"What took you so long?" Lizzie yelled as I got to her front step. She was already outside and looking beautiful then ever. How I just want to tell her how I feel.. "You got me waiting out here in the cold man." I could tell she was joking by the way she squinted her eyes when she looked at me.
"Relax I had to walk all the way over here." I defended myself. "I think my deodorant is losing it's sense." I pretended to smell my armpit and Lizzie can do was laugh. Her laugh was soft and soothing if you can imagine that. She gave a little shove on the back telling that we should get a move on. "Yeah ok ok I was just goanna sit down and take a breather, man. Your house and my house is like 2 miles from each other."
"Gordo," Lizzie gave me a look. "you just live 3 blocks down. What are you talking about?"
"Yeah I know," I said as I took a sit on her porch, "I'm just a little tired." Lizzie was about to smack me on the head like she always do when she's irritated but I managed to block it and started running down the block. Lizzie was on my tail. We kept running until we got to the other block. "You know for a girl like you, you sure can run fast."
"I know Gordo, I know." she said with a grin on her face. "C'mon we're going to be late. Luckily Miranda just lives 4 blocks away from the school." so we started walking. It was silence while we were walking to Miranda's house, which was actually kinda rare seeing how we always got something to talk about no matter the situation. Lizzie broke the silence. "Gordo?"
"Yeah?"
"AM I ugly?" she was serious, I could tell by the way she was looking at me. Her eyes was sincere, it was full of passion. Hell I should've kissed her right then and there but I couldn't, it just wouldn't be my style you know. I'm just a coward remember. "Gordo answer me, am I ugly?"
"Yes." I said. Her face turned bright red. "but in a beautiful kind of way." she started walking again this time with her head down. "Relax Maguire I was just only joking with you. You are beautiful. In fact you're the most beautiful person I ever seen, in real life that is." she started giggling again. Oh man there goes her giggles again. "What made you asked that question Lizzie? You are so beautiful can't you see that?"
"I was just wondering." she said as she looked up at the sky, probably looking at the stars like she always do. "I just wish my secret admirer would think so." she said with her eyes fixated on the stars.
"He thinks your beautiful Lizzie." I stated.
"How do you know?" she asked this time taking her eyes off the stars and looked deep into my blue eyes. "Do you know him?"
"No, I don't. why else would he have a crush on you, because you're a klutz?" I joked but this time she didn't laugh she just looked back up in the clear beautiful sky. She started shivering, in fact we both were. Pretty smart huh? Leaving the house with no jacket. But anyway she started shivering and I went over to her and just hugged her. "Don't worry Maguire he'll like you, who wouldn't?" I kissed her forehead and we just stared into each others eyes for what seem like eternity, but in reality it was only a quick 5 seconds. "C'mon we don't wanna be late." I'm just a coward.
