Authors note: Well, I got your reviews. I took them into consideration. 1)
I love the response I'm getting. So positive. 2) To all the reviewers
wanting more dialogue don't worry. You only had to wait one more chapter,
and here it is. I had planned this one to have lots of dialogue in it from
the beginning, so I'm way ahead of you. Hope you like it! 3) Finally, to
the Shaniqua girl, you need to get a life, if this is how you spend your
time. Reading a Lizzie story so you can flame it. Oh, and uh, one more
thing Shaniqua. Just because I'm a guy and like Romance, does not make me
gay. Now that that's out of the way. On w/ the story.
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
Lizzie looked out her window, at the beautiful sunny morning. This was the day. She was going to tell Gordo how she felt. She made sure she looked perfect again, and walked down the stairs. She went into the kitchen, with a smile on her face, and grabbed a box of cereal. She looked up and saw her mom, looking perplexed at her. She asked her what the matter was.
"Well.I mean, look at you. Your so, dolled up today." Said Lizzie's mom.
"Yeah, what's the big deal?" Replied Lizzie.
"And you have been acting very strange lately. Is this about a crush on a boy?"
Lizzie's heart started to beat a little faster.
"Yeah mom. It-it is a crush."
A crush? It was a little more than a crush. This was an infatuation that was driving her up the wall.
"Well who is it Lizzie?"
"I-I don't want to tell you."
"You don't? Well, I could just guess. Now let's see. Hmm.It's Gordo isn't it?"
Lizzie's eyes widened, and her head quickly turned to Matt, who had a shocked look on his face.
"Why would you tell her Matt?" She yelled.
"I didn't tell here!" Said Matt, defensively.
She looked at her mom.
"Calm down Lizzie. Matt didn't say anything to me."
He didn't? If Matt didn't tell her mom, then how did.
"How did you know it was Gordo?"
"Mother's intuition Lizzie. Mother's intuition."
"What?"
"Look, I've seen the way he acts around you. I knew it would only be a matter of time before you caught on. I really knew it when I saw you two bundled up in that blanket together yesterday."
Moms always seem to know this stuff. Lizzie apologized to Matt for yelling at him. He told her not to worry about it. She ran upstairs to call Gordo. She reached for the phone, but before she could pick it up, it rang. Her hand started to shake, in hopes that it would be Gordo on the other end. She picked it up, and sure enough it was her, scraggily haired best friend on the other end.
GORDO'S P.O.V.
"Hey Lizzie. I'm pretty bored. You want to do something today?" Said Gordo.
"Yeah I'd love too! Uh, I mean. Sure, what?" Replied Lizzie.
Gordo couldn't miss that hint of excitement in her voice. He really started to believe that Lizzie liked him back, but as the case has been, he was still fairly unsure.
"Well.There's really not to much to do in this town. Why don't we go walk around the mall?" Suggested Gordo.
"Sounds good! I'll meet you at your house." Answered Lizzie.
"All right. See you later."
"Sure thing!"
He heard a click, and hung up the phone and ran into the bathroom. He fixed his hair, brushed his teeth, and put a little bit of cologne on; something he wasn't too used to doing. After the blanket thing yesterday, he felt really good about saying something. He was up early again thinking things through and decided that this was the day that he was going to tell her. Whatever response he would get, he would sort out when the time came.
A few hours went by, and finally it was the afternoon. That's when he heard a knock at the door. He opened it, and saw Lizzie. She was even more beautiful today than she was yesterday. He hair flowed in the wind. She was wearing a light blue short sleeved shirt, with a skirt that went just above the knees. Her brown eyes seemed to sparkle in the afternoon sunlight.
"You ready to go?" Asked Lizzie.
"Yeah!" Replied Gordo.
The mall was, like the lake, in walking distance of their neighborhood, so it wasn't a big deal not getting a ride there. Besides, Gordo got to spend even more time with just Lizzie.
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
She walked right next to Gordo, trying not to be to far away from him. Lizzie practically melted at the smell of Gordo's cologne. Since when did he start wearing cologne? She let her hand fall to her side, so it was close to Gordo's. Their hands brushed up against each other's, and they quickly pulled them away. Lizzie was blushing like crazy. She wished that she could have just grabbed Gordo's hand, instead of pulling hers away. She saw the mall up ahead.
They entered the bustling shopping center and walked around. They passed by a clothing store. Gordo asked if she wanted to go in, but Lizzie knew that Gordo probably wouldn't have enjoyed it to much. They passed by a video game store, and she asked Gordo if he wanted to go in, even though she didn't want to at all.
"No, it's ok Lizzie. I know how much you hate those type of things." He said, "Why don't we just get a bite to eat?"
Lizzie loved how sweet Gordo was, always putting her first. They sat down to eat at a table after getting some food from the food court.
END. P.O.V.
They both wanted to tell each other how they felt. Maybe as they ate, one of them would be able to. Over a little ways, out of their site, Kate was talking to a group of her friends.
"That's a great idea!" Said Kate, to her friends, "If I can't be happy with Ethan, than Lizzie and Gordo can never be happy!"
"Come on Kate! Do it! We dare you!" Said one of the friends.
Kate hid behind some bushes, scheming against the two lovebirds. Kate may have helped Lizzie realized that Gordo liked her, the other night, but she was not going to shot down by Ethan, and not get some type of restitution! Lizzie got up to refill her drink. This was Kate's move. She got up went over to Gordo, grabbed him, and kissed him. Gordo would have reacted if it weren't for him being so shocked. She held her lips to his, until Lizzie came back to witness this. Lizzie dropped her drink onto the floor at the sight of it.
"G-Gordo? And Kate?" She said.
Gordo stammered to say something, but Kate clasped his mouth shut. Her being taller than him also made her fairly stronger than him, so Gordo couldn't pry his mouth open from her grasp. Lizzie would have realized this, if it didn't feel like her heart had been shattered into a million pieces.
"Thanks for the kiss Gordo. I didn't think you would kiss me like that."
Did Lizzie hear this right? Gordo kissed her?
"That's right. Gordy and me are a couple. And he brought you here to show you personally."
Lizzie tried to fight back immense tears. She wanted to yell how much she hated Gordo right now. Instead, she ran out of the mall. Gordo, finally free of Kate's hand, shot up from the table.
"LIZZIE WAIT!" He yelled, and then he looked at Kate, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT? WHY DID YOU SAY THAT? NONE OF IT WAS TRUE!"
Kate had an evil sneer on her face. As she watched this event unfold right in front of her eyes. It was too good to be true! Her glee suddenly ended, when she noticed the cold, angry look Gordo was giving her.
"Kate. I know you can be mean, but that was going too far."
Gordo noticed Ethan walking with another girl, and something came out of Gordo's mouth that surprised even him.
"THAT IS WHY EVERYONE, EVEN ETHAN, HATES YOU. THAT IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER BE WITH HIM." He looked coldly at Kate again, "That is why you will always be alone."
Kate had a shocked look on her face. Gordo ran out of the mall, but didn't see Lizzie anywhere. Very disappointed, he began his walk home.
