Chapter 7:The Date: Part 1
LIZZIE's POV
Lizzie stood staring in her closet debating what to wear. It was Friday and her date with Cory. She was going to meet them at some club downtown. It was one of those new underage clubs. She didn't know why she was worried about what to wear, it's not like she was trying to impress anyone. I don't even know why I had agreed to this stupid date anyways, she thought to herself viciously grabbing a blouse and skirt from her closet and stomping towards the bathroom. She turned the knob and discovered that it was locked.
She didn't even have to ask. "Matt!" she yelled pounding on the door, "Matt! Hurry up! I have a date in less than in hour!" The door opened and Matt poked his head out. "Listen, it's not my fault you waited until the last minute to get ready for your date with precious Gordo. So I'm going to take as long as I want," he said slyly and slipped his head back into the bathroom. "It's not with Gordo," she mumbled to herself not expecting Matt to poke his head back out. "Not with Gordo? Well what do you know, I thought you two would have come to your senses already," he said leaning on the door frame and scratching his head.
Lizzie frowned, "What are you talking about? Ugh, never mind. Move twerp," she said pushing him into the hall and going into the bathroom. "Hey," she heard him say. She just rolled her eyes and quickly got ready. By the time she walked out of the bathroom she only had ten minutes to get to the club.
"Mom, can you drive me downtown?" Lizzie asked walking down the stairs. "Sure, hon," she said grabbing her purse and keys, "What do you need downtown? "You meeting your friends there?" Lizzie shook her head. They got in the car and Mrs. McGuire dropped Lizzie off. She looked at the street sign. Cory said that the club was on Avenue S, she thought walking down the street until she was outside the club. THe sign read "Some Club Downtown." So when he said some club downtown he meant 'Some Club Downtown, she thought to herself shaking her head at it all.
She walked inside and saw a bunch of kids that looked her age dancing and talking with one another. She looked up at the stage and saw Cory and the rest of his band up there. Cory was playing the guitar and singing. He looked up, spotted Lizzie and smiled a hello. She waved back akwardly and crossed her arms in front of her chest. His band was actually really good, but still paled in comparison to everything Gordo did.
Lizzie stood deep in thought over Gordo even after the band stoped playing. "Hey, Lizzie," came a shy voice from beside her. She turned and saw a timid Cory smiling at her. "Hey, Cory. You were really good up there," Lizzie said smiling back at him. "Oh, thanks," he said blushing and looking at his feet. Wow, Lizzie thought to herself, For once I'm the one making someone nervous instead of the other way around.
The DJ started playing music and Cory looked more nervous than ever. "So, L-Lizzie," he stammered rubbing the back of his neck, "You wanna dance? You know before we go to the movies or dinner, un-unless you don't want to go to the movies or something, then w-we could do something else..w-whatever you want."
Lizzie laughed, "That's fine, Cory. I'm sure whatever you picked out for us to do is fine." If he liked her, and it sure sounded like he did, she hated putting him on like this. She didn't want to give him the impression that she liked him back because her heart truly did belong to Gordo. Even if he didn't feel the same.
"So, you wanna dance?" he asked again. No, she thought to herself but nodded yes anyways. They danced for a while until a slow song came on and both of them stood not knowing what to do. Cory nervously edged towards her and put his hands on her waist. She responded by gingerly placing her arms around his neck.
The song was Open Your Eyes(to love) by LMNT and Lizzie felt a lump in her throat. It reminded her so much of Gordo. She put her head on his shoulder to hide her tears from him. She felt his body sieze up but then relax. This guy really was nervous. She wiped the tears away with the back of her hand. She saw a glimpse of dark curly hair and paused. Was it Gordo? Or was she just hallucinating?
Before she could think, the song ended and Cory stepped away. "You ready to go to the movies?" he asked. He was blushing madly. "Sure," she half smiled. They walked outside and Cory walked up to a motercycle. He grabbed a helmet off the seat and handed it to her. "Are you sure this is safe?" she asked. "Well, if you think about it, nothing is really safe these days. Just walking down the street you could get shot or something," he said in a more confident voice though fingering his helmet nervously.
Lizzie had never thought of it like that before, and he had a point. "B-but of course if you wanna walk or take a bus or somethin' that'd be fine to. 'Cause I don't want you getting in trouble with you parents," Cory said back to his nervous tone. "No, that's okay," she answered putting on the helmet and climbing on the motercycle. "Hold on," he said. She wrapped her arms around his waist and she felt him shiver. Wow, he really is nervous, Lizzie thought as they sped down the street.
GORDO's POV
Gordo was laying on his bed staring at the ceiling and tossing his hacky sack up in the air. Today was Lizzie's date with Cory. Gordo had never actually met the guy, but he hated him already. He heard the doorbell snd his mom open the door but thought nothing of it. A few minutes later he heard a knock on his door. He was in no mood to talk to anyone so he decided to ignore it. After a while the knock came again, except harder. "Come in," he mumbled. "Hey," a familiar but unwanted voice said. He turned and saw Miranda standing in his door way. "Hey," he groaned. "So," she started sitting next to him on the bed, "you wanna do somthing?"
"Like what?" he said raising an eyebrow to her. "Well," she began, "I know where Lizzie and Cory are going for their date," she said with a slight smile. "I'm listening," he said turning towards her. "Well, we could go spy on them if you like," she said.
Gordo jumped off the bed and sped out the door leaving a shocked and confused Miranda sitting his bed. He stuck his head back in the door, "Aren't you coming? I need a date you know," he said smiling his half smile and holding out an apoligetic hand to hand. He knew he had been treating her bad and he regreted it. She didn't deserve to be treated like that.
Miranda beamed at him and gratefully took his hand as they walked out the door.
A/N:Hey! Hope you liked it. I was going to make it longer I thought this was a good place to leave Gordo and Miranda. I really need help from you guys, I don't know whether to make it an L/G or M/G. Cuz, genius me, got me feeling bad for Miranda. So I'll take a vote, just to see what you guys want. I have three days till I leave for Rome for you might not have another update for awhile. Anywho, thanx for the great reviews, everyone. C ya! Mel
