A/N: I am sorry I haven't updated recently. I ended up staying longer at
the beach then expected, and had stuff to catch up on afterward. I do not
own Lizzie McGuire.
Chapter Three
Ceramics rolled into math, which then rolled into drawing. Lizzie was starting to notice a pattern with Gordo here.
Gordo," Lizzie said after they walked out of drawing, "If I didn't know any better, I would say you are stalking me."
Gordo laughed, even though that was actually not far off from the truth, "Well, McGuire, I could say you were stalking me. In fact, I may have to report you if your next class is historical movies."
Lizzie gasped, "This is really strange. I do actually have historical movies!"
"That is too weird," Gordo said as he shook his head, "Well, since you and I both have historical movies, do you mind if I escort you to class?"
"I would be honored, Gordo. Thank you."
Lizzie and Gordo walked into to the class together, ignoring the other people in the room. The were sitting down, and Gordo was just about to say something to Lizzie, until he was interrupted.
"Hey, David Gordon!" Ashley Hunter said, "How about that? We actually have a class together.
Gordo smiled at Ashley, "Well how about that!" He looked at Lizzie helplessly and turned his attention back to Ashley, who sat down on the other side of Gordo.
Ashley turned her attention to Lizzie and started panicking, "Oh, my God! You must think I am the biggest moron! I am so sorry I interrupted your conversation. You must think I am so weird walking up to your boyfriend and talking to him, when he barely even knows me. I am Ashley Hunter. David helped me out earlier when I was lost," Ashley explained.
Lizzie smiled, "It's okay, really it is. I am Lizzie McGuire. I am glad to be hearing that David has been helping out."
"Actually, Ashley, you can call me Gordo. That is what most people call me, anyway," Gordo said.
"Okay, Gordo. Gordo, huh? That has sort of a catchy ring to it," Ashley said.
"Thanks," Gordo said, "Lizzie came up with it."
"Oh, yeah, nice meeting you, too, Lizzie."
"Nice meeting you, too, Ashley."
Class begun.
The teacher, Mr. Jackson, told the students that they would partner up for the semester and work together most days when they weren't watching a movie. He then paired them up. Lizzie could see in the corner of her eyes, Ashley starring dreamily at Gordo, obviously hoping that the powers that be would make Ashley and Gordo partners.
No suck luck-for Ashley, that is. Gordo and Lizzie were assigned to be partners. Ashley was assigned with another sophomore.
For the rest of the class period, they started the movie, "Elizabeth." They were told to research the story of Queen Elizabeth I and come prepared the next day.
After Historical films, they had lunch together, Lizzie and Gordo walked to the cafeteria. "Ashley is a nice girl," Lizzie said.
"Yeah, I think so," Gordo agreed.
"She has a crush on you, you know."
"Really? I didn't notice?" Gordo said, sarcastically.
"Oh, come on, Gordo! I think it was cute! The way she drooled over you was so sweet!"
"Don't you think she is a little young for me, McGuire?"
"She is only two years younger. It isn't a crime or anything. Don't listen to me though, I am just trying to keep your eyes peeled for the homecoming dance, that's all."
"When is it?"
"A week from Friday."
"Hmm. You know, I didn't go to last year's homecoming," Gordo said.
"I know, Gordo. In fact, Miranda and I have been keeping track, and unless you are hiding something, you have not been on a date in over three years. Oh, but who is counting?"
"So, that's what you and Miranda talk about behind my back! Wow, you really need to get out more!"
"Look who is talking!" Lizzie said as she nudged his shoulder. "Anyway, are you planning on going to homecoming this year or what?"
Gordo raised his eyebrow, "It depends."
"On what?"
"Are you going to try and fix me up on a date?"
"Nah, that's too time consuming," Lizzie said.
"Good. Because, I was hoping that you and me could go to the homecoming together."
"You and me?" Lizzie said, surprised by the suggestion.
"Well, yeah," Gordo said, wishing he didn't, "Is that crazy or something? Two best friends going to homecoming together?"
"No," Lizzie said, "I just thought you might want to make the night more memorable going with someone you really like, that's all."
"I disagree," Gordo said.
"You do?"
"Yeah. I think it will be more fun if it is with two really good friends who have a whole year of life to catch up on with each other. Unless, you don't want to go with me," Gordo said.
"No," Lizzie said and she shook her head, "I would love to go to homecoming with you. I am glad you asked me. We will have a great time," Lizzie said.
"You mean that?"
"Yeah, I mean that."
Gordo smiled and Lizzie smiled back. They met up with Miranda and ate lunch.
"How is the first day of school going for everybody?" Miranda asked.
"Good," Gordo said simply.
"Yeah, The strangest thing is happening, though. Gordo and I have had every single class together so far," Lizzie said.
Miranda eyed Gordo and smiled, "Really? How lucky you are! In the mean time, I hate calculus, French needs to become a dead language and Brit lit is so boring. The only class I actually like so far is AP history. I am so glad I have a free period next. If I didn't have some sort of break, I would probably explode at art."
"Yikes! I am so sorry, Miranda. Please don't explode, though! You have to give me a ride home, remember!"
"Oh, crap! I forgot all about that! Can you wait until 3:30 because I have this drama club meeting I have to attend."
"I can take you home, Lizzie. I don't have anything to do after school and I will be happy to give you a ride," Gordo offered.
Miranda looked at her two friends, and realized this opportunity had potential, "That is a great idea, Gordo! Do you mind if Gordo takes you home?"
"No, not at all. What class do you have sixth period? That's my free period."
"Same here."
Miranda eyed Gordo like he was crazy.
"Okay," Lizzie said, "So, I am guessing your next class is music?"
"Yep."
"Figures. That is mine also."
"Cool. I guess you and I will leave after music and you can take me home then," Lizzie said.
"Works for me."
"Sounds like a plan," Miranda said, looking at Gordo and getting up, "I am going to leave and go somewhere as far as possible from school until art. I will call both of you tonight. Okay?"
"Okay. Bye, Miranda!" Lizzie said.
"Bye!" Gordo said. They watched her as she walked away.
"Poor Miranda!" Lizzie said.
"Yeah. Things should get better, though,"
"They always do."
