CHAPTER 1- Everyone Knows

"When you gonna ask Lizzie to the first High School dance, Gordo?" Ethan Craft questioned as I walked down the hall with him. "Never, we're just friends." I replied.

"Come on, you know no one buys that 'just friends' act." Ethan retorted, rolling his eyes dramatically.

"Look, she kissed me twice, not a billion times, and we never talked about it again, so, it's done, nothing happened, zip. DONE!" I didn't realize I had shouted that last word. Oops.

"Tense, much?" Lizzie asked, coming up behind me, "What's… 'DONE!'?" She asked, blowing at a strand of her blond hair.

"My history report." I said. Ethan snorted. Lizzie looked at him quickly, but then looked back at me, "Whatever you say, Gordo. Hey I wanted to talk to you about that Science report later, kay? I'll see you… fourth period. Then we have Lunch, fifth, so I can talk to you more, then." Lizzie stood in thought for a sec, but then started jogging to her next class.

I sighed, what was I gonna do? Lizzie kissed me twice, and then we never talked about it again. What was that all about? I'm not gonna attempt to understand the female mind, but do they deliberately make it confusing??

At Lunch…

"I miss Miranda so much, I mean, I could talk to her about ANYTHING." Lizzie pouted. "Thanks a lot," I said, frowning. "You know what I mean, girl stuff, that would make you puke." She retorted, with a slight annoyed tone.

Ethan came up, giving me that "you two are eating lunch together… AGAIN?" look. I shook my head. "Hey, Ethan." Lizzie said, smiling. A slight tinge of jealously flared up, but I beat it down, easily course, cuz I don't like Lizzie THAT way.

Plus she forgot about Ethan over the summer, he's steady dating Kate, because they got close over the summer.

"Hey Liz, so, Kate and I broke up, so I was wondering if you and Gordo would wanna come to a party at my house this weekend? It'll be off the hook!" He was practically bouncing with excitement.

"No drinking right?" She asked, nervously. "Nah, we're not that 'off the hook'," he grinned, "plus my family's not into that, neither am I, and plus my parents are gonna be home." Lizzie smiled, "cool, Gordo, are you gonna come?"

"Sure." I said, parties are always fun, even though, I'm not exactly a PARTY (!!!) kind of guy.

Lizzie walked over to see a friend, then, and Ethan leaned over and hissed, "Everyone knows, Gordon."

Everyone knows…

Darn.
