A/N: Okay, I am so sorry for the no-update lately. I'm so busy these days with soccer, friends, school, these program things, acting class, and packing for camp. We are going on a two-day camp, just like Lizzie did! It that a coincidence or what? Well, anyway, here's chapter 6.

Chapter 6: Finding the Truth

Lizzie's POV

"What is up with him?" Miranda asked me at lunch.

"Haven't a clue." I said, as I stared at Gordo, who was sitting with Parker and her friends.

Animated Lizzie: He ditched us to sit with Parker. That is so low. And the bad thing is that I don't even know why he's so pissed off! Ugh!

"He's never not ate with us at lunch... well, except for when Brooke..."

"Oh, please don't bring that up." I rolled my eyes as I wondered why Gordo would abandon me.

"Why don't you just ask him what wrong at rehearsal today?" Miranda examined the food on her plate and decided it wasn't human food.

"I... I don't know. I just get some weird feeling that if I ask him, he'll get even more annoyed by me. But still, I don't get why he's avoiding me. Was it something I said?"

"I don't know... I mean, you're the one that showed up on his doorstep the other day. Did anything happen there?"

"If something did, I would have remembered. But my mind's drawing a blank." I bit my nails.

"Tell me what happened, word-for-word." Miranda demanded.

I told her everything I could possibly remember. "And then, he's like, 'It's not that bad.' And then I'm like, 'Not that bad? I mean, no offense, Gordo, but I have to kiss you now. I find that really gross, disgusting, and creepy'. Then he gets all weird and freaky on me. And then he says he has watery eyes and-"

"Whoa. Hold up. Did you say... oh no." Miranda gets up and leaves, muttering 'this is bad' and 'how could I not notice' over and over, leaving me there in mid-sentence.

What was going on?

Gordo POV

I did all I could to avoid Lizzie at lunch, but then we had to meet at rehearsal. Just great. She was going to ask what was wrong, and I would just stand there and stutter.

"Gordo!" Lizzie calls from the hallway behind me. I sigh heavily and keep walking, pretending that I couldn't hear her.

"Gordo! I had no idea!" The voice gets closer, and I realize that it's not Lizzie, but Miranda.

"Had no idea about what?" I say simply as she catches up with me.

"You are soo head-over-heels."

I frown for a moment, then regain my confidence. "I know. Parker's so hot."

"Not *Parker*." She said, as if it was the stupidest idea in the world. "Lizzie."

I faked a laugh. "Where did you get that idea? That's crazy, it's insane, it's-"

"Scale of 1-10."

"10." I said instantly. Then I realized what I had said and wanted to kill myself. "I mean, that's how much I like Parker, not Lizzie. I mean, if I did like her, hypothetically speaking, I wouldn't-"

"Shut up, Gordo."

"Shuttin'." I become silent, waiting for Miranda to speak.

"This is so cool!" She exclaimed.

"Why do you think that me having a crush on Lizzie is 'so cool'?" I asked.

"Ha! So you *do* like her. I knew it."

"Well, yeah."

"Oh, my gosh, really!" Miranda's eyes become huge.

What was going on with her? "Yes."

She squeals. "You two have to get together."

"Easier said than done." I said, walking into Mr. Digg's classroom, leaving Miranda amazed.

A/N: Not a needed chapter, I know. My mind is blank at the moment. If I get some sudden inspiration, you'll be the first to know. Oh, an GO SEE THE MOVIE! IT ROCKS! I'm writing a sequel to the movie, called 'After Rome'. It'll be posted up soon, and maybe this one story called 'Matchmaker'. I'm not giving anything away!
