CHAPTER 2

Merry Christmas

It was Christmas Eve in the McGuire house. Mr. McGuire and Mr. Gordon were sitting in the living room talking about their old school days. Mrs. McGuire and Mrs. Gordon were in the kitchen drinking coffee and talking. Matt was in his room with his friend, Lanny, and girlfriend Milina. That leaves Lizzie and Gordo, they were sitting on the couch near the fireplace.

"Lizzie."

"Yeah."

"Merry Christmas," said Gordo with a smile on his face handed Lizzie a small wrapped package.

"Oh Gordo you didn't have.,"

"I wanted to," said Gordo cutting her off, "open it."

When Lizzie opened the gift she saw the exact same necklace that was in the store window at the mall.

"Oh Gordo how did you afford this."

"It doesn't matter," said Gordo "if it makes you happy then it was worth it."

"It makes me very happy," said Lizzie smiling at Gordo, "I love you,"

"I love you too," said Gordo as they both leaned in and kissed their parents were watching.

"I always knew those two would get together," said Jo.
