A/N: Missing moment from season 2, episode 14: "Just like Lizzie, in which Andie (a seventh grade student) copies Lizzie´s appearance down to the last detail. This Missing Moment is about Gordo´s thoughts about Andie, Lizzie and his own feelings.
The substitute
For a little while it had been nice to indulge himself in the belief that he could be with her. Or with someone who looked a lot like her, at least. It had seemed like Andie really recognized him as a dateable guy. Something that Lizzie clearly didn't.
It was difficult for him, beginning to see Lizzie in another light like this. They had been friends since forever and had shared every thought and new experience with each other. But this was clearly different. There was no way he could discuss this with Lizzie, since she was the object of his affection. There was also no way they could experience this together, since Lizzie clearly didn't see him in that light.
So Gordo were clueless as what to do with this. One thing was for sure, though. He really needed to talk to someone about this. And he knew it had to be Miranda. He dreaded that conversation. How would she react? And more importantly, how girly would she react?
He knew he had to discuss this with her at some point. His head was close to bursting with all his confused thoughts.
But for now he was content just being around Lizzie. The moment he would share this with Miranda would be the moment were it would turn into something serious. Were it would become real. And he wasn't ready for that just yet.
