Gordo
Gordo anxiously studied Lizzie's beautiful face as he searched for some emotion to help him guess the answer to his question. However, all he saw in her face was.confusion.
Lizzie sighed and brushed a blond bang out of her usually clear blue eyes, which were now clouded with hesitation.
"Gordo," She began slowly, "Before I answer that question I have to get this all out. Ok, recently, I've had some new..uh.. feelings for you. After I read what you put in my yearbook, I knew I had to do something. When I kissed you everything just felt so, right, so comfortable. But, I don't know if I want to go out with you because...if we end up breaking up and, like, hating each other I wouldn't want to risk the friendship we have now. So to answer your question.Yes, I would like to go out with you David Gordon, but, I don't know if I actually will."
Gordo was struck with several new emotions. Half of his brain screamed "Lizzie likes me, she wants to go out with me!" and the other half reasonably said, "She said she would like to go out with you but not that she actually will."
"How about this," Gordo proposed, "Why don't we go to the graduation dance together, kind of a.test date. If everything goes well there then we'll see about dating each other."
"That sounds great!" Lizzie said, seeming relieved. A smile spread over her features, and in Gordo's opinion lit up her whole face. "I'll see you then for our date David Gordon."
"Ok, Elizabeth McGuire." Gordo replied mimicking her tone of voice.
"Stop that!" Lizzie cried, giggling and lightly hitting him with the back of her menu.
Gordo chuckled in spite of himself with her. Finally, he thought, as the two best friends laughed together, everything is just like old times. He was already referring to the times before the kiss as "old times" Everything is absolutely perfect, Gordo thought as Lizzie grinned at him as she sipped her smoothie. Everything is perfect
Lizzie
After Lizzie and Gordo had reached Gordo's house they said good-bye and promised to call each other later. As soon as Lizzie reached her block she couldn't keep the goofy smile off her face and she began singing and skipping toward her house.
"Gordo likes me, Gordo likes me!" She cried as she did a small cartwheel in her front yard. She rushed up to her front door and threw it open, calling "Hello family dearest!"
"Lizzie, come on in here." Jo's voice called through the entryway. "You have a visitor!"
Lizzie skipped her way to the family room where she saw.. "Surprise!" Miranda cried as she dashed across the room to Lizzie. "I'm baa-aack!"
"Miranda, your..your back!" Lizzie stammered. Thankfully her friend took her stuttering as happiness to see her, not horror to see her.
"Yep, I finally convinced my mom that she couldn't let me miss graduation and more importantly, graduation dance!" Miranda excitedly informed her.
"You're..going to graduation dance?" Lizzie asked faintly.
"Of course I am!" Miranda chirped "You and I will hang out right? Unless one of us gets a date! Have you got one yet?"
Thankfully before Lizzie could answer, her mom interrupted and said, "Sorry to break into your reunion but can you girls go up to Lizzie's room? Mr. McGuire and I are expecting company."
"Sure Mom." Lizzie replied, grateful for the interruption.
The two best friends dashed up the stairs and into Lizzie's messy room.
"You look great Miranda!" Lizzie remarked. Miranda was even tanner then usual from Mexico. She was dressed in a tight army camouflage tank top and long black jean pants with various army patches sewn on them. Miranda's sleek black hair was pulled onto the top of her head into a tight ponytail, with various stripes of army green in them.
"Thanks!" Miranda replied, obviously pleased. She spun in a short circle. "You like this outfit?" Before Lizzie even responded Miranda continued, "You look pretty great yourself! Although your pretty dressed up, who were you just out with?"
"Uhh.just Gordo, but..uh..your back!" Lizzie weakly said, not coming up with anything better to say.
"Yes, McGuire I'm back, we established that, I think your blond genes are showing." Miranda teased.
"Lizzie managed a weak smile, "I have got to talk to Gordo." She thought
Gordo
"Ok, bye." Gordo said into the phone before hanging up with Lizzie.
"Wow, Miranda's back." Gordo thought as he leaned back on his bed.
Lizzie had informed him that Miranda was back and that he could not say anything about their "test date" until the dance which was on Thursday night and their last day of school was on Friday. Also, Lizzie, Miranda, and him were going to Coaster Kingdom. It was their tradition to go every year during the last week of school.
"Tomorrow sure will be interesting." Gordo thought to himself, "Interesting..to say the least."
The next morning Gordo woke up at 9 so he would have 2 hours to get ready for Coaster Kingdom. After eating breakfast for an hour, however, he ended up only having 1 hour to get ready. Anyway he took a shower and attempted to dress nicely. As he scoured his closet for something he thought Lizzie would like he realized it was nearly time to go so Gordo ended up simply grabbing a shirt and running out the door to Lizzie's house
Once he arrived there Jo sent him up to Lizzie's room. There Lizzie and Miranda were putting their final touches on each others hair. Both looked gorgeous, as usual, Gordo thought. Lizzie was dressed in perfectly faded jeans and a white long sleeve collared blouse. Her straight blonde hair was held back with a jewled headband that sparkled as she turned to face Gordo. Miranda was dressed in bright red pants held up by a black belt. She was also wearing a black spaghetti straped shirt with several necklaces and bracelets. Her black hair was up in a ponytail, and she had a red visor sideways on her head.
"Are you ready to go?" Gordo asked them, not taking his eyes off Lizzie.
Miranda walked up to Gordo and snapped her finger in front of his face.
"Hello, Gordo? You haven't seen me in two weeks and I don't even get a hello?" She said, her familiar smile spreading across her face.
"Hello Miranda." Gordo said with a perfectly straight face.
"Hi to you to!" She cried and wrapped him up in a hug.
Gordo laughed and said, "Come on you guys if we leave now we'll have 7 hours to ride the roller coasters over and over!"
"Sounds like fun." Miranda declared, "Come on Lizzie your hair looks great!"
This whole time Lizzie had been over by her mirror checking her hair and avoiding Gordo's stare.
"Uh, ok I'm ready." Lizzie said flashing them her brightest smile, "Here we come Coaster Kingdom!"
Gordo anxiously studied Lizzie's beautiful face as he searched for some emotion to help him guess the answer to his question. However, all he saw in her face was.confusion.
Lizzie sighed and brushed a blond bang out of her usually clear blue eyes, which were now clouded with hesitation.
