(A/N: SO how has everyone's week gone? I have had an awesome week!! My friends gave me a surprise part for my 16th birthday and it was cool. Anyways, on with chapter 8!!)
Chapter Eight: "Settling In"
"We have two tents," Sam announced.
"Only two??" Lizzie asked.
"One for me and your mom and one for you, Matt, and Gordo," he explained.
'This is so cool, I get to share a tent with Lizzie,' Gordo thought dreamily. For a minute, he sort of just stood there stupidly with a goofy grin on his face.
"Uh, Gordo, help me out here?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah, uhhh, oh yeah, yeah, ok," Gordo said, snapping out of his trance.
The two of them began setting up the tent. It only had one room, but the box said it could comfortably sleep four people. After setting it up, Lizzie kind of doubted that.
"Wow, this thing is small," Lizzie noted.
"Yeah it is, great huh?" Gordo asked without thinking.
"Great? Uh, hardly..." Lizzie said, looking at him strangely.
"Great? Did I say great? No, no, I meant great sarcastically, like it's not good at all," Gordo corrected himself.
"Whatever," Lizzie said moving her suitcase and sleeping bag into the tent. "Where should I sleep?" she asked.
"Well, I doubt you want to sleep next to Matt," hinted Gordo. He wanted her to sleep next to him, if at all possible.
"Eww, I sure don't, how about I have one end, you sleep in the middle, and Matt gets the other end," Lizzie suggested.
"Sounds good to me," he said.
Lizzie got out of the tent and stood up, looking all around her. "It is beautiful here," she remarked.
"Yup, maybe we can go hiking or something tomorrow and really take a look at the view," Gordo suggested.
"I guess, there's nothing better to do," Lizzie said.
"Kids, help us find firewood for the campfire," Jo asked.
"Goody, this ought to be thrilling," Lizzie rolled her eyes.
Gordo's POV:
Wow, Lizzie seems really discouraged about this whole trip. I wish I could find a way to make her more happy. I love being around her, but I'm starting to get sick of her complaining. I mean, vacations aren't the biggest excitement, but I don't think it's that bad. Maybe because I'm a guy and this kind of thing is more interesting. Or maybe it's because Lizzie is with me.
No one's POV:
After they had collected a lot of firewood, Sam started a nice, hearty fire. Jo got out a pack of hotdogs from the cooler. Everyone had their own stick to cook the hotdogs on. It was fun cooking all of the hotdogs, and then later doing the marshmallows(sp??). Sure, they had accidentally dropped some of the food into the fire. But that's what made it more fun. Lizzie was starting to enjoy herself more. Which of course, made Gordo more happy. He didn't think life could better. But what did he know? It did.
