A/N: This is MissIndependentEowynTahiriSiri's friend logging on and doing an update since it was taking so long. Hehe. I hope you like it. Sorry this update is short, but I wanted to put something up. Please review! Where should it go from here? REVIEW.

LIZZIE'S POV:

After Gordo and I had finished reading each other's yearbook entries, everything was silent. We closed our yearbooks and just stared into thin air. Gordo was worse than me. I saw him jiggling the book around in his hands and acting all nervous. I felt a rush of heat pass over me, and my heart started beating. Was he thinking what I was thinking? I was thinking about Gordo, and what he wrote in my yearbook. The words: "There's nothing to be afraid of if we have each other. I will always be by your side," played over and over again in my mind. Gordo had feelings for me! Actual feelings! I felt like shouting for joy knowing that he felt the same way about me that I did for him. I didn't quite know what to say to him now though; I bit my lip and waited for him to make the first move.

GORDO'S POV:

I couldn't get over Lizzie's entry in my yearbook. All of my wishes were true...she did like me! I couldn't believe it, it was almost too good to be true. But it was signed from Lizzie...the only Lizzie I knew and loved. How she signed off though, was similar to the way I did: "Your best friend always, and maybe more, if you want, Lizzie." I thought that was pretty funny. Two great minds think alike! I looked over at Lizzie. Did she look beautiful today! I waited for her to make the first move. Then, a thought came to mind. I started talking but she did also.

"You go first," I said politely.

"No, I insist that you do," said Lizzie.

"Oh, all right," I said. "What I mean to say is that...is that...at the dance, you really looked amazing. I mean, red is your color." Lizzie slowly started reddening.

LIZZIE'S POV:

Oh how sweet! He remembered what I wore? Aw. I could feel myself turning a deep red.

"Thanks," I replied. Then there was silence again.

"So..." said Gordo.

"So..." I said.

Then a person snuck up behind us, and I felt a hand grab my shoulder. "So..." said the voice, "What's up?"

Gordo and I both jerked back. It was Miranda. I felt uncomfortable and started slipping my hands into my jean pockets. Gordo did the same. "N- nothing," we replied at the same time.

I never thought about how hard it might be to have a relationship prior to that moment. I mean, I had been in a relationship with Ronnie, but that was different. None of my friends knew him. There I was best friends with Gordo and Miranda. We all hung out together all of the time. Now, I might be facing a deeper relationship with Gordo. How would Miranda take it? I smiled. I'm sure she wouldn't mind, in fact, knowing Miranda, she would probably be very supportive of us. I rolled my eyes. Besides, I'm sure she knew that Gordo liked me already. Who didn't?

AL: Well...I didn't know!

How would we start off our relationship? It seemed kind of awkward, but I'm sure that it would work...I hoped!

Miranda started talking about how her day went while I started edging closer to Gordo while we walked. He had his head down to the ground. I smiled and walked closer next to him. Then he looked at me. I smiled and put my hand next to his. He slowly grabbed it and we walked hand-in-hand down the hallway slowly following Miranda.
