An Ordinary Day in the Park By: TasChiBandGirl
Chapter 1: Conversation with the Class Dork
The two boys sat quietly together by the bench. The first boy was a tall black haired boy named Larry Tudgeman. The second was David Gordon, whom was affectionately called Gordo. The two had never really been good friends. In junior high, they had the same attitude towards the life of the so-called 'populars', but they never bonded. Larry had his own occupations, and Gordo had his two best friends, Miranda Sanchez and Lizzie McGuire. The person of discussion between the two boys was the latter. Lizzie was Gordo's best friend since they could even remember. They had stuck together, through thick and thin. In elementary school, they met Miranda and they were known as the Three Musketeers. To this day, their friendship still stands, but for today, Gordo had wandered alone. Lizzie and Miranda were to busy enthralled in their 'girl talk'. Usually it used to be about how hot Ethan Craft was, but to think of it, Gordo hasn't heard his name come up in conversation, ever since the end of 10th grade. Larry and Gordo had accidentally ran into each other at the park. Larry was walking by, when Gordo began to talk to himself.
"Come on, Gordo! You can get through another year without saying anything to her! Just another year! You've already gone four, so why not five?" said Gordo to himself
"Because, it's bad for your heart." said Larry to him as he heard him
"How much of that did you hear?" asked Gordo petrified
"Enough to question, this girl. Actually, I know. It's quite obvious, you know" said Larry "So, David, when did this all begin?"
"Well, there were the little things at first, like the days when she'd just help me out and make me feel better about life. Also the only time I actually dated a girl, and we broke up. Then, the day I realized came" Gordo began to tell the story
It was a sunny day about three years ago. Lizzie had just bagged her first boyfriend, a boy named Ronny Jacobs. He seemed like a nice guy, but for some reason, Gordo just couldn't get himself to like him. He began to talk to Miranda bout Ronny, and Miranda accused him for being jealous. Gordo was quick to deny, and really thought nothing of jealousy. After that accusation, Gordo began to think, whether he was actually hiding any emotions of love towards Lizzie. That questioning found its answer a couple of days later.
"I remember looking in my room and finding a CD of Lizzie's. Remember, that this was back when Aaron Carter was actually hip" Gordo said "Well, anyways, here I am walking down that street and to my dismay, I see the worst thing. Yet, the best thing at the same time. I see two blonde heads leaned together for a kiss. Do you want to know who they were? Lizzie and Ronny."
"Ouch" said Larry "That must've hurt"
"Indeed, it did. But it cleared up a lot of confusion though. My heart was torn in pieces but I knew, then and there, that I was in love with Lizzie McGuire" said Gordo
"So you've kept that hidden for that long?!" asked Larry
"Well, sort of" Gordo replied. "There were times when I came really close to spilling the beans. One was shortly after Lizzie broke up with Ronny.."
Lizzie sat in the library, cold and brokenhearted. Gordo had noticed that she wasn't in lunch. He decided to see what was up. Secretly, he did hope Ronny broke it off with Lizzie, so Gordo could have a chance, but it ended up happening. Lizzie told him that Ronny left her for someone else. Lizzie still remembered the words Ronny said to her.
"There's this girl.and she's been there the whole time.." Ronny said honestly
Gordo listened to his friend and gave in his two cents. He said that Ronny didn't see a good thing when he saw it, and accidentally included himself in a little complimentary thing. He was about to say something to her but, then he realized, she really didn't need to hear it now. She was too hurt, and also, Miranda was coming around the bend.
"I knew it! I knew it!" Larry said "You know I was there right?"
"You were?" said Gordo surprised
"Yep. I heard her crying. I didn't react or anything, because, well she was kind of afraid of me, since I somewhat forced her on a date. I feel bad about that, but I did like her then. She is truly a nice girl.but I like Miranda better" Larry smiled
"I thought so" said Gordo "And then there was Frankie."
"Frankie?" asked Larry
"You remember, Frankie Muniz, he asked out Lizzie.which seemed so damn surreal. I mean he was about near 17 and she was 14. That's like..wrong. I urged her to not follow through, while Miranda encouraged her. Unfortunately, she listened to Miranda's advice, which left her with Frankie.but they ended up breaking up because of the paparazzi..God Bless the Paparazzi! Actually.I really shouldn't say that" Gordo said
"I understand." Larry added "But I mean four years IS a long time. I think somebody should have a talk with someone else"
"Well, that's if she ever likes me" Gordo said
"Who said she doesn't?" Larry said smartly
"What do you mean?" Gordo asked
"Well, call me crazy, but I think she likes you too" Larry said
"You, Larry, are definitely crazy!" Gordo said back "I used to think, maybe just maybe, her crush on me from 4th grade was still harboring in her heart somewhere, but that's just hoping for a false dream. There was that one time when Ethan turned her down for the Sadie Hawkins Dance and her and I slow danced on her back porch. Miranda slow danced with Matt.but I know it was only as friends."
"Well, my opinion is that she does" said Larry "Don't you ever notice the way she's been acting towards you lately? She's been a little more flirty than usual..She hasn't had a boyfriend since that horrific experiment called Owen"
"Oh yeah, that asshole. I showed him where his place was" Gordo said coldly
"Wait..you were the one who kicked his ass?" Larry said surprised
It was now 10th grade and Lizzie had a new boyfriend. His name was Owen. Owen had the preppy look to him. He looked like one of those models from the Abercrombie and Fitch catalogues. Gordo sensed something about him that was wrong. He didn't say anything to Lizzie, because he never really thought of it. It lasted very well for about a couple of months. Then, one night, Gordo was in the park, with Lizzie and Miranda.
"So, why aren't you out with Owen?" asked Gordo
"He had to go visit his sick aunt. Poor aunt" said Lizzie
"Oh well, you could at least hang out with us" Miranda said joyfully "How did you get such a babe as a boyfriend?"
"I'm not sure..I guess I just got lucky" said Lizzie
The two girls got more into 'girl-talk mode' which was usually Gordo's cue to leave for a few minutes. It became sort of routine after 9th grade. When Lizzie and Miranda would be chit-chatting about the hot guys, Gordo would leave for a few minutes and wait until they were at least winding down. Tonight, Gordo was walking around the park. He decided to go down to the lake, to get some of his anger out.
"So I went down to the lake, and it was nice and peaceful, then I overhear Owen and some chick talking" said Gordo "I'll never forget what they said"
"What did they say?" asked Larry
"Hey, baby, how about some lip?" said Owen as Gordo listened
"I asked you once, and I asked you again, when are you going to lose that McGuire chick? I'd like to know!" the girl said
"Don't worry. What she doesn't know won't kill her" he said
Gordo listened in disbelief hearing what he had just heard. He moved into the bushes, where he witnessed his second ever, big kissing scene. This time, it was between Lizzie's boyfriend and the broad he was cheating on her with. Gordo became so enraged. He clenched his fists and knew he had to set the record straight. He emerged from the bushes, completely scaring the shit out of Owen and his girl. As he composed himself, he stood up and faced Owen.
"So, I guess this is your sick aunt.I was right all along then," said Gordo coldly "You are a two-timing asshole!"
"Hey, what the fuck are you spying on me for?" asked Owen defensively
"Actually, I was just at the lake, trying to think things through. You see, there's actually people who would love to be loved by Lizzie, I guess apparently, you don't care! You just want sex, sex, and more sex!" yelled Gordo "And you know what?! Since you want to be with THIS broad over here, I guess you should tell Lizzie you're cheating on her! You know why?! Because she's here right now. She's over by the merry-go-round!"
"You're not going to say anything about it, David!" said Owen "You're going to keep your little trap shut, Got it?"
"No I don't!" said Gordo
"Are you threatening me?" said Owen "Because I can take you out right here, right now! Your little friend will believe me, her BOYFRIEND. But are you her BOYFRIEND?! NO!! You're just a FRIEND."
"Sure, I may be just a friend but I love her! Okay, I LOVE HER!!" said Gordo passionately "I won't let you hurt her in anyway. Not just as an admirer, but as a friend! Nobody's friends should put up with this bullshit!"
"So, you're going to take on me?!" threatened Owen "I can wipe the fucking street with you"
"Bring it on, Pretty boy!" said Gordo getting into a fighter pose
The two were now dueling it out against one another. Each first threw a couple of punches, which missed, but then Owen made contact with Gordo's nose. Blood began to spurt out, but that didn't bother him at all. After falling over, he just got up and tried to fight again. After that first punch, the match was all Gordo. Becoming even more enraged, he began to throw punches like mad. Each punch came in contact with every body part in Owen's body. Finally, after bloodying up Owen's face, he finished it off with a kick in the groin. Since Gordo was wearing boots today, it was five times more painful than with sneakers.
"And that was when Owen fell to the ground. So, yeah I kicked Owen's ass" said Gordo "But nobody knows about it but me, you, obviously Owen, and his girl"
"Why? Did you ever find out who the broad was?" asked Larry
"Well, how would the rest of the student body treat you when you say you got your ass kicked by the class hermit and you're Mister Abercrombie? Also, I never found out who the broad was. I swore it sounded like Kate but it just couldn't be." replied Gordo
"Good point" said Larry "So any other stories?"
"Nope, because she had no boyfriend in Junior Year. She and I and Miranda all went to Prom together. I did slow dance with her to one song, but I also slow danced with Miranda..Now for Senior Prom..who knows." said Gordo "And now, it's Senior Year"
"Exactly. Hey, just wondering, did you and Miranda ever try to date" asked Larry
"One date. That was it. We didn't go anywhere, if you're wondering. We realized from the first hour, we weren't meant to be. Besides she knew I liked Lizzie but we decided to give it a chance..but we just didn't go well.I guess you could say we're too alike" said Gordo "So, right now, she's free game..for now"
"That's good to know" Larry said "Do you think she may like me?"
"Sure, there's no impossibility like in Junior High." said Gordo "You've changed a lot. Sure, you're a bit geeky, but I'm geeky too. Actually, we all are geeky deep down.don't be so hard on yourself. You never know"
"Wow, I can't believe you actually kicked Owen's ass for Lizzie's sake..that's such a...wow..just..that's love right there!" said Larry thinking "Take my advice, Gordo, don't wait another year, you may be passing a chance of a lifetime. You got to live while you can!"
"Yeah, but she's my best friend!" said Gordo "I may ruin the friendship! What if we're not the same?! What if she doesn't like me back?! Oyy, this is making me go crazy!"
"Calm down," Larry said "Sometimes, you have to cross the line. Sure, there's something at stake, like a friendship, but I you really feel like this, you have to let her know. If she doesn't feel the same way, she'll understand. If she does, then it's good. Now about your fear of it going wrong, don't worry so much. Maybe it will go alright.it all depends on the kind of friends you are.if things go wrong, try to at least stay friends. My cousin Willy dated his friend Kayla, and he learned the hard way about that. They hardly ever talk to each other anymore"
"But what if that's me and Lizzie? We've been friends since we were in diapers!" said Gordo
"I haven't finished my story yet" said Larry calmly "You see the reason Willy and Kayla didn't really work out was because they were too alike. You see, you need to be able to complement each other very well. I know you and Lizzie complement each other very well. You're not exactly opposites but you're opposite enough to get together. Now Willy and Kayla was like you and Miranda. So, if you hadn't of realized it then, your friendship would've been toast. They didn't realize it and now they never talk.though I wish they did. So, I do think you should go for it!"
"Well thanks for the advice, Larry" said Gordo "I'm just afraid that she'll take it the wrong way."
"No problem" said Larry
There sat Gordo and Larry by the park, until the call of a familiar girl came into the earshot of Gordo. He looked to the side and then realized that it was Lizzie, his best friend. She was waiting by the neighboring tree.
"Hey, Larry, I've got to go" said Gordo "I think it's time she should know"
"Good luck, David" said Larry calling him by his real name
"Thanks Tudgeman, I'll see you in school" said Gordo
"Bye" said Larry as Gordo walked off
Gordo walked up to Lizzie, whom was standing there, with a look of sincerity in her eyes. He approached her, and she just stood there for a few minutes. They just stood there in complete silence. When Gordo was about to say something, Lizzie went on and said something.
"Gordo, I have to talk to you for a minute" said Lizzie
