Chapter 9: At Lunch, Without Miranda!
*Lizzie and Gordo are standing together in line, with their trays, getting their food. They are talking about what's happening between her and Miranda.
G: " Maybe she's just over-reacting?" Gordo says shrugging his shoulders.
L: Uh, hello?!? Of course she's over reacting! She's Miranda, she's stubborn!" Lizzie says, distressed and frustrated.
G: " Well, why don't I call her tonight and tell her how you feel???" Gordo suggests.
L: " Ya, well, I'm the one responsible for all of this happening. I probably should call."
G: " Uh, hello?!? You tried that! Remember?!?"
G: " She didn't listen!"
L: " Gordo!"
G: " What???"
L: " Nothin, just….just don't rub it in ok?!?" Lizzie says putting her hands on her face, which she does when she's frustrated and stressed.
G: " You're her friend! And I am too. Look Lizzie, I'll call her tonight and ask her what's wrong and tell her how you feel, ok???"
L: " Ok, just, do what you think is right, you're the smart one."
G: " Ok, I can see you're stressed, I'll call her."
L: " And Gordo."
G: " Ya Liz?"
L: " Thanks!" Lizzie smiles at him, and Gordo smiles back and says:
G: " Hey! What are friends for?!?" Lizzie thinks, 'Oh, that was so cute and sweet, what he said! Wait, did I say that, again?!? Am I really falling for Gordo?!?'
Gordo and Lizzie walk over to their usual table, without Miranda! Lizzie takes a bite of her sandwich, when Chris spots Lizzie and runs over to see her. Gordo sees him and tells Lizzie.
G: " Hey there's your friend, Chris." Lizzie turns around, when Chris gets to their table.
CP: " Hey Lizzie! Hey Gordo! So what's up???"
L: " Oh, nothing!" Lizzie says smiling, when Gordo speaks up.
G: " Except for the fact that Miranda is mad at Lizzie, and now she's not even talking to her because of you!"
L: " Not helping Gordo!" Lizzie says under her breath.
G: " What?!? It's true!" Lizzie kicks Gordo in the shin for saying that. Gordo just grins and thinks, 'She's so cute when she's mad!'
G: " Ow! Hey! What was that for?!?" Gordo says out loud and laughing a little.
L: " It was for you not helping me and embarrassing me by what you said!" Lizzie said, again, under her breath.
G: " Ya, well, you don't have to kick me!" Gordo, again, said out loud.
L: " You deserved it!" Lizzie said under her breath.
G: " Ya, I probably did, but you don't have to beat me up for it!" Gordo said out loud, again.
L: " Whatever!" Lizzie said under her breath again. Chris was confused by all that was going on, so he tried to ignore it and start over.
L: " Hey Chris!" Lizzie said cheerfully.
CP: " Hey Lizzie, Gordo!"
CP: " So….. where were we?"
L: " I don't know cuz SOMEONE interrupted me! Anyways, you wanna sit here???"
CP: " Uh, sure!" Chris said with a smile.
CP: " Yo, Lizzie!"
L: " Ya? What???"
CP: " Do ya like….."
L: " Do I like……..what???"
CP: " Well, this is kinda hard to say, but…."
L: " Ya? I'm listening!"
CP: " Ok, here it goes! Lizzie, do you wanna go out with me???" Lizzie noticed two blue, sparkling eyes glaring back her way. It was Gordo!
Gordo's Thoughts
He was always protective of her. It was probably because every boyfriend she ever had dumped her, either that or turned her down! Gordo was thinking, he didn't want her to go through the pain and misery again, like her past boyfriends had put her through when they dumped her and she sat there, crying. He was just simply sick of it! Her going out with some guy just because he was cute and hot, either that, or had good hair. 'She was just blind as to see what was in front of her own eyes!' He thought. He knew her his whole life, and as far as he can remember they were always inseparable. 'How long would it take her to realize what she had all along?!?' He then remembered her first boyfriend she ever had, 'Ronnie!' He thought. 'Ronnie was such a dirk!' He felt so terrible when he saw her kiss Ronnie, but he felt even worse when he dumped her! He didn't want it to happen to her again like all the other times. He knew how emotionally vulnerable she was! And he wasn't about to let it happen again!
End of Gordo's Thoughts
L: " Sure Chris! When?"
CP: " How bout……Saturday? Is that good for you?"
L: " Sure, what time though?"
CP: " How about, 7:00? I'll pick you up at ten minutes to. We can go to Sonic! And ride our bikes there!"
L: " Ya, Chris, sounds great!"
CP: " Ok, see ya then!"
L: " Bye Chris!" Chris left and walked out of the cafeteria. Then, in stomped Miranda! Miranda didn't even glance at Lizzie! What was up with her?!? Lizzie had to find out! Gordo wanted to help.
