Lizzie POV

I flopped down on my bed. It was so confusing. I couldn't stop thinking about him.

Gordo.

I mean, why the heck was I thinking about him? He was my best friend. But the ways I was thinking about him were not how best friends acted.

Did best friends think about each other's smile?

I mean, I had just noticed it. Just in that one split second, right before I told him he was a good dancer. He had the greatest smile. And the greatest eyes...

Animated Lizzie: Oh, no, don't you dare. You do not have a crush on-Gordo. Whoa, that sounds weird.

I tried to shove him out of my head, but he just came popping back. And finally, I fell asleep, still thinking about him.

Gordo POV

I banged my head on the wall. What was I thinking? I should have made my move, right there, on the roof, when we were both on the bench. If I had just had the guts... there was no telling what could have happened.

I frowned. I had to watch Lizzie and Paolo dance the next day. I had promised Lizzie. I was not looking forward to that. The only time we'd have alone was... on the car ride there. Lizzie's black convertible was picking us up.

I rolled my eyes and went to bed.

No POV

Lizzie and Gordo awakened around the same time. They got dress and met each other downstairs.

"You said eight o'clock, right?" He asked.

"Yeah. The car should be here any second now..."

The car pulled up. Gordo raised his eyebrows. It was cool. He'd always wanted a car like this. It was raining, so the driver had to put the top up. As the car started up, Gordo glanced at Lizzie to see what she was doing.

Lizzie was playing with the zipper on her coat, but then she got the urge to look at Gordo and see that smile again. She knew it was crazy, but it was the truth.

Gordo looked away as soon as he saw her tilt her head towards him. He looked out at the window. And when we thought she wasn't looking, he stared at her again.

Lizzie glanced away as she saw Gordo stir.

They kept on doing this for about ten minutes, and the driver, who was looking at them in the rearview mirror, had to fight the urge to stat chuckling. It was obvious they liked each other, and didn't want to admit it.

They finally approached the dance studio, and the driver let them out, shaking his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe their eyes didn't meet like it always did in the movies.

But he knew they would someday.

A/N: *sighs*Another short chapter. How do you like it so far? It's really close to the end. I'm sorry, but I'll probably have to rush things from now on. Things will happen faster now, so the story doesn't get dragging or boring. If I work hard, It might be done by... the 13th. So, wish me luck!
