(A/N:Reviews much appreciated ya'll!)
The next day, Gordo got on the school computer to see the status of messages coming in for the newspaper. He was abit nervous today after yesterday's comversation with Lizzie. At that moment, Lizzie walked in the room.
"Hey Gordo, what's up?" she asked.
His heart melted. She was so pretty today in her 3 quarter sleeve tie up shirt and knee length jean skirt.
"Uhh, not too much, just checking out some things on the computer," he replied, while typing a reply to someone's question about why the newspaper wasn't any longer.
Lizzie came right over to Gordo and stood next to him, looking at the screen. Gordo caught a closer look at her face, she was wearing a ton of make-up.
Lizzie had especially tried to look nice today. She knew Gordo was all about "it's not how you look that matters, it's who you are", but she wanted Gordo to pay attention to her today, so maybe, she would be able to tell him how she felt.
"You look, uh, nice today Lizzie," Gordo said, "Any reason?"
"I just felt like it is all," she said, smiling at him.
"You're trying to impress Ethan huh, I bet you want him to take you to the end of the year dance," Gordo said.
"I'm not trying to impress Ethan," she said his name almost as if it were something old and moldy. This wasn't like Lizzie. Ethan Craft's name was like sugar coated gold to Lizzie. Something was up.
"He's going out with Kate this week, huh?" he said.
"No, he's paddling his own canoe the last I heard," Lizzie said.
"Well, you're trying to impress someone, you never wear that much stuff on your face unless there's some hot guy or some big occasion," he said.
"How do you know there isn't a hot guy?" she asked.
"Who is there besides Ethan?" he asked.
"There could be someone else," he said.
"Could be," she said, and started to walk off.
"Do I know him?" he asked.
"You could say that," Lizzie said.
"Lizzie, stop being mysterious and stuff and tell me who this guy is so I can go pound... errr, say hi to him," he said.
"Oh Gordo please, you'll find out soon enough," and with that, she was off.
'Why is she acting like this???' Gordo thought.
