Chapter 16
Gordo and Miranda walked into the gym where the dance was taken place in. There were lots of colored stroll lights, disco balls, and balloons everywhere. The theme was 'Disco Night' and so the DJ was playing a classic song ' Stayin Alive'. Miranda laughed as she looked over at Gordo who had one eyebrow raised.
" Why am I here," Gordo whined as he placed his hand over his face. Miranda laughed harder at his comment.
" Oh now, it isn't that bad," Miranda said as she watched some freshmen guy do the splits. " Ouch"
" I'm going to pretend I didn't see that," Gordo said as he walked to an empty table. Miranda followed right behind him.
" Well that was interesting," Miranda said still shocked at what that guy did back there. Gordo sat down in one of the chairs and made a weird look at Miranda.
" Not helping with getting the image out of my mind, Miranda," Gordo said. Miranda laughed and sat down beside him.
" Sorry," Miranda said as she looked around the dance floor. " So, you want to dance"
" Actually I was going to get a drink. You want one," Gordo asked.
" Sure, sounds good," Miranda said as she fixed a piece of hair that had fallen down from her bun.
" Anything in particular you want to drink," Gordo asked as he stood up from his chair.
" Coke, Mountain Dew, whatever they got. It doesn't matter," Miranda said as she smiled up at him.
" Ok, be back soon," Gordo said as he pushed through the crowd of people and over to the food table. He noticed all the cakes and pies they had and his stomach growled at the sight of it all.
" Yo, G-man. What's up," said a familiar voice from behind him. Gordo didn't even turn around since he knew exactly who it was.
" Not much, What about you, Ethan," Gordo asked as he grabbed a plate and a plastic fork from the table.
" Dancing, eating, checking out the ladies. You know the usual guy stuff. Yo," Ethan said as he stood beside Gordo. " No way, peach pie. This stuff is way good"
Gordo laughed. " Right, Well are you alone or do you have a date," Gordo asked as he picked up a piece of chocolate cake and a slice of cherry pie and placed them on his plate.
" Nah, I am playing the field tonight, Yo," Ethan said as he smiled at Gordo. " Dude, how's my hair"
Gordo rolled his eyes as he watched Ethan run his hand through his hair. ' Why ask that question, he already knows his hair is perfect. Better than mine at least' Gordo thought to himself. " Looks good, Well I best be going now. I have Miranda waiting for me with her soda"
" Ah, ok man. Where's Lizzie at, oh wait. Don't tell me that you and Miranda came together as a couple," Ethan asked.
" No, we came as friends and as for Lizzie, um I don't really know where she is," Gordo said as he looked around the gym. It was kind of hard to figure out if Lizzie was actually there or not since half the girls in the gym room had long blond hair.
" I heard from Kate that you and Miranda weren't friends with Lizzie anymore, is that true. Man," Ethan asked as he took a big bite out of his peach pie. Gordo wasn't surprised one bit that Kate went and told people about what was going on between Lizzie, Miranda, and him.
" We had some fall outs but we are working it out," Gordo said trying to make it sound like it wasn't as bad as probably want Kate has been telling the whole school.
" I'm sorry, dude. I hope it works out for the better," Ethan said with his still full with the peach pie.
" Thanks, well see ya around," Gordo said as he grabbed two cokes and walked away from Ethan. He heard Ethan shout 'Chow' and he laughed a bit. He met back over at the table and saw that Miranda wasn't there. He placed the two cokes and his plate of food down on the table and looked around the dance floor. He finally noticed her a few feet away dancing with Jacob Summers, a sophomore who was a hockey player for their school. Gordo smiled lightly as he saw the happiness that was in Miranda's expression, he was glad that she could smile after what all that has happened. He sighed as he sat down at the table and opened his coke. He took a few sips while watching Miranda and the others dance to ' Jungle Boogie'. He personally didn't like disco much since his parents would play it in the car whenever they all went out together. He grew to be annoyed by it a bit. As the song ended the DJ started to speak out of the microphone.
" Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to slow it down a tune. So hold your ladies tight guys and enjoy the dance of love," The DJ said as he turned up the speakers and ' Love will keep us alive' By The Eagles came blasting out. Gordo sighed even harder, not only did he love this song but he wanted so badly to dance. He placed his hand on his cheek and watched as everyone danced close together, even Ethan was dancing with someone.
" Would you care to dance," someone said from behind him. Gordo looked back and saw Lizzie standing there with a smile. He quickly got up shocked at how beautiful she looked and how she was here asking him to dance with her.
" I um...Wh-Where's R-Ronnie," Gordo finally said as he face blushed a bit at how badly he was stuttering He couldn't help it, she was standing there with a beautiful dress and her face glowing.
" We broke up," Lizzie said as she looked down a bit than back up at him.
" Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," Gordo said. He knew deep down inside he was screaming for joy. She was single and he was willing to spoil his heart out to her, or at least he thought.
" Don't be, I have been so stupid and a terrible friend. I was suppose to be on you and Miranda's side, but I believe some guy over your trust. I am the one who is sorry," Lizzie said as tears started to fall down from her cheeks. Gordo stepped closer to Lizzie and lifted him hand to her cheek and gently wrapped it away.
" Please don't cry, you will mess up your makeup and you know you don't want to do that," Gordo said. Lizzie laughed and wrapped the rest of her tears away.
" So do you care to dance with a horrible friend," Lizzie said with a laugh. Gordo placed his hand into hers and looked at her with a straight face.
" Your not a horrible friend, you ended it with the one person you loved to be back with your friends again, I think that was brave of you, even though I missed you dearly," Gordo said as he led her to the dance floor. Lizzie wrapped her arms around Gordo's neck and looked up into his eyes.
" Actually your wrong about one thing," Lizzie said to him. Gordo looked at her with a confused look on his face.
" And what's that," Gordo asked.
" At first I was in love with Ronnie, or at least I thought I was until I realized I was in love with someone else the whole time," Lizzie said. Gordo raised an eyebrow at her.
'Oh no, she loves someone else' Gordo thought to himself. He closed his eyes for a second than opened them, Lizzie was about to speak when he cut her off. " Lizzie I... I don't think I can handle it if you tell me your in love again"
" But Gordo, I think you would want to know who it is," Lizzie tried to say.
" But I don't. I'm sorry," Gordo said. The song ended and Gordo released his arms around her stomach and started to walk off the dance floor. Lizzie stood there a few seconds trying to think of what to do to convince him that she was in love with him. She than thought of an idea. She turned around and ran over to Gordo. She than stood right in front of him so he wouldn't move anywhere.
" Lizzie...," Gordo began to say but she cut him off this time.
" No, Listen to me Gordo. I love you. There I said it, your the one who I had fallen in love with and I just hope that somehow you loved me too," Lizzie said. Gordo stood there a bit shocked than let out a small laugh. " Oh, now you laugh...great I just made a big fool out of my....
Before Lizzie couldn't finished what she was saying. Gordo leaned in quickly and placed his lips on hers. The kiss lasted for a few seconds than Gordo pulled away with a silly grin on his face. Lizzie who basically looked like her jaw hit the floor, stared at Gordo.
" I wanted to do that for a long, long," Gordo said with a laugh. " Oh, and does that answer your question if I love you"
Lizzie finally snapped back to reality and grabbed Gordo's neck and kissed him. It was his turn to be shocked. They kissed for a good solid minute until she pulled back and smiled.
" Yes," said Lizzie.
" Wow...," Gordo said as he placed his hand to his lips and smiled at Lizzie. Lizzie blushed and noticed that Miranda was coming over by them.
" Hey Miranda, I think we need to talk," Lizzie said.
" Don't worry about it, I forgive you," Miranda said with a smile. " I noticed it got little hot over here"
Gordo and Lizzie turned red as they both laughed.
" Shut up, Miranda," Gordo said as he lightly punched her arm.
" Ouchie, that hurt buddy," Miranda said in a jokin voice as she looked over at Lizzie. " I really missed you"
" I missed you too. Both of you," Lizzie said as she leaned in and hugged Miranda. Miranda hugged her back and pulled away.
" Now let's go boogie," Miranda shouted as she ran back into the dance floor.
Lizzie looked over at Gordo who stood there like a rock.
" No way, You know I don't dance fast and especially to disco," said Gordo as he crossed his arms around his stomach.
" Aww, but could you try it at least once..for me," Lizzie said as she battered her eyes at him. Gordo laughed and shook his head.
" Your too cute, fine let's go boogie... and I can't believe I actually just said that," Gordo said.
Lizzie shrieked when he said 'yes' and pulled him into the dance floor. They met up with Miranda and all three of them danced the night away.
The End.
