Chapter 3
He opened the door to his room as he felt so nervous and scared to pick up the phone. He put his hand on the receiver and put it up as the phone was shaking in his hand. He pressed the numbers in as he waited impatiently for her to answer. She finally picked up on the four ring.
" Hello," Lizzie said.
" Hey Liz," Gordo whispered to her. He knew that she had been crying
and he felt horrible.
" Gordo, I am so sor...
" I know I forgive you, I was the one being stupid. I didn't mean to
judge your relationship with Ronny," said Gordo as he looked down at his
blue carpet. He knew that wasn't true, he didn't what her with him and it
hurt.
" You weren't stupid, I understand completely if you reacted like you
did. I would to if I saw you with a girl," said Lizzie
" You would," Gordo asked in shock
" Of course, I think Miranda would to," said Lizzie
" Oh I see. well you guys don't have to worry about that for quite
awhile now," said Gordo
" Gordo don't say that. you are a great friend and someday you will be
a great boyfriend even husband," said Lizzie
" Oh well I don't know about husband now, I am only 13 you know," said
Gordo
" I didn't mean now, I meant when...."
" I know what you meant, I was pulling your chain, God Lizzie you
don't even know when I am joking around or serious anymore, It's little sad,"
said Gordo
" I know, I am sorry. It's just that Ronny has me hooked on him and
I can't think straight sometimes," said Lizzie
"That's not really good for you if you keep thinking of him 24/7 and
not about anything else," said Gordo
" I know that. but I just can't stop it. Maybe I am in love with him,"
said Lizzie
" I see," Gordo said as he held his breath in so he could calm down
before he started to yell at her for ever liking the guy to began with and than he began to speak again " Is that how you feel"
" I think so, I don't know anything else that would explain it," said
Lizzie
" I do," said Gordo
" You do...what," Lizzie asked with little excitement in her voice.
" You might be obsessed with him but not feeling love for him at all," said Gordo
"Obsessed, I don't think so Gordo, I am not that crazy over him," said
Lizzie
" Well it can't be love," said Gordo
" And why not," Lizzie said as she had a little anger in her voice.
" I just know Lizzie, He is not the one for you," said Gordo
" What are you talking about. Of course he is. Who else would there be
if not him," Lizzie asked
" I don't know, someone who will know you like they know themselves I
guess," said Gordo
" The only people that know me like that are my parents, Matt, Miranda
and you, and I don't think I will be getting with any of them," said Lizzie
"I see," said Gordo as he looked like someone shot him straight
in the heart, He felt himself tearing up " Look I have to go"
" Oh ok. well I guess we will talk tomorrow in school than," said
Lizzie
" Sure whatever,"said Gordo
" Are you okay," Lizzie asked.
" Fine, I really have to go,"Gordo said in a crackling voice
" Um ok...sure goodnight," said Lizzie as she was waiting for him to
say goodnight back but he just hang up on her. Lizzie stood on the phone for
a few minutes confused and worried about what was wrong with Gordo.
