Chapter 2

When Gordo got hom he walked into the kitchen to see his parents sitting at the table talking. They stopped suddenly when Gordo walked in. "Umm . . ."Gordo muttered, "Is something wrong?" His parents just lookd at him. "Okay . . .do you want me to go up to my room?" Still no response. Gordo thought he knew what was going on, "Did Mrs. McGuire call you?" But still there was no response. "What's going on?" He practically screamed. But still his parents stared at him like he was some kind of mutant.

"Why would Mrs. McGuire call?" His mom finally said.

"Well . . . umm . . . because Lizzie and I um . . . kissed and they were pretty mad at us." Gordo said walking a little further towards his parents ready to get in trouble.

"David, come. Sit down." His father said pulling out a chair, "Mrs. McGuire did call."

"So, you're mad at me?" Gordo asked with a bit of dissapointment in his voice.

"No, not at all!" His mother said, "We want to make that clear."

His father nodded and continued, "We believe you need to make your mistakes sometimes and, to be truthful, I don't know if this is a mistake."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, sweetheart, what your father is saying, is . . ." She gave Mr. Gordon a resentful look,"Well, just that we don't have a problem with you and Lizzie kissing."

"David, why don't you go up to your room." Gordo nodded and stood up. He walked to the doorway and heard his dad say, "Why did you do that?"

Gordo turned around and said, "Is everything okay?"

"Yes, David. Everything's fine." His father said cooly, "Go to your room." Gordo turned around again and went up to his room.

.::At school::.

At lunch the next day Lizzie didn't see Gordo all day. She was really upset and wanted to find him to tell him they weren't allowed to see each other for a month. But of course Lizzie wasn't going to listen to her parents. When Lizzie finally did find Gordo he was sitting at a lunch table with Miranda. They apparently made up, "Gordo, I need to tell you something." Lizzie said.

"Do you mind?" Miranda said, "We're trying to have a converstaion here."

"I'm sorry Miranda." Lizzie set her tray down on the table and sat next to Gordo. "Go on."

"Never mind." Miranda muttered, "I'm going to go get some jello."

Lizzie's eyebrows went up. Not wanting to upset Miranda anymore Lizzie waited until she was out of earshot until she said, "Jello-O?" Lizzie rolled her eyes, "So, what were you talking about?"

Gordo shook his head, "Never mind. What did you want to tell me?"

Lizzie looked him in the eye, "We're not supposed to see or talk to each other for a month. But I'm not going to obey my parents. They're wrong on this one."

"Lizzie, maybe we should. Maybe we just need to . . . take a break from each other."

"What?" Lizzie said outraged, "Gordo, are . . . are you mad at me?"

"No, I just . . . I think we need to . . .spend some time apart. Just for a little while."

Lizzie stood up, "O . . Okay. I'll see you later then."

"Yeah." Gordo dropped his head onto the table as soon as Lizzie was out of sight. "Why?" He thought to himself, "I'm such an idiot. I can't believe I let this happen. Why couldn't I control myself?" out of anger he threw his milk carton acroos the lawn, wher he sat. Just as he did, though, Principal Tweety (A/N is that his name?) walked by and the milk hit him on the side of the face. He spun around to the side and stared straight at Gordo, "Detention, Mr. Gordon. After school." Gordo rolled his eyes, sighed, and dropped his head again.
