Lizzie, Miranda, Gordo, Ethan are walking down the school hallway and talking. Ethan is talking with Gordo. "Hey can I ask you something?" Ethan asked Gordo. "Yeah sure go ahead," Gordo said. "Does Miranda have a boyfriend? Does she like anybody?" Ethan asked Him. "No, Why do you like her?" Gordo asked him, Ethan blushed. "Yeah" He said quietly. "Why don't you ask her out?" Gordo asked him. "I can't" Ethan said. "Since when are you shy?" Gordo asked him, Ethan didn't answer. "I see, just ask her Ethan" Gordo said. "What if she'll say no?" Ethan said. "You don't know that unless you ask her out" Gordo said, 'Now go and ask her" Gordo said. "Ok" Ethan said. He came up to Miranda and Lizzie and heard them giggling. "Miranda?" Ethan said. "Yes?" Miranda said. "Can I ask you something?" he asked her. "Sure what is it?" she asked Ethan. "Will you go out with me?" He asked Miranda. "I 'd love to Ethan!" Miranda said happily and took his arm they walked arm in arm talking, Lizzie saw Gordo by himself kind of sad, she came up to him. "Hey what's up?" Lizzie asked him. "Nothing much" he said sadly. Gordo looked at Lizzie she was wearing navy blue shorts and a white t-shirt that said "Love" on it and her hair was in ponytail, Gordo liked Lizzie ever since 7th grade. "Gordo?" Lizzie said. "Oh sorry" he said. "Is anything wrong?" she asked him. "What makes you think that something is wrong?" Gordo asked looking at the ground. "Well first of all because you are not looking at me you are looking at the ground and second you look sad" Lizzie told him. Gordo thought for a second thinking if he should tell her or not. "Gordo?" Lizzie said again. "What?" he asked her. "Please tell what's wrong" Lizzie told him. "You want to know what's wrong?" he asked her. 'Yes" she said. "Fine I'll tell you!" He screamed. " My parents don't care about they don't probably know that I exist! They don't talk to me they totally ignore me! There happy?" Gordo said as tears were streaming down his face. Ethan and Miranda turned to see what's going on and they saw Gordo crying. "I'm sorry Gordo I didn't know! I am really sorry!" Lizzie said hugging him. Gordo cried in her arms. Ethan and Miranda came up to them "Lizzie what's wrong with him?" Ethan asked her. "His parents don't that he exist! They ignore him!" Lizzie said. "Oh my god!" Ethan and Miranda said at once. "Why would parents ignore their own child?" Ethan asked. "I really don't know Ethan, I wish I did but I don't!"Lizzie said still hugging Gordo. "Do you think Gordo will be ok?" Ethan asked. "I hope so!" Lizzie said. Gordo pulled away from Lizzie and looked at 3 of them. " All of you are lucky!" Gordo said. "Why's that?" all of them said at once. "Well because your parents talk to you and don't ignore you! And my parents said I love you only once but that was a long time ago!" Gordo said with tears and went into the restroom, Ethan went after him. "I hope he'll be okay" Miranda told Lizzie "Yeah me too!" Lizzie said. '" I can't see him so miserable" Lizzie said. "Yeah no wonder he's sad!" Miranda said. Kate comes up to them with Danny "Hey guys what's up?" She asks them, "Nothing much" they said, "Well see you later!" she says and leaves with her boyfriend. Meanwhile in restroom Ethan is talking with Gordo. "Hey man are you sure you are ok?" Ethan asks Gordo. "I'm fine Ethan" Gordo said. "Are you sure?" Ethan asks him. "Yes" Gordo says and heads out of restroom.

That day when Lizzie gets home "Hi mom!" she said as she passes her. "Hey honey! How was school?" Jo asks her. '"Ok" Lizzie said. She goes upstairs to her room and starts doing her homework. Meanwhile in Gordo's house he is doing his homework when he hears his parents argue. "Not again!" Gordo said closing his ears. He didn't tell Lizzie the other parts that his parents have been arguing allot lately and that his dad was alcoholic. "Are you drunk again Steve?" he hears his mom ask his dad. "Please make them stop!" Gordo said to himself. Gordo comes downstairs to get a drink and sees his dad hitting his mom "Mom!" Gordo said. "David." his mom begins. This was the first time his dad hit anyone. His dad comes up to Gordo and starts hitting him too. "Steve please don't hit him!" Amanda said. "Shut up!" he said. Gordo backs away from his dad in horror and runs upstairs in his room. He lies on his bed and begins crying softly. That night Gordo is having a nightmare about his dad "No please don't hurt me! He wakes up screaming. "It was just a dream!" He said. Gordo is scared to go back to sleep, but he finally falls back asleep at 3:00a.m. Next day a he hears somebody screaming 'David get up!" he wakes up and sees his dad he gets up guikly. He wears a Blue bill bond long sleeved t-shirt because he has bruises on his arms and legs and Brown pants, he brushes his teeth his hair, takes his navy blue backpack and heads downstairs. He meets Lizzie in school, "Hey where's Miranda and Ethan?" He asks her. "I don't know," she said. "So how are you?" She asks him. "I'm fine thanks!" he said. "You don't look so good!" Lizzie said. "I didn't sleep good last night," he said. "Why not?" Lizzie asked him. "I couldn't fall asleep" he lied. "Do you want go to Digital Bean today after school?" he asked her. "Sure I'll just have to ask my mom" Lizzie said, she took her cell phone and called them. After a while she hung up, "They said it's ok" Lizzie told him. "Great" he said. Bell rang "I wonder where Ethan and Miranda are?" Gordo said. "Maybe they are sick" Lizzie said. "Yeah probably!" Gordo said and came in classroom with Lizzie. In class Gordo and Lizzie were talking and giggling "Mrs. McGuire and Mr. Gordon!" The teacher said. "Sorry Mr. Jackson!" They said and stopped talking. "Ok class we are going to do a project" Mr. Jackson said, Class groaned. "It's probably stupid again, " Kate whispered to Lizzie, she laughed. Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. McGuire is there a problem?"

He asked her, Lizzie blushes, "Sorry I was thinking about something!" Lizzie said. "It's ok," He said. "I'll be right back, " He said. "Ok" Lizzie said. Gordo went into the restroom thinking he should tell Lizzie about his parents arguing allots and that his dad is an Alcoholic. "She been my best friend for 15 years" he said to himself. But he couldn't tell her he was scared if he told her, his dad would found out and hit him again! He looked at his bruises and tears appeared in his eyes he wiped it away.

"Sure" Lizzie said. "Are you ok?" he asked her. "Yeah I am just mad," she told him. 'At who?" he asked her. "Gordo" "why?" Matt asked his sister.
