This chapter continues from Gordo's Diary 4 [part 1] Enjoy!

Gordo is doing is homework but then suddenly realizes that he had to continue writing in his diary about yesterday...

Dear Diary, Sorry I stopped writing last night. I had to have dinner and do my homework. Well, continuing from last night's journal... Umm, where was I up to? Oh, yeah. Well here it goes. Oh also, nothing much happened today so I won't write anything from today. Ok, now, continuing...

As soon as Miranda left, I turned to Lizzie and gave her a smile. The smile was meant that I was glad that she didn't leave with Miranda. Lizzie smiled back. I felt really weird because it was just Lizzie and I. It was really quite so I said, "Thanks for that. You know, the whole not-ditching-me thing." Lizzie gave me a smile and said, "Hey, that's what friends are for right?" "Well, Miranda didn't stay, so does that mean she isn't my friend?" Lizzie laughed. Then I said, "Just kidding." Then I laughed too.

Lizzie and I walked to the smoothie shop and got ourselves a smoothie. I paid for Lizzie's smoothie. She DID stay with me instead of going off with Ethan. I still wasn't really sure why she didn't go off with Ethan... [Gordo breathes out loud]

After we got our smoothies, we went to a table to drink. I still had lots of questions to ask her like, why she likes Ethan so much and why she doesn't notice that I like her when I'm around her 24/7?

I began to ask her, "Lizzie, why do you like Ethan so much? I know that his hair looks nice and stuff but you gotta have a better reason than that..." Lizzie answered back, "He is cute, but dumb. But mostly, he is popular Gordo! Anyone would want to be his friend or even closer." I was still confused. Then I asked her, "If I was popular, would you like me? 'Cause that's why you like Ethan right?" Lizzie had a dull look her face. "Look Gordo, popularity is very important in a middle school life. Besides him being popular, I have many reasons why I like him. But Gordo, I like you more than Ethan but, in a friend way." I still didn't get her. What did that mean? And she didn't answer my question... "Anyways Lizzie, one more question. You seem to notice Ethan more than me. I mean, he's not even your friend and you notice him more than me. Is there something wrong with me? Lizzie, I've been your friend for a long time. And long as in LONG. But you still like him more than me."Lizzie had a guilty look on her face. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, I thought. Lizzie looked at her smoothie for a while and then she replied, "Gordo, are you mad at me for not noticing you? Well, I notice you of course but..." I thought, but what? "But... Look would you rather notice a person who hangs around you 24/7 or someone who you don't even get to talk with? I'm sorry if you're trying say that I don't notice you. But I do notice you." Now I felt bad. Why did I have to say that?

Next we walked around, went to shops and went to the movies. I would say that we had a really good time together and the time went past REALLY fast. I asked Lizzie to stay at my place and have dinner with me but by that time, Miranda was back so she asked if it was ok if she could spend some time with Miranda. I said, "Sure!" (Of course) Spending the whole day with Lizzie was enough for me. I walked to her house and at the end, I gave Lizzie a little kiss on the cheek and said, "Lizzie, today was one of the best days of my life. Hope we get to spend more time alone. NOT that I don't want Miranda to hang out with us." Lizzie smiled and laughed. "Yeah, today was fun. And I'm really sure that we could have fun as much as we did today another time. Thanks for walking with me home Gordo." I was melting... But I put myself together and said, "It's ok, I would walk you home any day. And thanks again for not leaving me behind." Lizzie smiled again. "No worries Gordo." She said. I smiled at her as she was smiling.

We both said good night and I walked home in the dark.

Yep, that's all of yesterday. I had a great time with Lizzie. Next time when 3 of us go to the mall, I hope Miranda walks off with Ethan again. Just kidding.

Well gotta go for now. Talk to you tomorrow!
