Chapter 2 : A Few Days Before Graduation
I only own the characters I make up. This chapter is Senior year in high school. Comprehend? If you don't, not my problem!

I opened my locker to find a note. It said " Lizzie, meet me at the Quad. I need to ask you something. ~Gordo." I wonder what Gordo wants? I thought. I was anxious to know, or was I nervous? Why am I nervous around my best friend? He's the only best friend I've been going to school with since junior high, since Miranda had to move to Mexico. I went through classes without trouble. I put my PreCalculus book in my locker, and ran to the Quad.

(Gordo)
I was gonna do it, I was gonna ask her out, and she was going to say yes. I thought- What if she says no, or thinks that I'm a wack job for asking her. What if she won't be my friend anymore? *sigh*. She came, looking more radiantly beautiful than ever. It was like every time I saw her in high school- The romantic theme music in my head would start playing, an angelic light would be flowing behind her, and she would smile.
"Hey, Gordo. What did you want to ask me?" she asked me in her beautiful voice. I want you, haven't you seen that? I thought.
"I wanted to tell you that..." I couldn't do it," I got into UCLA."
"Gordo, why aren't you going to Harvard? That's where you wanted to go I thought?"Before I fell in love with you, yes.
"I wanted to go to college with you, so that you wouldn't be all alone," I said. I looked into her eyes, and she looked back into mine. She leaned in, and so did I. We shared our first kiss in the Quad.
" I love you Gordo," she whispered.
" I love you too, Lizzie," I said pulling her into my arms. I wanted to tell her the whole story, but everything revealed itself in the kiss.
"Did you want to tell me anything else?" she asked as we backed off.
"I wanted to know if you would accompany me to the movies," I asked.
"Of course, see you at seven?" she asked.
"You know it, I can't provide transportation!" She laughed.
HA! Isn't it wonderful? This is how the whole idea of marriage came about, but before I can continue with that story, I have to tell you more on this one!
