Chapter 3
"Gordo? Can we talk." It was merely hours after Lizzie's talk with Kate, and Lizzie wasn't sure she was ready for this. But she had to do it eventually.
"Sure." Gordo sat down at one of the picnic tables. Lizzie looked around, there were far too many of their classmates around. Sure school was over, but the cheerleaders were mingling in one corner of the quad, and Larry Tudgeman was sitting with the other math geeks at the next table trying to see who had pi memorized to the highest digit.
"Um, can we talk somewhere else?"
"Are you alright, Lizzie? You've seemed out of it since lunch."
"I just really need to talk to you." Lizzie was playing with her necklace again. It was a nervous habit she'd picked up after the incident in Rome. She smiled, thinking of what had happened in the midst of all the craziness. She still thought it was cute that Gordo had said "thank you" after she kissed him.
"Ok, where do you want to talk?"
"The park?" Gordo seemed to be a little surprised by this. But he was quick to recover.
"I need to get my books first. Wanna meet at the tree?"
"Yeah."
Ten minutes later, Lizzie was sitting at the tree where she and Gordo had met so many times before. They hadn't met there since they'd broken up though, so him mentioning it as a place to meet brought up a lot of hope within her.
"Hi." Lizzie looked up. Gordo was standing above her. His cute lopsided smile stuck on his face.
"Wanna sit down?" Gordo did as she bid.
"So what do you need to tell me?" Lizzie looked over at him, staring into his beautiful eyes for a moment.
"Gordo? I-I love you." Before he could answer, she leaned over and lightly kissed him on the lips.
