Friendship, or no friendship?

Gordo's POV

I walked home from school that afternoon, only I walked half of the way. Right next to my neighborhood, Lizzie and Jake rode up to me. But only it was Lizzie's car, now. Jake had got Lizzie a new car!

"Hey, Gordy! Want a ride?" Jake asked from the passenger seat. I looked over at Lizzie, oh no, she had the puppy dog eyes! Err . . . I guess I could have one ride, for Lizzie I mean. So I nodded and jumped into the car.

Once we got to my house, I jumped out of the car and waved at Lizzie.

"Bye Gordo!" She waved back. I grinned at her.

"Ciao!" I replied. The car zoomed off, and I went inside of my house.

(Plus One's "You" comes on, I would write the lyrics if I knew all of them)

I went to school the next day. I usually would meet Lizzie at our lockers, but she was walking with Jake to class, arm around him, grinning. I sadly walked to class alone, I would walk with Miranda if she were speaking to me.

In class Lizzie wrote another note to Jake. When it got to me, I threw it back to Jake but it landed right in the middle of his face.

I also walked out of class alone, I couldn't believe it, my hope was gone, and so was our friendship. But maybe I could stand to talk to Lizzie this afternoon, maybe.

I sat in the dark, lonely table in the corner at lunch. And I was praying for a chance for her to see my feelings. A tear rolled down my cheek as I saw Jake and Lizzie kissing outside through the window.

When the bell rang at the end of school, I decided to walk over to Lizzie's before I walked home. Once the door opened, Lizzie's mother let me in.

"Lizzie's not here right now, but she'll be here soon." She exclaimed. I saw Mr. McGuire sitting on the couch reading the newspaper. I sat down next to him.

"Hi Mr. McGuire." He put down his newspaper. "I wanted to ask you something. I kind of have this crush on this certain girl, but she has a boyfriend." He smiled a bit at me.

"It's Lizzie, right?"

I was shocked! How did he know?

"How did you know?" I asked him.

"That doesn't matter. If you really like her, you've got to tell her." He replied. "Though she already has a boyfriend, it's never too late to let out your feelings, even if she's slobbering on Ethan." I laughed a bit. Suddenly, Mrs. McGuire came into the room, followed by Lizzie. But there was good news, Jake wasn't with her.

"Hey, Gordo," She greeted me.

"Hi," I said, wearing a half smile. "Um, Lizzie, can we talk for a moment?"

"Yeah, sure," She followed me into her room and shut her door. "So, what's the matter?"

"Well, Lizzie, I think our friendship is tearing apart. I mean, Miranda isn't talking to me, and you're spending all your time with Jake," Lizzie cut me off.

"Gordo, I didn't realize this would ruin our friendship. But I actually like Jake. He's easy to talk too, he's smart, funny, not to mention cute, and he really cares for me." She walked back and forth across her carpeted floor. I bit my bottom lip. I had to say something!

"Don't you think your best friends care for you? And are easy to talk too?" Well, actually, I meant to say "I'm really happy for you", but as Mr. McGuire said, "let your feelings out". Now I'm blaming him! What's gotten into me!

"Well,"

"Look, Lizzie, if you really want to spend all of your time with Jake, go ahead, like I care." I left, feeling a feeling I have never gotten in my entire life, I actually broke up with Lizzie.
