"I think I'm in love with kate!" Gordo annouced the next Monday morning. Lizzie stopped in
her tracks.
"OK I did NOT just hear that!" Miranda said.
"Gordo, are you out of your mind!?" Lizzie shouted turning around.
"No I'm not out of my mind and yes you DID hear that." Gordo said.
"Opps Kate said, dropping her books next to Gordo.
"Here let me get those." Gordo bent down and gathered all her books and handed them
to Kate.
"Uh, thanx." Kate muttered and hurried up to Claire. "See I told you." Kate whispered to
Claire.
"Bye." Gordo murmmered.
"Ew gross!" Miranda made gagging noises.
"Oh come on! Is it really hard to believe that someone actually likes me?" Miranda and
Lizzie looked at each and then nodded. Gordo threw up his arms walking away.
"Gee, thanks guys!"
"No Gordo, it's not that. It's just, we're talking about Kate! Kate goes out with brain dead
guys like Danny Kessler." Lizzie explained. Gordo turned around.
"You know you could be HAPPY for me."
"OK we'll try to support you. But it's just that it's Kate." Miranda promised, looking at
Lizzie.
"Yeah, sorry Gordo." BRING! The bell rang just as Lizzie found her seat. Lizzie looked to see
where Danny was seating. Darn, Lizzie thought, on the other side of the room. But then she
spotted Kate next to Gordo.
"Miranda look!" She pointed at Kate and Gordo.
"This is getting really weird!" Miranda whispered.
"So Gordo, wanna go to the Digital Bean tonight at six?" Kate asked, flipping her long blonde
hair out of her face.
"Sure."
"Class, today we're taking a pop quiz." Groans came from everyone.
"Now class, I promise it won't hurt a bit."
"I'm not that good at square roots!" Kate moaned. As soon as Gordo got is paper he went straight to work.
Kate looked at her paper, then looked at Gordo's. She started copying his answers.
"Gordo!" Lizzie poked Gordo in his shoulder. "What are you doing?!"
"Oh here Kate." Gordo moved his arm off his paper to share his answers with Kate.
"Gordo what are you doing? She's copying!" Lizzie whispered. Just then the teacher walked by and
Gordo went back to his quiz. Right before the bell rang the last person turned in their pop quiz. As soon as they
were in the hall Lizzie grabbed Gordo.
"Gordo! What was that? You never let anyone copy! Not even me and Miranda!"
"It was just a pop quiz." Gordo argued.
"Yeah and it was Kate!"
"So." Gordo muttered. Lizzie threw her hands up and left.

quickly went back to work.
