The thought of change made another chill run up her spine…but not the kind that meant she was excited…the kind that was scary.

She had always hated change, and such a big one was going to take some getting used to.

Even if Gordo wasn't the guy who liked her, having a boyfriend again was going to be different.

Ronnie had broken her heart, and even though it had been a year, she still wasn't sure she was ready for another relationship.

She began to brush her hair with vigor, as she thought of Ronnie.

That dog. (AN/ Sorry to you readers who like Ronnie. This is from Lizzie's point of view. And, of course she thinks he's awful.)

Miranda had seen him at the mall last week, standing in a movie ticket line with a girl.

According to Miranda's re-telling of the scene, the girl had been hanging on Ronnie's every word, like a lovesick puppy.

Lizzie almost gagged at the thought.

So, she tried to think of someone else.

The first person she thought of was Gordo.

Not satisfied with this, (Because it again brought up the issue, scratch that, the fact that she liked Gordo), she concentrated on applying even strokes throughout her hair with a circular brush.

As she got ready, she tried to remember every guy she'd ever met in school, trying to make a mental list of the guys who could be her secret admirer.

For her outfit, she had chosen, a pair of black stretch jeans with alternating blue and white rhinestones that started from the waistband down the side of her legs, all the way to the bottom. And for her shirt she had chosen, a white tank top, with the word Cutie stamped on the front in blue jewels. She had chosen to wear her hair down and straight, with a pressed on white flower. She then went on to jewelry, which included: silver heart necklace; a pair of blue, heart-shaped earrings; a sliver heart bracelet to match the necklace; and several thump rings.

And as she was adding the final touches to her make-up and hair two hours later, a horrible thought occurred to her.

What if it was…Larry Tudgeman?

Lizzie frowned at her reflection in the mirror and sighed, "Just what are you getting yourself into, McGuire?" she asked herself out loud.

She grabbed her purse off her dresser and headed downstairs.

She found her mother in the kitchen, "Hey, mom."

"Hey, sweetheart. Are you ready to go meet your secret admirer at The Digital Bean?"

Lizzie had gotten permission to go earlier after receiving the letter.

"As ready as I'll ever be." Lizzie replied nervously.

"It'll be okay, sweetie. You'll see." Joe assured her.

Lizzie took a deep breath as she slid into the passenger's seat next to her mom, a few minutes later.

They soon arrived at The Digital Bean, and with one more, unsure glance, Lizzie waved to Joe as she drove off grinning.

Lizzie slowly stepped inside the doors that led into her favorite hangout.

It had never seemed so massive and imposing.

Lizzie inhaled the aroma of the different pastries and coffees, before beginning to search the crowd.

She was looking for any familiar face and smiled as she caught a glimpse of Ethan Craft sitting at a table, as she made her visual perusal.

Lizzie's head jerked back to Ethan as she noticed what he was wearing.

No!

Could it be?

Apparently it could, because there Ethan Craft sat, dressed in blue jeans…and…and…and a blue shirt.
