Keep Reviewing, and I will love you!! 3 Julia

Will

Miranda leaned against her boyfriend, Ian Ross's locker as she watched Lizzie hurry down the main staircase of the school; all alone. Lizzie was looking really disheveled. She was wearing blue and white pin striped jeans with a baby blue peasant shirt, but it looked like it was thrown together very sloppily, and her hair was a mess, caught together in small tangles in a French braid. Miranda couldn't help but feel bad for her. They had been through so much together, and she didn't think their friendship could end so suddenly. Ian was talking with some of his friends from the soccer team, while Miranda had continued to watch Lizzie. She had noticed Lizzie had turned all stiff, and her skin was a soft pearly white color. She looked like she was in shock. Miranda followed Lizzie's stare, and found Gordo, who was making his way down the stairs. He was alone too, looking very confident. Miranda waved him over. Lizzie stared at them enviously as they talked together as the time passed.

"Gordo, what was wrong this weekend? I couldn't get a hold of you," Miranda stated. She stared at him stare at his feet as he muttered something very quietly. "What was that?"

"Uh, I was grounded. And uh, Juliabrokeutwitme," Gordo rushed quickly. He wanted to leave. Wanted to run amuck and smash mailboxes with baseball bats.

Miranda looked at him again. "This time pronounce different syllables. On the count of three. One...two...-"

"Julia broke up with me ok? And it's all her fault!" Gordo said, raising his voice as he pointed at Lizzie. Lizzie turned around slowly, facing the two. She looked around for support, but there was none. She had no one to back her up on this one. Miranda stared at her, stunned. She gathered confidence, and anger and signaled for Lizzie to go over there. Lizzie bit her lip, and furred her eyebrows. She slowly moved forward, unaware of what Miranda was going to do.

"Lizzie, I need to talk to you," Miranda said calmly, grabbing Lizzie's wrist and pulling her out of earshot from Gordo. "I knew you would pull something like this! What did you do?"

Julia leaned forward and pulled her Geometry book out of her locker, and pulled it into her messenger bag. She was wondering if she had done the right thing. "Of course you did, he kissed another girl," she said to herself the forty-fifth time that morning. Julia loved the feeling of other guys looking at her, flirting with her; and her being able to return the favor. All of Julia's life she had been known as a flirt. She never 'settled down'. When her best friend, Alli, from back home in Rhode Island found out she actually had a boyfriend, she was astonished. Especially when it lasted for more than 2 weeks. But that was over now. And Julia had never been happier.

"Hey sexy!" someone behind Julia yelled to her over her shoulder. Julia was very ready to turn around and feed them a nasty come back, but when she turned around, she found herself looking into very familiar eyes.

"Oh my god!" Julia screeched as she flung herself into strong male arms.

Gordo watched as Miranda pulled Lizzie by the wrist and dragged her away. Not too far away though, Gordo could hear what they were saying. He didn't mean to make such a scene out of what he meant, it was just that he was so furious with her, he didn't feel sorry. "Yes you do..." Gordo's conscience nagged at him, eating him away. He knew that he was going to miss Lizzie. He couldn't help those feelings. But he knew, in order to make his life go where he wanted, he needed to leave Lizzie behind. She was still so immature. She didn't realize that he was in a serious relationship. It was one of those things that his parents told him about. Like in 7th grade everyone kisses each other and swears not to tell their 'boyfriends' and 'girlfriends'. But when they find out, things are physiologically ruined for good. Gordo wasn't even paying attention. He was so wrapped up in his thoughts, he was missing the conversation; and lunch. He was watching some of his favorite childhood moments in his mind, wondering what had ever gone wrong.

Gordo Flashback: First Grade

Short children were running around the colorful playground on the fall morning. The leaves were bright oranges and reds, and the kids were bundled in jackets. Gordo was running around in his jean jacket, chasing a little girl with short, curly blonde pigtails, in cute red velour matching skirt and jacket suit. Gordo chased the girl around the seesaws, underneath the slide, and through the T-Ball game. He finally pinned her down in a secluded pile of leaves behind a group of tall pines.

"Gordo!" The little girl squealed. She struggled, but soon gave up. She looked into the boy's light blue eyes and smiled warmly, from the heart. He smiled back. The little boy wrapped his pinky finger around one of the thin ringlets in the girl's hair. He let it go quickly, and laid a quick peck on the small girl's lips. All they did was smile.

"Lizzie Elizabeth Brooke McGuire. One day, we will be married," a childish David Gordon said to a small Lizzie McGuire.

"Not if you never get off of me, Mr. Gordo!" Lizzie giggled...

END Gordo Flashback

Gordo snapped out of his little dream world, to see Miranda standing in front of him with her hands on her hips. She was looking at him very funny.

"What did you just say?"

Lizzie hurried down the corridor towards the cafeteria; as far away from Miranda as she could get. Miranda was most likely going to kill Lizzie, but she had managed to escape by sliding away when Miranda was staring at Gordo as he stared off into space. Lizzie walked into the cafeteria, and loud cheers erupted from the 'jocks' table. All around the table were good, no, great looking football players, and cheerleaders identical to Abercrombie models. Lizzie hurried past them, and got into line for lunch. She grabbed a small slice of cheese pizza, turned around to get to the cashier, and slammed face forward into Will Harter's chest. Lizzie inhaled and smelled the essence of Will; he smelled heavily of aftershave and really nice cologne. Lizzie almost dropped her pizza to the floor so she could use the plate to cover her flaming magenta face. Will bounced back, surprised, and then scanned Lizzie up and down.

"Lizzie, is that you?" He asked in his charming voice. Lizzie nodded quickly.

"Yea- - Yeah. Uh, uh...it's me. Hey Will," Lizzie tried to say calmly. "I am so sorry," Lizzie tried to go on, but the look on Will's face was far too amused to even finish her sentence. She was more embarrassed than ever now, especially because the hottest senior in her school was getting some sick pleasure of watching Lizzie trip all over herself.

"Elizabeth- -, I mean Lizzie. It's no problem. Hey, what do you say you eat lunch with my friends and me? It will be fun..." Will looked back and fourth between Lizzie and his table. Lizzie noticed there were only juniors and seniors at that table. She doubts that there had ever been a freshman there before her. Then something else flashed across her mind. The most popular, cutest, captain of the football team, was being nice to Lizzie. A freshman. In other words; vermin. This was the weirdest day in her life.

Lizzie looked at her feet, and looked around the cafeteria. She saw no one she could sit with. At all. Looking back into Will's gorgeous brown eyes, she gave in. "Well, I don't know. I'm not sure if your friends would like it very much..." There was that smile again...

"I don't care what my friends think. Come on." He led her to the table, and slid his plate of pizza in front of the chair. He stood there with Lizzie until everyone looked up. "Could this be more awkward..." Lizzie thought.

Everyone at Will's table looked up impatiently and confused. Some of the cheerleaders went back to their protein bars. "Excuse me everyone," Will said breaking the ice. Now everyone was paying attention. "I would love for you all to meet my new friend, Lizzie McGuire. Treat her with respect," Will said looking straight at two football players in general. They tightened up and looked away. Lizzie felt so out of place. That was until Will pulled out the chair right next to him for her. Lizzie smiled instantly an slowly sat down in the chair, not taking her eyes off of Will the entire time. Lizzie needed this. No matter what anybody said, Lizzie knew what felt good. And if sitting with high school royalty didn't feel good, she didn't know what did.

Lizzie looked away from Will just a the right time, as he turned to whisper something behind Lizzie's back.

Gordo sat up in the cafeteria, and looked over at Lizzie talking to Will Harter. He knew Will was bad news, and he didn't want Lizzie to get caught up in him. No matter how much Gordo denied it, he couldn't just let his best friend be taken advantage of. Lizzie was now sitting at his table, as Will was paying no attention to her; whispering to his friends. She was probably just a trophy to him. Gordo had had enough. He turned to get out of his seat, but Miranda's hand landed on his forearm.

"Where are you going, Gordo? We still have 15 minutes left in lunch," Miranda said eying him suspiciously.

"I'm going to talk to her."

"No, Gordo! Don't!" Miranda yelled after him. But it was too late. Gordo was determined to talk to Lizzie.
