Chapter One-The new Gordo

"Something is going to change this year," I thought to my self as I looked myself over in the mirror, "I don't know what, but I can feel it, something is going to change." I stood there for a while, just looking over my outfit and thinking. Then I snapped back to reality as my phone rang.

"LIZZIE! Could you possibly come over right before we go on the bus? I really need help! I'm having a crisis here," Miranda, my best friend, yelled into the phone. I held it a little ways away from my ear and rolled my eyes. This always happened the first day of school. Miranda can never figure out what to wear, and she always needs my help to figure out what the "perfect" outfit is.

"Sure, whatever Mir, I'll be there in a few ok? I gotta eat something quick." I said, brushing my hair away from my eyes.

"Ok, just HURRY!" Miranda screamed, then she slammed down the phone. I rolled my eyes again, she can be such a drama queen, and picked up my backpack and put it on my shoulder. I looked over my reflection one more time, and then I ran downstairs. I quickly poured myself some cereal and ate it as fast as I could. Then I pushed back from the table and was about to head out the door when my mom called me.

"Lizzie! Your bus doesn't come for fifteen minutes!" She called, putting both hands on her hips.

"I know, I know, Miranda just wanted me to go over her house before the bus came. Bye!" I ran out the door. I didn't feel like playing "twenty questions" with Mom. I walked quickly over to Miranda's house, and rang the doorbell. The door flew open and Miranda grabbed my wrist and pulled me into her house, and up the stairs.

"Finally! I thought you had forgotten or something!!" She exclaimed. "Ok, now which outfit should I wear? This one," She said, holding up a pair of baggy army motif pants and a small black top that said "Evil", "Or this one," she asked, holding up a cute short denim skirt, a white t-shirt with red sleeves that said "It's all about me!" black fishnets, and big clunky Steve Maddens.

"A 'hello' would be nice," I said, rolling my eyes while sitting down on her bed, "And definitely the second one, but ditch the fishnets. And for your hair, you should wear that red bandana, but rolled up headband style. I don't think you have time to crimp your hair though."

"Oh my God, thank you so much Lizzie! I'll be right back ok? You can get online or something while you wait." She said, running into her bathroom. I logged onto her computer and got onto Miranda's screen name, because I didn't feel like going on my own. Gordo, my other best friend, was on. We haven't talked to each other ever since he went to camp in early August. He had gotten back two days ago but I hadn't had been able to see him yet.

TheMan9283: hey Miranda! Mir4524: No actually this is Lizzie. TheMan9283:Oh, hey! But why are you using Miranda's screen name? Mir4524: Because I'm at her house. TheMan9283: She's having another crisis isn't she? Mir4524: lol yeah she is. Ha ha. But I came to the rescue! ( TheMan9283: You always do Mir4524: Yeah that's me, Super Lizzie! ( TheMan9283: (, well I gtg now. See you on the bus. Mir4524: Lol, ya see you then! Can't wait! TheMan9283 has signed off

I signed off, and sighed. Miranda was taking forever, as usual. I thought back on my conversation with Gordo. I've known him forever and we have been best friends for equally as long, but over the summer before he went off to camp, I started noticing every time I saw him, my breath would catch in my throat and my heart would start pounding a little faster. I hadn't told anyone, but I thought I had started to like Gordo as more than a friend. If I told Miranda she would definitely tell him. Plus I had been noticing Miranda looking at Gordo when she thought no one is looking, and the look in her eyes was definitely sending some "I like him more than a friend" vibes. Anyways, I bet Gordo would totally freak out if he found out. I'm going to keep quiet, at least for now. Miranda came out of her bathroom, put one hand on her hip and the other on the back of her head, threw her head back, turned to the side, and stuck the hip with her hand on it out.

"Voila! Sorry I took so long! And oh, your outfit is so cool!" She exclaimed. I looked down at my clothes. I was wearing ultra-low rise faded jeans that flared at the bottom and a light blue sparkly tank top that said "Angel, or Devil?" I had kept my hair down and let it wave naturally.

"Well, let's go now!" I said, walking towards her door. She followed me, and we walked towards the bus stop making predictions about how people might have changed.

"I think Tudgeman will have become the next Ethan Craft! And Kate, well she'll like fall in love with him but he won't take her because she's not a book worm!" Miranda said, laughing at the image.

"Yeah," I said, laughing too, "and then she'll start wearing plaid skirts, button up oxford shirts, tucked in, and glasses! And she'll walk around with her nose in a book, just to get the Tudge's attention!"

As we rounded the corner that our bus stop was on, my breath caught in my throat. Because standing there was Gordo. But this was not the same Gordo I knew. He had grown a couple of inches, and his skin was several shades darker. Sure, his dark curls might have still been falling into his eyes, but I had always liked his hair like that. I had always had to fight the urge to brush it away. He had become so hot! Sure, I had always thought he was cute, but that was just me. Now I thought even Kate would consider him a hottie too. I could tell Miranda was acting the same way.

"Lizzie! Miranda! Hey!" He said, pulling Miranda into a quick hug, than hugging me, but a little longer than Miranda. My skin tingled from his touch. He loosened his grip on me a little; his arms still around my waist, and said, "Happy to see me?" God, I could've died, his voice was so deep and sexy!

"Oh yeah," I said, smiling up at him, letting go of him as our bus pulled up. We stood there for a bit, just smiling at each other.

Then Miranda said, "Come on you two love birds, or the bus will leave without you!" I went into the bus, and grabbed the seat next to Miranda. Gordo sat behind us and started fiddling with his video camera, not listening to us.

"Love birds? What did you mean by love birds?" I exclaimed to Miranda.

"Isn't it obvious? You two obviously like each other! Come on, don't you have at least a itsy bitsy crush on him?" Miranda said, looking straight at me.

"Miranda! Me and Gordo are just friends ok? Even if I did, I don't think, he would like me back, we're way too good of friends!" I said, blushing a little, but looking Miranda straight in the eyes. I couldn't believe it, Miranda actually looked relieved!

Then Gordo said, "Are you to done with you're conversation?" I nearly died! How long had he been listening?

"G-Gordo! How long have you been listening?" I asked, looking over at Miranda, my cheeks even redder than before.

"Nope, I didn't, don't worry!" Gordo said, smiling right at me. The bus stopped at our school and Miranda, Gordo, and I got of the bus together. We walked into the school, waving and saying "hi" to people we hadn't seen all summer.

Then Gordo whipped out his camera and said to Miranda, "Ok, you first, say something profound about the beginning of our sophomore year."

As Miranda rolled her eyes and held her hand up in front of the camera's lens, I thought to myself, "At least one thing didn't change about Gordo!"
