A/N: Okay you think that people would get the picture but I think I must
state this in every chapter: I don't own Lizzie McGuire!
Thank you to the reviewers. That makes me happy that you actually like the story. So yay!
The Truth Hurts
Lizzie kept staring. It was liked her feet were glued to that spot on the floor. She didn't even blink since Gordo walked away from her, maybe forever.
"Come on, Lizzie, let's go", said Britney as she grabbed Lizzie by the arm.
Lizzie arrived at History class and sat down at her desk. She saw Miranda next to her. It was one of the few classes where they actually did still sit together. When Miranda looked at her she seemed angry.
"Hey", said Lizzie, "something wrong."
Miranda smirked, "yea there's something wrong, a certain blonde haired bimbo. And yes, I'm talking about you."
W. what..." replied Lizzie. Miranda knew.
"You'd be surprised what I know about you and Gordo", she said as she began chipping off some black nail polish.
Lizzie looked down at her desk, "I guess you know everything."
"Yea", said Miranda as she drove her attention away from her nails, "I do."
Lizzie stared at her desk. She could tell how angry Miranda was.
"What gives you the right to do that do him?" asked Miranda as she turned and in doing so slammed her hand on the desk.
She blurted out, "Listen little Miss Accuser, I didn't intentionally do this Gordo. He had feelings for me and I didn't. It's as simple as that!"
Miranda gave Lizzie an angry look and replied, "Well Gordo loves you, okay, he's sweet and caring and smart. Ethan on the other hand doesn't even know what a surgeon is!"
"Yea", replied Lizzie, "but Ethan is who I'm with now and Ethan may not be smart but he's a caring person."
"So", Miranda snapped, "and Ethan's hot. And that's all you care about. Oh yeah and of course he's popular. So I guess Gordo ain't gotta chance with someone shallow like you!"
Lizzie thought that she could explode. The anger rushed through her veins, "I get that Miranda, but I also get that I. I. love Ethan!" Lizzie covered her mouth with her hands.
Miranda's eyes got as wide as golf balls and she gasped, "You. you love him."
Lizzie pushed back the strands of blonde hair that had fallen into her eyes, "I guess I do."
Miranda still with a wide-eyed stare turned away from Lizzie. She looked at the teacher who had just entered the room.
Lizzie sunk into her chair, wishing that she could go back in time. And change everything. Why did she tutor Ethan in the first place?

The day seemed to be getting longer rather than shorter. She still didn't believe that she said that she loved Ethan. She wasn't really sure. But it didn't seem so horribly wrong when she said it. She thought about it the rest of the day but it didn't become clear until lunchtime..
Lizzie finally found where Ethan was. He wasn't sitting with the rest of them. Lizzie walked over to where he was.
He seemed depressed. And it showed. His usually perfect hair looked as if it hadn't been washed or groomed very well, dark circles shown around his eyes. She felt responsible. Which she probably was.
Lizzie sat down across from him. She needed to set things right.
"Hi", she said quietly.
He said nothing back.
"Britney told me that Kate came unto you and something else."
He still didn't reply.
"I just wanna say that I really miss you and maybe we can be you, know, together again."
Again, he didn't reply.
"You have to say something", said Lizzie gently.
Ethan got up. And walked over to the trashcan where he disposed of his lunch, even the tray, but he did that very often.
"Ethan", said Lizzie as she walked right in front of him cutting off his path back to the table, "please, say something, anything."
"Okay", he said in a raspy voice, the tired as glancing at her, "move."
"No", said Lizzie as she stood firmly on the ground, "not until I you tell me what's wrong."
"You know what's wrong, Lizzie McGuire", he said as he turned his back to her.
"Tell me what I did, cause really I think that I'm the only one who should be mad", she said softly.
"Gordo", he replied coolly, "you.a. and him, there. kissing."
Lizzie didn't know what to say, "you. know."
He turned back to her still looking tired and angry and sad all at the same time, "course I know."
"I'm sorry, I. I thought that you wanted Kate", she said innocently.
"I never wanted Kate, I wanted you, she came unto me and I tried to tell you that but no, you won't let me explain. And then, I see you and director guy over there kissing. And." he couldn't finish the rest.
"And it meant nothing", Lizzie added in.
"Really, cause from where I was standing you seemed perfectly happy", he snapped.
He turned away from Lizzie once again, "I hope you know I love you. But that's too much of me to think that'd you'd think the same."
"I do though", Lizzie corrected. "I love you Ethan."
"Well, too bad", replied Ethan harshly, "goodbye."
"No!" Lizzie said loudly, "don't!"
But it was too late he began to go and she just couldn't follow but rather sink to the ground.
She slowly got up and stumbled upon a bench. "No", she whispered, "no, no, no."
She cried again. Something that she did a lot of lately but this time it hurt more.
"No!" she yelled as she cried harder. People began to stare. She knew that this would embarrass her later. But instead she cried like a little girl.
Then someone put his or her arms around her. "It's okay", someone cooed to her.
"Miranda?" she sniffed.
"Shhhhhhhhh. It's okay"", she said.
Lizzie began to cry harder like a child. And that's when she definitely knew. Before it was kind of like a little lie. But now she knew for sure, that she really did love Ethan.
A/N: Did I mention that this is totally not over yet? Again it isn't so don't draw conclusions.
