No Such Thing
Chapter 11: The Mystery Man
Lizzie arrived at the Gordons' at 4:50. Gordo emerged from his house, smiling like an idiot as he got into the car.
"Hey!" he exclaimed.
"Hey." She replied. "You're sure in a good mood."
"Why wouldn't I be?" he asked. "I finished my final film project for the year, and I'm headed out for a fun time with my very best friend!" Gordo really was excited. He was spending the entire night alone with Lizzie, and he had finally thought of a way to explain how he felt. Life was good.
"Since when did you become such a "the glass is half-full person"?" asked Lizzie.
"Well, after you've seen what goes on in the real world, the poverty, the sickness, people with nothing, you learn to appreciate what you have." He remarked. "And I have you, a great friend."
"Aww! You are too sweet Gordo." Replied Lizzie. "I am actually looking forward to tonight too."
"Good!" he exclaimed.
Half an hour later, they were standing on the sidelines at the high school field, cheering on Matt.
"Wow!" remarked Gordo. "He's really good!"
"I know!" Lizzie responded. "Isn't it shocking?"
They both laughed. During the next 45 minutes, Matt managed to score not 3, but 4 goals, leading the team to a 6-3 win over the visitors.
"And that's another win for the Eagles!!" cheered the announcer. "They have made it to the semi finals thanks to forward Matt McGuire!"
Everyone was screaming, and cheering for the team. Lizzie could feel the energy from the crowd. She and Gordo had gotten separated from her parents, and Lizzie was scanning the crowd for them. She finally caught sight of her mom.
"Mom!" she called.
"Yeah sweetie?" asked her mother as she neared Lizzie.
"Gordo and I are going to go back to the house and get a pizza and a movie. That ok? Asked Lizzie.
"Definitely! Have fun! Matt's going to the Digital Bean with the team, and then sleeping over Lanny's, they have no school tomorrow. Dad and I are going to grab a bite and catch a movie after the meeting, so we'll be kind of late." Replied Jo.
"That's ok." Piped in Gordo. "If you want, I can stay to you come home. Then Lizzie won't have to be by herself."
"That'd be fine." Replied Jo.
"Yeah." Remarked Sam. "I can bring you home when we get back."
"Ok." Replied Gordo.
"Here Lizzie." Said Sam, handing her money. "For pizza."
"Thanks Dad!" she replied.
"Have fun guys!" called Jo, as they walked towards the car.
15 minutes later, Lizzie and Gordo were at Blockbuster, picking out a movie. Lizzie reached for the latest horror flick.
"Look Gordo! It's Midnight Terror!" Lizzie exclaimed.
"Oh no, we are not renting any movie with the word Terror in the title." He retorted, knowing Lizzie's history with horror movies.
"Oh come on!" she whined.
"Lizzie, do I need to remind you what happened when we watched The Shining?" Gordo asked, rhetorically. "You and Miranda hid under a blanket and kept yelling 'is it over?'. And it wasn't even that scary!"
"That was ages ago! I was a little kid." She protested.
"You were 17 years old!" exclaimed Gordo.
"Whatever. I am a college student now. I think I can handle a cheesy teen horror movie." She remarked.
"Whatever you say." Said Gordo. "But when you wake up with nightmares about horrible acting and bad fake blood, don't say I didn't warn you."
Lizzie rolled her eyes, and playfully punched Gordo on the arm. "Hey, you want to go eat at the pizza place? It'll be quicker than if we get it delivered!"
"Sure." Replied Gordo. "I'm starving!"
Half an hour later, they were eating a large pepperoni pizza and guzzling cokes at Pizza Palace. They were laughing and talking and having a great time. Then, just as Lizzie had taken a huge bite out of her slice of pizza, with cheese hanging out of her mouth, she looked up.
"Gordo!" she exclaimed, as she kicked him under the table. "Look who'd here!"
Gordo glanced up at the entrance to the resteraunt. The person standing at the counter looked over, and started walking towards their table.
TBC!!!!
Hehe! A cliffie!
