A/N: Light, fluffy, predictable, and sickeningly sweet. Usually I wouldn't let anyone see this kind of work from me, but I wanted to post a short little something before I start posting my bigger story. This is gonna be another short one, 3-5 chapters at most, but it's only to pass the time until I get a few chapters done on my next one. I've got a much longer story on the brain, but I don't wanna start posting it until I have enough to last me in case I get blocked. Anyway, Gordo's completely oblivious and not so smart in this one and no one is anyone help. Hope you enjoy : )
One more thing: Thank you to EVERYONE who reviewed on my last story. Y'all are so nice; I really loved everything you said. I'm sorry to those of you who had a hard time with Ch. 5 of 'Wait It Out' but I'm not going to change the chapter any. And to LizD - yeah I'm kinda working on that with my writing, the whole past tense/present test thing. Thanks for being so kind about your criticism though, I really appreciate that : ) Never be afraid to offer any kind of advice or constructive criticism, I'm always looking to learn more about writing.
Disclaimer: Lizzie and characters belong to Disney. The plot is pretty much all me : )
'-': Thoughts, stressed words, flashbacks, etc. (Anyone wanna teach me how to get Italics to work here?)
--- Ch. 1 - Miranda
"Ok, what the hell is going on with Lizzie?" Miranda looked up from her homework, which she wasn't really doing, but was pretending to do since it was the reason Gordo had asked her over in the first place, and shrugged.
"What do you mean?" Gordo heaved a sigh and sat down across from Miranda at his kitchen table, shaking his head and explaining the strange actions of his friend as Miranda tapped her pencil on her History book.
"I dunno, it's just. She's been acting all weird lately. Like. I dunno, she's all hot and cold, ya know?" Gordo looked Miranda helplessly and rolled his eyes when Miranda paused her tapping and gave him a 'huh?' look.
"Well it's like, one minute she's the normal fun and crazy Lizzie we all know and love. And she's hugging me, and tickling me, and what not and then BAM, she's suddenly all pissed at me. Like, just this morning at school, we were walking to first period together, and she had her arm looped through mine, which is completely normal, right?" Miranda rolled her eyes, wondering idly where all this was headed.
"Not at all Gordo, I have no idea what you're talking about because I don't spend everyday with you guys and know the two of you and your antics like the back of my hand." She deadpanned, with a teasing smirk. Gordo rolled his eyes in return and sighed impatiently.
"Brat. Anyway, we're having a good time and everything's fine then all of a sudden out of nowhere Lizzie is pissed, and she jerks away from me and ignores me all through the entire period, she didn't even -glance- at me! I'm was completely lost, so I tried to talk to her and she just tells me, without a glance my way mind you, 'shut up, we're in class'. What the hell is that, Miranda?" He sounded pathetic, but didn't care as he tossed another helpless look in Miranda's direction. Miranda stopped her tapping and gave her full attention to Gordo, sensing her friends distress.
"Well let's see, have you done anything to her that would make her mad at you?" Gordo took a moment to reflect before confidently shaking his head no.
"Is there something that you maybe told someone about her that wouldn't make her happy and she maybe overheard? Or was told?" Another confident shake of the head, no.
"Well then I don't know. Maybe she's still all messed up from her and Ronnie breaking up." Miranda finished, throwing her hands into the air in frustration.
"But Miranda! That was like -last- month, and she's said time and time again that's over that! And I know damn well when Lizzie is lying so I'd know if she were lying about that. Come on Miranda, you always know how to fix things, help me fix this! What's going on with her?" Gordo begged, obviously very torn up by his best friend's actions. Miranda watched with sympathy as Gordo dropped his head to his folded arms on the tabletop and whimpered frustratingly.
"I'm trying to help Gordo. Ok, let's go over the facts. You say she's acting very hot and cold with you. One minute you guys are friends, the next she's pissed. Well...maybe she's on drugs! You remember that whole 'bad girl' thing she had goin' on, maybe it had a bigger effect on her than we thought!" Miranda joked, trying to make light of the situation, or at least gather a small smile from Gordo. But her efforts were futile, and she was only met with another whimper as Gordo began to hit his head against the table.
"Not funny." He groaned as his head fell to the table with a final 'thump'. Miranda was silent for a long time, going over things in her head. She could clearly see that Gordo was very, very distraught over Lizzie's actions and she felt bad about not taking the situation a little more seriously. Aside from Lizzie, Gordo was her best friend in the universe, and seeing him upset wasn't one of her favorite sites. As she thought about her two friends, and what might be wrong, a light suddenly flashed through her mind and she had it. She knew what was wrong.
"Sorry. You know what? I think I know what's going on with her." Miranda announced, a knowing grin spreading across her face. Gordo's head shot up and he looked at Miranda with pleading eyes.
"Well? What is it? Why does she hate me?" He begged. Miranda laughed and shook her head.
"She doesn't hate you Gordo, she likes you." She watched as Gordo's face wrinkled in confusion.
"What? Duh Miranda, I know she likes me we've been best friends for years. But why is she so pissed at me?" Gordo questioned, not understanding. Again, Miranda shook her head, the knowing grin widening into a full fledge smile.
"Not like that, Gordo."
A/N: So I know all of you probably already know where this is going, but doesn't it just make your heart go pitter-patter when you think of poor, pathetic Gordo all confused like that? LOL, or maybe that's just me. Anyway, R/R away! I love hearing what you have to say!
