Chapter Seven - Confessions at the Food Store
a/n thanx to all my reviewers! Woohoo *does victory dance*
"Kally hurry up! By the time we get there the grocery store is going to be closed!" Gordie called from the living room.
Kally cringed as she struggled with her hair in front of her mirror. Finally, after deciding to just put in a ponytail, she raced down the stairs and landed with a soft "thump" before whacking Gordie in the back for laughing at her.
"Shut up LaChance!" She murmered as they both walked out of the house.
"Sorry, it's just..what's that supposed to be on top of your head? A bird's nest?" Gordie started cracking up once again. Kally just glared at him and inspected her hair in a parked car along the street.
"It doesn't look THAT bad!" She said, trying to flatten fly-away hair. "Besides, we're only going to the market! I don't see the joy in that!" She laughed as Gordie and her entered Smith's Groceries.
The market was old fashioned and laid back..Castle Rock didn't have many up-to-date stores. After Gordie and Kally got a shopping cart, they started picking out vegetables and such.
"So.."Kally said, inspecting an eggplant. "Who are you taking to the dance this Friday?"
Gordie peered at Kally over a cereal box. "Well I was gonna go with Mila, but seeing as we broke up.." he trailed off.
Kally dropped the eggplant in to the cart, and gaped at her older cousin. "WHAT?!? You and Mila broke up? When? How? Why?" She was totally surprised.
"Well," Gordie started as they made their way through the isles. "Anyone who insults my cousin and friend in front of everyone can't be worth anything." He grinned. "No seriously, I never thought Mila would be the 'evil' type. I mean, Kally, you're like my best friend besides Chris, and well, you're more important to me than her."
Kally was touched. "Jesus Gordie, I didn't know I meant that much to you." She gave him a playful nudge. Then something dawned on her.
"Um, say..Gordie?" Gordie looked up at Kally as he weighed apples. "Is um..is Chris going to the dance with Jamie? Does he like her?" Kally seriously thought she was blushing and felt her face grow hot. She diverted her eyes from Gordie's.
Gordie smiled at his younger cousin. "Well, he's not going with Jamie, and he doesn't like her as far as I know..I mean who could? She's incredibly annoying and all she does is play with her blonde curls. Anyways, why is this so important?"
Kally sighed. She could trust her cousin. She had to tell SOMEONE besides Lauren her feelings for Chris.
"Please don't tell anyone Gordie," she muttered. "I know you know I like Chris."
Gordie laughed. "You've got a funny way of showing it. You've been nothing but ignorant to him the whole time you've been here!"
Kally sighed as she handed the money to the cashier and her and Gordie walked out of the store with their bags. "I know, it's just..after what happened with..with Jake back home..I'm just scared..besides, Chris would never like me..I mean, who could like an 'Ice Princess?'"
Gordie shook his head. "Well if you weren't so rude sometimes, people would like you."
Kally punched him in the shoulder harder than the meant. "I know asshole!" She grinned despite herself. "Anyways, thanks Gordie. I needed to get that off my chest. I just have to tell Chris how I feel now.."
Gordie laughed. "Well here's your chance Ice Princess." He pointed to Chris waving in their direction.
Kally squealed like a little girl. "Not now! Um..later?" She giggled as Chris came closer. She sighed, rolled her eyes, and followed behind Gordie as Chris greeted them.
