"Remember football season?" Lizzie asked.

"Huh? Why?" Miranda asked.

"We won all our games. It's the first time that's happened ever since we've been in high school. Ethan was the star quarterback too."

Gordo shook his head and continued to write his paper on anatomy. What Kate had said yesterday had bothered him so he decided to work a little harder.

I wonder what she sees in him. So what if he's a good looking guy that's the best sports player in our school. He's definitely not going to be the valedictorian. Kate goes goo goo over that new hair cut, big deal, Gordo thought.

Cartoon Lizzie: I'm a senior this year, but why do I feel so incomplete? This should be my "it" year. Maybe it's Kate or Ethan. Maybe Ethan can feel this emptiness. Who am I to say that? I've tried almost my whole life to get him. What would make him change his mind now? Maybe it would if I became the valedictorian and started a billion dollar band.

Miranda looked up and noticed half the class was asleep and so was the teacher. "Hmmm." The bell rang and half the class almost jumped out of their seats. "Looks like Heart attack hotel," Miranda said to herself.

"Well I'll see you guys later," Gordo said and ran to his car and drove off fast.

"Whats wrong with him?" Miranda asked.

Lizzie shrugged her shoulders.

*~*~*

At his home, Gordo slung his backpack against the wall and it hit the floor. He ran and looked into the mirror. He stared for a long time then his hand met his reflections hand in the mirror.

"I wonder what it would be like to be someone else. If I could be me on the other side of this mirror."

Gordo looked through his closet frantically for some stylish clothes. He found a black tank top and a green muscle shirt his cousin got him for Christmas. He put it on with the baggiest pair of blue jeans he had. The put the belt on tight and looked in thee mirror. He wanted to barf.

"I can't help it. This is what Lizzie wants, so I'll have to change."

He looked at his hair. He ran his hands through it. "It's been the same since 7th grade."

He grabbed the gel and slicked it back and spiked it up a little. "No more curls."

He looked sadly in the mirror but stood up straight. "I've wanted to tell Lizzie how I've felt for three years. Now, maybe she will notice me as a "cool" guy and it will be easier.

*~*~*

"Lizzie I need advice," Matt said.

"About what?" Lizzie said.

"Well, there is the girl, and she might be my real first girlfriend. I think I'm in love with her. How do I tell her?"

"Awww, Matt that's so sweet."

"C'mon Lizzie. I need advice here. I need it from a female's point of view. You and mom are the closest ones to that and I'm not going to ask mom."

"Just be yourself and tell her how you feel."

"That's it! That's all you can give me? Geez, looks like mom is the last resort!"

"Maybe that wasn't good advice. I've been myself around Ethan and that hasn't gotten me nowhere. But also I tried to be someone else one time and that didn't work either. I'm screwed."

"What was that Lizzie?" Matt asked in another room.

"Nothing."

*~*~*

"No Larry, now stop calling because I've got to keep my grades up. This is my senior year and I'm not going to drop down to D's this year. Now good bye!" Miranda hung up the phone.

She sighed and lay down on the bed. Then she sat up real fast. "Hey! I got an idea to get Lizzie and Ethan together!" The grabbed the phone and called Ethan.

"Hello, is Ethan there?"

I'll update soon. I've got a lot of ideas for the story.
