A/N: I still am not sure where this story is going. Don't expect all happy goodness, I'm toying with a few different twists. Sorry, if this chapter isn't too good, I'm pretty sure that I have a fever right now.

Chapter 3: It's Only Fair
Gordo walked anxiously towards his locker to meet Lizzie. When he got there, Lizzie had not. He slowly opened his locker and tried to clam himself down. 'Come on Gordon, you can do this. Just tell her how you fell. You've done this in your head so many.' His thoughts stopped. Correction: EVERYTHING stopped as Lizzie approached, smiling. She looked even better than when he last saw her.
"Hey Gordo! Just let me grab my stuff and we'll go, kay?" Lizzie stated. Gordo didn't realize, but Lizzie was trying to hide her own fear of what this talk would bring.
"Yeah. Sounds Great." Gordo managed to say. Lizzie got her things and they walked out the doors of Hillridge Junior High towards the Digital Bean.
On the way there, they kept talking about other things. Anything to get them around what was on both of their minds. They discussed how Miranda was, the upcoming graduation dance, how the end of the year was going, what they thought would happen in high school, the future. Finally, they arrived at the Digital Bean and got their drinks.
The two sat at a semi-secluded table and both of them had no topics of discussion.except one. Hurriedly, Gordo and Lizzie both searched their minds trying to come with something. They were unsuccessful.
'OK Gordon, now is your time to shine." Gordo reassured himself.
"Lizzie, you and I both know we've been beating around the bush long enough. I-I meant what I said..in the note. I like you, actually I've liked you for awhile and well.I.." Gordo didn't know how to continue. He couldn't think of anything witty to say, let alone anything to say. 'COME ON! THIS IS LIZZIE. YOU CAN TALK TO HER! No, I can't' Gordo's brain started its own duel with itself. He wasn't even looking at Lizzie, he was afraid that he'd be too disappointed.
"Gordo, will you at least look at me and hear me out?" Lizzie inquired. Gordo looked up and saw her smiling. His heart stopped beating. "Well?" Gordo said barely audible.
"Well, I think it's only fair that since you've now expressed your feelings that I should express mine." Lizzie paused and cautiously reached for Gordo's hand. "I like you too."
Gordo was shocked. He really wasn't expecting to hear that. Sure, he had dreamed it happening thousands of times, but this.this was real. Lizzie was really holding his hand, she really liked him. Finally, he regained his composure. "Really? That's great!" Gordo answered a little over excited. Thinking fast, he glanced at his watch and saw that it was getting late. He suggested they leave for home, and Lizzie agreed. They left, same as they entered, only now, they were holding hands, and each was excited/nervous about what was going to happen now.
"So, I don't really want to ruin our friendship, Lizzie. I still want to be your best friend and be there for you." Gordo stammered.
"I want you to be my best friend too, Gordo. I don't know where I'd be without you."
'Wow, I didn't think that she actually thought I effected her life that much.' He thought.
"I don't know what I'd do without you." He replied. He noticed a patch of flowers and picked a pretty yellow one for her.
They finally arrived at Lizzie's house and Lizzie was nervously twirling her flower between her fingers. She thought back to the murder mystery and how tense Gordo had been. Now, though, he wasn't alone.
"Well, here we are." Lizzie slowly uttered.
"Yeah, here we are." Gordo mimicked her statement.
"My parents probably want me to be inside." Lizzie turned a little upset at how the night ended.
"Lizzie! Wait.." Gordo exclaimed.
"Yes?" Lizzie replied eagerly.
