"Wow...Um Gordo, that's...Wow...I don't know what to say...I got to go, see you...Um later."

"Lizzie…Wait!!!!" I yelled after her.

"Ok, what." She stood there, looking very uncomfortable, shifting position about every 5 seconds.

"I'm sorry if this freaked you out, just tell me how you feel, and I can deal with it." I told her, trying to sound reassuring.

"Ok, well Gordo, first thing's first...my news was definitely not the same as yours, secondly...I really, really, like you, but It'd be too weird, now can we just put this behind us and pretend like it never happened?"

"Yeah, sure, whatever you want." I said, trying to look happy and alright with the situation, but deep down, she and I both knew I wasn't...and neither was she, "So, what was your news you wanted to tell me?"

"Oh, right, I wanted to tell you that I'm going to be here in town for Christmas, and most of Christmas break, and I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out with me during that time...Just you and I, I really like it when it's just the two of us." She flashed me a smile, I couldn't help but smile back, her smile gets me every time.

"Of course I would love to hang out with you then, and how about tomorrow?"

"Definitely, call my cell tomorrow EARLY in the morning, so we can have the whole entire day to hang out."

"Sounds great." I leaned in and gave Lizzie a hug...Maybe things will work out for the better, I knew I shouldn't have told her that, but now that it is over, it feels good to have it done and over with, we're just friends...And I guess that's all we'll ever be.

The Next Day

I think today will be a fun day...spending any day--let alone the WHOLE day--with Lizzie will be a fun day, let's just see exactly HOW fun it will be...I'm still pretty depressed from yesterday.

'Oh shut up Gordo, stop being so stupid, at least you got everything out, and even if she doesn't feel the same way about you at least you two are still friends and are STILL going out ALONE! Who knows maybe she'll figure out her feelings for you someday, so snap out of it!'

'Yeah...I'm right, I just got t-- wait, am I talking to myself...Whoa, I'm really going crazy here, what this girl is doing to me.'

"Gordo...Gordo??" I heard someone call from the distance; I turned to find Lizzie standing there with a worried look on her face. "Uh, Gordo are you ok?" She asked me, while coming up closer. "You seem kind of distracted."

"Oh, no I'm fine. So what's up? What do you want to do today?" I asked her trying to change the subject.

Lizzie, still with the worried look on her face, replied "I don't know, maybe we can go to the movies, I've yet to see 'Team America' so I thought maybe we'd watch that? If it's ok with you"

"Of course it's ok with me, I've yet to see that movie too" I told her trying to hide my excitement. 'Yes, movies, just me and Lizzie alone...this day can't get any better' But I was wrong...

I was wrong because the day just got worse. After the movie was done Lizzie received a call from Steve's dad. He said it was too late and wanted her to come home.

I walked her home and when we got to her door I couldn't help but lean in and kiss her. But I realized that was a big mistake. She broke our kiss and before I could say anything she started yelling at me. "Gordo!!! What the hell is your problem? I told you that I just wanted to be friends!!"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry Lizzie I don't know what came over me!"

"Yeah sure, whatever Gordo, God, you're just like all those other guys, stupid and obnoxious."

"Oh really? That's what you think of me? Fine then, be that way. I don't care anymore, good-bye!" I yelled at her turning and running to my house. 'I sure know how to turn a great day into a bad one. Great job Gordon'
