Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie McGuire.
Lizzie sat in her design class, contemplating colors and shapes. She shifted around in her seat while trying to make a design out of triangles. It was Friday, and everyone was itching to get out of their classes. Miranda sat next to her talking about all the latest gossip and news from Hillridge.
"So, what should we do tonight? See a movie?" Miranda asked after her five- minute speech on how Mr. Dig was completely unfair on the grade for her social studies report.
"Movie sounds good. We'll tell Gordo at lunch." Gordo wasn't in their design class, instead he choose a multimedia computer class to fill up this time in his schedule.
Miranda held up a piece of paper to cut and asked, "Hey, are you trying out for the school musical? I heard it was Titanic, and I really want to see how they're gonna turn that story into a musical."
"Really? That sounds fun.but no, musicals aren't for me." Lizzie thought over this while pulling rubber cement off her fingers. She would love to star in the musical, but she didn't think she was popular enough to pull it off. Sighing, she put her art in her portfolio, and waited a couple of minutes until the bell rang.
While they all three walked down to lunch, Miranda brought up something. "Oh! Lizzie, I forgot about this.why didn't you tell us you got asked out by Devin?!"
Lizzie rubbed her arm, sheepishly, "Oh.that. Because I said no so I didn't think it was a big deal."
Miranda's eyes popped open, "You said no?! Why? He's a junior! He's the star basketball player! Why would you have said no?!"
"Because it wouldn't be normal," Lizzie responded quietly.
"Oh would you please stop with this normal thing! Seriously, how do you have any fun staying between your tiny guidelines about how to live you're life?"
"I think Lizzie was smart, turning down Devin," Gordo said, becoming part of the conversation for the first time.
"Thank you, Gordo. See, Miranda, Gordo gets it."
"Yeah, why should she go out with Devin? It's not like it would have last, and why go through with something that will just cause pain for a useless reason? No, she definitely made a good call on this."
With that statement from Gordo, Miranda looked up to the ceiling and rolled her eyes, "Well Gordo's opinion doesn't really count because he's biased on the subject of you dating anyone."
Gordo stared death-glares into Miranda. Lizzie just looked confused.
"What? What do you mean? Actually nevermind, we are all dropping this entire subject."
They had made it to the lunch pod outside, and they all chose a table to sit down. Lizzie thought over the conversation they had coming down. Why hadn't she said yes to Devin? It was simple, but she couldn't tell her friends that, they would just laugh. If she went out with Devin, everyone would know who she was. She would have expectations from the school, she would be laughed at if Devin would do anything to another girl (which according to Miranda's party gossip, would be very likely), and in the end she would be hurt and pitied when it wouldn't work out. That's why it was easy to just say no, and not let any of those feelings come true.
"Oh Gordo, I got a C on my algebra test, would you mind tutoring me next week? I have to keep my grades up." Lizzie wasn't a numbers girl, she liked words much better.
Gordo looked up between his bites of hamburger, "Yeah, of course. I'm free whenever. I'll come over to your house sometime next week, I guess."
Lizzie smiled, "Great. Thanks."
At that moment, one of the few people that didn't like Lizzie came waltzing over to the three's table. Dressed in a white miniskirt and a pink sweater set, Kate closed her overused compact and placed it in her white leather Prada purse. She smiled her intimidating smile and bitchingly cooed, "Lizzie, I heard about your little luck with Devin. But wait..you said no! What was it, couldn't handle it? Sticking with your little sidekicks for protection? Well whatever, he's not even that good in bed anyways." With that she turned and her high-heeled feet went a-walking.
Lizzie sighed again and picked at her broccoli with her fork. Miranda repeatedly shoved up her middle finger to Kate's retreating back side.
"Eugh! I hate her! She didn't even sleep with him! I know! She stripped off all her clothes and lay naked on his bed, but he said no! Apparently, she wasn't "smooth" enough." With that, Miranda giggled.
Gordo shook his head, "That's just like Kate. We all should know. Don't believe a word any bitch says."
Finally happy about her decision since Lizzie just got a taste of what it would have been liked to be dating Devin, Lizzie smiled and bit into her hot dog. With her mouth full of hot-dog Lizzie jokingly said, "See? Normalcy is good."
Miranda screamed in frustration and stuck her hand into her chocolate pudding. Smearing it across Lizzie's face, she ran behind Gordo to keep Lizzie from jumping on her. Between Lizzie's yelps, Miranda peaked out her head and said, "But sometimes, abnormality can be fun."
