Gordo's POV
While Jason was talking, I saw Lizzie and Miranda just nod their head in confusion.
"I'm sorry Jason, how do you know so much about me and I never met you a day in my life" asked Miranda?
"Same question here" said Lizzie.
"Hey guys, me and Jason met over the summer. I was walking in the park with my video camera one day and he sort of bumped into me" I said.
"Well yeah, see I was kinda preoccupied with catching my tennis ball and I didn't see Gordo walking. I bumped into him really bad, he was okay but the video camera wasn't. So, to make amends I bought him to my house and gave him my video camera that I never use. We started to make small talk and before you knew it we became pretty good friends" said Jason.
"OOHHH" said Lizzie and Miranda together.
"Wait, I'm still confused on why you were trying to catch a tennis ball" said Miranda.
"Well Jason here is trying to be a professional tennis player" I said.
"Oh. So Jason, after you destroyed Gordo's camera you gave him a new one for free. Sounds like a good friend to me" said Miranda laughing.
"Yeah Jason is a good friend. We talked about a lot of things this summer, you know he is the first guy friend I have ever had" I said.
"So that's why you know so much about Miranda and I" said Lizzie.
"Yeah. Speaking of you and Miranda, Gordo I thought you have not talked to Lizzie in month's man" said Jason.
"It's a long story Jason, just know that Lizzie and I made up" I said.
"Oh, man Ms. McGuire you really had Gordo torn up about you this summer, but I helped him through it with a little bit of tennis and some good old fashion male bonding" said Jason.
"That's nice to know Jason. I hope everything Gordo told you wasn't all bad" said Lizzie.
"Actually none of it was bad. He was just hurt" said Jason.
"Okay, Okay! Enough with memory lane. Jason we were about to go see Lord of the Rings, want to join us" I said kinda in a hurry.
"Yeah that's why I came by, I wanted to see if you wanted to go" said Jason.
"Wait, dude I told you about Miranda's surprise party, and you said you were going to be here, so why didn't you come" I asked.
"Yeah, why didn't you come? You didn't want to meet me" asked Miranda jokingly.
"No that's not it, I have been dying to meet one of Gordo's best friends, but I got tied up" said Jason.
"Tied up doing what" I asked.
"How about I show you" said Jason looking kinda devilish. "Follow me!" said Jason
We all followed Jason outside, and the most beautiful thing I ever saw in my life besides Lizzie and Miranda was right before my eyes.
"You got a new car!" I screamed.
"Hell yeah man! And its not a car it's a 2004 black Expedition truck, that is fully loaded I might add!" said Jason.
I looked over at Lizzie and Miranda and they are standing there as if they saw Jesus Christ himself. There mouths are wide open.
"Hey snap out of it" I said waving my hands in front of their face.
"Wow! Jason how can you afford this? Aren't you poor high school students like us who depends on their parents for everything?" said Lizzie in one breath.
"Oh I forgot to tell you guys. Jason's parents are fully loaded. Meaning that he himself is pretty rich. And to top it all off his parents have gotten a divorce so they feel the need to give him a lot of lavish gifts" I said.
Jason just shook his head in agreement. I looked over at Miranda and she is still kinda shocked.
"Hey guys if we are going to the movies I suggest we leave now because it definitely will be sold out" said Jason.
"Come on guys" I said. "Lizzie you can sit up front with Jason because I think Miranda is still in shock about the truck" I said.
"Wait you have your license too" asked Miranda. "How old are you" she asked.
"I'm seventeen, which means I am a whole year older than you guys" said Jason smiling.
"So your gorgeous, rich, and you have a license! Guys I think the three amigos just became the four amigos" said Lizzie.
"Hey just don't be using me for my goodies" said Jason smiling at Lizzie, it almost seemed as if he was flirting.
Wait! What am I thinking, me and Lizzie are done. It is time for me to look for my one true love and forget about Lizzie.
Jason started the truck and we were on our way to the mall. He put in the new Outkast c.d. Since me and Jason have become friends he has broadened my horizons about hip hop music. I actually like some of it. I took this opportunity to think about the events of today. Lizzie and Jason were in the front seat making small talk, while Miranda was looking out of the backseat window. She looked really beautiful. I don't know what happened but ever since she walked through the door of the Digital Bean today, my mind has been in overdrive. She just looked so beautiful; she had the perfect outfit and the perfect hair. Mexico City definitely did Miranda good. She had grown to be a very, very, very attractive young women. And when she hugged me today, God I could have melted. As my arms were around her waist I realized how developed she had become and I almost didn't want to let her go. And she smelled so good, like roses on the water of a fresh lake. The way she smelled was refreshing like a breath of fresh air. Wait a minute! I am not supposed to be thinking about Miranda like this. My record with dating best friends is not that great. I have to get these thoughts out my head for good.
"Hey Gordo! Snap out of it, were here" said Miranda waving her hand in front my face.
"Oh sorry. I was just thinking" I said.
"We can see" said Lizzie laughing.
All I could do was smile. Jason announced that since it was our first outing together as the four amigos that he would treat everyone. Of course Lizzie and Miranda were in favor of this. Hey, I'm not complaining either. Jason bought the tickets, popcorn, and drinks. He and Lizzie waited for the snacks while Miranda and I went to go get the seats. We finally found the perfect seats and sat down.
"Gordo, I know I said this already but thanks for the party" said Miranda.
"You're welcome. You deserved it. I know it has been hard for you moving to a different country and stuff. So you deserved to feel welcome again" I said.
"Thanks Gordo" said Miranda hugging me again.
There's that fresh smell of roses on a fresh lake. God, what is she trying to do to me? I swear I am a good guy that should not be tortured like this.
"So, when is your family coming back" I said pulling away.
"Oh they should be back in 2 weeks. Since my grandmother has gotten better they are bringing her here to Hillridge" she said.
"Oh, hey I finally get to meet your grandmother" I said.
"Yeah and you get to meet my little sister Maria" she said.
"You have a little sister" I asked.
"Yeah my mom was pregnant with her when we left. She just didn't know it. Isn't that gross" she said laughing.
"Yeah it is" I said laughing.
"Hey guys were here" said Lizzie. "What are you guys laughing at?" she asked.
"The fact that Miranda's parents are still conceiving children" I said laughing.
"Isn't that gross" said Lizzie handing us our snacks.
"Yeah we were just saying that. Were is Jason?" I asked.
"He wanted to use the bathroom, he said that the movie was more than three hours long" said Lizzie.
"Smart guy. Maybe we should all go" said Miranda.
"Sounds like a plan to me" I said.
After we all used the bathroom, we settled down. Since I was last to come back I had the end seat right next to Miranda. I got to smell that sweet smell for the next three hours, I was in heaven. Before you knew it the movie was over and I was really excited.
"That is the best movie I have ever seen" I said.
"I would have to agree with you there Gordo" said Jason.
"Wow, guys its late, we better start getting home Miranda before my parents start flipping out" said Lizzie.
"Oh well, I will drive you ladies home" said Jason.
"Thanks" said Lizzie smiling.
Before you knew it we were in front of the McGuire's residence. We all gave each other hugs and said we would do something for tomorrow. Of course I gave Miranda a hug and it was a long one. I don't know why but I didn't want to let her go, and it almost felt like she didn't want to let me go either.
"Hey Jason Thanks for everything" said Miranda pulling away. "I really appreciate everything you and Gordo have done for me and Lizzie today" she said.
"No problem" said Jason with his signature smile.
"We should get going to" I said.
"See you guys tomorrow" said Lizzie closing the front door.
"Bye" said Jason.
"See ya" I said. I hope to smell that sweet smell tomorrow I thought.
While Jason was driving me home, we both were in deep thought. I was thinking about Miranda and God only know what he was thinking about.
"Gordo, you are really lucky man" said Jason breaking the silence.
"Why you say that" I asked.
"Your two best friends in the world are fine!" said Jason laughing.
"Yeah" I said starting to laugh.
We chuckled over this for a few minutes.
"Gordo, I have a question to ask you. But I am afraid that you will get mad at me for asking" said Jason.
"What's the question? It can't be that bad" I said.
"You sure" asked Jason.
"I'm 100% sure!" I said.
He hesitated for a few minutes but asked. "Gordo would you mind if I asked Lizzie out on a date?" he said in one breath.
While Jason was talking, I saw Lizzie and Miranda just nod their head in confusion.
"I'm sorry Jason, how do you know so much about me and I never met you a day in my life" asked Miranda?
