm going home now. See you soon."

I kissed her on the cheek and said goodbye. I took a swig of my beer. Here I was with this amazing girl, and I could think about was Lizzie.

My thoughts were interrupted when two guys sat down next to me.

"Two beers," one of them ordered.

"Uh, excuse me," I said, tapping the one next to me. He turned. "That seat's taken."

"Hey, Kyle, do you see anyone in this seat?" he asked his friend loudly. Kyle shook his head. "Then, I don't know what this shrimp is talking about," he finished nastily.

I sat back indignantly, but defeated. I was not a shrimp! Memories of middle school came flooding back to me, when I was picked on for being short. But now I was of average height. Well, not compared to these guys. They were huge, maybe 6 feet something, plus, they were way more muscular than me.

I resumed waiting for Lana.

"So, is that chick hot or not?"

"Oh, definitely. Is she gonna be a keeper?"

"Nah, as far as I'm concerned, she's just a nice piece of ass."

I rolled my eyes. The guy next to me was just like I'd imagined. I felt sorry for the girl he chose tonight.

He spoke up again. "She's already in love with me," he said cockily.

"Whatever, Gary, you've already lost your touch. You're not a college boy no more."

"I've still got my touch! Hey, who was the guy that she was dancing with over there then? Was it not me?"

They got up and left.

Lizzie's POV

I rushed into an empty stall in the ladies' room and threw up my dinner and what must've been part of my lunch.

"Lizzie!" someone cried.

"Are you ok?" another voice said worriedly. I leaned against the wall. I was a little dizzy and shaky.

"I think I'm ok, Kate." I had just said that when I felt nauseous again.

Miranda held my hair back for me while the second wave of sickness washed over me.

"Thanks, guys," I said gratefully. I walked slowly to the sinks, rinsed my mouth, and washed my face.

"It must've been something you ate at dinner," Kate guessed.

"Probably… no," I said, patting my face dry with the towel. I had been so busy throwing up that I didn't notice what the bathroom looked like.

"Wow, this is the nicest bathroom I've ever been in!" I exclaimed. It was immaculate, with pink marble counters and pink carpet, even lighted mirrors if you needed to redo your makeup. I spotted two couches in the corner, like a sitting room.

"Ok, maybe we better sit down," I told them. The two of them sat on either side of me.

"These couches are nice!" Kate said excitedly.

"Very useful too," Miranda added. "It's made for us girls to come in and meet and talk about our dates."

We laughed. "Ok, anyway, what were you saying, Lizzie?" Miranda interrupted.

I took a deep breath and motioned for them to scoot closer.

"I think I have a hunch why I've been throwing up lately- and it's not the food," I added when Kate opened her mouth. She closed it.

"You guys… I think I might be…pregnant," I told them nervously. I had been wondering that for a while, but telling them seemed to make it official.

"Oh, my God!" squealed Miranda.

"Shhh!" I hissed. "I don't want anybody to know!"

"When did it happen, why didn't you tell us?!?"

"That's not what I want to know," Kate said excitedly. I braced myself. "Who's the father?"

"I was hoping you guys wouldn't ask," I groaned.

"Lizzie! You have to tell us!" Miranda replied.

I buried my head in her shoulder and muttered something.

"What?"

I lifted my head.

"Gordo," I said in a small voice. Kate and Miranda sat stunned for a moment.

"When did you… what…" Miranda trailed off.

"You were in Mexico," I said tiredly. "Larry had a birthday party, and we both got really drunk. It was when Kate was there," I added, looking at her. "I don't even really remember, just that we definitely…did it," I finished.

"Does he know?" Kate asked in a hushed voice. I shook my head.

"Don't tell him!" I said vehemently. "Not yet! Only you two know. It's not even definite yet."

"Have you seen a doctor?" Miranda asked.

"No, that's why it's not definite. I haven't even taken a test yet. But I have this feeling, plus I missed my last period." I waited for their responses apprehensively.

They shrieked and hugged me. I laughed at doubting my two best friends.

"Congratulations! For possibly being pregnant!" Kate exclaimed. Miranda hugged me hard and jumped up and down.

"Oh, I can't believe it!" she shrieked. "You and Gordo! I always knew you'd be so cute together!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I stopped. "Whoever said anything about being together? It's not going to happen!"

"Yes it is!" Kate argued. "It's perfect! You're having his baby-"

"Not even for sure!" I cut her off. "Besides, he's already falling in love with that other girl," I said, tears forming in my eyes. Miranda and Kate let me cry and stroked my hair.

"Sorry, I'm just being stupid," I said, sitting up and wiping my eyes. "Just, my, my, hormonal imbalances, I guess." I tried to smile.

"You guys are the best!" I hugged them again. I washed my face again, and reapplied my makeup.

"What are you going to do now?" Miranda said.

"I'm not really in the mood to finish my date, so I'll just say bye to him."

"Who's Gary?" Kate demanded.

"Just a guy I met tonight. He bought me a drink. They guys probably are wondering what we're doing in here," I laughed.

"Well, we'll just let them wonder!" Kate exclaimed. "No way are we leaving you by yourself!"

"Do you want us to come stay with you tonight?" Kate asked concernedly.

"No, I'm fine you guys, thanks. I just want to be by myself tonight, no offense," I replied.

"Ok, you go say goodbye to Gary, and Ethan and I will drive you home. Meet us at the front entrance," Kate offered. I looked at Miranda.

"It's fine, I'm having fun with Larry. I'll hitch a ride with him," she said giving me a little push out the door.

We stepped back out and she went her way. I went through the crowd, trying to find Gary.
