Catch Me If You Can

Gordo quickly turned and began to run. He pushed his way through the crowds of people. He shut the huge door to the house behind him. He ran until he was sure that he was out of sight.

Ethan tired to get Gordo but let's face it, Gordo is fast. Annoyed Ethan turned around and returned to the party.

Lizzie could tell Ethan was really angry. But she didn't want Gordo to get hurt.

"Ethan?" she said in a sweet voice, "What gonna happen to Gordo?"

"I'll pound him", replied Ethan.

"Oh", replied Lizzie, "Hey Ethan?"

"Yea?"

"Could you not kill Gordo? Please!" she said with a pouty look on her face.

Ethan glared at her. Boy, did he want to get Gordo back. But then he was pretty sure that Lizzie would hate him. "Fine", he mumbled.

Lizzie was happy, "Thanks", she said.

Slowly everyone began to leave. Miranda, Danny, and Lizzie were one of the last to leave but then eventually went home. Danny kissed Miranda and then walked to his house since it wasn't far away. Mrs. McGuire came and picked Lizzie and Miranda up.

Miranda was sleeping over at Lizzie's and as soon as they got to Lizzie's house they went up to Lizzie's room.

They sat on the bed, exhausted. "So", said Miranda, "What the hell happened back there?"

Lizzie slowly turned to Miranda, "Well you see, Ethan sorta kissed me."

"What!" exclaimed Miranda.

"And Gordo saw and punched Ethan and gave him that nasty black eye."

"Wha.! Go. Gordo punched him!" exclaimed Miranda and disbelief.

Lizzie nodded her head.

"Wow", said Miranda, still a bit surprised. Gordo was more the sweet sensitive guys. This wasn't really like him. Unless.

"Hey Liz?" said Miranda.

"What?" Lizzie said in a sleepy voice. She was very tired from all that had happened.

"Do you think Gordo did that out of jealousy?" she asked.

"Maybe. I don't know", replied Lizzie.

"I see", said Miranda. She thought for a moment. "Goodnight", she said as she turned off the lights.

"Night", replied Lizzie as she drifted off to sleep.

*************************************************

By Monday, all of the freshmen were talking about the party, even the ones who didn't go. They knew about Ethan and Lizzie, and Gordo punching Ethan.

Gordo kept his distance from Ethan the whole time. The last thing he wanted was to beat up. Although, some of the guys who didn't like Ethan gave Gordo thumbs up sign as he passed by. He couldn't help but feel good. He glanced over to where he saw Lizzie and Miranda, talking about nonsense by their locker.

"Lizzie", said Miranda as she nudged her friend, "Gordo's staring at you."

Lizzie looked over. She started to look back but was interrupted by someone.

"Lizzie", said Ethan as he put his arm around her, "I was wondering if we could go, like on a date? Say, Friday?"

Lizzie looked up at Ethan. Her dreams were slowly coming true. "Yea", she said, "that sounds good."

"Okay", said Ethan, "Let's see um, Digital Bean? At like seven?'

"I'll be there", replied Lizzie.

"Great! Catch ya later!"

Lizzie waved goodbye and set her eyes on Gordo. He was still looking. She could she the jealous flare in his eyes. He shot an angry look at her and walked away.

Lizzie watched him as he disappeared into the hall with a sad look on her face. Usually she would have been thrilled to know that a guy was pissed because she wasn't going out with him. But she just felt sad. She didn't want to hurt Gordo.

She shook her head. She thought nothing for Gordo. Nothing. No feelings for Gordo here. Nope. Zilch. Nada. She just kept telling herself that for the entire day.

Meanwhile Gordo was sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. What had come over him that night? He couldn't still love Lizzie. After all he broke up with her. Nah, of course he didn't love her. Right?
