CHAPTER 4
The Digital Bean (Gordo's P.O.V.)
I walked into the Digital Bean and plopped down on a stool at the counter. I ordered some fries and moved to a small booth. It used to be that two other people would be sitting in the booth with me, but today it was all Gordo. I finished my fries in about ten minutes, but decided to stay and sit a while longer.
I looked at a fly on the wall, and thought of swatting it and ending it's pathetic 48-hour life. But then, how would that fly be any different than me? I mean, sure, I've lived, and will live, longer than 48 hours, but the fly would still be squashed. Just like me.
I looked away from the wall just in time to see Kate Sanders walking in. Great, this was all I needed. I was in no mood for Kate. But she spotted me and walked in my direction. What was she doing?
"I thought I'd find you here." She said.
"And?" I asked, not feeling like exchanging insults today.
"Ok, I know this goes against everything I'm about, but you and Lizzie need my help." I raised an eyebrow at her. I didn't need help from Kate.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me right. You might now realize it, but you and Lizzie need me." She said, sitting down across from me, but only after she glanced around to make sure that no one she knew was around.
"Why do you want to help us?" I wasn't sure about this.
"Because, deep down inside of me, there's good." She said in a snotty and agitated voice. Oh yeah, that was really showing me her nice side...
"No there isn't." she contemplated this for a moment.
"Ok, you're right. I just don't want Lizzie to call me anymore." I snorted. Like Lizzie had actually called her about me. "Wake up Gordork," I hated that name. "I'm telling the truth." She sat back and looked at me with the most innocent (but fake) look that I had ever seen on Kate. I sighed.
"Alright. I believe you. But if you pull ANYONE, I'll tell the entire school that you were nice to me." Kate rolled her eyes. "I'll work with you if you agree not to totally screw me over." I said, sticking out my hand. Kate looked a little surprised at the fact that I had used even remotely foul language. But then she stuck out her hand and shook mine. "Ok then." I said. "What's the plan?"
