LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
Lizzie ran into the house, tears rolling down the side of her face. She ran past her parents and Matt, and straight into her room. Locking the door, she threw herself on the bed, and planted her face in her pillow. How could Gordo do that to her? Her best friend.With Kate! Lizzie couldn't stand it. All her thoughts of Gordo were suddenly shattered as she saw the image of Kate kissing him. She hated Gordo for what he did. Sure, he probably didn't have any clue that she liked him, but even to do that to a friend was low. Gordo always went on and on about how mean and stupid Kate is. About how he could never like someone like that witch. She cried in her room for quite sometime. She picked up her yearbook, and saw the picture of Gordo. She ripped out the page and threw it against the wall. Holding a teddy bear, she buried her face again, into her pillow.
GORDO'S P.O.V.
As Gordo walked home, the image of Lizzie's shocked expression burned in his mind. He hated Kate, even more than before. And he didn't think Lizzie's surprise was because she liked him either. Did Lizzie feel betrayed by her best friend? That's exactly what he thought Lizzie believed. He needed to talk to her. When he got home he immediately called Lizzie.
Unfortunately, she didn't answer. Gordo tried a few more times the rest of the day, before finally giving up.
The next day rolled around, and again he tried calling her, but to no avail. After several failed attempts, he decided to just go over to Lizzie's house. He walked out of the house, and began his walk to Lizzie's. It was beginning to get dark, but Gordo had to do something. What would he do? What would he say? It didn't matter. He would get there, and whatever would happen, would happen. He stood at the end of the sidewalk, looking over at Lizzie's front door. He slowly made his way to the door. He knocked and Matt opened it.
"Uh, Hi Matt. Is Lizzie home?" Asked Gordo.
"Yeah she's here. But she's been up in her room the whole time."
"Well, can you ask her to come down here?"
Matt ran upstairs, but wasn't up there long before he came back down.
"She, uh, doesn't want to see you." Said a surprised Matt.
"I need to talk to her!" Gordo said to him, urgently.
Matt contemplated something for a minute, and then looked up at Gordo.
"I have an idea." Said Matt.
He led Gordo up the stairs. They went into his room, and Matt picked up a close pin. He walked over to Lizzie's door, and quite as a mouse, picked the lock. He turned the pin around in the hole; until finally a click was heard. Gordo slowly entered, and saw Lizzie lying on her bed, her face in her pillow.
END P.O.V.
"Lizzie?" Said Gordo.
Her head bolted up, and she looked angrily at Gordo.
"I said I didn't want to see you! Just leave me alone!" Shouted Lizzie.
"No! I won't leave until I get a chance to talk to you!" Said Gordo.
"I don't want to talk to you. You lied to me!"
"What are you talking about?"
"Kate! You always said how gross Kate was, now I find out that you're an item."
"WHAT? That's not what happened at all!"
"Then why did you kiss her??"
"She kissed me!"
"Just leave me alone!"
Gordo walked over to Lizzie.
"No! I am not leaving until you hear me out!"
Without giving Lizzie any chance to respond, he explained everything. Lizzie looked at him shocked.
"There! That is what happened! Do you still not want to talk to me?" Yelled Gordo.
"Well, I-" Said Lizzie, nervously.
"And why were are you getting so upset anyway?"
"It's just-"
"And you're my friend! Why are you acting like this?"
"Because I like you!" Yelled Lizzie, Gordo's mouth closing instantly, "I like you a lot more than a friend Gordo! That's why I acted like that."
She plopped down on her bed and looked down at her feet.
"You-you do?" Asked Gordo.
"Yes. Ever since I found out that you liked me-"
"Wait! You found out that I like you?"
"Yes. At that mystery party."
"Who told you?"
Lizzie thought a second about whether she was going to tell Gordo who it was, or not. She decided not too.
"No one important."
Gordo sat down next to Lizzie, and they were both silent for a minute. Lizzie's head popped up and she ran over to the wall. She picked up a crumpled piece of paper. She opened it, and looked at the picture of Gordo. She sat down next to him. She dropped the paper to the floor, and looked into Gordo's eyes. All the day's events seemed to slip away from both of them when their eyes met. Gordo put his hand onto Lizzie's. She turned her hand over, and grasped his.
"Lizzie.I-I'm sorry I yelled at you."
"No Gordo. I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions."
"I really like you Lizzie. I've wanted to say something for the longest time. When we were at the party, I tried, but couldn't do it. When you were going out with Ronnie, I was so jealous. And well.I guess you could say that I am one 'Confused Guy'."
Lizzie's eyes brightened and a smile overtook her face.
"You were 'Confused Guy'?" Asked Lizzie.
Gordo nodded his head, as his face became red. Lizzie hugged Gordo. She felt like she could hold him forever and never let go. A tear rolled down her cheek. Gordo felt as if a weight had been completely lifted off of his shoulders. Lizzie let go of Gordo and looked at him again. She quickly kissed him. While their lips only met for a few brief moments, they both felt like it lasted an eternity. Just then Matt slowly peeked his head in. Gordo looked at him, as did Lizzie.
"You know Lizzie. If Matt hadn't of picked your lock, I would still be downstairs, probably back at home."
Lizzie got up and hugged her brother. She sat back down on her bed, and Matt left the room. They looked at each other for a few more minutes, saying nothing. All their frustrations were finally gone. They both knew exactly how each other felt, as they held each other's hand. Wow. Holding hands. The warm feeling they got from each other as there hands were entwined, was something they had both been longing for, and at long last, they had gotten it. Gordo looked out the window and saw that it was dark out. Gordo and Lizzie walked to the front door. They looked at each other, the stars shining brightly in the sky.
"So um. What do we do now?" Asked Gordo.
"I guess we have our first date." Said Lizzie.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow?"
Lizzie didn't say anything. Taking an ode from someone in a dream she had recently, Lizzie puts hands on the sides of Gordo's face, and passionately kissed him. Gordo put his hands on the side of Lizzie's waist. Their lips embraced one another's for the longest time. After the kiss was over, Gordo and Lizzie said bye to each other, and Gordo walked home. She looked up into the sky. Lizzie had never seen such a beautiful night, and she felt like she could just kiss the stars for shining so bright.
LIZZIE'S P.O.V.
Lizzie was ecstatic. She ran into the house and kissed her mom and dad. Matt passed on a kiss, so Lizzie just ran past him, patting his head. She ran into her room, and plopped down on the bed, with the biggest smile on her face that almost seemed to light up the neighborhood. She wished Miranda were here so she could tell her! Lizzie grabbed the yearbook page on the ground, and tried to straighten it out. Unfortunately the entire paper was crinkled and ruined now. She sighed, crumpled it back up and threw it to her trashcan. It completely missed, and landed to the side.
"I have such bad aim." She said.
Suddenly, something struck her like an oncoming freight train.
"AIM! Of course!"
She ran to her computer and turned it on. After getting online, she went into AIM. Why didn't it ever strike her before to check online? Probably because her mind was too far off, elsewhere. She checked her buddy list and saw that spanishchika26 was on.
Mclizzie99: Hey Miranda!
Spanishchika26: Hey Lizzie! Glad we finally get a chance to talk! Where have u been?
Mclizzie99: Finding the boy of my dreams.
Spanishchika26: You got a b/f? Do tell
Mclizzie99: Well, he's not really my b/f yet, but he's really sweet. He's got a cute smile.
Spanishchika26: Do I know him?
Mclizzie99: Yeah, you know him.
A few seconds go by, and Miranda didn't respond. Lizzie waited a little bit more, and then Miranda finally answered back.
Spanishchika26: lol. It's Gordo isn't it?
Lizzie suddenly got a surprised look on her face.
Mclizzie99: Yeah. How did you know?
Spanishchika26: Lizzie, I knew ever since you went out with Ronnie that he liked you. He acted so jealous! It was so cute!
Spanishchika26: Everyone knew it. It surprised me that you were so in the dark about it. It's about time you realized it.
Mclizzie99: Well, we are going to have a date tomorrow.
Spanishchika26: oooh, Lizzie! Aww. That's great. I think you two will make a cute couple.
Mclizzie99: And you know what else?
Mclizzie99: I kissed him! Twice!
Spanishchika26: OMG!!!!!
Spanishchika26: I have missed so much since I've been gone! You have to fill me in!
Lizzie talked to Miranda online for most of the night. She told her about the party. About how Kate told Lizzie that Gordo liked her. What Gordo wrote in her yearbook. The kiss she gave him. The time spent at the lake, and everything else, even the part about Kate at the mall today, and finally, the events that unfolded earlier this evening. After hours and hours of catching up, she was finally finished talking to Miranda. It was about 1 o' clock in the morning. But how could she ever get to sleep? She was so excited about their date. What were they going to do? Were they going to just go to a movie at night? Whatever they did, she thought that it would be great to be with Gordo.
GORDO'S P.O.V.
He was wide-awake. There was no way Gordo could fall asleep after what had happened. He had kissed Lizzie! Twice! Well, maybe Lizzie initiated them, but it didn't matter to him in the least bit. He remembered the electricity between them when they locked lips, the warmth that came off of Lizzie's hands against his cheeks. Gordo felt like he had been so . . . Un-Gordo today. He would have never been able to tell off Kate the way he did. But the way she treated them, especially Lizzie, drove Gordo to do that.
He didn't know what Lizzie had planned for tomorrow, but if she didn't come up with anything, Gordo had many plans. He grabbed on of his CD's, and put on happy go lucky, tropical sounding song. He did a really cheesy dance, but it didn't matter to him. He was feeling good. On top of the world. He had the music up full blast, and he didn't even realize what time it was.
That is, until his dad came in and told him to turn it off. Gordo looked at the clock. Wow, 1:20. He needed to get to sleep. He turned off his lights, and got into bed. However, it wasn't another hour before Gordo was finally able to get to sleep.
