A/N: Hello everyone! I don't own Lizzie McGuire and I think you people
would've known that by now. But I do own Britney, Lizzie's new friend, who
is mentioned in this chapter. Oh yes and thank you to reviewers! Oh yeah
and if you find yourself bored with nothing to do read the beginning part,
I changed a few things around!
Not Pretty Enough
Lizzie splashed the cool water on her teary face. It felt nice.
"What is it?" Lizzie whispered softly, "What am I not pretty enough?"
Lizzie felt the pain and sadness run through her body. She had never felt so horrible. Not even when Gordo broke up with her.
*
Meanwhile, Ethan was walking back to the lunchroom. He sat down at the lunch table. "Hey", he said, "Where's Lizzie?"
The cheerleaders that Lizzie befriended sneered and walked away. "What a loser", he heard one of them say.
"What the hell?" he asked his friends.
"Why'd you do that for?" asked a boy with brown, spiked hair.
"Do what?" asked Ethan, puzzled.
"Oh come on you know what we're talking about", replied a blond haired boy.
"No, I'm pretty sure I don't", replied Ethan.
"Cheating on Lizzie with Kate, duh!"
"What?"
"You kissed Kate, idiot!"
Ethan knew what they were saying. He just didn't know how they found out. "Who said that?"
"Well Lizzie of course!" said the guy with the spiked hair.
"How'd she find out?"
"She saw you two kissing against a wall. Or at least that's what Britney said."
(Britney was one of Lizzie's new friends.)
"So Britney said that?" asked Ethan.
"Yeah", replied the guy with the blonde hair, "She went to go to the bathroom and when she came back she said that she saw Lizzie, crying because you cheated on her."
Ethan didn't know what to say. He needed to find Lizzie. He got up.
"Ethan!" one of the boys yelled, "Where the hell are you going?"
"To find Lizzie!" he yelled back as he headed for the hallway.
He ran to the girl's bathroom door. He could hear the muffled sobs and some other voices.
"Lizzie? It's Ethan", he asked.
"Go away!" shouted a girl.
"No", replied Ethan, "I need to speak to Lizzie."
Britney walked up and opened the door a little bit. "What do you want?" she said in a harsh tone.
"I want to speak to Lizzie", replied Ethan.
"Well that's a big problem for you isn't it?"
"No, I mean it!"
Britney looked at him. "She can't talk now", she said as she closed the door.
He held the door and prevented her from opening it. Britney tried to close it but Ethan was too strong.
"Let go!" she said angrily.
"Not until I talk to Lizzie!"
"No!" she said and with all her might she slammed the door. Ethan got his hand out of the way just in time.
*
Inside the bathroom the girls were all around Lizzie They kept telling her what a pathetic asshole Ethan was. She thanked them but it still didn't really help.
The bell rang, which meant lunch is over. Lizzie had to come out sometime and Ethan was standing there waiting for her.
"How am I supposed to get out?" asked Lizzie as she stared up at the ceiling.
"Maybe we could distract Ethan?" said a girl.
They all agreed. Britney opened the door. She saw Ethan. She walked right up to him. She started talking to him as Lizzie made a run for it.
*
The final bell had rung and it was time to go home. Lizzie spent the rest of the day hanging with her friends and avoiding Ethan.
Lizzie decided to walk home. She was walking along when a familiar guy appeared.
"Hey!" he greeted her.
"Gordo!" said Lizzie. She had to admit that she was happy to see him.
"I heard about you and Ethan", he said.
Lizzie didn't reply. She just stared at the ground.
"If it helps", said Gordo, "Ethan's a total bastard. He doesn't know what huge mistake he made."
Lizzie smiled a little. She replied in a quiet voice, "Well you made that so called mistake too."
"I never cheated on you."
Yah, but you broke up with me."
"Yea, and I regret it."
Their eyes met. Lizzie started to remember what had made Gordo so appealing to her in the first place. It was his kind gentle heart. She started to feel weird. There was some sort of feeling there.
"Lizzie?" he asked, breaking Lizzie's concentration.
"Hunh?"
He took her hand and kissed it. "So, are you single?" asked Gordo.
"Not this again", replied Lizzie. She took her hand away from him and turned away.
"What?"
"You keep trying to get me back. It's not going to happen! And just because Ethan and me had a fight doesn't mean we're over! I mean, I might be but maybe Ethan has a good reason."
Gordo rolled his eyes. "Lizzie", he said gently, "he kissed another girl. Everyone thinks that was wrong. And I won't give up until you give me another chance."
Lizzie was unsure of a lot of things. Something inside her still didn't want to give up on Ethan, she also wasn't sure about Gordo. Why did he wan this second chance?
Gordo kissed her softly on the cheek, "I love you."
"No!" she said loudly, "No, you do." Her eyes welled up. She didn't want to hurt Gordo but that was kinda impossible now that he "loved" her.
Gordo felt his heart breaking. "Yes, I do. But now I don't think I shouldn't said that. What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" she yelled, "I have a boyfriend."
"Yea, a lousy one that kissed another girl."
"So, I still need to talk to him about it," said Lizzie as she turned away.
"How can you still want to talk to him?" replied Gordo a bit confused.
"Because I need to!" she yelled at him.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because..."
"What?" "I don't think I should give up on Ethan."
"Are you hearing yourself talk?" asked Gordo in disbelief.
"Yea", replied Lizzie quietly.
"Why? He CHEATED on you. Don't you see how wrong that is?"
"I know. I just need to talk Ethan. There's just something there."
Gordo looked at her with a cold stare.
"Great", he said to her, "I say my true feelings and what happens? I get rejected. Again. Bye!"
"Gordo, no!" said Lizzie as she grabbed his arm.
Gordo tried to free his arm from her tight grip. "Let go", he said coolly.
"Gordo", said Lizzie, "you promised me that'd I'd never lose you again."
"Yea, and you promised me that you'd never break my heart. So yah know, people break promises."
"I didn't mean to!" said Lizzie still holding Gordo's arm tight. "I just need to talk to Ethan before I make any decisions. I may not LOVE you but I swear that'd I never be able to forgive myself if I ever lost you. I hope you understand that", Lizzie said and she let go of Gordo's arm.
Gordo didn't move he turned around. "You'll never lose me", he said to her, as he looked her in the eyes. Lizzie was already starting to regret what she was about to do. The two started to lean in.
A/N: And now. the end is near. Only a few more chapters to go! (I'm thinking maybe 2 or 3 or 4, it depends) so updates might take a couple of days so that I can think of a great ending. When this is complete I will start another story.
Will Lizzie and Gordo kiss? Why does Lizzie feel that she needs to talk to Ethan? Will Ethan get the chance to talk to Lizzie? What were Ethan and Britney talking about? Will this be L/G or L/E? I guess you'll have to wait and find out.
