(I do not own any of these characters......I just love to watch them.)
Lizzie McGuire gathered her books from her desk as the bell rung for lunch. She walked out of her English class and ran right into Ethan Craft. A smile crossed her face as Ethan smiled down at her.
"Hey there Mc...how's it going," Ethan asked her. Lizzie just stared at him for a second, her words getting tongue-tied like usual when she was around him.
"Uh...hey," she finally said to him. As she stood there it popped in her head about the invitation. She dug into her book bag and pulled out the envelope. "This is for you Ethan." He took it from her.
"What is it," he asked her.
"I'm throwing a murder mystery party and your invited to come," Lizzie said. She was very proud of herself for actually getting that out and not stumbling on her words like usual.
" That's very cool Lizzie. I'll defiantly be there," Ethan told her as he pushed his light brown hair behind his ears. 'If only I could touch that hair,' Lizzie thought to herself.
"So I'll see you tomorrow than," Lizzie said in a high pitched voice. Man did she hate puberty.
"Most defiantly," Ethan said to Lizzie as he patted her on the back and started to leave for the lunchroom. Hearts filled Lizzies eyes as she watched Ethan leave. She was daydreaming so much that she didn't notice Gordo standing in the distance, with a sad look on his face.
"Hello, earth to Lizzie,"Miranda said from behind her. Lizzie turned around and smiled at Miranda.
"Sorry, I must have been in Ethan mode. I just gave him the invite and he said that he would be there most defiantly," Lizzie told her excitedly.
"Oh, that is so great,"Miranda said to her.
"Hey you guys," Gordo said as he started to walk towards them. "Are you ready to chow down cause I'm hungry."
"Your always hungry," Miranda said with a giggle.
"Well a grown man has to eat," Gordo told her as they started to head towards the cafeteria.
"And were is this grown man," Lizzie said playfully as she looked around, pretending to try and find someone.
" Really funny there Lizzie," Gordon said back sarcastically as he headed towards the foodline. The aroma of spaghetti and garlic bread filled the room. Both girls laughed as they got behind him. "So have you given Kate her invite yet?"
"Uhg...I almost forgot to do that," Lizzie said.
"Are you sure you didn't just try to forget, cause I know I would of," Miranda said as she grabbed a tray.
"I wish I could," Lizzie said as she got herself a tray to. They all got their spaghetti and garlic bread with a coke to drink. Except Gordo also added a bag of Doritos and Oreo cookies.' He sure didn't lie when he said he was hungry' Lizzie thought to herself as she looked over at his tray. One thing she couldn't say about Gordo was that he didn't know how to eat.
"So there's your chance," Gordo said as they headed towards an open table exactly across from Kate and the Cheerleading bunch.
"I think I'll wait till there isn't a bunch of them to gang up on me," Lizzie said as she sat down at the table."I can handle Kate but not a bunch of Kate wanna-bes.
"Good point. If you want I'll go with you when the coast is clear," Gordo told her. Lizzie smiled over at him.
"Thanks Gordo. I appreciate it. I'll need all the backing up I can get," Lizzie told him. Gordo smiled to himself. For some reason he had been doing a lot of that lately around Lizzie.
"So what time should we be over for tomorrow," Miranda asked as she jabbed into a large meatball.
"I think there is a time on the invitation," Lizzie said. "My mom did say though that dinner would be at six and that's when the fun would begin."
"Oh man I can not wait till tomorrow," Miranda said to her. They finished up eating their food and the crowd in the cafeteria dwindled down. Lizzie looked over at Kate's table and noticed that everyone had left except her. 'This rare occasion would not go to waste,' Lizzie thought to herself.
"She is actually alone so I'm going to go for it," Lizzie said to her friends. Gordo started to stand up but Lizzie stopped him.
"I think I can handle this one Gordo," she said to him. Gordos smile started to slip away. He couldn't help but think if he were Ethan than she would have been jumping at the chance for him to go. "I appreciate at it though.
"No problem," Gordo said as he sat back down. "I'll keep my other best friend here company." He than took Miranda's hand and gave her a wink. Miranda looked up from her tray of food and gave Gordo a weird look.
"Ahhh....thanks," Miranda said as she took back her hand. She couldn't help but wonder why Gordo had been acting so weird lately. She had been picking up on little things he had been doing lately around Lizzie. Like jumping at the chance to help her out with things. Yeah, she would help Lizzie out in anyway possible if she though she needed help, but asking to carry her book bag like he did yesterday was a little overboard. Gordo started to pick up on Miranda's vibe and became quite.
"Ok, well I'll be right back," Lizzie said to them.
"Good luck," Miranda said as Lizzie walked away. She than looked over at Gordo and told him they needed to talk.
"Go ahead and shoot," Gordo told her as he opened up his Oreo's and put one in his mouth.
"I think there is something going on with you and your not telling us," Miranda told him.
"Like what," Gordo said with a mouthful.
'Like the fact that you may be falling for a certain friend of ours," Miranda said. Gordo almost choked on his cookie.
"Are you nuts," Gordo said after he took a drink of his coke.
"No, I'm just picking up on things," Miranda said as she leaned closer to him. "You could tell me anything, you know that right."
"Yeah I know that and I would tell you if there was something to tell but there isn't," Gordo said to her. It seemed like he was more saying it to himself than to her. Miranda just looked at him, not saying a word. "There's nothing happening here Miranda." She just shook her head as she picked up her coke and took a sip. ' At least I think there isn't,' Gordo said to himself.
'Well here I go' Lizzie said to herself as she walked up to Kate. "Hey there Kate," Lizzie said with a half smile.
"Are you talking to me," Kate asked her with a glare.
"Well you are the only Kate around at the moment so I'd say yes," Lizzie said to her with a snap. 'Keep cool Liz, you have to get through this without blowing up on her,
"Whatever, what do you want," Kate asked as she rolled her eyes at her.
" Well I just wanted to give you this invitation to a party I was throwing," Lizzie said as she handed the invitation over to Kate.
"What," Kate said she just stared at the invite, not even trying to take it from Lizzie. "And what would make you think I would go to some stupid party you are throwing."
"Look Kate, my mom was nice enough to invite you to this party and it's not just some stupid ordinary party. Were throwing a murder mystery party that Miranda, Gordo, Ethan, and I will be at and...." before Lizzie could finish Kate jumped in.
"Oh Ethan is going, well why didn't you say that," Kate said with a wicked smile. "Sure I'll be there." And with that Kate got up and left Lizzie standing there.
"So how did it go," Miranda asked from behind her. Lizzie turned around with a stunned look on her face.
"Good, actually which makes me a little worried," Lizzie told her.
"Why," Gordo said as he joined his friends.
"Well she was being normal Kate until I told her who was going to be there at the party and she jumped to the chance to come," Lizzie told both of them.
"Well that's good....right?" Gordo asked her. Both Miranda and Lizzie shook their heads as they read each other's minds.
"I have a feeling she's up to something," Miranda said.
"And that something's name is Ethan," Lizzie answered back. Gordo just rolled his eyes at the two of them. He still didn't know why there was such a fuse over Ethan in the first place. Yeah he wasn't bad looking and was an alright guy but he had the brain of an orangutan. 'Actually I take that back' Gordo thought to himself, 'an orangutan would be much smarter.' Gordo smiled to himself. Tomorrow was going to be very interesting.
