Chapter 13: Bye bye bowling shirts
Gordo laid on his back, staring at his ceiling. He watched the blades on the fan spin around and felt the slight breeze caress his face. His mind raced over all the things that had happened in the past few weeks.
I'm only fifteen, why is life so difficult? he thought putting his pillow over his face. "How do you expect to get any girls like that?" came a voice from his door. Gordo sat up in surprise, "Kate? What are you doing here? How'd you get in?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"Your mom let me in. And I'm here because I'm trying to help you," Kate answered looking around his room curiously. "How do you plan on helping me?" Gordo asked still not believing that Kate was there. In his house. In his room.
"I'm taking you to the mall to get new clothes," she answered matter of factly sitting on the end of his bed. "What's wrong with my clothes?" he asked pulling at his shirt.
"Hate to brake it to you, but bowling shirts aren't exactly in," Kate said filing her nails once again. "So," Gordo said stubbornly. "Hello, have you seen Lizzie's new boyfriend, Cory? He doesn't wear bowling shirts," she responded not looking up from her nails.
Gordo felt a twisting feeling in his gut, "He's her boyfriend now?" he asked, not really wanting to know the answer. "Duh, didn't you see them in front of the trash can today?" Kate answered.
Groaning Gordo fell back on his bed. "Come on, David. We don't have all day. The mall closes in five hours," Kate said shaking him. "Leave me alone," he groaned hitting her with his pillow.
"Gordo!" she yelled grabbing the pillow and hitting him back repeatedly. "Oww, that hurts!" Gordo said yanking the pillow from her grasp and rolling over so his back was to her.
Kate set her hands on her hips, "Dvid Gordon! Get your lazy butt out of this bed right now before I'm forced to take action!" she cried. "Oh what are you going to do? Give me a manicure? I'm so scared," Gordo said sarcastically.
"That's it," Kate said, and tilted the mattress away from her, sending Gordo rolling to the floor. "Ow! What was that for?" he asked rubbing his head. "For being a lazy bum," she replied lightly.
"Your mean," Gordo pouted. "Thank you," Kate said smiling, "Now you have two minutes to get ready." That said she walked out the door leaving Gordo sitting on the floor.
LIZZIE's POV
Lizzie sat in the Digital Bean, quietly sipping the smoothie that Cory had bought her only minutes ago. She knew she should be happy, I mean, she was on a date with the most popular guy in school. But she couldn't stop thinking about Gordo.
"Lizzie, are you okay? You look kinda upset," Cory said in a concerned voice. "I don't feel to good, I think I'm gonna go home," Lizzie said getting up, "thanks for everything, Cory."
"Wait, do you want me to drive you home?" he asked. "No, I'd rather walk," Lizzie said shaking her head.
GORDO's POV
"Kate, are you sure you even want to be in a public place with me? Isn't that risking your social status?" Gordo asked as they walked into the vast mall.
"After I get through with you, no one will be able to recognize you. Therefore, I have nothing to worry about," Kate said flipping her hair over her shoulder.
They walked in store after store, trying to find "Kate approved" clothes. After three hours, Kate finally found some outfits that Gordo looked "some what bearable" in.
Exhausted, they stopped for ice cream. "Tell me again why I had to get a whole new wardrobe?" Gordo asked licking his chocolate cone. "To make you irresistable to Miranda and Lizzie," Kate replied biting her strawberry cone.
"Shouldn't they be impressed with my brain instead of what I wear?" Gordo asked frowning. "Yeah, but hot clothes help a lot," she replied casually. Gordo just rolled his eyes.
A/N: Well, what do ya think? Sorry if it waz short, but I'm having a major block right now. Mel
