Chapter Two

Shakespeare Book

"Lizzie, honey, could you please hand me that tomato sauce..." Lizzie's mom, Jo, asked as Lizzie told her mom about the "You and Gordo go to the dance together" suggestion of Miranda which she said to her mom furiously. "Honey did you hear me?" Jo asked as she placed her hands on her waist that to Lizzie was a sign her mom irritated. So she took the tomato sauce from the wooden cabinet and handed to her mom.

After a few seconds of being silent, Lizzie suddenly moaned, "I mean she's too mean mom! Why Gordo...? Its just..." she started to say but suddenly stop of the image of her and Gordo dancing at that dance gave her Goosebumps that she stopped talking and shivered to herself not making her mom see.

Jo, being a mother and friend to Lizzie she smiled as she was looking at spaghetti and mixing it with the tomato sauce. "You know I had a situation like that once... when I was in ninth grade too... my friend had this date for the dance and she wanted me to go to the dance with her for me to have fun. I didn't really want to go to the dance cause I didn't have a date. So she ended up looking for a date for me so that I will go to the dance...and she got your father as my date... Right Sam?" she said joyfully as Lizzie's dad, Sam came in. "Yeah..." Sam replied even though he didn't know what Jo was talking about to Lizzie. "What did I just agree to?" Sam asked innocently as he went to Jo and said it in a whisper, trying not to make Lizzie hear but unfortunately to Sam Lizzie heard it loud and clear. 'I so pity dad, he sometimes clueless.' She thought as rolled her eyes. "About the dance in ninth grade that Janelle made you my date for the first dance in ninth grade." Jo said as she finished mixing the tomato sauce to the spaghetti. "Yeah right." Sam replied after a long silence trying to remember but also agreed when Jo gave him the terror stare and then left the kitchen preventing another memory lane.

Lizzie who wasn't really in the mood for their live history began to think. "Mom, so if Gordo and I are going to the dance we will end up getting married in the future like you and dad?" she asked feeling depressed of having different imaginations.... First a dance... then a wedding...then kids... this made her really confused. But then to her disappointment Jo just laughed, "No, that is not what I meant... I was saying that from my friend Janelle and Miranda had one thing in common that they want to achieve. Do you know what it is?" Jo asked her in a formal way. She paused thinking on what to say to her mom. But only one thing is stuck in her mind, "That Miranda wants me and Gordo to get married?" she answered in an inquiry manner since she doesn't really know. Jo just smiled at her answer. "No honey. She wants you and Gordo to have fun together... she is just being a good friend Lizzie." Jo said sincerely.

Lizzie reflected and realized her mom was right Miranda just wanted the both of them to have fun. "But why Gordo mom?" she asked confusedly. But then her mom just shook her head, "I don't know honey, I'm not Miranda. Maybe she knows something you don't" Jo replied calmly.

'Miranda knows something I don't? But what?' she thought in a worried tone since the both of the young ladies promised that there will be no secrets between them. And they made an oath on it when they were still like nine years old.

She was about to raise another question when Sam came in back in the kitchen. "Seen Matt around?" Sam asked her who shook her head, "He's my brother dad! Not his babysitter." She replied. Then she grinned as Sam scratched his head, "I felt like I haven't seen him the today." He said to himself loudly, "Maybe the aliens took him for an experiment." She said sarcastically then Sam and Jo stared at her angrily "Lizzie, that is not a funny joke." They scolded Lizzie in unison. This made her feel irritated. So she just rolled her eyes and left the kitchen.

When she went out the kitchen she heard Matt in the living room going near the stairs where she was standing. "Well I won't give you to Lizzie." He said firmly. She rolled her eyes thinking about her dad, 'Dad must be blind' she thought. "And what will I get if I give you to Lizzie?" he asked in a demanding way. Lizzie gasped forgetting about her annoying brother not giving her the phone. She approached him and extended her hand. "Hand me the phone worm!" she demanded. "And what do I get?" He just grinned and rested the phone on his shoulder drumming his fingertips at the back of the phone.

This irritated her so she raised her eyebrow and folded her arms in front of her chest. "Mom and Dad are in the kitchen looking for you... I could tell them that you broke dad's jar..." she said in a teasing way as she heard him gulp loudly, "Dad's favorite jar..." she added since she really likes the way he looks right that moment, SCARED... at that Matt handed her the phone when she started to make a gesture that she is going to the kitchen. "Peace Matt!" she called as he ran away going to the living room.

"Sorry for that..." she said even though she didn't know who it was. "Why on Earth did you not pick up the phone earlier! Look you made me speak to your ikle brother!" a girl on the phone complained and it was Miranda. She just grinned to this, she really didn't know why Miranda hates Matt that much, ever since in eight grade with her first job in the digital bean, Miranda never really liked talking to Matt anymore, she never get to know why.

Ignoring Miranda's question since she doesn't really want to let her know what they were talking about with Lizzie's mom. "So what's up!" she greeted as she started to climb upstairs to her room preventing Matt from eavesdropping since she knew and felt Matt was just behind her. "Well something is really up... why did you say no to Gordo!" she asked in a way that it was already a demand. Lizzie just laughed as she lied down on her bed. "Miranda! Gordo didn't ask me... you did... wait is Gordo on the other line?" she asked since Miranda now has three way... then Miranda giggled, "No stupid. Gordo is not home." Miranda replied. "Oh, incoming call! I'll call you later!! But before I go, I'll leave you hanging with this question... why will you not go to the dance with Gordo?" she said, Lizzie rolled her eyes, "Bye Miranda." She said as she hung up on the phone.

She stared at her ceiling thinking about something, 'if Gordo is not home, where is he?' she wondered worriedly, then suddenly she heard Miranda's voice playing inside her head. 'Why I should not go with Gordo to the dance??? Because he is my best friend... He is David Gordon what else...' she thought, she sighed loudly when she heard a knock on the door.

Then her mom's head stuck out, "Honey, someone is here to see you... " Jo said. "Okay..." she breathed not even looking at the door. 'Who would even visit me at a time like this...' she wondered

"Hey Lizzie." A guy with a deep voice greeted as he closed the door. "Hello-GORDO??" she shouted who seems so astonished at that moment. And sat up straight, "I'm glad to see you too Lizzie, I hope." He replied guessing that was the thing Lizzie felt when she was astonished. "Sorry, I never realized you'd be coming..." she replied as she started to move since he wanted to sit down. "Yeah so did I." He replied softly that made her look at him confusedly, "Nothing." He said instead of telling her. She accidentally landed on his eyes, at that she looked away instantly and felt her face burn.

They were silent for a few moments until both of then looked at each other and Gordo spoke up, "So," he started. Lizzie just smiled waiting for him to say what he has to say. 'Say something better than that!' a voice inside her head wanted to shout at him but decided to just smile.

"Well, I was wondering..." He cleared his throat. As she felt a huge smile planted on her face, "What?" she asked trying to hide her excitement and thrill to his question

"I was wondering if..." he said and he started to stutter.

'If I can... go on,' a voice inside her head said.

"If I can..."

'Yes! If I can ask you.... Come' on say it!'

"Well, I was wondering if I could.... Ah... yes! Borrow your Shakespeare book." He said instantly, Lizzie just stared at him blankly, and felt as if she fells to a twenty feet cliff because of her disappointment, and the trill she felt suddenly shifted to anger. "Sure Gordo, but to tell you honestly, you should ask mom for that book." She said firmly trying to hide her disappointment and anger. 'Gordo, Gordo, is it too hard to ask me to the dance?' a voice said in her head in disappointment. "Oh! How dumb of me!" he said as he slapped his forehead with his hand. "See you Lizzie..." he said as she stood up and opened her door to get out of her room. "Bye..." she said softly as he gave her a goodbye smile then left her room.

Disappointed she flew herself to her bed and felt a tear drop from her eye. 'Why would i even bother to think that Gordo would ask me to the dance?' she wondered to her self feeling angry and embarrased to herself. "I mean I'm just Lizzie." she muttered softly feeling so sad, and she reached for her pillow and Mr. Snuggles and hugged them..
