Unexpected love Chapter 8: Sugar and spice
Disclaimer: I dont own Lizzie McGuire nor any of the characters and/or actors. I am only a fan blah blah blah blah BLAH. You know this. Do I really have to repeat myself?
PS: Hehehe about half way through ppl! (Theres 15 chapters) Hope you like how the story goes and I hope you dont get too mad at Lizzie through this. The bleach got to her brain. LOL. ~A
PPS: I decided to rename this chapter from the original name, 'Kiss of Friendship' to 'Sugar and Spice' because it was more original.
****************************************************
Lizzie wiped the mascara stains from her eyes as she slowly clambered onto the yellow school bus. She sat near the middle and sighed, looking at a girl snuggle up to her boyfriend.
Would she ever be like that? That happy?
First, Ethan cheats on her. (Well, technically he wasn't! But still!)
Then, Gordo gets mad at her and tells her the three words that made Lizzie wince. The three little words that Lizzie now HATED the most out of the whole human language.
Get. Over. It. It kinda stung to hear Gordo, who was normally so calm and accepting of her, snap like that. Gordo usually had so much patience for her rantings. What had gotten into him?
No, Lizzie's inner voice said. What has gotten into you?
Good question. Lizzie looked around sadly as the bus swerved over to the curb where her, and several other tweens got off.
Was Gordo ever going to appologize to her? Lizzie wondered as she slowly got off the bus. Actually...maybe she should appologize to him.
**************************************************
Gordo sighed, running his hands through his hair. What to do, what to do.
Okay, he thought. I decided to come talk to Lizzie. Now what do I do? What should I say? How should I act? Should I tell her I like her? No, it was too bad of a time.
Then what?
Apologize.
The thought struck Gordo like a bolt of lightening.
An apology might work. Even if it didn't, it WAS worth a try, he shrugged and ran the doorbell.
"Hello?" Lizzie's voice asked quietly, through the door. "Who is it?"
"It's Gordo." Gordo coughed uneasily, shifting his weight from foot to foot, a habit that he had accumulated since the beginning of his crush on Lizzie. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. There was a pause.
Lizzie was obviously too mad at him, he should just go home.
Gordo turned on his heel ready to leave, when the door swung open.
"Wait." He slowly turned around, and there was Lizzie, mascara stains still on her cheeks, wrapped up in her favourite blanket. "Hi." she whispered quietly.
"Hi." Gordo continued staring at her.
Lizzie coughed nervously, obviously noticing Gordo's stare that was transfixed on her.
"Do you want to come in?" she whispered. "I mean--" a blush rose to her cheeks. "You like don't have to if you don't want to."
"No, I do." Gordo said quietly. He followed her inside.
"Lizzie."
"Gordo."
They both said each other's name at the same time.
"You go first." he smiled goofily at her.
"No you." she insisted.
"Well." he said, sitting back in his seat on the couch. "I came to apologize. I'm really sorry about being such a jerk."
"I wanted to apologize to you." Lizzie smiled. "Don't worry, I was the one who was a jerk."
"No Lizzie, you DID completely annoy me obsessing about Ethan but I understand that you like him. I like someone too...she's very special to me. And I would do anything for her."
"Oh." Lizzie said quietly.
Kara. Kara. Kara.
The name echoed in Lizzie's head.
"Thats um, great Gordo." Lizzie smiled uneasily.
Kara
"Yeah...hey I have an idea if you want me to help you with Ethan."
Kara
"No, Gordo you don't have to. Maybe your right. Maybe it IS stupid."
KARA!!! Gordo loves Kara, not you Lizzie.
Stop it!
"No Lizzie." Gordo insisted. "You want him, then fight for him. I promise to help you get him in any way that I can."
"Really?" she asked, looking up, her eyes sparkling.
It was in that moment that Gordo realized that he loved Lizzie. Not just liked her as a friend, but loved her. Maybe he wasn't in love with her yet but he did love her...
Love. What a strong word.
*******************************************************
"I didn't know that you were taking photography lesson's Gordo." Lizzie smiled, as she sat down on the soft grass.
"Yeah, well it came with the video producing in the course I'm taking." he explained, adjusting the lenses.
"So lets go through the plan. You take pictures of me, to make Ethan jealous? He's not even here!" Lizzie insisted.
"Just wait." Gordo chuckled, as he looked down at his camera, playing with the buttons.
"ONE TWO THREE! ONE TWO THREE! FASTER FASTER LADIES WE DONT HAVE ALL DAY!!" The guy's basketball team, in work-out clothes ran down through the doors, and around the team. Lizzie saw Ethan who gave her a nod-and-grin, but when he saw Gordo, a glare in his general direction. Lizzie wanted to wave and acknowlege Ethan, but keeping with the ice-out plan she ignored him, looking everywhere but at him.
Ethan's poor brain didn't know what was happening, so he kept glancing at Lizzie as he ran down the field up to the outdoor basketball court. When he saw Gordo take out his camera, and whisper something to Lizzie, he froze watching them.
"Hey man!" Kyle Ordenit exclaimed as he ran into the back of Ethan.
"Oh." Ethan muttered distractedly. "Sorry dude."
He kept running watching Lizzie and Gordo the whole time.
Lizzie went in different poses, smiling flirtaciously at the camera, looking beautiful.
I'm keeping these once this is over, thought Gordo as he grinned, flashing away.
"OK MEN!" The coach yelled. "LETS START THE DRILLS. GRAB THE BALL, SHOOT, THEN PASS TO THE NEXT PERSON. GO GO GO GO GOOOOO!"
They stood in line, and Ethan watched Lizzie as she smiled looking cute, giving eyes to the camera. Eyes that were meant for him! Ethan! Not GORDORK.
Just then Ethan felt a twack to his head. He wasn't paying attention and got banged on the head with the ball, when the guy in front of him tried to pass.
"Ow..." Ethan cried.
"Walk it off." the coach shrugged.
Ethan winced, rubbing his sore noggin, still watching Lizzie and Gordo.
"NOW!" Coach yelled. "TIME FOR PASSING DRILL! CRAFT PAY ATTENTION!"
The guys started passing and Ethan paid attention, passing to the other guys.
But as soon as he had the chance, he looked at Gordo and Lizzie.
Lizzie was leaning in close to Gordo whispering something in his ear. He whispered back and she blushed sweetly. Ethan's eyes opened wide with shock. What was he saying to HIS Lizzie?!?! Just then the ball came, missing his arms, and hitting him in the balls.
"Owwww." Ethan said in pain, clutching his crotch.
Ethan Craft got canned.
"ETHAN! YOU OBVIOUSLY SUCK TODAY. DO TWENTY LAPS AND THEN HIT THE SHOWERS! MOVE MOVE MOOOOVE!"
Ethan grumbled, heading over to the opposite field, trying to keep his eyes on Lizzie, but he couldn't this far away. He shrugged his shoulders, defeated. Sometime he'll get Lizzie back from Gordon. She deserved someone special. Someone like HIM.
********************************************************
Lizzie smiled as she watched Ethan's retreating back.
"Gordo!" she squealed. "It worked! He was so distracted being jealous, that he couldn't play Basketball! Yeah!" she grinned.
"Great." he lied, smiling weakly.
"You are so great." Lizzie smiled as she threw her arms around him hugging him tight. "I mean it. You are the best friend EVER."
"Dont you forget it." he laughed, hugging her close. He squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath of her hair. It smelt so wonderful...like flowers...and fruit...and candy...and and, sugar and spice and everything nice! So THATS what the poem was talking about.
He reluctantly let go, and looked into Lizzie's beautiful brown eyes.
She smiled at him, then looked down. Then looked up again.
"Thanks again Gordo." she whispered, her voice hoarse.
She leaned forward, and his eyes widened with shock. Was she going to kiss him?!?!
She got closer and closer, then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You really are the most amazing friend. Truly." She rubbed his shoulder then got up, and walked away, to the direction of the front of the school, waiting for her dad to pick her up.
Wow, Gordo thought.
So she only kissed him on the cheek.
Still, a kiss on the cheek was better then no kiss at all.
He grinned, getting up.
"Hey Lizzie!" he called, running to catch up with her. "Wait! I'll walk ya!"
The two friends walked with their arms linked.
Anyone who didn't know them, would guess that the two were going out.
And maybe in a way they were.
