Gordie heard the bell dismissing lunch and decided to go to the restroom before he went to class. Chris was in his fifth period and he didn't want him to see that he was still upset. On his way he saw a couple making out and remembered his date with Haley after school and cheered up. Once he has used the bathroom, Gordie washed his hands and told himself again that he hated Chris, but then he remembered his face that morning, his cheek had looked a little bruised, not to mention the fact that he had obviously been crying, something Chris did not do. He wondered if his dad had hit him again, then told himself he didn't care and headed to class. On his way to class he saw the couple again and was wondering if they would ever come up for air when they separated. The girl started walking his way and suddenly Gordie realized who it was.

"Haley!" Gordie shouted, shocked.

"What baby?" She asked, not realizing what he had seen.

"What do you mean what? You were just kissing another guy! A lot!" he exclaimed.

"Oh, so you saw?" she asked casually.

"Who was it?" he asked angrily.

"Who oh him?" she asked pointing over her shoulder, she shrugged.

"YOU DON'T KNOW? You didn't even know him?" he asked incredulously.

"Not really, I think his name might have been…Mark or something?" she guessed calmly.

"You didn't even know the guy?!" he shouted again.

"We have already clarified that I didn't know the guy. But wasn't he cute?" she raised her eyebrows and giggled.

"What the FUCK Haley!" he exclaimed.

"If I had realized you were this uptight I never would have dated you! Even someone as hot as Chris isn't worth this!" Haley said exasperatedly.

"WHAT!!!!!" Gordie screamed.

"Oh honey, you didn't think I actually liked you, did you? No offense but I mean, come on. I'm a little bit out of you league. I was gonna break it off with you today, since Chris wasn't interested. But I thought your righteous little act this morning was cute so I decided it might be entertaining to see what you would do for a couple of days, but I guess we'll just end it now, it's all the same to me." she said.

"You were planning when you were gonna break up with me while we were kissing?" Gordie asked incredulously.

"Oh don't look at me like that. I mean, look at it this way, after that little performance, I was planning on going out with you for a couple more days, and this time it would have been because of you! You should be flattered! I mean, that was really cute this morning… really it was!" Haley said rubbing salt in the wound.

"It was also a great way to make Chris jealous" she muttered under her breath.

"Chris? What does he have to do with that?" Gordie asked, not understanding.

"Didn't you see him standing there? I thought he was the inspiration for the whole episode" she said, a little confused herself now.

"What's that supposed to mean!" Gordie asked defensively.

"Just that I thought he had told you that I had hit on him and you were trying to prove to him that I liked you, not him. What did you think I meant?" She looked at him like he was strange.

"Well, obviously I didn't know, or I wouldn't have asked." Gordie said.

"Look kid, this has been real entertaining, but I have better things to do" she started walking away.

"Like what?!?! Screwing my best friend!!" Gordie shouted to her back.

"Oh. So you guys are still friends? That wasn't the impression I got. Oh, and to answer your question, that would be a no. I don't date guys who cry." with a shiver, she turned around and walked away.

Gordie stared at her retreating back until it disappeared from his view.

"Fuck!!" he exclaimed.

Gordie sat there for a few minutes just thinking about how much he hated her. She was the biggest bitch he had ever met. The girl he had just talked to had been cruel, condescending, skanky, and just plain old mean. What had he see in her in the first place? "big boobs and a nice butt" Chris' voiced popped into his head. Chris. He had warned him. He had told him not to go out with her. And what had he done? Shoved his caring in his face. Oh my gosh. Chris was going to hate him. He was going to absolutely hate him. And Gordie didn't blame him, he had been a complete and total ass! Gordie ran his hand through his hair and headed to class trying to decide what to do.

When Gordie got to class, the first thing he saw was Chris sitting there in his seat, which happened to have no free seats around it. This is going to be harder than I thought. Gordie thought to himself as he sat down in a seat a few rows away from Chris and tried to figure out what he was going to do. Suddenly his words from last night popped into his head…I fucking hate you…they were all right…just like the rest. Oh my gosh. Gordie thought, feeling sick. I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it! Chris will know that…right? Oh my gosh. What am I going to do? He's gonna hate me! He decided to try to get his attention to let him know that he was sorry. It was Chris! He couldn't stay mad! Gordie was positive that he would at least hear him out. He balled up a piece of paper and waited until Mrs. Datson turned away and threw it at Chris' head. Chris, thinking Gordie was doing it out of anger, simply made a sad face, bowed his head, turned his face away.

Fuck! Gordie thought Just gave him another reason to hate me. Well aint that just dandy!
