What Almost Was
Chapter 2: Girl Talk with the Exception of Gordo
Lizzie quickly hurried home after the sound of the last bell sounded throughout the school halls. She was in such a hurry to get home and call her friends that she didn't look where she was going. *SMACK*
"Watch where you're going loser," Kate rubbed her head ruefully as she gathered her scattered items.
"Ok, bitch. Loved to stay and chat, but I really can't" Lizzie smiled down at Kate. Normally, Lizzie wouldn't dare start such a confrontation but she was is such a good mood that she didn't care if she got her ass kicked.
"What's with the new found attitude McGuire?" Kate spat, putting her hands on her hips.
"Oh nothing really. I just realized that I don't need to take any shit from a Barbie wanna be or anybody for that matter," Lizzie faked a smile.
"Did you just call me 'Barbie wanna be'?" Kate sauntered towards Lizzie menacingly.
Lizzie, however, wasn't phased in the least, "Um Hmmm, let me think. Yeah actually, I did."
"Oh, Barbie so couldn't look like this if she tried.," she motioned her hands up and down her body.
"Yeah, ok. Buh-bye," Lizzie waved a hand at her and walked off.
"Yeah, well...screw you." Kate yelled after her. However, seeing that her words had no affect on Lizzie she glared and muttered under her breath "Stupid bitch."
Lizzie feeling a little prouder than usual, walked home with a confident look about her. She had had the best day and nobody was going to take that away from her. Today was the day that she was invited on her first date, and with Jonathan nonetheless. Her smile broadened a little as she thought about how he had proposed to idea to her. Giving her a little chill down her spine, he whispered into her ear with that sexy accent of his "So, are you free the Friday night?" Just thinking about it made her involuntarily shiver with delight.
'I wonder how Miranda will take the news.' Lizzie's frowned and stopped 'I don't know whether or not she has a thing for him. I pray to God she'll be happy for me.' With this last thought she pounded up the porch and opened the door to her house. "Mom, I'm home" she called into the kitchen.
"Oh, hi honey. Did you have a good day at school," Jo McGuire turned around from the dishes and faced her now beaming daughter.
"The best," Lizzie grinned from ear to ear.
"So, are you going to tell me why? Or are you just going to stand there and smile like loony all day," Jo raised her eyebrows at her daughter.
"Well, I don't know mom. Are you trustworthy," Lizzie sat down on the barstool facing the counter.
"I have cookies," she motioned towards the oven with her cooking mit that read 'Kiss the Chef'.
"Fair enough," Lizzie inhaled the scent of peanut butter cookies, "Well, there's this new English boy at our school named Jonathan Darvey. And he's soooo freakin' hot. And guess what?"
"You have a crush on him," Jo placed the baking pan down on the counter and turned the fan on to cool off the cookies.
"Well besides the obvious. He asked me out for this Friday night," she squealed as she grabbed a cookie, but soon dropped it upon feeling how hot it was.
"And," Jo pulled up a chair next to Lizzie.
"And, what? That's it," Lizzie looked confused.
"How old are you," she raised her eyes for the billionth time that day while she popped a cookie into her mouth.
"Um, 13 ½ " she quietly stated.
"And you know the rules,no dating till you're in high school."
"Oh come on mom! You were my age when dad first started taking you out to the movies. How is that fair?" Lizzie moaned and whined.
"That was different, we were with a group of friends."
"Well if Gordo and Miranda come too can I go?," Lizzie asked hopefully.
"Well, ok. Fine," she picked up the plate of cookies and set them on the table. "But you'll have to confirm it with your father first."
"Thanks mom. You're the best," Lizzie threw her arms around her mom and gave her a bear hug. "I'm going to go call Miranda and Gordo," she dashed up the stairs and into her room.
"Oh sure. I'm only the good guy when I have cookies," Jo picked up another cookie and bit some off.

"Hello," Miranda answered the phone.
"Hi, it's me. Hold on a sec, I'm going to three way you with Gordo," pressing flash and dialing Gordo she heard him answer. "Hold on real quick Gordo, Miranda's on the other end." She pushed flash again and they all were finally connected.
"So, what's up Lizzie?" Miranda inquired.
"You'll never guess what happened," Lizzie was once again beaming with delight.
"Batboy has escaped and is lose in New York City?" Gordo guessed.
"No, better." Lizzie dryly answered.
"Kate Sanders has finally admitted to being a transvestite," Miranda sent the three into fits of giggles.
"Not yet," Lizzie stated, "Jonathan asked me out today."
"Really, oh I knew he had it for you," Miranda squealed."I'm so happy for you!"
"Really, you're not jealous?," Lizzie sheepishly asked.
"Jealous, why would I be?" Miranda sounded shocked at the accusation.
"Good. I thought you had a thing for him too," Lizzie sighed with relief.
"No. I mean he's cute and everything, but I totally intended him for you when I introduced him. Besides, there's only one man for me. Ethan," she dreamily sighed.
"Gordo, you there still?," Lizzie was concerned because Gordo had remained silent for the last two minutes of the phone conversation.
"Yeah, I'm here," he gloomily replied. He sounded much like Eeyore at that moment, to Lizzie at least.
"You ok, Gordo?" Miranda was a little concerned too.
"Yeah, I just have a really bad headache. Sorry, I'm listening," he tried his best to sound more cheerful, but it came out sounding like he was annoyed.
"Anywho,mom and dad say I can't go unless I'm accompanied by other friends. So, you guys wanna help a friend in need?" she crossed her fingers and prayed they'd say 'yes'.
"Yeah, sure. Anything for my best friend," Miranda was just as excited as Lizzie was.
"Um, I'm busy Friday night. Sorry. I gotta go you guys. I'll talk to you later," Gordo quickly ended his part of the conversation.
"Ok,bye," they both replied as he hung up the other end of the line.
"He's acting weird. Oh well,what are you going to wear,"Miranda and Lizzie spent a half an hour discussing what they were going to wear, where they we're going and what they would do.
That night was the beginning of the now infamous relationship between Jonathan Darvey and Lizzie McGuire.
