We left the DB twenty minutes later and walked around the mall for a while
before deciding which shops we wanted to visit. Or rather, Miranda decided
what shops we were going to visit.
I could tell Gordo was bored straight away. Either that or he had other
things on his mind; I was willing to bet that it was other things. I doubt
that he even knew where he was. I searched for his hand and found it and
squeezed it gently. He looked up at me and smiled softly.
"You ok?" I asked him.
"Yep, I'm here with you, things couldn't get any better." He smiled but I could see that the smile didn't reach his eyes. I could tell he was upset about something, I just didn't get why he wouldn't tell me what it was.I mean, we are boyfriend and girlfriend. Best. Friends. Why wouldn't he tell me?
We wandered around holding hands and trailing after Miranda. Suddenly I didn't feel so into the whole shopping idea. I just wanted to go home, but I humoured Miranda and we shopped until she found what she needed. She held up a pair of star shaped earrings.
"These will go perfectly with my sparkly jeans and my baby blue tee don't you think Lizzie? Lizzie? Anyone home?"
She waved her hand in front of my face. I frowned slightly and grabbed her hand; it was starting to make me motion sick.
"Sure Miranda, whatever." I was looking at Gordo again who had wandered away to look in the window of a camera shop. I walked over to him as Miranda made her purchase.
"Are sure you're ok? You seem a little down." I rubbed his back gently while I spoke. I was afraid he didn't even realise I was there.
"Yeah Lizzie, promise I'm fine. Oh damn, it's 5:00, told Dad I'd be home by 5:15. I gotta run, see you tomorrow. Bye Miranda."
Miranda looked up and waved to him cheerfully but I couldn't help but notice the look that passed between them. Miranda looked worried.
"Ok," I said as we wandered down the mall. "Now I know something's going on, I saw that look you two shared, I saw you whispering in the DB. What's going on Miranda?"
I asked calmly. After all, it could be nothing. I watched as Miranda looked everywhere around me but not at me. Finally she took a breath and answered me.
"Nothings going on Lizzie, you're paranoid, Gordo's fine." She smiled at me gently.
"Alright then. What were you two whispering about in the Digital Bean then?"
"That?" she asked waving her hands around carelessly. "It was nothing too. Ok so it wasn't anything. We were just having a debate."
"A debate?" I asked raising an eyebrow in disbelief. "About what?"
"Geez Lizzie, why so nosy. It was nothing to worry about. Nothing concerning you."
Ouch. That hurt. Could she have been any ruder?
"Alright fine. Don't tell me then."
With that I walked away from her as fast as I could without running and hailed a cab and sat in the back crying, I just couldn't help it, no one was telling me anything anymore. It never used to be like this. We're supposed to be the three Amigo's, not the lone rangers or something like that. I tell Miranda and Gordo everything, so why were they keeping secrets from me? Their best friend.
