~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter 4: Not Talking To You

I woke up to the sound of yelling. The only thing is, it wasn't coming from our room. I got up & put my robe on & walked out into the hallway. It was coming from Room 301. Gordo's Room.

"You'd better watch what you say Cory!" I heard Gordo say. "I SWEAR, if you touch her."

"You'll what?" Cory asked with sarcasm. "Put my on tape?" He laughed.

"Gordo!" I heard Travis say. "He's not worth it."

"Let me go Travis!" Gordo yelled at him.

"Just don't hit him." Travis said back.

"Whatever." Gordo said opening the door. He walked out & slammed it shut. He jumped when he saw me. "Lizzie? What are you doing out here?"

"Touch who?" I asked.

"Huh?"

"If Cory touches who?" I asked again.

"Oh, no one." He said blushing.

"THAT didn't sound like no one." I stated.

"You REALLY want to know?" He asked.

"Yes, I do."

"You." He said.

"What?"

"You. If he touches you."

"What? I can't take care of myself?!" I said, angry.

"You should have heard him, Lizzie!" Gordo said defending himself.

"You know what? I don't want to hear it." I said walking back into my room.

"Lizzie! Wait!" He said but I was already closing the door.

"What was that about?" Miranda asked me from her bed.

"I have two immature boys fighting for me." I said walking back to my bed.

"Really? Who?" Kate asked.

"Gordo & Cory." I said climbing back in bed.

"AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW!" C.J. said.

"Not 'AAAAAWWWWWW' I'm upset with Gordo. He thinks I can't take care of myself!" I said.

"He loves you, McGuire." Kate said.

"Yeah & pigs can fly!" I said.

"Well, they better start growing their wings!" Miranda said.

"What makes you say that?" I asked.

"Get a clue!" Kate yelled at me. "Like I told you in 8th grade! You obviously forgot that issue!"

"Gordo & I talked about that. He's over it." I said.

"No, he's not." Miranda stated, shaking her head.

"He told me so at the beginning of the year, when he started dating that Parker chic." I grunted.

"He only did that so you would think he was over you. He never really liked Parker." Kate said.

"Who would? She's weird!" Miranda said.

"Then, why doesn't he say so?" I asked.

"Probably because he thinks you don't like him." C.J. guessed.

"Right on the button!" Miranda said.

"Well, he's wrong." I said. Then realizing I had said that out loud I covered my mouth.

"This is SO perfect!" Miranda screamed.

"So not! I'm mad at him!" I rolled my eyes.

After breakfast, which I did not go to, we got ready to go to the beach. I wasn't too happy about it because that would mean I would have to talk to Gordo. Which I did not want to do. Since the beach DID look so welcoming, I agreed. I wasn't going to let Gordo ruin my good time here in Hawaii.

I put on my Hawaiian print bikini & rapped my towel around my waist. I slipped my flip-flops on, grabbed my book, sunglasses, & suntan lotion. As the four of us were walking down to the beach, the boys caught up with us. Kate walked ahead with Ethan, Miranda walked behind with Travis, & C.J. walked with Chaz. So that left me with Creepy Cory & Gordo.

Cory then tried putting his arm around me. Gordo looked like he was trying not to kill Cory right there.

"Cory?" I asked.

"Yes, babe?" He asked back.

"Excuse me!?" I stopped in my tracks. Everyone else stopped to watch me tell him off. "One, don't EVER call me babe if you don't want you ass kicked. Two, don't put your arm around me if you don't want it ripped off!" I smiled at him & walked away.

He ran back up to me. "Come on."

"THREE, don't come within a 5 ft radius of me if you don't want your ass kicked AND both of your arms ripped off! And I SWEAR I will." I yelled at him. He backed away. "I said 5 ft!" He backed away more. "Thank you." I walked away quickly so I wouldn't have to talk to Gordo.

Down at the beach, as I was reading, I saw Gordo, out of the corner of my eye, walking over to me. Just then, a handsome boy about my age, sat down next to me on the sand.

"Can I help you?" I asked him, smiling.

"You can, actually." He smiled back. "I was just wondering what your name might be."

"Well," I started. I looked back out of the corner of my eye to see Gordo just watching us. "I'll tell you if you tell me yours."

"Alright, then." He had an elegant British accent. His bright green eyes bored into mine. "Ryan Tending." He smiled.

"Lizzie McGuire." I smiled back.

"You're here for the Florida High Schools Trip?" He asked.

"How did you know about that?" I asked.

"I have my ways." He said. "Besides, my father is the owner of the hotel you're staying at."

"Well, then, yes. I am here for the Florida trip." I stated.

"Good." He said. "Well, I'd better be going. Hope to see you soon."

"Right back at ya." I smiled at him as he got up & walked away. Then Gordo came over & sat down. I picked my book up & started to read again. "What do you what?"

"So sorry to disturb you." He said, nastily. "Shall I back up 5 feet the talk to you?"

"Perhaps." I said putting my book down.

"Well, you'll have to kick my ass first!" He smiled.

I laughed. "Okay, okay. Sit down."

"Thank you." He sat down. "So, who was THAT?"

"Ryan Tending. His father owns the hotel we are staying at." I stated. "Why do you ask? Are you jealous?"

He smiled. "In your dreams, McGuire!"

"You wish!" I laughed.

"Yep, that's it. I dream about you every night." He laughed.

"Hahaha. VERY funny!" I said.

"Your not mad at me?" He asked, outing on a puppy dog face.

"I guess not." I shrugged. He smiled.
