Chapter 3
Gordo's POV
I love it when she smiles like that; it brightens everything in the room. I took a deep breath and started to share my feelings about Lizzie. "Randa, you know how I feel about Lizzie right?" She nodded, "Well, in middle school it was just a crush but once we got into high school things started to change." I looked at Miranda's face and saw that she didn't really want to be hearing this; I hope I'm not hurting her feelings by tell her this. I turned to look at my hands as I continued, "Everyday I see Lizzie flirting and dating all these guys, who doesn't give a crap who she is and only goes with her to get laid…and hopefully failed." I looked into her face again, and she gave me a reassuring look that showed that she didn't. I sighed in relief, "Good"
"And…" Oh, I forgot what I was talking about for a second. "Oh, and I just got upset with that and didn't want to live like that anymore" She gave me a concerned look and said "You mean you didn't want to live being jealous all the time" Miranda isn't the smartest person in the world but she knew me like I know Egyptian burial techniques and I know a lot about Egyptian burial techniques. "Yup" She nodded in agreement and said, "That's it?" I nodded and said "Pretty much" I want to talk about you now Miranda, can't you see. "Well then tell me about now…the good part." She smiled when she said that, and that made me laugh. " Yeah, the good part."
Well here it goes, "Randa, once I got to your house, I felt better. I forgot all about Lizzie and could only think of you." She looked shocked, "Wh-Wh-Wha-What do you mean?" I don't know if she honestly didn't know what I meant or she just wanted me to say it completely. "Randa, I love you" I couldn't believe I said it, I was in love with Lizzie for like five years and I could never tell her but know I realized I loved Miranda and just tell her five seconds after I found out. She still didn't say anything, "Randa, are you okay?" She turned and stared deeply into my eyes and said "What about Lizzie?"
