Chapter 12:Confussion
The next monday at school, Gordo walked out to the benches and let the wind play with his already tassled hair. His usually clear blue eyes were clouded over in grieve and confusion left over from three days of sleepless nights. He scanned the area until he found who he was looking for. In the far corner sat a pretty latino girl all by herself and deep in thought.
He walked over to her and fumbled nervously with his tray. "Hey," Gordo said in his most cheery voice. Miranda just glared up at him. Her eyes were puffy as if she'd been crying, and Gordo could tell she hadn't gotten much sleep.
"So, can I sit down?" he asked her. "Don't try to act like nothing happened," she spat at him. "Miranda, I'm really sorry," he pleaded sitting across from her.
"You really hurt me, Gordo. Sorry just doesn't cut it," Miranda croaked. "Miranda, I know. And we need to talk," Gordo answered quietly. "You've hurt me enough, Gordo. It'd be better for both of us if you just walked away," Miranda said avoiding his eyes.
"Miranda, Kate talked to me the other day, and it really started me thinking," Gordo began, "thinking about things like, how much do I really love Lizzie, and how come I'm trying to deny all feelings for you."
At that Miranda looked up at him, "Gordo, it's nice of you to come over here and try to make me feel better, but I can't take anything your saying and actually think you really mean it," that said, she picked up her tray and walked away.
Gordo just sat there in silence, hoping this was some kind of nightmare and he would wake up a any moment.
LIZZIE's POV
Lizzie sat at the picnic benched pouring over her algebra book. She couldn't concentrate, thinking about when Gordo had kissed her last friday. If he's going out with Miranda, then why did he kiss me? she thought to herself.
Part of her wanted to get back at Miranda, but another part didn't want to see her hurt. Her thoughts were interrupted when Cory came over. "Mind if I sit down?" he asked nervously.
"Sure," Lizzie answered, not up to trying to avoid him. She figured that if she imagined him as Gordo, it wouldn't be so bad. "Is something bothering you, you look kinda upset," Gordo/Cory asked in a conscerned voice.
"Yeah, everythings fine," she answered smiling slightly. "I was kinda wondering if you'd wanna go to the Digital Bean after school," Cory asked stirring his food.
"Yeah, that'd be great," Lizzie said dismissively. "Really?" Cory asked. "Yeah," she answered nodding standing up and going to take her tray over to the trash, followed by Cory.
"Lizzie, are you just afraid to say no to me?" he asked squinting at her. Lizzie stared at him, Yeah, she thought. But then again she didn't want ot hurt him so predictable she said, "Of course not, what gave you that idea?"
Cory smiled, "Good, because I really like you, Lizzie," with that, he leaned in until their lips met. Lizzie cringed at his touch but imagined Gordo's face in place of Cory's and everything seemed better.
GORDO's POV
"Kate, we need to talk," Gordo said after stomping over to the table were Kate was sitting with the rest of her cheerleader squad. Kate turned around and sighed, "Fine," she said in a bored tone.
Kate and Gordo walked over to an empty table and sat down. "Kate, I thought you said Miranda liked me," Gordo yelled at her. "She does," Kate answered twirling her hair around her finger.
"Well when I just told her that I wanted to start over and try to forget about Lizzie, she got up and left saying that she didn't believe me!" Gordo cried. "What exactly did you say?" asked Kate, who was now filing her nails boredly.
"I told her I was sorry and that I didn't know why I was trying to deny all feelings for her," Gordro sighed.
"Well duh! No wonder she walked away from you! No girl wants to be told that the man that they love is trying to deny all feelings for them!" Kate said waving her file around so wildly Gordo was afraid that she would stab his eye out.
"And Gordo, you hurt her. After a girl gets hurt like that, they tend to close up. Just because you say your sorry, she's not going to open up to you and let you come in so you can hurt her again," Kate said matter of factly.
"Then how do I get her to trust me again?" Gordo asked. "Show her that you love her," Kate replied casually. "But what if I'm still not sure about loving her," he said quietly to himself. "Gordo, are you still saying that you love Lizzie?" Kate asked looking up from her nails.
"You can't just stop loving someone when you want to," Gordo argued. "You can't love two people at once either," Kate retorted. "I just don't know what to do," Gordo said sighing.
"Listen, David, you are the smartest person I know, even smarter than me. I'm sure that if you just listen to yourself, everything will be fine," Kate said softly and walking off.
Gordo sat staring at the place where Kate once sat, "She called me David."
