The Best Friend...No the Other One

Chapter 17

Gordo's POV

I woke up with her in my arms and it was the most wonderful thing in the world. I turn to look at the clock on the wall and it said 7:00 AM.

"Randa..." I gently nudged her.

"Nooo...I don't want to go to school ma" I laughed under my breath as I continued to nudge her. "WHAT!...oh, morning Gordo..hehe..." That is when I couldn't hold it in anymore, I started to laugh as if there was no tomorow. She shot me a 'angry yet trying to hold in her own laughter' look and pushed me off the couch but since I was holding her, she fell with me.

We just started laughing and then I started to tickle her. "No...stop...me no like tickle" she said as she gave me the puppy dog pout.

"Aw, Miranda no like tickle" I said as she nodded her head. "Fine but Miranda needs to get ready for school"

"Oh God, I forgot. What time is it?" she said in a very panicked voice.

"7:10" and with that she jumped up from the floor and started pacing.

"I don't have any clean clothes, I can't just wear these because they smell because of the rain..." I just stared at her, smiling. "...and what are you so happy about?"

"Nothing..." I said throwing my hands in the air, "...you can borrow one of my shirts if you want and the jeans don't matter 'cause they all basically look the same anyway."

She smiled and ran up to my room to get a shirt, "Get one for me too when your up there" I shouted.

At School: English Class

Miranda and I walked into English together and we were welcomed with dirty looks and stares. The sitting arrangement was different today and everyone was in groups of three. Each group was sat at a table and the groups were posted on the bulletin board on the front of the room. I looked and my group was, of course, Lizzie, Miranda, and I.

We sat at a table in the back corner of the room. Lizzie sat on one side of me and Miranda sat on the other.

"So, what's up guys? I tried to call you, last night"

Miranda looked at me and we exchanged looks.

"Oh my battery died last night."

We have decided last night that we won't tell Lizzie about us.

"Gordo, can I talk to you after class?"

She looked nervous and I have no clue why. I open my mouth to answer but something stopped me. Miranda's hand traveling up my thigh to be exact. Lizzie gave me a weird look but at this point I was just trying to steady my breathing.

"Uh, ok…"

And with that Lizzie turned to pay attention to whatever the teacher was saying. I grabbed her hand right before the got to…uh…little man and I looked up to her. She just gave me an innocent puppy dog look. She pulled her hand out of my grip and continued her path. She reached her destination and started to…um…party.

The teacher was talking about a project but I didn't hear a thing he said. My grip tightened on the pencil I was holding and Miranda took that as a cue to have more fun. We were having so much fun that it causes me to snap my pencil in half. Lizzie snaps her head around and gives me a weird look.

"Gordo, what's wrong with you?"

I'm afraid to open my mouth because I am not sure if words would come out or a moan. I just shake my head and she wouldn't let it go.

"Gordo?"

I reluctantly, grab Miranda's hand and catch my breath for a second.

"I'm fine…"

Then it happens…the release. I raise my hand.

"Um…can I go to the bathroom?"
