Just some background knowledge, all the past chapters all happened in late summer before sophmore year. Just for writing purposes the characters seem to be in the same places they were during the show. Meaning some are still naive, some are still mean, and others are still desperately in love. And I didn't add Miranda's character in here, just because im not THAT gifted a writer to add her in =) even though she's one of the bestest characters.

Well anyways, thanks for the reviews and I hope you like this chappie!

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.Chapter 4 - True Love Doesn't Exist.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~

(A couple weeks after Gordo returned from his trip)

The first bell rung with seemingly no effect on the students crowding in the hallways. Catching up on their first day of school outfits and all information on over-the-summer happenings. Lizzie quickly grabbed her first and second period materials and hurried her way towards homeroom. Watching from afar was Gordo. He stood deadlocked in one spot just watching the way her hair swayed from side to side while she rushed to her class, much to the dismay of the short redheaded freshman behind him. She passed with a over-exasperated sigh, while other more experienced students nodded to themselves knowingly.

It's been a couple weeks since Gordo returned and even longer since they had a real conversation. Whoever said communication was the core of a relationship couldn't have been more right.

After their last talk, each walked away with totally different viewpoints. Lizzie thought she made it perfectly clear there was no chance of any boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, while Gordo thought it was a 'maybe'. Each expected the other to make the first move. The longer they went without talking, the harder it was to start talking again. If only they had talked longer...

Gordo made it to homeroom on time. The day whizzed by without much thought and before he knew it the final bell rung, but didn't leave school because three times a week he tudors some elementary school kids.

By the time his tudoring session ended, he had been temporarily distracted from Lizzie. He traversed the empty, silent hallways on his way to his locker, listening to his footsteps echo. On his way, he saw a certain someone. With his curiosity piqued, he approached her.

At a loss at what to say, he just stood there just a couple feet from her. For a couple seconds it went unnoticed until she turned her head and stared at him blankly.

"What are you doing here?" she said with a touch of scorn in her voice.

"I just wanted to ask, why did you give me advice the other day? It just doesn't seem like you at all. And why do you even care about anything going on with me and Lizzie?"

Kate sighed. "I don't believe true love exists. Prove me wrong."

With that she spun on her heel with her bookbag slung over her shoulder and her cheerleading outfit in a bag next to her. Slightly confused, Gordo grabbed his books and walked home.

Er. This chapter wasn't the greatest but this story isnt that long to begin with, so i'm just gonna stretch out the events to make it longer. the next chapter will pretty much be Lizzie's point of view and probably as short as this. The good news(or so i would like to think) is that chapters will come out on a pretty good pace.

Any questions or comments are gladly received.
