Ok. I think I've let the suspense kill you enough. Ladies and Gentlemen! I present to you, the third (but not final) chapter of 'Lizzie and Gordo?'!

Chapter 3: Lizzie and Gordo

Scene: Inside Digital Bean

*Lizzie is sitting all by herself at a table and it is already 4:20

Lizzie's inner-voice: Where is he? He said to meet him right here at 4:00. Maybe I miscomprehended. Did he say 4:00 or 5:00? In the Digital Bean or outside in front of the Digital Bean? Now I'm all confused.

*Just then, Gordo walks in the door, and its like one of those slow motion entrances you see in corny movies all the time. Lizzie doesn't see him come in. Gordo walks over to Lizzie and taps her on the shoulder.

Gordo: Hey Lizzie.

*Lizzie is so surprised by the tap on the shoulder, that she jumps and spills her smoothie all over the table and floor.

Lizzie: Oh my goodness! Uummmm…hi Gordo.

Gordo: (announcing) Can we please get a busboy over here to help my friend out?

Lizzie's inner-voice: Why did he say 'friend'? He knows we're not just friends. I mean, are we? What's going on? What would he have said instead of 'friend' anyway?

*A busboy comes over to where Lizzie was sitting to clean up. Lizzie and Gordo move to a different table.

Gordo: Anyway, Lizzie. I'm sorry I'm late. But I have a good reason.

*Gordo reaches into his pocket and pulls out a silver bracelet with little gemstones embedded in it. He lifts up Lizzie's hand, and puts the bracelet on her wrist.

Lizzie: Oh my gosh, Gordo. It's…it's gorgeous.

Gordo: Ya, well. Whenever you, Miranda, and me all go to the mall together, you would always look at this, but never buy it. So I bought it for you. That's why I'm sort of late.

Lizzie: But Gordo. I know I'm always looking at it and everything, but I never buy it because it's so expensive. How much did this cost?

Gordo: $59.99.

Lizzie: Gordo! I can't believe you spent so much for a bracelet. A bracelet for me.

Gordo. Well, you're worth every last penny. Lizzie, from the very first moment I ever saw your radiant face, which was probably even before the 4th grade, I knew that I would love you forever.

Lizzie: Gordo…

Gordo: Please, Lizzie, let me finish. Lizzie I care about you so much. I know that we're only teenagers, and that love is a really strong word for people like us, but I don't think I could ever love anyone else the way that I love you. You're friendly, charming, and positively beautiful. That kiss in the movie theater was probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. I've always wanted to tell you how I feel for you, but I guess I've just been to worried about what your reaction might be. If you were disgusted by it, then that would ruin our friendship. And that's one thing I could never bear to lose. I really, really love you, and I think now would be the perfect time to ask you, will you be my girlfriend?

Lizzie's inner-voice: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

Am I happy or angry or what? What is this weird feeling? Do I actually like Gordo?

*Lizzie is silent, but then she glances down at the bracelet Gordo had given her, and the words he had said repeat over and over again in her head: "I don't think I could ever love anyone else the way that I love you…"

Lizzie's inner-voice: He really cares about me. And he is a really great friend. I guess I owe it to him to be his girlfriend. And he is kind of cute. And smart. And funny. Oh, what the heck, I guess I like Gordo too!

Gordo: Lizzie?

Lizzie: Gordo, I, I'll be your girlfriend. I guess I like you too. I mean, I did have a crush on you in the forth grade. Maybe that crush has stuck with me throughout the years.

*Gordo lets out the most gigantic smile, put his hands on Lizzie's hands, and kisses her.
