What If?

Dance

Ethan is going to actually take me to the dance. Lizzie thought. It was the final hour of school and Lizzie couldn't wait to get home to get ready. She was so excited that she and Ethan were going to the dance. As Lizzie twirled her finger around her hair she noticed how weird that Gordo was looking. Lizzie stared at him for a while and seen that he was fidgeting. Lizzie ripped out a sheet of paper, and wrote a note.

"Gordo, what's up? You look nervous." Lizzie passed the note to him, and Gordo looked at it before he opened it. He wrote something on it and then passed it back to Lizzie.

"Fine, just fine. Nothing is wrong, I just can't wait for the dance." Lizzie looked up at him and then wrote

"Ok, Gordo. Can you believe that I'm going with Ethan Craft? Ethan!!!!!!!!!" Lizzie threw it on his desk as soon as the teacher turned around from writing notes on the board. Lizzie pretended to copy and when the teacher finally turned back around Gordo put the note on her desk.

"Yeah, Golden Boy himself. Lizzie, make sure you save me a dance."

Lizzie smiled. "Sure Gordo. I'll save you two. One fast, one slow." She passed it to Gordo and he smiled. He wrote and then passed it back to her.

"That would be great. Bell gonna ring in like 10 seconds." Lizzie put the note in her bag and she put her books there too as soon as the bell rang. She and Gordo left the class together, with their hands intertwined. Miranda and Ethan walked towards them and Ethan smiled.

"Yo, Gordo my main man. You tying to steal Lizzie from me?" Ethan joked. Gordo blushed and Lizzie let his hand go. Miranda had a scowl on her face as she stared from Lizzie to Gordo.

"Lets go. Gordo, remember 8 sharp." Miranda said with a smile on her face. Gordo smiled too but couldn't help but look over at Lizzie and Ethan. Ethan had his hands on Lizzie's waist and Gordo secretly wanted to do that, to touch Lizzie, to be Lizzie's boyfriend. He was torn, he knew that Lizzie didn't think of him like that, but he wished that she did.

"Gordo are you even listening to me?" Miranda asked. Gordo turned his attention back to Miranda.

"Yeah, I'm listening." This is going to be a very long night. At least I have those dances with Lizzie to keep me sane.

"Lizzie!!! Ethan's here!!!" Jo yelled up the stairs. Lizzie looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Her hair was in curls, and she had on a long black dress. She had on a little lipstick with some lip-gloss to make it shinier. Lizzie checked herself once more, and then she grabbed her purse, and walked out her room and down the stairs. When she got to the bottom step her mother and father were smiling. After a lot of goodbyes Lizzie and Ethan were finally in his mother's car. They were drove to the party and then they went into the school and entered the lunchroom. There were already couples on the floor and the DJ was playing a nice fast beat. Ethan pulled Lizzie to the dance floor and they started to dance with each other. Lizzie had a huge smile on her face when Ethan twirled her. Lizzie looked and seen Miranda and Gordo enter into the lunchroom. Lizzie realized how cute Gordo looked in his attire. After 3 dances Lizzie led Ethan to the refreshment table. Kate was there with some Jock, as a date.

"Oh Lizzie, hi. Ethan, want to dance?" Kate asked as she stared Ethan over. Her date didn't even notice.

"Um, no!" Lizzie exclaimed. "Gordo, Miranda, Ethan and I are going to switch partners. So maybe later." Lizzie said. She nudged Miranda into Ethan's arms and then she and Gordo danced. It was a nice salsa beat and as Lizzie moved Gordo tried to compete. He had his hands on her hips as they did a combo, and then he twirled her and dipped her. Then they went into an up tempo combination and after all the twirls and the fancy footwork, the song was over and Gordo and Lizzie left the floor giggling and laughing.

"I didn't know that you were so smooth Gordo." Lizzie giggled as she got some fruit punch.

"What about you? You danced like you were born in 6 inch heels." Gordo joked as he poked her stomach. Lizzie giggled and she poked him back. "Did I mention that that dress looks like it was custom made for you?" Gordo said turning serious. Lizzie smiled and touched his shoulder.

"Thanks Gordo."

"Hey Lizzie, lets go hit the floor." Ethan said as he took her hand and dragged her back to the dance floor. Gordo watched as Ethan and Lizzie danced and he was satisfied at what happened. He danced with Lizzie, and it was the greatest 7 minutes of his life. Miranda came back from talking to someone and her and Gordo went to dance near Lizzie and Ethan.

As the night went on, the dance was finally coming to an end. It was the last song, a slow song, and Lizzie broke away from Ethan to keep her promise to Gordo. Her and Gordo had seperated themselves far from Ethan and Miranda's eyesight. As the slow song started they swayed from side to side. Lizzie put her head on Gordo's shoulder and Gordo smiled.

"This is nice. I love slow dancing." Lizzie murmured to Gordo.

"Yeah. Miranda has been acting strange tonight; I don't know what's wrong with her." Gordo said.

"Well hey, maybe it was just the dancing." Lizzie smiled.

They continued to dance. And Gordo was more then aware of the tension that had rise out of the blue, between them. Gordo's hands were rested on her waist, upper hips, and he liked the closeness of their bodies. And all of a sudden they drew close to each other and kissed. Gordo moved her closer to him and Lizzie had her arms around his neck. After a few seconds they moved away from each other and Lizzie stared at him.

"I-I'm sorry Gordo. I have to go call my mom, I really feel like leaving." Lizzie said. She moved away from him and rushed out of the lunchroom.

Gordo stood there and thought about what had just happened. He and Lizzie kissed, and he was still feeling the sensation of her lips on his. Gordo's heart was beating as he thought about the kiss again. Gordo smiled and looked over at Ethan and Miranda. They didn't see a thing cause they were laughing. Gordo was a little happy that they didn't see, but a little disappointed to. He wanted Ethan to see that Lizzie obviously liked him. And to Gordo, nothing could beat what he felt for her.
