Chapter 1 Lamentations of Lizzie
Is there a holiday that you hate more than any other? Well I for one hate Valentines Day! I mean, don't get me wrong, I used to love the day, the little boy and the little girl, with a red, paper heart. I guess V-day was cool until I fell for Gordo.
David Zephyr Gordon was the best friend any one could have. He had the dark curly hair that always reminded me of dark chocolate. His blue eyes contained a glint of fun behind all the seriousness. I on the other hand, had straight blond hair that fell to my shoulders, deep brown eyes and was kind of shorter than most girls my age. Gordo seemed to think I was a great friend anyways. Of course, that was the problem. I was only a 'friend' to him. I wanted to be more, much more! Sure there were other guys out there, more fish in the sea and that type of thing, but I only wanted one of them to notice me in that way! That guy was Gordo!
I haven't always had these feelings for him. I basically gave up on the official 'love day' the summer after eighth grade. My class had just returned from a trip to Rome. I hadn't realized what I was doing at the time, but Gordo and I were standing on a balcony and my stupid hormones took over.
I still remember what it felt like, standing five stories in the air in a short dress. He was dressed up too. I don't really remember what I said but I found myself leaning in and kissing him. I wasn't just a friendship kiss either! It was a full-blown 'I'm in love with you' kiss. Only he never noticed the feelings. Granted he did kiss me back, but for all I know, he could have been imagining that I was the famous pop-star Isabella.
We never really talked about it and when I got home, I was put on house arrest. Literally! My parents got really mad about my saving a pop-star's career and they shut me in my room for two, whole months. Two! The phone was aloud for one hour a day and I was aloud to check my email twice. I received 3 full meals (in my room) and my privacy was taken, when Matt no longer had to ask permission to enter my cell. Let's just say that my life was a living hell.
I guess you could say that I am taking this holiday bashing a little too far. But he's the one guy I can never get! Miranda told me that I can't possibly be in 'love' cause I'm only fourteen! My response was,
"Well then I'm definitely head-over-heels in like with him" I still remember her rolling eyes and scowling.
That was easy for her to do! She had Larry Tudgeman. I'm not saying I'm jealous of her guy! Just that some guy does, in fact like her. A lot! I mean, he leaves single, de-thorned, red roses in her locker just about everyday! What kind of girl wouldn't love that? I guess Kate might not love it! She'd probably complain about getting one instead of twelve. I can't believe that MY Gordo had a crush on her for a while! I mean it's not like I crushed on anyone with good looks but no brain! Oh whom am I kidding, I forgot about Ethan Craft.
But that's another thing! I really liked Ethan, but he was no Gordo! All he did was ask stupid questions and have weird reactions. Like the time I gave him a grape soda.
FLASHBACK
"Here Ethan! Compliments of Lizzie McGuire!" I handed him a purple soda can.
He stared after me a moment as I walked away, swaying my hips (yes I do do that! So sue me!). I guess Ethan felt like he had been smart long enough. The stupid dirk opened the can in his eye. I was walking away feeling very pleased with my move on the hottie, and then I heard him yelp.
"Owwwwwww! My Eye!"
END FLASHBACK
That pretty much dropped handsome, popular Ethan Craft from my list of favorite guys! I mean we were still friends, but how can I date a guy who shatters sentimental moments by squirting soda in his eye? If he was that desperate for attention, he wasn't as popular as I thought!
So here I am stuck in my current predicament with the Dreaded Day just around the next street corner and I don't even have a date! I mean honestly what is wrong with this world? All through Junior High I got invites but my parents said
"Not until ninth grade!"
and as soon as I graduated, I stopped getting asked! Hold on I'll be right back! I need to find a pillow to scream into! Another thing that's bothering me is the fact that Gordo and Miranda are KEEPING SECRETS FROM ME!!!!!! It's like, Hello? There weren't two musketeers there were THREE! I swear, my friends need a reality check and they need it soon!
I'm not just imagining things here. I mean, I was getting my lunch the other day and I see them whispering to each other. Miranda is giggling and making animated motions with her hands but then I walk over and they're silent. I asked them what was going on and Miranda made a rather loud declaration of,
"Nothing!"
she only uses that tone when she's lying. I mean, I've known her since second grade, I think I've picked up her habits! Gordo never said anything. He just blushed and ran off when he saw me. He even left his lunch tray behind. I mean this guy was desperate to avoid me at all cost or he was afraid of Randa spilling his secret to me while he was there.
Miranda Sanchez was my other best friend. She was Mexican and had a really large mouth that tended to let secrets slip a little to often much to our great dismay. He needn't have worried. I learned nothing. I did however, happen to snag a piece of paper that Gordo had dropped during English and it mainly contained two letters surrounded by hearts.
L. G. –heart- L. G. –heart-
Great, now he's in love with that new girl Lily Glockwin. My heart just might break in two with the pain.
Miranda seems to call me whenever I least want to talk to someone!
"Hey Miranda!" I was gloomy beyond gloomy and my bed seemed like the only bubble I had left still intact.
"Lizzie! I just had a great idea!" she squealed. "Larry is going to be away on Valentines Day so I thought that the three amigos could go see a private movie at Hill Ridge Cinemas." She seemed like she was hiding something but I was tired and I didn't really feel like playing detective right then.
"Sure!" I mumble before I can change my mind and I here the phone click.
Well hey, Gordo may not like me but at least I can go to a midnight movie with him! I'm bouncing on air. Must play favorite song "100 years to Live" and bath in joy.
Before I could though, the phone rang again!
Please Review so if you don't I won't spend time finishing it! I fixed it up a little bit! Hope you like!
