A/N Hey I own nothing including any characters in this story.
Despite Lizzie's confused state of mind, she continued to study with Gordo. Lizzie had decided to simply put the whole lying to Ethan in the back of her mind. Right now her focus was math. She had to admit it but he was a really good teacher. Somehow he was able to get through all the math concepts so she would understand.
Gordo: Wow I can't believe it. It's almost 10. I better get home I have a test in AP biology tomorrow and I am not even sure what the chapter is about.
Lizzie: Looks like I am not the only one with senioritis. Hey let me give you a ride home it is the least I can do after all.
Gordo: Thanks Let me just get my bag and say good bye to matt and we can go.
Gordo never thought that he would be here again. Lizzie and him had not been friends for years. And he hated to admit it but it wasn't entirely her fault. He saw it coming they were just growing apart. When they entered high school everything changed. Miranda discovered high school parties and he personally didn't care for them. Lizzie became obsessed with trying to be popular after the most popular boy Ethan Craft asked her out. Soon Lizzie was a cheerleader to impress him. Gordo never saw his two best friends anymore. He ate lunch at a different time then they did and he was in none of the same classes as they were. He began to become friends with the people in his classes including Larry Touchman. Now Gordo was disappearing and Dave was emerging. Nowadays no one calls him Gordo everyone calls him Dave. It felt weird yet reassuring to be called by his childhood nickname. Four years ago, he practically lived at the Maguire house. Now it felt strange being there which was not one feeling that was associated with the Maguire house. Today he had the surprise of the year. At the tutoring for national honor society, he was paired up with his ex best friend Lizzie Maguire. First off he was surprised that Lizzie was failing any subject and that she spoke to him. The two friends were very distant. They didn't speak. They didn't wave to each other in the hallways. It was almost as they were never friends in the first place.
So Dave " Gordo" Gordon reluctantly tutored her. After all it was his job and he had nothing better to do. All of his friends including Larry Touchman were busy doing some sort of extra credit assignment for biology. He finished his early because Gordo thought that he had plans with his Dad. They had an agreement: he would live with his mom all of the time but every Tuesday he was supposed to have dinner with his dad. The only problem was his dad either cancelled or didn't show. Dave pretended like he didn't care but deep down inside it was tearing him apart. He thought that his father's absence meant that he didn't love him. He knew better by now not to go home on these days. If he went home he had to endure the wrath of his mother asking where his father was. Why should she care anyway? She had a new boy toy of her own, Arthur and they were going to get married. Dave Gordo could not wait to leave for college.
They get into the car.
Gordo: Hey I don't live over on Stetler anymore. We moved into someplace smaller over on Linden Avenue.
Lizzie: Okay just tell me what house it is okay. I can't believe you moved. There were so many good memories at that place.
Gordo: Yeah I don't I know it. Hey remember the time we thought that we could fly off my garage roof.
Lizzie: Yeah. Man I wish that things could still be that innocent and simple. Like remember when we were in middle school and our hardest problem was being grounded.
Gordo: Yeah I know. Oh wait there's my house over there. It's the gray one with the white trim. Thanks for the ride.
Lizzie: No problem. Hey can I use your bathroom I have to go really bad.
Gordo: Sure come on in
The inside of Gordo's house was unrecognizable to Lizzie. She saw nothing familiar. The house was cold and uninviting. No wonder Gordo wanted to spend no time here. There was a note on the table for him
Dave: I hope you are out having fun with your dad. I am out with Arthur. Don't wait up for me. If you get hungry there are some frozen dinners in the freezer. Try not to do anything stupid while I am gone. Remember to take out the trash.
---Mom
PS if you have nothing better to do could you maybe do some cleaning? Arthur's parents are coming and I want this place to be presentable.
While Lizzie was in the bathroom Gordo saw the note and crippled it up and through it against the wall. He couldn't believe it. His mother thought the world revolved around herself. That was not new. But come on he was eighteen not eight it is not like he is going to burn down the house cooking a TV dinner. But he was not brought into this earth to be her slave. He kept his anger to himself for the last thing he wanted was her pity.
Lizzie: Thanks for the bathroom I guess, Gordo. Oh wait do you want me to call you Dave?
Lizzie No problem. It feels good to be called Gordo again.
Lizzie noticed a picture on the table in Gordo's room. It was of him and Miranda. The picture looked pretty recent like it was less than a year old. In the picture they are smiling and looking like they are having the time of their lives. Lizzie felt left out.
Lizzie( picking up the picture): Hey when was this taken?
Gordo: Oh that, last year she took me for a night on the town for my birthday.
Lizzie: You two still friends?
Gordo: Yeah, we are not as close as we use to be but every so often we rent a movie. She is really good at helping me to get my mind off of things. We just hang and veg out and talk.
Lizzie couldn't believe it. She always assumed since the three of them weren't friends then none of them were friends. Lizzie came to this conclusion obviously they don't need me any more since they got each other. And besides she has a lot of friends and a hectic social calendar. She has a full life so what was she complaining about. Lizzie decided to get out of Gordo's house as soon as possible.
Lizzie: Hey thanks with the tutoring and stuff it really helped.
Gordo: No problem. Anytime. Have a good night and drive safe.
Lizzie: bye
Everything has changed. Nothing is the same. She feels stupid to believe that they would ever be friends again. All Lizzie wanted to do was to forget this whole night ever happened.
What do you think? How do you like the story line? Please read and review to let me know what you all think so I know what direction I should go in my writing.
