As the Jr High graduates of Hillridge Jr. High steped out onto the stage, everyone clapped.
But there was only one problem. Gordo didn't really know what he was going to say! He agreed
to give the President's speech....for Lizzie, and only Lizzie. As he was thinking about what
to say he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Psst...Gordo!" Lizzie whispered.
"Yeah?" he whispered back.
"Are you sure you wanna do this? I mean, do you know what your going to say?"
"Lizzie of course I'm sure! I'd do anything for you, and well, I want to do this."
"Okay...if your sure.." Lizzie replied.
"Yeah. I'm sure." he whispered back to her as he gave her a smile. Lizzie thought she might
faint.
"And now, Mr. David Gordon will be giving the Student Council President's speech, because
Lisa Balwend is absent with the flu." announced Principal Tweety.
As Gordo walked up to the rostrum, he started to feel nervous. Really nervous. But he now had
an idea of wht he would talk about.
"Good evening. Wow. It's already graduation. I know these last two years in Jr. High have been
the best and worse years of my life. But I think the main thing that helped me survive was my
friends. Without them, I wouldn't survive. So, I think the class trip to Rome is going to be
very exciting. For all of us. And I think everybody here would agree that the best part of
Jr. High was the friendships that were built up into alot of stronger relationships. So, in
conclusion just remember that in High School, no matter how many bad things happen, you'll
always have your friends. Thank you."
And with that, everybody stood up and clapped. Gordo didn't really expect a standing ovation,
but it was very flattering.
Every student knew what he meant by "stronger relationships". Lizzie and him. Although none
of them said anything to him, they all knew.
Everybody in the builing was touched by his speech. Lizzie eccpecialy.
As the music played all of the students got up to get their diploma. Gordo was before Lizzie
and Miranda, so he decided to wait for them. When it was Lizzie's turn, she got it, waved to
her parents...and failed to see the microphone cord. She tripped! But just before she fell
to the ground, somebody caught her. She looked up to see who it was. Gordo.
"Lizzie are you okay?" a concerened Gordo asked.
"Yeah. I think I am. Now." Lizzie relpied.
As she got out of Gordo's arms, she remembered what he had said in his speech. She felt that
she needed to do something.
"Gordo?"
"Yeah?"
And for the second time that day, she hugged him.
"What was that for?" Gordo asked.
Not that he didn't like it. But he just had to know.
"For what you said in your speech. It was really sweet." Lizzie said blushing.
But before Gordo could reply, Miranda ran up to them.
"I got it! I graduated!" Miranda exclaimed.
"I see.." Lizzie said with a little bit of sarcasm in her voice.
"You know what this means right?" Miranda said.
"Yeah! We're going to Rome!" Lizzie exclaimed.
Both of the girls squealed and jumped up and down.
"Girls.." Gordo said as he rolled his eyes.
