Chapter 12
Getting Out
"Maybe more?" Lizzie asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Gordo gulped while Lizzie smiled. Lizzie knew exactly what he meant, and truthfully, she used to like him more than a friend as well. "I meant maybe we would be more than friends, meaning, maybe a couple," Gordo finally said.
Lizzie smiled "A couple? Oh, yeah, I forgot, you used to have a crush on me, didn't you?"
"Yeah," Gordo said as he blushed.
Awww. Lizzie was feeling bad for making Gordo blush. "I am sorry, I mean, about the crush thing," Lizzie said as she looked down, "Listen, if it makes you feel any better, I liked you a little then, too."
"Really?" Gordo asked, curiously.
"Well, yeah," Lizzie said as she blushed.
"Wow," Gordo said, or was all he could manage to say. All this time of worriness was for nothing. Lizzie has a crush on him, or she used to.
At that moment, the lights flickered back on, which meant the power was on. To break the moment pf unbearable awkwardness, Lizzie got up to use the phone. "Well, I guess I will call my mom to see what she can do," Lizzie said as she nodded her head
Gordo got up as well, "Yeah, and when they unlock the door for you, I can walk home," he said as he put his hands in his back pocket. He started to follow Lizzie to the phone, but realized that maybe he didn't really have that right.
Lizzie called her mom and told her where she was and that she needed to be picked up. Jo said she would call someone to get her out of there.
A few minutes later, Lizzie returned to the back of the library, where Gordo was sitting. Gordo was reading as if nothing had happened.
"So, I guess this is it?" Lizzie said.
"Yeah," Gordo said, "Don't worry about your reputation, Lizzie. As far as everyone else is concerned, this rendezvous never happened."
"Gordo," Lizzie said, guiltily, and she walked over to Gordo, "It that really how you want it to be between us?"
"Well, yeah, I guess it is for the best," Gordo said.
"Yeah, maybe" Lizzie said distantly.
'Well," Gordo said and he stood up and held his hand out for her to shake it, "It has been fun while it lasted, McGuire."
Lizzie reluctantly shook his hand, "Oh, Gordo, you aren't mad, are you?"
"Mad?" Gordo huffed, "Nah, I am not mad. Hey maybe we should do this again sometime."
"Maybe. Oh, and Gordo?" Lizzie said.
"Yeah?"
"What should we do about Miranda?"
"What about Miranda? It was her loss," Gordo said.
"Yeah," Lizzie said. Just then, they heard and saw people in uniforms outside the library with a key. Gordo and Lizzie looked at each other and shook hands once more. Lizzie could hardly stand this unfriend-like act, and pulled Gordo into a hug, before she could stop herself. "Bye, Gordo," Lizzie said as she grabbed her things and walked to the front, where her mom was waiting.
"Well?" Jo asked.
"What?"
"Nothing, Lizzie. Let's just get you home and we will talk about this later," Jo said.
"Okay," Lizzie said "Thank you, officer," Lizzie to the officer who unlocked the library.
"You are welcome. Is there anyone else in here or were you the only one?" the officer asked.
"Uh, yeah, David Gordon is also here," Lizzie said and she could feel her mom's eyes staring at her in surprise.
"Well, where is he?" the officer asked impatiently.
"I am right here," Gordo said suddenly, "Lizzie, you forgot this," Gordo said and he handed her the backpack she brought with her.
"Thanks," Lizzie said. "Well, bye, Gordo."
"Bye," Gordo said and they walked outside and the officer locked the building back up.
"Gordo, would you like for me to give you a ride home?" Jo asked.
"Uh, no thank you, Mrs. McGuire," he said as he glanced at Lizzie, "I would rather walk."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, but thanks." Gordo said as he started walking to his house.
