Chapter Nine
Larry's View of the Encounter
Larry Tudgeman cruised the mall looking for a present to get Gordo also when all of a sudden he hears screaming and name-calling. Picking up speed from the escalator, he found a little tree to hide himself and watched the mayhem erupt. At first people really didn't take notice of the situation because they thought it was none of their business, which it wasn't, but they couldn't get out of this one. Everywhere Larry turned he was surrounded with people gathering around the center of the food court. Surely, Larry thought, the way these rampages were going security guards would be called upon and take in the screaming victims. Ten minutes pass and no security guards showed up. Good, maybe I can sneak a peek of who is crying and who is winning. Larry crouched down under a table that was a few feet from them, and watched in amusement as these people fought. After about all the screaming and hollering he could take, Larry was about to leave until he heard a familiar name being called upon several times.
(Within earshot)
"Lizzie! You… you… you have the nerve coming over and telling Me off. I can't even believe what a hypocrite you are!"
Whoa, Miranda is telling Lizzie this. I never expected that coming out of her. He thought stunned. He heard Lizzie get a few words in edgewise. Well at least Miranda is winning. Lizzie looks like she is about to break down in tears. Again. God she is such a cry- baby. He thought shaking his head. Larry had heard enough ranting on Lizzie so he decided to crawl out from under the table; that was until he heard a familiar male's name. Gordo?
"What does this have to do with Gordo"? He asked himself.
"…Yeah. I do. I saw you two together outside the Digital Bean… You can't get much more "together" than that!" Wait, Lizzie and Gordo were…Kissing? And I thought Gordo was my friend. He knew that if he had a problem concerning any girl, he could come to me. I mean sure I was a little down every time she mentioned someone else's name… and I know I tried to get Gordo to be with Lizzie, but this. NOT TELLING ME. OH that is it! I have had it! Larry bawled up his fists. Gordo and Lizzie you guys are going down. I have to talk to Miranda. Maybe she will know what to do! Larry was so angry that he rushed out from under the table quickly. Too quickly he might add. Thunk.
"Ow, stupid table." He winced rubbing his head.
Luckily the bickering continued and he made his way through the crowd and outside the mall. He didn't know where he was going at that point, but one thing for sure is, he really needed Miranda.
