The day came and passed. It was the end of the day and was time for Lizzie to tell Gordo. Miranda had to stay after school for singing practice so it gave Lizzie time to be alone with him as they were walking home from school.
'How funny was Tudgeman acting out that scene today!' Gordo told Lizzie. 'And Ethan… What a laugh, I mean as if he couldn't-'
'Gordo there's something I need to tell.' Lizzie said, butting in to the middle of Gordo's analysis of the class.
'What is it?' He asked in a concerned voice.
Toon Lizzie: 'OK, here we go:'
'Gordo, I love you, I always have and always will.'
'I love you to Miss McGuire…'
'…Miss McGuire! MISS MCGUIRE… if your so bored with Mr. Craft's and Mr. Tudegman's rendition of Macbeth that you have to fall asleep in class, then why don't you come up here and act out a scene.' Mr. Dig said, waking Lizzie up from here dream about asking Gordo out.
'Huh? It was a dream? Sorry Mr. Dig, I went camping with my family and got home late last night.' Lizzie half-sleepily told her teacher.
The day finally did come to an end, it was really now time for Lizzie to tell Gordo about how she feels. Lizzie had convinced Miranda not to walk home with Gordo and herself.
'Lizzie, you look a bit tense, what's the problem?' Gordo asked.
Toon Lizzie: 'Come on, you can do this.'
'Gordo… I just wanted to let you know… that… I think… your… What I'm trying to say is…' Lizzie stuttered out
'Lizzie I understand and know what you're trying to say.' Gordo said
'You do?' Lizzie shocked to hear.
'Yeah, Kate told me, I don't know why, but she told me and the answer is yes.'
'Kate? Yes?'
'She told me that you wanted to do that Macbeth project with me.'
'Oh, yeah that's it.' Lizzie said, a bit down.
'Lizzie, did you have something else to tell me?'
'No.'
Toon Lizzie: 'Grrr… you do!'
'I mean yes! Gordo, I couldn't have a better friend than you. I love the way you're an individual, I love the way you care for others and I love the way you're a great friend.' Lizzie told him.
'Thanks Lizzie.' Gordo thanked her, a bit embarrassed. 'You're a good friend as well.'
They both walked down the road, smiles on faces, thinking how much they like the other one, but too scared to really tell the other how they feel, but too happy not to be upset about it. They were best friends and that's what counted.
