Chapter 1: Thinking
Lizzie walked down the crowded highschool hall towards her locker. She looked around for a sign of her friends but didn't see them. *You know* she thought to herself *high school isn't as bad as it's made out to be. She turned the locker combo on the lock and took another brief glance down the hall and saw Kate walking towards her, "Hello, Lozzie," she sneered as she past. *I'd be even better if Kate got transferred.* "Hello to you to, Kate," she retorted.
She began rummaging through her locker for some lip gloss. She finally found one only to realize that it was empty. Sighing, she threw it back into her locker. She shut the door and turned around. Lizzie jumped backwards in surprise when she saw a vide camera lens in her face but relaxed when she saw Gordo behind the lens. Lizzie's heart leaped at the sight of her best friend. Gordo's face was full of concentration and relaxation at the same time. She cocked her head to the side and she smiled sweetly. *he could be so cute at times.*
"Gordo, what are you trying to do? Kill me?" she asked jokingly. "Anything but that," he said, his dark curls bouncing as he shook his head. It made Lizzie giggle. "What?" he asked never taking the camera away from his eye. "Nothing," she said, the smile never leaving her face.
They walked down the hall and and Gordo still had the camera stuck to his eye and the lens in her face. "Gordo, what are you doing?" she asked again as they walked into the cafeteria where they grabbed their trays, only then did Gordo lower the camera from his eye.
"Just test driving my new camera," he replied setting it one the tray and edging towards the line. Lizzie looked at the large array of steamy, bubbling foods before her. "Gordo, I thought you said that the food was better in high school," Lizzie said as she watched the cafeteria lady shovel a pile of slop onto her plate. "Enjoy your green beans," the cafeteria lady growled. "Aren't green beans supposed to be, well, green?" Gordo questioned poking it with his fork. "Let's just say that they didn't stay good as long as the package said they would." she shrugged.
The first thing that the pair did when they exited the cafeteria was deposit their lunches in the nearest trash can. Then, once again, Gordo had the camera to his eye and pointed at Lizzie. "Gordo, I wish you'd stop that!" she said putting her hand over the lens. "Come on Lizzie, its all for an art," he said lowering the camera and smiling.
Something about his smile made Lizzie melt. "Gordo, why don't you film something else besides me for awhile?" she asked returning the smile. He shrugged, "there's just nothing else worth filming," he caught what he said and quickly covered up, "I mean, everybody else is doing what they always do. You know what I mean."
Lizzie sighed as Gordo brought the camera back up to his eye. She saw Miranda sitting at a table near some bushes so she went and sat down across from her (Gordo still filming every move she made).
