Okay, before I go into detail about what happened today, let me back up. Around Valentines day, Lizzie got her first boyfriend. His name was Ronny. Ronny went to a different school than we do, and they met through Ronny's paper route. He gave her this ring and she was so happy. I was happy for her-as long as she was having a good time with life then so was I. Then one day, I saw them kissing, and it broke my heart. I never said anything about it to Lizzie, or even Miranda. Then, about a week later, I found Lizzie in the library, skipping lunch. She was ripping up pieces of paper and crying her eyes out. I kind of figured what happened, but I didn't just come right out and say it. After sitting there for a little while, she told me that Ronny broke up with her because there's another girl at his school. She said that she's probably smarter, prettier, and more fun to be with than her. I told her that there's nobody prettier or more fun to be around. (notice I left out smarter? There's a reason Lizzie needs a math tutor! But I love her anyway,despite all that.) The whole "Gordo, you're such a sweet guy" thing came back around, like it always does. It seems like that's all I'll ever be.
Anyway, back to today's events. It's a Saturday, and I've been doing nothing but laying around my house, watching TV and debating on calling Lizzie. I'm in the middle of watching America's Funniest Home Videos (haha.) when my mom comes into the living room and hands me the telephone. It's Lizzie, and when I hear her voice I immediately perk up. She says that she called because I'll "never guess who had the nerve to call" her today. Ronny. The same, stupid, Ronny that dumped the greatest girl you could ever meet. I wasn't shocked...I knew that sonner or later, Ronny would figure out what he let go of. She told me that he was taking up his old paper route, and hopefully she'd still have feelings for him, because he still had them for her. She firmly, but gracefully let him down, telling her that she moved on from him a while back. I was really proud of her, and besides, hearing her say that kind of sparked something in my heart. She told me that she misses having a boyfriend...somebody to talk to for hours at a time, tell everything to, walk down the hallways with, spend the weekends together. Doesn't she realize that we do that stuff together anyways? Why can't she see that we're perfect for each other? Why doesn't she understand that I'm everything AND MORE that she's looking for? I compliment everything about her, in every way, and she just doesn't get it. I only have two more days, and then I can let everything out. Just wait, Gordo...only two more days.
