Thanks to everyone who reviewed!
Jordan looked very surprised at this new bit of information. "You never told me you had a girlfriend, Gordo."
"Well, I've only known you for what, four periods? It never came up."
"I just figured you'd have mentioned it. I know if I was dating such a beautiful girl I would have said something."
Lizzie felt herself turning red, and Miranda nudged her from behind. "He likes you!" Miranda whispered.
"He's only known me for two minutes! Not even! How would he like me that fast?" Lizzie whispered back.
Miranda laughed. "Well, evidently he likes his first impression of you. A lot!"
"Class! Please look up here; we have some first class junk to go over. I know it's boring, but the department requires it. So please pay attention, and we can accomplish this quickly." The teacher, Mr. Reed, glanced back at Miranda and Gordo. "Can you two please go find your seats?"
They nodded, and went and sat back down. Mr. Reed went off some general rules, grade policies, and an overview of what they would be studying that year.
Lizzie felt a foot rub up against hers. She glanced down and noticed it was Jordan's. He moved it away, much to her relief.
"Every quarter there will be a large project, worth two hundred points. It will vary from quarter to quarter. First quarter, we will be studying film, so you will create a film and we will watch them in class," Mr. Reed droned.
Lizzie felt the foot again. She jerked her foot away. After Jordan went back to listening, she moved her foot back to where it had been.
"Mr. Reed?" Gordo asked, raising his hand.
"Yes, Mr., uh, Gordon?"
"How long should the film be? Is there a minimum or maximum amount of time for the film?"
"I'll go over that when I pass out the project sheets next week. Good question though, Mr. Gordon. Are you into film?"
Gordo nodded, grinning.
Lizzie felt Jordan's foot rubbing hers again, this time it inched its way up her ankle, then back down to her foot. "Please stop," she whispered. He moved his foot away. Lizzie had liked how it had felt, much to her shame. She had a boyfriend, and she knew it. Sitting next to Jordan would prove a problem for her.
After Mr. Reed finished his lecture, he told the class they could quietly get to know the student they were sitting with.
"So, you went to Hillridge, huh?" Jordan's voice sounded very nice, to Lizzie's amusement.
'Why did they stick me with the hot guy?!' "Yeah. I did." 'Great response.'
"So, you known Gordo a long time?"
"Since we were in diapers! I met him when I was a day old! I think we even slept in the same crib at times!" 'OH MY GOSH! I cannot believe I just said that! Could that sound any worse?!' Lizzie cursed herself mentally.
To Lizzie's relief, he laughed. "Interesting. I don't think I've known anyone that long."
'Please let the bell ring!' Five seconds later, it did, and Lizzie jumped out of her seat. She rushed to Miranda.
"See you tomorrow! I'm looking forward to it!" Jordan called after her.
Lizzie sprinted out, hoping Gordo hadn't heard.

The next two classes passed very uneventfully. When Lizzie finally got on the bus to go home, she couldn't be anymore relieved. "No homework? This is great!"
"Enjoy it, cause starting tomorrow you're gonna be so overloaded!" a sophomore behind her said.
Lizzie frowned. "Miranda, I don't want to go to drama tomorrow."
"I don't think Gordo wants you to either. We saw Jordan. Every time he did that, Gordo would get this mad look on his face. Gordo was going to tell him off later on."
"Well, it's so hard! I don't know how I will survive!"
"You'll deal with it somehow."
Lizzie got off the bus a few minutes later. Inside her house was a letter from Mindy. She ran upstairs and opened it.
Dear Lizzie,
Hi! I've missed you! How are you? How's Gordo? And, of course, how is Kate?
High school began last Wednesday for us. It was so weird. The upper classmen all hate us and glare at us when we walk down the hall. Fifty freshmen have been stuffed in lockers so far. Thankfully, I'm not one of them, but I'd like to see them try to get me in a locker. It's a really big building though, from my junior high. We went from one hundred kids in my class to about seven hundred! It's insane!
How's high school for you? I hope it's not as scary! I'm going out for the volleyball team. Tryouts started yesterday. (Thursday) I hope I make it! All the girls are really good, and I'm not sure if I'm good enough.
On the guy front, nope, nothing so far. I'm keeping a watch out though!
Your friend,
Mindy
Lizzie folded the letter again, smiling to herself. She decided to write one back after dinner.
