Chapter Two

Lizzie walked into her house and flopped down on the couch. What was Miranda's problem? She wanted to apologize, she hated fighting with her friends, but what had happened actually wasn't her fault…well, maybe just a little. But Miranda had no reason to snap at her! She was just being a caring friend!

She flipped through the channels on TV and found nothing good on. She dragged herself off of the couch and wandered into the kitchen. She usually had a snack after school, usually cookies or chips. But not today, it was the first day of her new diet. Maybe she'd even go for a run around the block.

She went upstairs to change into something more fit for running. Matt's door was  closed and thumps were coming out of it. Being the sister that she was, she was naturally curious and put her ear up to the door.

"Come on Lanny, it's fool proof! We'll make a ton of money, and then we can go to Australia!" Matt was saying. For a split second, Lizzie wondered what it was they were talking about, then decided she'd be safer not knowing.

She continued into her room and changed into a tank top and some shorts. She put her hair up into a high ponytail and put on a little bit of makeup. She was ready. She walked back out, hearing and ignoring the strange sounds coming from Matt's room. Remembering all the movies with runners she'd ever seen, Lizzie grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge.

"MOM, I'M GOING OUT!" she yelled.

"BE BACK FOR DINNER!" came the reply.

Lizzie said okay and then she went out the front door.

She started out at a fast walk and then went a little bit faster. Before long, she was flat out running as fast as she could. She rounded a corner and smacked right into Gordo.

They were both sprawled out on the pavement. Gordo got up first and held out a hand to help Lizzie up.

"Gordo!" She cried, taking his hand. "What are you doing here?"

Gordo looked at her for a moment. "This is my house." He said finally.

Lizzie looked behind him, and sure enough, that was Gordo's house. "Oh." She blushed a little.

"Right, so what are you doing?" Gordo asked, walking with her down the road a little.

"Oh, I'm just going for a run." She replied. "I'm starting my diet to today."

"Lizzie, are you sure you want to do that? I mean, if Ethan doesn't like you because you're not a toothpick, he's not worthy anyway. He should like you because you're smart, or funny, or fun to be with." Lizzie crossed her arms.

"Gordo, I'm a big girl!" she said. "I can take care of my self. Trust me, I'll be fine. I've already told you, it's not like I'm starving my self or anything! I'm just exercising!"

"I'm just worried is all. You remember what happened with Miranda-"

Lizzie cut him off before he could finish. "Is that why Miranda won't talk to you? Because you brought that up again?"

"No." Gordo said shortly. "It's nothing to do with that."

"Fine, whatever. Anyway, did you see that skirt that girl Lauren had on today?" Lizzie asked.

"Liz, I'm not one of your girlfriends, I don't pay attention to people's clothes." Gordo replied with a sigh. "And who's Lauren?"

Lizzie shrugged. "Straight brown hair, blue eyes. She's totally in love with you."

"Oh THAT Lauren. But no, I didn't see her skirt. I'm so sorry." He said the sorry dramatically, one hand flopped on his forehead.

Lizzie giggled, then glanced at her watch. "I have to be home in about five minuets. See you later Gordo." She said, and jogged off.

Gordo stared after her dreamily for a moment, then walked back inside his house for dinner. He didn't know he had been talking to Lizzie for so long. But he loved it.

Back with Lizzie, she was deep in thought.

*"I don't like Gordo do I?" TL(Toon Lizzie)flops down on a big mattress. "But if I don't why do I feel that-that rush every time I'm around him?" The room she's in fills up with water, the mattress floating. "Time to call in the professionals." She floats over to a door that has "Dr. Mom" written on the door and knocks.*

"Mom?" Lizzie asked as she walked into the house. "Can I talk to you?"

Lauren is the new character I introduced in this chapter, she's not main but she's not a character you mention once and drop forever.

Also, the answer to the phrase was- Oh well. Please review, I'd appreciate it a lot!
