Chapter 14: School Daze
Lizzie awoke Monday morning to the sound of her alarm clock and hit the snooze button once before officially waking up. She grudgingly went to the bathroom to shower. After she finished with her bathroom necessities, she went and got dressed in a jean skirt and white off the shoulder top. Realizing that she's running late, she runs downstairs, grabs a Nurti-Grain bar, and leaves for school. Gordo and her decided to walk to school today, and he was walking up her driveway as she closed the door.
"Hey, McGuire. Ready?" Gordo asked.
"Yeah, let's go." Lizzie replied, taking Gordo's hand into her own.
The two walked contently to school. Neither really cared what the kids at school thought of their new budding relationship, but they both did realize it was their first day being officially together.
Gordo opened the doors to Hillridge Junior High and let Lizzie in first. This was their last week of school and they couldn't be any happier. From the moment their hands met again people started noticing and watching them, amazed that the two finally got together. The first to approach them was Kate and Ethan.
"Hi, Lou-zie and Gordork. I see you two are together." Kate scoffed. "Geeks and freaks dating, the world couldn't happier."
"Uh, thanks, Kate. I think" Gordo replied.
Ethan gave the two a thumbs up sign and his stupid smile as Kate and he walked past.
"Kate is so..superficial." Lizzie said. "At the dance, she was so nice about the two of us, I mean she even told me that you liked me, she HUGGED me! Now, she's like the complete opposite."
"Yeah, but Kate's been putting on this show for a while now." Gordo replied gently squeezing Lizzie's hand.
"I know, but still. I just wish, I don't know. She just makes me so mad sometimes."
"I know she does. But it's almost summer and you won't have to see her for three months."
"That's something to look forward to. Wait, she'll probably go to Rome. I'll see her there."
"You can avoid her. I'll be there and maybe even Miranda."
"You're parents said yes?"
"Yup. When they came home last night, they showed me the letter and we talked about it. They said 'it would be a great opportunity.'"
"Now I have someone to spend my time with instead of my parents."
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't tell you?" Gordo shook his head. "They're contemplating being chaperone's for the trip."
"I see. That'd be kinda cool." Gordo added as they entered their first period class.
'I kinda hope Miranda can't come.' Gordo thought. 'Being in Rome with Lizzie, being able to spend all my time with her, it'd be too perfect. Speaking of Miranda, I wonder if Lizzie's talked to her about us yet. Most likely knowing those two. I should at least ask.'
The bell rang and Gordo asked, "Have you talked to Miranda about this (motioning at their interlocked hands)?"
"Yeah. A few days ago. She said she's happy for us and that if anything does make her uncomfortable or is she feels left out, that she'd talk to one of us."
"Good. I wouldn't want our friendship to diminish because of this."
"I wouldn't either. We've been through too much."
"That's an understatement." Gordo said laughing at the memories he shared with his two best friends.
"I guess so." Lizzie said, also thinking about the past. "It's going to be different now, though."
"Lizzie, it won't be different. I mean, the only thing that's different is that we're now official. None of us want to lose each other. We won't. And if I know Miranda, which I'm pretty sure I do, if she feels uncomfortable or left out, she'll make it known."
"I guess you're right. I just am kinda nervous with her coming back Friday and all."
"Me too. And I'm sure Miranda has her own reservations about returning after being away for so long. We'll make it work."
A/N: I'm getting tired. Showtime at the Apollo is about to start soon, too. I don't really like this chapter, but whatever.
