"Hey Lizzie."
"How's it going Lizzie?"
"Hey guys, I'm alright. What have you been up to? I've been so busy lately, I've barely seen you!" I said into the receiver of my portable phone.
"Well we've been around Lizzie." Gordo said into the phone. I stopped inspecting my nail polish and frowned at the tone of voice he had used.
"Yeah. Sorry about that. This week has just been so. Woah! Every time I look up someone different wants to talk to me."
"Little Miss Popularity." Miranda said but her voice what somewhat more cheerful than Gordo's. Least Miranda seemed to be happy for me.
"Listen, I have to go, Dad wants the phone but do you guys want to meet up at the Digi Bean tomorrow about eleven?" Gordo asked hurriedly.
"Sure. I'm in." I said and Miranda agreed.
"Ok good. See you then."
"Bye Gordo."
"Yeah see ya Gordon." Miranda said, I laughed; I could picture Gordo frowning, shaking his head and hanging up the phone and Miranda not even thinking twice about it.
"Hey Miranda," I said as I flopped down on my bed, hair splaying out around my head, "Did you notice Gordo's tone of voice when he spoke to me? Like he was.upset or something?" I asked, twirling the phone cord around my fingers.
"Nope, hadn't noticed, sorry." Miranda said, a little too quickly. Right ok then.
"Well I've gotta go finish off a school project, I'll see you tomorrow at eleven." I said.
"Sure thing Chica. Later." Miranda said then hung up. I sighed and hung up my own phone.
For the life of me I couldn't shake the weird way that Gordo had spoken to me and how he had left so suddenly. He said that his Dad had needed the phone but that didn't make sense. The Gordon's had two phone lines in their home.

I sat in the Digital Bean, bored out of my brain. Matt had decided to be a royal pain in the behind so I had left the house a half an hour early and taken a leisurely walk through the park on the way to the Digi Bean. Once I arrived, I ordered a Smoothie and sat back in my chosen booth people watching. It's actually pretty relaxing; maybe that's why Gordo does it in the first place. I was sitting there with my chin resting on my hand when I saw another hand, suspended in mid air, waving in front of my face. It took me a moment to realise that it was Miranda's hand waving in front of me and it was firmly attached to her wrist. I shook myself slightly and smiled up at her. She plopped down in the seat next to me and a second later Gordo say across from us.
"Hey guys." I said, not so bored anymore.
"Hey Lizzie." two voices chorused that did not belong to my friends'. I looked behind me, puzzled.
"Oh hey Ethan, Kylie." I said, smiling at my boyfriend and one of the girls from the Cheerleading Squad.
"Mind if we sit?" Ethan said, sitting anyway. I couldn't be sure but I thought I heard a whispered "No." come from Gordo's direction.
"Sure." I said, making room for Kylie.
After long we were all laughing and joking about the events that had happened at school in the passed week. During a lull in conversation, Gordo turned to me.
"Hey Lizzie-"
"And then that big oaf, Morgan fell right of his face in the mud during the varsity football game. It was a classic moment!" Ethan laughed heartily as he draped an arm around my shoulders. I laughed remembering the moment myself, normally I wouldn't go to watch the football games but being Ethan's girlfriend, it was kind of a necessity. I turned back to talk to Gordo and found his seat empty.
"Where'd he.go."? I said quietly as I saw his back disappear through the doors of the building. I made to get up but Ethan stopped me. I was about to ask why when I saw Kate enter through a side door. Ethan began paying more attention to me then. Figures. She had to walk in right when I wanted to go after my best friend.
"Miranda, what?" I asked her and she looked at me and abruptly stood up.
"Gordo's right. Shouldn't have bothered." She said and mimicked Gordo's exit.
Ok. What is going on? Weird behaviour from one friend can be tolerated, but two friends? Not good.

I stood waiting at Gordo's locker on Monday morning since he wouldn't return my calls all weekend so I figured he couldn't avoid me at school. Boy was I wrong.
"He Gordo." I said as he approached. If he heard me he gave no indication of doing so. He twisted the combination lock, opened the door, shoved books into his locker and removed a few at the same time. Then he turned on his heel and went back in the direction that he had come.
"Hey Gordo, I'm trying to talk to you here!" I said, slightly angry.
"Oh really. So now you have the time to talk to little old me do you? Well I don't have the time to talk to you Lizzie McGuire."
I...what.he.didn't just.rude.
I crossed my arms and decided to try a different approach.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you being such a dirk?" I asked. Blunt, real blunt.
At that last comment he whirled around, almost sending me knocking into him, he's stopped so fast.
"Me being a dirk? Oh that's real funny Lizzie. Ever considered being a stand up comic? Really, if you don't know what's wrong with me, then I am not going to tell you. You're a smart girl; you'll work it out. See you around Elizabeth."
Ouch. He has never called me Elizabeth. Oh the pain. I can't believe how much that actually hurt. I honestly don't know what I have done. I'm sure that Miranda will know. She'll talk to me. I walked to my first class on my own, which coincidently had both Miranda and Gordo in it. Along with Ethan and Kate. I sat down in my usual seat next to Gordo, who promptly stood up and moved to the other side of the room. Real mature. Especially for someone like Gordo. I rolled my eyes at him and took out my notebook and turned to the next clean page.
