Chapter 3. Too Bad

17-year-old Ethan Craft pushed gently his girlfriend Lizzie McGuire (16) against some lockers. She threw her arms around his neck as he started kissing hers slowly, causing her to giggle.

"Stop it! You know I'm-," she started, while he placed his hands around her tiny waist.

"You're what?" he asked her, knowing exactly what she meant. She bit her lip and shook her head. "Very... ticklish?" Another fit of giggles followed as he began playing with her most ticklish places.

"Seriously, stop!" she exclaimed, smiling at him. He kissed her soft pink lips and brushed her golden locks lovingly. He loved every single part of her. Their lips met briefly for another short kiss and she turned to open her locker. "So... where are we going tonight? I've still got to pick an outfit" Her hazel eyes met his through her small mirror and he smiled. She tapped her fingers on her lap nervously and he grabbed her hand, kissing it.

"Don't worry about it. You'll look amazing with anything you'd wear," he assured her. Their fingers intertwined slowly and they heard a fake cough behind them. They both turned around to greet David 'Gordo' Gordon (17). He was still one of Lizzie's best friends, although he was clearly interested in pursuing another type of relationship with her.

"Sorry to interrupt your lover's lane, but we've got a student council meeting," Gordo announced. He was the president of their class, while Lizzie was the secretary treasurer. She frowned and ran her hand through her hair.

"What about?" Lizzie asked. Gordo shrugged.

"Apparently, about the gift we're going to give to the Senior Class. I'm not so sure anymore," he stated. She sighed lowly and let go off Ethan's hand.

"I'll meet you later, baby," Ethan whispered in her ear, placing a kiss on her cheek. She nodded slowly and followed Gordo to another room, while Ethan shut her locker door frowning. He didn't like the idea of them together again at all.

"Kylie! Lunch time!" Ethan called the next morning. The teen rubbed her eyes slowly and looked around. She had obviously fallen asleep while reading through some diaries. She got up and headed towards the kitchen, holding the book. "Oh, you still reading?" She nodded.

"Yeah, but..." she started, confused. "Why did you and mom get married?" He frowned and looked back at her as she brushed her long blonde hair.

"What do you mean?" he asked. Kylie sighed.

"Well... how come you've never told me about it? Did you get married because of me?" she inquired. He shook his head quickly. "What makes you say that?"

"We didn't do it because of you. We were young, and in love," he stated firmly. "Now, eat your meal" Kylie followed him with her green eyes, frowning as he turned around to control his own food.

Ethan stood by the school's front door, frowning. It opened shortly after and Lizzie appeared, carrying her cute pink umbrella.

"Hey, Ethe," she said, kissing him. He pulled apart a few seconds later. "What's wrong?" Her confused hazel eyes met his longingly.

"You took long," he commented. She tilted her head slowly.

"I know... sorry. Nobody would agree on anything!" she complained, shaking her head. He nodded and she gazed up at the sky.

"Fine," he said harshly. She frowned as well.

"What do you think I was doing?" she asked him. "G-d, Ethan... I just spent almost an hour in a room full of people... who just kept on arguing. I cannot believe you're still obsessing over me and Gordo!"

"Whatever," he mumbled, starting to walk away. She sighed and followed him with her eyes.

"Ethan, it's storming. Let me drive you home!" she exclaimed. He shook his head, ignoring the pouring rain as it helped him cooling off.

"I'd rather walk," he replied, hurrying up. She sighed and looked down, hurt, while heading towards her red car.
