When Lizzie got home, she found Mrs. McGuire doing laundry, "Hi mom," she sighed.
"Lizzie, how was school?" Mrs. McGuire asked.
"Fabulous." Lizzie replied, fingering her gold locket.
Mrs. McGuire glanced at the locket, "Is that new?"
"Umm, yeah." Lizzie smiled.
"Where'd you get it?" she asked.
"A secret admirer!" Lizzie squealed.
"Oh! I had one of those at your age."
"Really? Who was it?" Lizzie asked.
"One of my best friends, your dad!" Mrs. McGuire grinned.
Lizzie's eyes widened, "Your best friend?"
"Yeah. Just like you and Gordo," she winked.
"Right. Well, I'm going upstairs." Lizzie said self-consciously.
She flopped onto her bed and started thinking.
Lizzie's Pov:
Can it really be Gordo? The guy I've known for as long as I can remember? I kind of hope it is. But, I don't know why. Could I be falling for Gordo?
Just then the phone rang.
"Hello," she said into the receiver.
"Hey, Lizzie." Gordo said.
Her heart started beating faster, "Umm…hi, Gordo." Lizzie tried to steady her voice.
"I'm meeting Miranda at the Digital Bean, and I told her I would find out if you wanted to go. So, do you want to come?" he asked.
"Sure!" she said enthusiastically.
"Okay, I'll see you there." Gordo replied.
"Okay!" Then they hung up.
Lizzie was thirty minutes late; by the time she was done primping.
She looked at herself in the mirror, giving herself a nod of approval.
Lizzie's Pov:
Why am I doing this? I know why. I want to impress Gordo. I've never cared about how he thought I looked before, I don't even know if he's my secret admirer. Chances are he's not.
The thought made her frown and her stomach seemed to drop, as well as her shoulders.
She got Mrs. McGuire to drop her off at the Digital Bean, "Hey Gordo, Miranda, sorry I'm late."
"It's okay. We just got here too." Miranda said.
"Really? What made you guys late?" Lizzie wanted to know.
"I couldn't get my hair right, and Gordo's mom ran out of gas on the way here. We already ordered you a milkshake, with a cute umbrella." Miranda told her.
"That's what counts. Thanks." Lizzie laughed.
"Well, has your secret admirer contacted you?" Miranda questioned.
"Miranda, I saw you an hour ago! And I don't know if he has my number." Lizzie cut her eyes at Gordo.
Toon Lizzie:
Did he just flinch?
"So, no?" Miranda asked.
"No." Lizzie confirmed.
The next day at school:
Lizzie opened her locker to get her books, for her next class, and found a card in the bottom of her locker.
It had a pretty songbird on the cover.
She opened it up.
It said:
Your voice is like a birds melodic song,
Your smile shines like the sun on the clearest summer day,
Your hair is like a crown of spun gold set upon your head,
And your eyes are like the deepest blue-green ocean.
Love,
Your Secret Admirer
Lizzie sighed, "Wow," she whispered.
Miranda walked up behind her, "Hey, Lizzie," she said cheerily.
"Hi, Miranda." Lizzie closed the card.
"What's that?" Miranda questioned.
"It's a card from my secret admirer!" Lizzie squealed.
"Let me see!" Miranda demanded.
"Here." Lizzie handed it over.
Miranda read it twice, "Wow."
Lizzie smiled, "I know."
Gordo walked up, "Hey, guys."
"Hi, Gordo," they both said mulling over the card again.
"Look at my card!" Lizzie squeaked.
Gordo visibly started.
"Gordo, are you okay?" Lizzie asked.
"Yeah," he nodded.
