Author's note: Thankz for the reviews once again! (KawaiiLizard, you cracked me up =D) Hmm, I didn't even consider whether or not Gordo asking Miranda out would be Gordo-ish, but don't worry, I was gonna have it all end good! Cuz I couldn't see Gordo hurting her either! And "fluffy"? I'm new to fanfiction.net, so I have no idea what that means! LoL It sounds derogatory tho… Maybe it means pointless? Er… Someone please explain! LoL. But if it does mean pointless, then yeah, I agree. I wasn't trying to write a Pulitzer Prize winning novel! LoL
Oh yeah… Adding to the note in the very first chapter, we'll just pretend that Gordo never kissed that girl either. What girl, I have no idea, I seemed to have missed that episode! How? I'm not sure… Oh yeah, and stupid me, I forgot to mention to forget that Lizzie kissed Aaron Carter! ::slaps self:: How could I forget that lil cutie? LoL But we're pretending those things never happened cuz it was 'posed to be their first kiss, ya know?

-Lizzie's Room-
"Did you guys see what happened to Kate in the hall after first period?" Miranda asked.
Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda were having a three-way conversation on the phone. Lizzie lay on her bed, her head propped up on her pillows and her feet hanging over the edge. She twitched her ankles so that her sandals slapped against the bottom of her feet.
"Yeah, the look on her face was priceless," Gordo chuckled.
Lizzie sighed and rolled onto her side, staring at her *NSYNC poster, wondering why she still had their poster on her wall.
"Lizzie?" Miranda asked.
"Yeah?" Lizzie answered.
"What's wrong? You're so quiet," Miranda commented.
"Nothing's wrong," Lizzie said. She heard the floorboards creaking behind her and sat up just in time to see Matt and Lanny running out the door. "Stay out of my room or I'm telling Mom!" she called after them. She made an exasperated noise and threw herself back onto her pillows so fast that she bounced off and rolled onto the floor. "Ow!" she rubbed her injured elbow as she picked up the phone.
"Are you ok? What happened?" Gordo was asking.
"Nothing, I'm fine," Lizzie mumbled.
"Lizzie, what's wrong? You can't tell me that something's not with you tonight," Miranda insisted.
"I'm good. Stop pestering me," Lizzie said. She flopped back onto her bed. "Hey, I gotta go… I have…" she tried to think of an excuse, "homework! I have homework to do!"
"You told me earlier that you had finished it all," Miranda interjected.
"I forgot to do something. I really have to go. Bye," Lizzie said, hanging up before either of them had a chance to question her further. She buried her face in her pillows and lay quietly for a few seconds before hearing a knock at her door. She lifted her head and saw her mom.
"Lizzie? You know you can talk to me if you have problems," Jo said, coming in and sitting next to her daughter. She rubbed Lizzie's back softly.
"Have you ever been confused about how you feel about a guy?" Lizzie asked. She rested her chin on her hands.
"Oh, is this about Ethan?" Jo asked.
"Well, not really," Lizzie sighed.
"If you tell me more, maybe I can help you out," Jo said.
"Well, I like this guy, but I can't tell if he likes me. I thought he did, but then he asked out my friend. Now I have this big jumble of feelings and I can't tell what I think anymore. And then there's Ethan. I'm so confused!" Lizzie buried her face in her pillow again.
Jo gave her all-knowing mother's smile before rolling Lizzie over onto her back. "I think that if you aren't sure how you feel about this guy, then don't pursue him. What happens if you get him, and it turns out you DON'T like him? You'll already have pushed Ethan away at that point. If your friend is happy with that guy, than let her be happy," she advised.
Lizzie smiled. "Thanks Mom," she sat up and hugged her. "I'll just stay with Ethan and try to forget about the other guy."
"Sounds good to me," Jo kissed her daughter's forehead.
"Mom! I'm 17 now!" Lizzie wiped her forehead off and smiled.
"But you'll always be my little girl!" Jo smiled.
Lizzie rolled her eyes and laughed softly.
"But you'll always be my lil' girl!" a falsetto voice mocked from the doorway.
"Matt!" Lizzie and Jo said in unison. Lizzie threw her pillow as he ran away, laughing maniacally.
