Chapter 4
The next morning Drake is sitting down in the kitchen looking at the clock. Waiting for his sleeping daughter to wake up. She's going to be late for school if she doesn't wake up soon.
He sighs and sat up. "Guess I have to wake her up." He said.
He walked upstairs to her door and knocked on it. "Gos, time to wake up. You have school."
No answer. He rolled his eyes and grunted and tired again. "Gos, it's time to wake up!
Don't make me come in there!" He exclaimed.
Still no answer he finally marched in, her alarm was buzzing loud and she was out.
Drake had to cover up his eyes from the loud noise. "How can she sleep through this whole thing?" He asked himself.
He walked over to her bed and rolled her off. "WAKE UP!" He exclaimed.
She goes rolling off the bed. Her eyes widen and screamed. "Ahh!" She cried out.
She sat up and rubbed her head. "Dad? Why did you do that for?"
"Because daughter you're alarm is going off and you're going to be late for school."
"You could of shook me little and not toss me off the bed, like a normal dad."
Drake gave her little smirk. "I'm not a normal dad remember."
"Tell me about it."
"Well get up and dressed. You're going to be late for school." He said as he walking out the door.
Gosalyn stretched and yawned. She got up from the floor and walked over to her dresser, looked at her cell phone and thought about missing Honker's call and being with Damien instead.
'What was I thinking? I shouldn't have done that last night. I can't believe that happened.' She thought to herself.
She shook the thoughts out of her head and walked to her dresser; grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom.
Downstairs Drake is back in the kitchen.
"If she wasn't with that Damien kid. This wouldn't have happened." He said.
Gosalyn comes walking into the kitchen and sat down. "I hope that you had a good time last night Gos. Cause it wouldn't happen again."
"What? You never said that I couldn't hang out with him."
"Well I just didn't think that you spending all night with him. Is a good thing."
"DAD! I told you nothing happened last night! We came home, finished the grill and he wanted to show me something outside. We were joking around and the next thing I knew we must have fallen asleep. Cause you was standing right next to me. And he didn't touch me if that was you asking."
"I'm sorry Gos. But the answer is still no."
"This totally unfair dad!"
"I don't trust him Gos. And if you had respect for Honker, you would stay away from him."
"He's a nice guy dad. He just gets board."
"A nice guy wouldn't stay up with you all night. With out wanting something in between Gos. Believe me I know boys."
Gosalyn just ignored him and got up from her seat. "Yeah, what ever. Look, like you said I'm going to be late for school." She said.
She walked out of the kitchen and Drake just rolled his eyes at that.
Gosalyn arrived at school with Damien's coat in her hands. She walked in the school, walked over to her friends.
"Hey girls, have you seen Damien?" She asked.
"No not yet." Ally said.
Misty paused and looked at the jacket and gasped.
"Is it that Damien's jacket?"
"Yeah, that's why I asked you if you seen him. I need to give him back his jacket."
"And why do you have it anyways?"
"He gave it to me last night."
Her friends looked at each other and gasped. "GOSALYN!"
"What?"
"What do you mean what? Honker was waiting for you to come see him off yesterday.
While you was with Damien?"
"I know! Look, nothing happened. I'm just going to give him back his jacket." Gosalyn said.
She then spotted him walking into the hallway and she smiled.
"There he is. I'll see you in the first class." She said walking away.
"Do you believe any of that?"
"Uh huh. You?"
"Nope. She has it bad for Damien."
"Yup and it's only going to get uglier." Misty said.
She walked up to Damien at his locker.
"Hey D."
Damien looked up and smiled back. "Oh hey Gos."
"Um.. I got you're jacket."
He took the jacket from her.
"Thanks, I hope that I didn't get you in trouble last night."
"No, no. He was just shocked that's all. I was supposed to be with Honker last night before he went to college."
"Oh, sorry about that."
"It's okay."
They both stood there for a second until Ashley another girl walked up to Damien.
"Hey Damien."
Damien closed his locker and smiled back. "Hey Ashley."
"Are we still on for tonight?"
"Yup."
That took Gosalyn by surprise. 'Since when are they hanging out?' She asked.
Damien turned to Gosalyn.
"Hey, thanks for bringing my jacket back. You're a real good friend."
He said patting her on the back, him and Ashley walked away.
"Wow that was quick. Now I don't have anything to worry about. All I have to do is call Honk up. And everything will be cool." She said.
During lunch break Gosalyn is on her phone trying to reach Honker.
"Come on Honk. Pick up you're phone." She said.
When she keeps getting his voicemail, she slammed the phone down.
Ally and the girds walked up to her. "You okay?"
"Honker wouldn't pick up the phone."
"Well he might be in class right now."
"And he's probably still really hurt."
"Then I have to talk to him."
"How?"
"Yeah, school is still in session."
Gosalyn thought about it for a second and looked up at her friends. "It's an early dismissal right?"
"Yeah, but not for another hour."
"We just have study hall. Like anybody will miss me there."
"Gos, what are you thinking?"
"If he's not going to talk to me. Then I'll go talk to him. I was stupid enough to let this get out of control. I have to talk to him. So cover for me."
She grabs her stuff and headed out. Misty and the girls just watched her as she ran out of the school.
As she was running she bumped into Damien. "Whoa, easy Gos. What's the fire?" He asked.
"Sorry Damien, can't talk. I need to go see Honker." She said.
"YOU NOB! DON'T LET HER GET AWAY!" Negaduck exclaimed from his communicator.
"Don't worry father. I know just what to do." Damien said as he turned it off and took it off.
Negaduck is in his hideout groaning about this.
Gosalyn gets off the bus and walks into the campus. Her eyes widen and she gasped at the huge building. "This place is huge. I'm never going to find Honker." She said.
As she's walking around she spots Brittany along with Honker's other friend standing around the building. She ran over to them. "Guys! Hey." She said.
They all looked at her and rolled their eyes at her. "Oh hey."
"Have you guys seen Honker? I really need to talk to him."
"Why? So you can ditch him again?"
"Face it Gosalyn. He's over you his little girlfriend. He wants somebody more mature."
"WHAT? Like who?"
Brittany smiled and chuckled. "Like me. Infact all night he kept saying how much he likes me more then you."
"Honker, wouldn't say anything like that! You don't know him!"
"Oh, like you? You think he likes you hanging out with that one guy."
Gosalyn couldn't believe this. They don't know the first thing about what's going on.
"Whoa, first of all Brittany. That's not you're hair color. And second of all. You know Honker's only 17 right? And you're 19. Uh.. illegal. And third of all. You have no freaking idea. What's going on with me and Honker. So keep you're comments to you're self!"
"I know that he can't wait to get away from you. Infact the only reason he came back from college is for the surgery. Which you left him alone."
Now she's had enough. "You know what why don't all of you jerky college kids. Just bite me! I don't know what Honker has ever seen you guys."
She took off and bumped into Honker. "Gos? Why are you here? What's wrong?" Honker asked.
"Like you care! Go ask you're friends." She said as she stormed off.
Honker watched as she ran off, looked back at his so called friends. He didn't know what to think.
Gosalyn arrives at the pizza King and spots her friends. "Gos, how did it go?" Misty asked.
She started to cry and sniffed. "I think I'm losing Honker."
"What?" Her friends said.
"I bumped into his friends. And they said that he doesn't want to be with me anymore."
"Did you hear him say that?"
"No."
"Then don't believe it. Until you hear it from him."
"I guess."
Minutes later she walks into the house and saw Drake standing there looking really ticked off. With his arms crossed the whole works. She just knew that it wasn't going to be good.
She smiled at him. "Hey pops. What's up?" She asked.
"Oh gee, let me think here. I got a call from you're principal today. Any idea why?"
"No, I didn't get any trouble today."
"You skipped class today."
"Oh that."
"Is that all you got to say? Is oh that? What were you thinking?!"
"I had…"
"You didn't have to do anything! All you had to do is go to study hall."
"It was just study hall dad. What's the big deal?!"
"What's the big deal?! The big deal is that you were supposed to go to school! I'm responsible for you! Do you know that I would go to jail if you skip school?"
"Dad, you're over reacting."
"Over reacting?! Over reacting! You want to see over reacting? You're grounded for a month!"
Gosalyn gasped. "Grounded?! For how long?!"
"I don't know. But starting tomorrow. You're grounded."
"Why starting tomorrow?"
"We're having company over tonight for a bbq. The new grill that you and Damien put up together. So today is you're last day off freedom for a while."
"Fine! That's fine with me! My life already sucks as it is." She said.
She storms out and slams the door. Drake rolled his eyes and shook his head with disgust at his daughter.
Outside she's shooting hoops and complaining about everything.
"Stupid dad! Stupid Honker! Everything is so stupid around here. Can't do anything right." She said.
Her ball rolled away and stopped by somebody's foot. Damien bends down and picked it up. "Hey, you dropped something."
Gosalyn looked back and looked at him confused. "Damien? What are you doing here? I thought that you had a date tonight."
"Yeah, I did. But I canceled it."
"Why did you do that?"
"You was so upset at school today. I had to see if you was okay."
Gosalyn was touched that he did that for her. "Aww, you didn't have to do that Damien. I'm fine. You didn't have to cancel you're plans for me."
"Misty and the others told me what Honker's friends said to you."
"Oh, they did?"
"Yeah and if you ask me. They'll bunch of nobs if you ask me." He laughed.,
Gosalyn looked at him strange. She's never heard anybody but NegaDuck say that before.
"What did you say?" She asked.
Before Damien could respond Gosalyn spotted Honker's car pulling into the drive way and gasped.
"Honker's here! Bye Damien!" She exclaimed
She took off running to his car.
"Don't let her get back together with him!" Negaduck exclaimed from the communicator.
Damien just stood there and watched Gosalyn and Honker.
Honker got out of his car and Gosalyn hugged him. "Honk, I am so sorry about last night. It will never again."
Honker smiled and hugged her back. "It's okay Gosalyn. I over reacted. My friends told me what they said to you. And I am so sorry. I didn't say anything like that."
"I know. I shouldn't believe them."
They kissed and Gosalyn grabbed his hand. "Come on, let's go inside. My dad's having a bbq."
"Ah, one of the Mallards famous bbq's. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
They walked inside the house and closed the door behind.
Minutes later..
They'll sitting down at the table and watching Drake on the grill. Morgana and Binki are talking to each other. Gosalyn grabbed her plate and headed to the grill. "Hey dad."
"Hey Gos. I see that Honkers here."
"Yup. Everything is back to normal. Me being grounded, things are good with Honker. Damien is out doing who knows what. Life is great."
"That's good. You're still grounded."
"Yeah, I know. So hand over the hamburgers pops. I'm starving." She said.
Drake laughed and handed her one. "Thanks pops."
She walked back to the table and sat back down next to Honker.
"Ah, just they way I like it." She said looking at her burger.
"Just a little burned on the corners." Honker said.
Gosalyn looked at him shocked.
"You told me that it's how you're grandpa would always burn the corners on the hamburgers."
"You remember that?" She asked shocked.
Honker laughed. "I remember everything that you tell me Gos."
She was amazed that he had remembered that. She had totally forgotten about Damien and last night. This was just right.
"Oh Honk, we make a good team don't we?" She asked.
"The damn best." Honker said.
They kissed and Honker saw the band aid on her finger that Damien had put on her.
"Whoa, what happened to you?" He asked.
Gosalyn smiled and shrugged. "Nothing for you to worry about it. I'm going to get something more to drink. You want anything?"
"Yeah sure. Thanks."
"No problem."
"Love ya."
"Love ya too."
They kissed and she got up and headed inside to the fridge. She grabbed 2 cans of pop, closed the door. She stopped for a second and looked at the band aide. Thought back to Damien and last night.
Drake walks in and sees Gosalyn just standing there. "Gos?" He asked.
Gosalyn quickly shook the thoughts out of her head. "Yeah?"
"You okay?"
"Totally. I just came here for a couple of soda's."
She picks up the cans and walks back. Drake just watched and looked up at the ceiling.
"This isn't going to be pretty." He thought.
Negaduck is laughing evilly.
