What If?

Finally

Lizzie saw Ethan walking towards her, while she closed her locker. Miranda and Gordo were talking and didn't notice Ethan. Lizzie looked up at him, and then she looked at Gordo. She had to do it now. She had to tell him. Ethan stopped and gave her a kiss on the cheek. That's when Miranda and Gordo turned to look. All four of them were standing awkwardly, looking at the floor and avoiding each other's eyes. Lizzie breathed deep and sighed.

"I can't do this anymore Ethan." Ethan looked at her and so did Miranda and Gordo.

"What do you mean?" Asked Ethan. He looked at Lizzie and then he looked at Miranda.

"Ethan, I - I.......... I don't think that......"

The bell rang, signaling the start of first period. Lizzie looked at him and then looked at Gordo. Just when she had the nerve to do it, the stupid bell rung.

"Ok, at lunch meet me here. Ok?"

"Ok." Ethan nodded. They all stared at each other for a moment longer, and then they walked their way to their classes.

Lizzie was looking around her class. Trying to pass the time. The next period was Lunch, and she needed to get this over with. It has been 2 weeks since Gordo and her started to sneak around, and it wasn't right or far to Ethan. Lizzie had her mind set on telling him, and that's exactly what she was going to do. She had to tell him. Gordo was in this class with her, and she didn't notice the paper on her desk till she accidentally knocked it off. She picked it up and read it.

"Lizzie, you were going to tell Ethan weren't you. Thank god that you was cause he needs to know."

Lizzie wrote, "Yeah I know. I feel too guilty and I don't want to hurt him. He needs to understand that you and me are better together. And I need him to see that we are better off being friends. Hope this goes well."

She passed the note to Gordo and he read it. He wrote something and then passed it back.

"You're right. Can't wait till we can finally go out in public. I hate being confined to your room, and have to deal with Matt scamming money out of you. Even though it's funny."

"Ha ha, very funny, and when is the bell going to ring?" She passed the note to Gordo and she watched him read it, check his watch, and then write. He passed it to her and she hurriedly opened it up.

"In 2 minutes and you're right, it's very funny." Lizzie glared at Gordo, and she started put her books and stuff away. When the bell rung, she and Gordo sailed out of the class and were waiting by her locker. Ethan and Miranda showed up, and they waited till everyone was out of the hall and then they went into an empty classroom.

"Ok, Ethan, as I was trying to say earlier, I can't do this anymore."

"Ok. And what can't you do?"

"Be with you. I love Gordo, and we have been sneaking around behind your back for 2 weeks. I'm sorry, but maybe you and I should just be friends."

Ethan looked at her and then smiled. "It's cool Lizzie. I have been thinking to tell you the same thing. Just not with Gordo. With Miranda. I like her, and I think me and you should just settle as friends."

Lizzie smiled and they hugged each other. When Lizzie got out of Ethan's arms she grabbed Gordo.

"We're free!!!" Lizzie squealed and Gordo smiled and hugged her.

"Yes we are. We're free."
