"Beep…. Gordo, its Lizzie. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I need to talk to you. Call me. Bye….Beep." Gordo laid on his bed, this was Lizzie's fifth message. He didn't return any of them yet. He just laid there. He couldn't believe he told Lizzie that he liked her, and now he really didn't want to confront her. She wouldn't be the same around him. The phone rang again, he just laid there it was another message from Lizzie that he wasn't going to return. He fell asleep to the sound of her voice pleading for forgiveness.
The next day at school Gordo tried to avoid Lizzie, but his attempts failed when he reached first period. He into the class and saw Lizzie talking to Mike. Then he took a seat on the other side of the room. Lizzie got up and walked over to him.
"Gordo." He ignored her.
"Gordo, please talk to me. Im sorry. Did you get any of my messages." Lizzie asked. He continued to ignore her.
"Fine, we've been friends are whole lives, I say one wrong thing and now your not talking. Be that way then." Lizzie got up and went back to her seat. Gordo had a tear in his eye, so did Lizzie. First period was not the right place to end their friendship.
At lunch Gordo walked right by Miranda and Lizzie and sat by himself.
"Miranda, please go talk to him." Lizzie pleaded.
"Why me, its between you two. Not me." Miranda stated.
"Please, he wont talk to me, please."
"Okay fine." Miranda got up and walked over to Gordo.
"What do you want? If its about Lizzie, I don't want to talk about it." Gordo snapped.
"God sorry, I didn't do anything wrong you don't have to snap at me." Miranda fought back.
"Just leave me alone."
"Gordo, Lizzie told me that you said that you like her."
"Well I don't. some things came out wrong yesterday." Gordo added.
"Whatever, I'll talk to you later?"
"Yeah whatever." Miranda walked back to Lizzie.
"Well?" Lizzie asked.
"Nothing, he said that he doesn't like you. That what he said yesterday came out wrong." Miranda stated.
"I feel really bad, Miranda."
"Don't worry, he's just moody. He will get over it." Miranda assured Lizzie.
"Oh look who's coming." Miranda smiled. Mike walked over and sat next to Lizzie.
"Hey girls."
"Hey Mike." Miranda smiled.
"Hey." Lizzie said sadly.
"So what happened yesterday with that guy? Gordo right?" Mike asked.
"Yeah well we got in a fight." Lizzie answered.
"That sucks."
"Yeah."
"Well uh, do you still want a boyfriend?" Mike asked.
"Uhhhh." Lizzie said unsure.
"Because I want to be yours." Mike added.
"Uhhhh." Lizzie continued.
"Let me give you some time to think about it, Later." Mike got up and walked away.
"Lizzie! Why didn't you say yes?" Miranda screamed.
"I don't know," Lizzie answered,
"Im a little confused right now."
"Your not talking about Gordo, are you?" Miranda asked.
"I don't know." Lizzie got up and walked away.
After lunch Gordo was at his locker getting books for his next class when he heard Mike talking to Kate.
"So did she say yes?" Kate asked.
"Not yet." Mike answered.
"Well, well, it looks as if someone's gonna owe Kate some Money." Kate said happily.
"I think she likes that Gordo guy." Mike answered.
"That fag? Who would ever like him?" Mike shrugged,
"Why did you bet me to date her?" He asked.
"Because, Its going to be hilarious when she finds out it's a bet." Kate laughed.
"Yeah huh, I think she really likes me." Mike said proudly.
"Why do you want to hurt what did she do to you?"
"Nothing really, she just bugs the shit out of me." Kate answered.
"Oh Okay."
"Good, now get her to say yes and the moneys yours!" Kate smiled as she closed her locker door.
"I've got to tell Lizzie." Gordo said to himself.
"Hey Lizzie." Miranda yelled as she caught up to her.
"Finally 6th period. I thought this day would never end." Lizzie said happily.
"And it's the best class, drama." Miranda smiled.
"Yeah, Mikes in it." Lizzie smiled.
"So what are you gonna say?" Miranda asked.
"Im gonna say yes. I mean he's hott, and sweet, what more could I want?" Lizzie asked.
"Nothing more." Miranda said happily.
"Your right im going to say yes, if Gordo wants to be a dick, let him. I wont talk to him either."
"Oh look there he is." Miranda pointed.
"Hey Lizzie, Miranda, over here." Mike shouted. Lizzie and Miranda sat next to Mike. The bell rang.
"Okay class today we are going to do some acting." said the drama teacher, Mr.Hovis.
"Um Lizzie and Mike, come up to the front." he continued.
"Okay why don't you two do scene twelve from the play we are reading. This is a play I wrote myself its based on teenagers like you. Its going to be the Winter school play. I want to see how you kids interpret it. Okay Miss. McGuire you are Sara. Mr. Davis your Zach, Take it away.
"Sara, are you okay?" Zach (Mike) asked.
"What do you think? I just got embarrassed in front of the whole school, and the guy I like." Sara (Lizzie) answered.
"Sara,"
"Yeah Zach?" Sara (Lizzie) asked. Mike pulled back Lizzie's hair,
"I love you." Then they kissed. The whole class clapped.
"Great work. You two have some real chemistry going on there." Complimented Mr. Hovis.
"Okay now lets have someone else. Miss. Sanders, Mr. Craft, why don't you try the same scene. As Kate and Ethan did the scene, Lizzie and Mike were having a conversation in the back of the room.
"So Lizzie, do you want to go out with me?" Mike asked. Lizzie kissed him.
"I'll take that as a yes." Mike smiled. They continued kissing.
"Miss. McGuire, Mr. Davis, your scenes over now, you can unlock your lips." Mr. Hovis interrupted their make-out session.
"Sorry." Said Lizzie blushing. Kate smiled. Mikes phone started vibrating. It was his text messaging.
::Kate- r u 2 going out?::
::Mike- yea::
::Kate-remember it has 2 last @ least 2 wks!.::
"Who was that?" Lizzie asked.
"A friend of mine asking me something."
"Oh."
After school Lizzie was at her locker getting some stuff when Gordo ran up.
"Lizzie." Gordo said out of breath. She ignored him.
"Lizzie please, this is important."
"What?" She snapped.
"Its Mike, he has this bet with Kate. Kate bet Mike to go out with you. I heard them talking after lunch." Gordo said still out of breath.
"God Gordo. I didn't think you were low enough to make up some lame story to get me to hate Mike. Well your to fucking late. Im going out with him. So why don't you go study or something." Lizzie yelled.
"Please Lizzie, believe me, Mike.." Gordo started.
"Mike what?" Mike interrupted, he had his arm around Lizzie. He kissed her gently then he asked,
"So you guys made up? That's cool." Mike said.
"No we didn't, lets go." Lizzie slammed her locker shut and walked away with Mike.
As Gordo was walking home he ran into Miranda.
"Hey Miranda, I gotta tell you something."
"Hey, what do you have to tell me?" Miranda asked.
"Its about Lizzie. Kate bet Mike to go out with Lizzie."
"That's not true, its probably just some rumor." Miranda added.
"Really."
"Oh my god. that's so cute, your jealous." Miranda laughed.
"Im not jealous. I don't like Lizzie, that way. Anyway you need to believe me, she wont."
"Gordo, I know you like Lizzie. Damn everyone knows you like Lizzie. Except Lizzie. Anyway, tell her how you feel. Tell her you like her then maybe she will listen, this is my house so I gotta go, bye." Miranda assured Gordo then she walked into her house. Gordo kept walking. When he got to Lizzies house he saw Lizzie and Mike making out on the porch. He stood there and waited for Mike to leave before he went up to Lizzie.
"Lizzie."
"What now?"
"Please believe me.."
"No I wont, your just jealous, you don't like Mike, therefore you don't want him to be with me." Lizzie screamed.
"Im happy with Mike. You're my friend your suppose to be happy for me. Not sabotage my relationships." Lizzie slammed the door.
