Chapter Three

Lizzie's POV

"S-say what?" I asked.

Omigosh, why did Gordo have to do this to me? I had embarrassed myself earlier...when Gordo shook his head and his curls went all bouncy and I got so nervous that I cracked up so much I nearly choked to death. I was SO embarrassed!

"If your house was burning down, and you were trapped in your room, what one boy would you want to save you?" Gordo repeated.

*Of course I already knew the answer to that.*

"Well, there's this one guy," I began, "He's so sweet. He's really nice, he's cute, and he's always there for me no matter what. We're almost like *best friends*."

"How come you've never mentioned him before?" Gordo asked.

"I don't know..." I said slowly. How come he didn't get the hint??"

Gordo looked out the window. "Is it Tudgeman?" he asked.

I was shocked.

"TUDGEMAN!? No way! As if!" I shrieked.

"Sorry! It was just a guess!" Gordo said.

*How come he doesn't get it?*

"Hello?" I finally said, "Don't you get it?"

"Get what?"

"That the guy I' talking about is-" I threw my hands over my mouth. I almost told him!

"The guy you're talking about is...?"

"Ugh!" I said and stood up. "Gordo!"

He stood up. "What?" he asked.

We were only inches apart.

No, wait. Now we were centimetres apart.

He took a step closer.

So did I.

I could feel his breath on my face.

His breath smelled minty fresh, as if he had just brushed his teeth. I suppose he chewed some gum after he ate.

It feels hot against my cheek. Hot and calm, just like him.

Omigosh!! Did I just say that GORDO is HOT!?

....Well, if you take a good look at him, he's kind of good looking....

I don't know why, but I LOVE his hair! I think it looks way better long than it did short. I hope he keeps it that way. I just wanna run my fingers through it....

Mmm, he also smells good. Like Ivory soap. I'm glad he doesn't wear cologne...I don't like it when guys wear that stuff. It smells weird and it's so strong that it makes my eyes water.

His lips look so soft...I don't know many guys who ear ChapStick, but Gordo looks as if he wears it everyday....I wonder if they feel as good as they look.

What am I thinking!?!?

I can't think about this anymore.

Oh, wait. I can if I WANT to.

Because I LIKE GORDO!!!

I never wanted to admit it to Miranda.....but now.....OMIGOSH, I like Gordo a LOT.....I wonder if he still likes me?

*Please, please,P PLEASE, Gordo, KISS ME!!!*

How come I suddenly want to kiss Gordo so much?

Don't ask, because I don't know the answer either.

I tried to picture us kissing....

"Lizzie?"

I snapped out of my daydream.

"Uh huh?" I asked.

"What's this guy's name?"

"Uh....can't you tell by now, Gordo?"

"Huh?"

"This guy, that I like, and I are like *best friends*..." I said 'best friends' super slow so he would get a clue.

I took a step closer.

Gordo took a step closer.

Then he leaned in, and I leaned in, and suddenly our lips locked tightly together.
