(Once again, I do not own Lizzie McGuire.)
"Gordo, what is it?" she could hear the nervousness in his voice.
"Miranda, you can't say anything to Lizzie."
"I won't, I promise."
"O.K., well, you know how Lizzie has been my best friend since I was in diapers?" he asked.
"Yeah….so?" she wasn't sure what he was getting at.
"Well, I've come to realize something." he paused for a moment trying to figure out what it was he was going to say next. "I saw her kissing Ronny once back while they were going out. It felt like someone had ripped out my heart and thrown it onto a bar-b-que grill."
"Oh, my gosh!" Miranda squealed. "Do you like Lizzie?!"
"Yeah, but it's different. I liked Brooke. It's stronger with Lizzie. I've grown to care for her more than I care for myself."
"Ewww, Gordo! That's weird." She stopped herself. "But, at the same time it's kind of sweet. Why haven't you said anything to her?"
"Because, I don't want to ruin the friendship. Lizzie and I have something great and I don't want to lose our friendship over this."
"Gordo, she's not gonna stop being your friend, because you like her. I can't say she likes you, because she's never said anything, but maybe she does and just didn't want to say anything, because...well…it's you."
"I don't know."
"Just talk to her. Maybe she'll know what to do."
"I don't know. I have to think about it first."
"Well, just do whatever you think is best, but I think you should tell her."
"DAVID!" Mrs. Gordon called from downstaris.
"I gotta go." he said.
"Bye."
