" Listen Gordo, tomorrow is the lock in. I just have a lot on my mind. What poor ole dateless dance Lizzie is going to wear and what to bring."

I really meant that I am not dragging along my Cinderella sleeping bag. NO WAY! I'd rather sleep in dirt. Mr. Snuggles isn't going either.

" Nobody's asked you yet?!"

" No."

What was Gordo trying to get at?

" Good, I mean."

" What Gordo? Good? Come one were going to high school. The last impression you make is how people will remember you forever."

" Why do you always have to keep an image with people? Why can't you be happy the way you are and with the friends you have?"

" Gordo. never mind. Gosh I wish that Miranda was here, she would be able to help me."

" Why is it always Miranda? You never turn to me for anything. I'm just Gordo the lousy guy who gets dragged along to chick flicks, shopping trips, and can't ever stop hearing about who Miranda likes or who you like."

Gordo was starting to get really mad. I'd never seen him get this mad before. The last time he was even the slightest mad was when our science teacher was giving him B's when he thought he should be getting A's for his science projects. I thought he was done blowing off his steam but nope, he kept going.

" Have you two ever considered me? Do you think that I don't have any problems? Least you have Miranda to turn to. I Have Tudgeman and Ethan. Like I'm really going to tell them things."

" Gordo listen."

" No McGuire. I have been listening for too long. I'm done." Gordo just walked away. I hated when he called me McGuire. Even thought he did it most the time. The way he said my first name. Lizzie was like heaven. McGuire wasn't bad when he said it in a nice way but, just now McGuire sounded like he was convicting me of a crime I never committed. Now what was I supposed to do. My only friend to hang around with tomorrow was furious with me!

I was sick to my stomach life wasn't going right at all. I needed to go home I needed to be alone. Most of all I needed to get away from Gordo. I couldn't bare to look at him. He was my only real friend left and I had just got into a fight with him. He was right though. Miranda and I had never really considered Gordo's feelings. We had been caught up to much in our own little worlds that when Gordo would try to tell us things that we wouldn't even care. Well I know for a fact that I wouldn't want to tell Gordo my deepest secrets, so why would he want to tell Miranda or me.

Finally the bell rang to go home. As soon as I walked in Matt jumped out from behind a plant. I screamed.

" Go away."

" What's wrong did little Lizzie have a bad day?"

" Shut-up Matt, when your 14 and are coming home depressed don't come running to me because I will remember everything that you had to say when I came home after a bad day."

I ran upstairs and slammed my doors. I learned that when I do that I usually get both parents running upstairs to yell and see what's wrong. And of course as predicted there was a knock on the door.

" Can I come in?"

It was my mom. She always had comforting way of helping me deal with things? But I wasn't about to tell her everything because I don't like her getting into my business with my friends. I knew she knew that had liked Gordo and that I still might. So I did the next best thing I was going to use the good ole I have this friend.

" Sure."

I sat up and wiped my eyes because I had started to cry.

" I thought we discussed the deal with slamming. Oh honey what's wrong it looks like your crying."

" I just had a rough day at school that's all."

" Do you care to talk about it?"

Here it goes the I have a friend thing lets see if I can fool her.

" Well you see I have this friend, who likes one of there friends and they just got into a big fight and he said something's that really made her think about there friendship. Now my friend is really confused and doesn't know what to do because she doesn't know how to apologize for a life time of mistakes she made."

" Oh Lizzie, does this have anything to do with you and Gordo?"

What how dare she think like that. well after all it is but I wasn't about to let her in on my little secret.

" NO! I told you it's my friend."

" Ohhh, well I think your friend should, let her friend cool off for awhile and then see where things go for there. But she should also consider apologizing sometime too."

Why is that mothers seem like that know everything but just go along with your stories to make you feel bad?

" Ok thanks I'll tell her that."

Well now I knew semi what I had to do. But I didn't think that Gordo would be talking to me anytime soon. But there was still one thing that bothered my mind before Gordo got mad. After I said I still didn't have a date, he said good. Maybe I was the girl he wanted to ask or maybe his real data just flopped out on him. Well now there was no chance he would be asking me anymore.

Author Note: You like? Well I've been really debating on how things should go from here. I have some different ideas that could happen at the lock-in I just have to pick which one would work out the best. If you have any ideas please post reviews! O yea it's PG now but it might turn to P-13 when they get to the lock-in!
