"I can't believe you like Janie Wilson." I said, walking home with Gordie. "She's way out of your league…no offence." I smiled at him.
"Shut up, Val. Just because you like Chris!" He said, covering his mouth after he said it.
"Gordie!" I screamed. He looked at me with such sorrow in his eyes.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" he said, and I glared at him.
"He can't know, Gordie. He just can't know. And that new girl moving in did not help at all! If he takes one look at her, he'll just forget about me."
"No he won't, Val. You don't understand the way Chris works. If he likes you, and it's very obvious that he does, then he won't give up until he gets you. That new girl means nothing." Gordie assured me. I rolled my eyes.
"He hasn't seen her yet. Once he sees her…he'll fall in love. I swear he will!" I cried out. We were finally at my house and the girl was sitting outside on her porch.
"Hi! I'm Carly, and I just moved here." She told me. I stared at her and I instantly knew things already. She was peppy, very outgoing, gorgeous with golden wheat hair and Caribbean aqua eyes, and she seemed very happy. Chris would love her.
"Hi." I said, without looking up. Gordie waved and we walked into his house.
We went into his room, and sat on his bed.
"I know you like Chris and you know I like Janie. But I sort of feel the same way as you. I think that once Janie realizes that she's popular and she could do much better than anything like me, she will ignore me even more. I know that Carly looks like she's a super model and what not, but you're beautiful, and if Chris doesn't see that, then…well that's his loss." Gordie told me and I sighed. I leaned over and looked out the window, and saw Chris outside smiling and talking to Carly. I looked up to the sky.
"Ugh…" I groaned, and looked over at Gordie. "Yup…his loss." Gordie went down and looked at them. They were sitting on the porch and Chris had his arm around her. Kill me.
