A/N: I know it's been forever since I've updated, but I've been thinking
about this story for a while, trying to decide where I'm going with it. So,
hopefully, it was worth the wait! I'll try to update my other stories this
weekend, too, so be on the lookout! And, please review. The only way my
stories work is if I get feedback! Thanks!
Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie McGuire. Disney does. So there.
A Summer of Changes
Chapter 14: Hey Jealousy
"Lets play a few games before we go on any rides." Lizzie suggested, as she and Gordo neared the midway.
"Ok. That's cool." Gordo agreed.
The pair began to stroll up and down the aisles to find a game they wanted to play. They passed balloon pop, bean bag toss, and skee-ball before they came across Lizzie's favorite.
"Look Gordo!" she exclaimed, halting in front of a booth. "It's that water gun game!" She pointed excitedly at the water guns that aimed at balloons in order to fill them until they burst. Lizzie grabbed a few quarters out of her pocket and handed them to the attendant. Gordo did the same. Both sat down on the little stools, poised the water guns, and began shooting.
"I bet I can beat you!" Lizzie exclaimed.
"That's what you think!" Gordo retorted, as he pulled hard on the trigger.
Both took aim, and gave a final shot. Both balloons popped at exactly the same time.
"Tie!" they both yelled at once.
The attendant looked over at them for a second, and proceeded to speak to them. "Good job." He remarked, his eyes shifting over to Lizzie.
"Thanks." She replied, her eyebrow arched a little.
"Have I seen you here before?" the attendant asked. Lizzie looked at him. He looked to be about 16 or 17. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. She didn't recognize him from anything.
"I dunno, maybe." She replied. "We vacation here every year. I've been to this carnival before."
"I've only been working here for a month." He explained. "And I'm pretty sure I would remember meeting someone as beautiful as you." He gave her a huge smile.
Gordo rolled his eyes.
Lizzie blushed. "Thanks." She replied.
'Come on Lizzie!' Gordo thought to himself. Couldn't she see through this act?
Lizzie giggled.
'Apparently not.' Gordo decided. He let out a sigh, but it went unnoticed.
"So, do you have a name?" asked Lizzie, twirling her hair around her finger.
'Oh no! Not the hair twirl!' Gordo thought to himself. That was a technique she reserved for advanced flirting. It was only used on prime candidates, such as Ethan Craft. Gordo would gladly sell his soul to the devil for a hair twirl from Lizzie McGuire. A hair twirl meant that Lizzie meant business.
"Yeah." He replied. "It's Josh. Do you have a name?"
"I'm Lizzie." She answered.
Gordo cleared his throat.
"Oh!" she realized. "And this is Gordo."
"Well, maybe I'll see you around." Josh remarked. "Lizzie." He added.
That was it, Gordo was about to lose all of his dinner right there.
"Maybe you will." Lizzie replied.
Gordo watched the two of them for a minute, and then pulled Lizzie away from the stand. "Lets go." He remarked.
Lizzie noticed the expression on Gordo's face. He looked.he looked hurt. Why though?
"Gordo, what is wrong with you?" Lizzie demanded.
"Uh, um, too much pizza." He replied quickly. "Yeah, I ah, I needed to get some fresh air."
"Gordo, we're already outside." Lizzie pointed out. What was going on with him? "And I'm pretty sure Josh was about to ask me out!"
"Ask you out?" asked Gordo, in disbelief.
"Oh, so I'm not good enough to go out with?" she asked, getting madder by the minute. "What am I, some kind of freak?"
"No, Lizzie, that's not what I meant." Gordo reassured her. No way was it what he meant. In his opinion, she was completely and totally perfect to date. He certainly thought so. "I mean, you just met him, and he really didn't seem like your type."
Lizzie gave Gordo a strange look. Could he be envious? Maybe he really did like her. Lizzie's heart jumped at the thought, but she kept cool on the outside. "So I have a type now?"
"Yeah." Gordo replied.
"So who is my type Gordo?" Lizzie asked, interestedly. 'This ought to be good.' She thought.
'Me! I'm your type!' Gordo yelled out to himself. "I dunno, just not that guy." He replied, regretting such a stupid answer, the moment it came out of his mouth.
"Right." Lizzie nodded her head sarcastically. She headed toward the Ferris Wheel.
"You know." she called to Gordo over her shoulder. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were jealous." She laughed.
"Me jealous?" Gordo asked. 'Completely jealous' He thought to himself.
She smiled at him coyly.
"Don't flatter yourself McGuire." He remarked catching up to her.
Lizzie gave him a playful shove and they both laughed.
If only she knew....
TBC!!!
