A/N: Hello everyone! I've been thinking about this story for a while, and I
think I know where I want to take it! That's good, because now I can
update! Woo hoo! And just to clarify, for the sake of this story, we're
pretending "Bye, Bye Hillridge Junior High" did not happen! Ok! Enjoy, and
review!
Disclaimer: I don't own LM. If I did, Lizzie would have planted one on Gordo's lips in that picture! Haha!
A Summer of Changes
Chapter 9:
"Lizzie!" a voice called.
Lizzie felt herself being jolted.
"McGuire! Wake up!" Gordo yelled.
Lizzie opened her eyes. She looked up and saw Gordo standing over her. She sat up and stretched out.
"Finally." Gordo remarked. "Geez, I didn't know jet-skiing could take that much out of you. And you weren't eve steering!"
"Huh?" asked Lizzie.
"You've been out for like an hour." Gordo explained.
"I have?" Lizzie asked, surprised.
"Yes." Gordo answered. "You said you'd rest your eyes for a few minutes and then we'd go swimming."
"We didn't go swimming yet?" Lizzie asked, puzzled.
"Nope." Gordo replied. "Are you ok?"
Lizzie thought for a minute. So they hadn't kissed? Everything after the jet-skiing had been a dream! Lizzie shuddered a little.
"Well?" Gordo asked again.
"Yeah, um, I'm fine. I think I got too much sun or something." She replied, shakily. She was feeling way too much. That dream had sent her over the edge. "Um, I'm going to go inside and lie down for a little while." She got up and started for the house.
"Ok." Gordo replied wondering what was up with her. "I'm going for a swim, and then reading my book. Come get me if you need anything."
"Right." Lizzie responded as she walked away.
She reached the house, and found the bedroom her parents were staying in. She found what she was looking for - her dad's laptop, and brought it back to her room. She set it up on the desk and waited for it to boot up. She was still reeling from her dream. Why had she dreamed about kissing Gordo? Ever since he had held her hand, she couldn't stop thinking about him - as more than a friend. Was she really falling for Gordo?
The computer screen came up and Lizzie connected to the internet.
"Please be there, please!" She begged, as she signed onto her buddy list. She really needed to talk to someone.
Before she could even look at it, a message popped up.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Manders14: OMG! You have no idea how glad I am that you're on.
Manders14: This is Lizzie right? Or did you find out her password again Matt?
Lizzee628: No, its me.
Manders14: Good. I need contact with the real world.
Lizzee628: That bad, huh?
Manders14: You have no idea.
Lizzee628: LOL
Manders14: Seriously. If I have to watch one more Friends re-run in Spanish, someone will die.
Lizzee628: I thought you were supposed to be discovering your heritage?
Manders14: Apparently my heritage consists of many small children and badly dubbed t.v. shows.
Lizzee628: Yikes. Sounds bad.
Manders14: It is, but talking about it makes it worse. How are things back in the States?
Lizzee628: Things are...interesting.
Manders14: Why? What happened?
Lizzee628: Things.
Manders14: Tell me!
Lizzee628: Well, I'm a little hesitant. Your concept of the "cone of silence" is very different from mine.
Manders14: I can keep a secret!
Lizzee628: Right!
Manders14: When have I ever blabbed?
Lizzee628: Too many times to count! We even have it on video! A certain film project comes to mind.
Manders14: Oh right. The Stan Jansen thing. But that was just a fluke. Besides, that was middle school. I'm more mature, and you don't like Gordo anymore.
Lizzee628: You're 0 for 2.
Manders14: I am so mature. 0 for 2? What?
Lizzee628: ....
Manders14: OH!
Lizzee628: Yeah..
Manders14: What happened?
Lizzee628: Nothing...yet. But I had a dream about him.
Manders14: Really?
Lizzee628: Uh huh. We kissed in it.
Manders14: Lizzie, you need to talk to him.
Lizzee628: No way! That would just make things weird. Besides, I'm sure it's just a little crush. I like Ethan, not Gordo.
Manders14: Denial. Oh, Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie. You know you like him. You have forever, you've just been too blind to see it.
Lizzee628: Miranda, I need to figure things out. So if you talk to Gordo, please don't say anything. Ok?
Manders14: Fine. But you should. Otherwise you might be missing out on something really great.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Just then, Gordo came into the room. Lizzie quickly shut the laptop. "Um hey." She tried to act casual.
"Whats up?" he asked, suspiciously.
"Oh nothing." Lizzie replied quickly. "Just, um, checking my email. But I'm thirsty, so I think I'll go get a soda. You want one?" She started to leave the room.
"Sure." He replied. "I'm just going to put a tee-shirt on."
"Ok." Lizzie went downstairs. Once she had left, he creeped back into her room and opened the laptop.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Manders14: Lizzie? Are you there? Lizzie?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
TBC!
What will Gordo do? Will Miranda tell him? Review and I'll update soon!
