Disclaimer: I still don't own the characters. I know everyone thought that night would make a difference, but nope. Still a broke college student. sighs
"You love who, Loosie?" Lizzie closed her eyes, hoping that it would make the speaker go away. She did not want to deal with Kate Saunders right now. When she opened her eyes, she was upset to see that Kate was sitting across from her. Luckily, she was without her usual posse.
"Who do you think, Kate?"
"Are you trying to steal MY Ethan?" Kate practically snarled.
"Kate, I haven't even LOOKED at Ethan since freshman year. Why would I start now?"
"So it is Gordo."
"Yep. I think he's the only one who doesn't know."
"Maybe it's because you broke his heart."
"Maybe."
"So what are you going to do about it Lizzie? We graduate in a couple months, and college acceptance letters are being received as we speak. You know he wants to go to NYU, are you willing to follow him to New York? Or are you too chicken to tell him what you feel?" Lizzie looked down at her hands, she could let Kate see how much this discussion was hurting her. She took a second to breathe, then looked up.
"Why do you care, Kate?" Lizzie snapped.
"I don't care what you do. But someone has to get you to make a decision. And since Miranda isn't here anymore, I figured your ex-best friend would have to work. No one else looks at you, well accept for Gordo."
"You're so kind, Kate. Your remarks have been duly noted. Now, don't you have clones to bug?"
"Fine. Remind me never to do something nice for you again. You were at least nice to me when I first told you he liked you at that mystery party Ethan threw." Kate got up and walked away.
Lizzie rolled her eyes, but still thought back to the conversation she and Gordo had after the party. He hadn't gotten up the nerve to ask her out then. And it had taken two years for him to do so after that night. Sighing, she realized what she had to do. She had to talk to him soon, find out if he still cared for her, or if what she felt was unrequited.
