REVIEWS: here's the section I answer reviews in, whether they're angry reviews telling me to go jump in a river, or reviews asking a question.
Kay- Lizzie did seem out of character in chapter 21, but remember, it was in Gordo's POV. Whenever in someone's POV, it's biased in their favor, since that's how they're seeing it. If it wasn't in Gordo's POV, Lizzie could have been acting like that the whole time, or she could have never acted like that. We just know what Gordo saw.
Erothwen: Thanks so much!
Devilbabe1215: Thanks! I doubt this will have 50 chapters, as it should end before it has thirty chapters, but a lot of people want a sequel, so I might make one!
This chapter is full for a bunch of lil bits of stuff, so I'm sure I'll get a thousand reviews saying its too confusing. Bring it on.

"Have you been over to see Eva?" Gordo asked Miranda at the Digital Bean.
"Yeah, Lizzie and me went." She said as she bit into a burger.
"I did too." Britt said. " It cries and cries and cries some more. And if that's what my baby's gonna be like, I don't know what I'll do."
"About what?" Lizzie asked as she returned from the bathroom.
"Lorelei's baby, Eva." Gordo said. They all called the ex-principal's wife by her first name, because she had been really nice to them. She had forced Gordo to show her the video he shot of Bob and Samantha that day, and Lorelei sat and cursed him, his future grave, and his mother's grave. She let Britt come over and watch Eva, to see what a baby would be like. Lizzie and Miranda came over often out of sheer curiosity, wondering what Samantha was doing still living with Lorelei.
"Oh," Lizzie said as she plunked herself down in the only empty seat left, in between Miranda and Gordo. "Can you believe she's going to have the baby call Samantha Aunt Samantha when she gets older?"
"Yeah, well, Lorelei doesn't have any sister's of her own." Britt said as she took Miranda's fries, since she wasn't eating them.
"You know what that means?" Gordo said as he chewed his curly fry.
"That you shouldn't talk when your mouth is full?" Miranda said.
"It's okay when he chews with his mouth full. It makes him look smart, yet down to earth." Lizzie kidded.
"Anyways," he said after he had swallowed. "It means Samantha will be living with Lorelei forever. You know, since she's gonna have the baby call her Aunt Samantha and all."
"You're right!" Britt said. "If anyone had an affair with my husband, I'd kill them."
"And you'd be in jail." Miranda noted.

Bob shut the door to his new pick-up truck. Only he wasn't Bob Smith anymore. He was Joe Williams, handyman. He had moved to a small town in Vermont. No one knew who he was, due in part because he had dyed his hair brown, and because he had gotten rid of his mustache. He went around town fixing things, and he made enough to support himself. He already had a nice bit of money from selling his summer house, but he didn't want to move to a big city and buy a large house. That'd be too suspicious. So he'd settled here in nice quiet Vermont. It was February 23 now, and he liked living this life. Unattached, a free spirit.
Sometimes he missed Lorelei, and sometimes he missed Samantha. And sometimes he missed Kristen, the cute college girl he visited on weekends. Did he love Lorelei? No, but he really liked her. Samantha was great, but was too hard to keep up with. Kristen, the girl he had been having an affair with since she had first brought he class attendance up to the office her freshman year, was the one he loved. But even she couldn't know where he was. It was too risky. 'Hopefully,' he thought. 'In a few years, I can give her a call and she'll still be interested.
Hopefully.

LIZZIE'S POV!
Gordo. I've known him all my life, and he's been my best boy who is a friend. Could he ever be my boyfriend? I mean, I like him, but I doubt he likes me. I've been flirting with him a bit, but I think he only really responds when Arielle is around. He must have a thing for her.
And this Ami girl. I hate her already. Sure, last year she lent me her science notes when I fell asleep in class and missed copying them, but still. This is Gordo! Kate said he liked me at the Murder Mystery party. If she was telling the truth, then everyone in school should know no one should ask him out, no one should ask me out. Then we can wander around lonely, and then realize we're perfect for each other. We'll fall in love, get married, a white house with a picket fence, and have 2.5 kids and a golden retriever. Or maybe a schnauzer. I don't like retrievers. And how can you have .5 of a kid? Did you cut him in half, and give him away or something? And I want more than two kids. Three maybe. And I don't want a picket fence, for that matter. But I do want to fall in love and get married.
Erg. I think too much.
Lately, things have sort of changed between me and Gordo. He touches my arm more, stuff like that, and at times, I could swear he was flirting.
I love Gordo. Not romantically, I just started liking him in the 6th grade. My fourth grade crush on him, when Miranda liked him too, does not count. But I love him as a friend, and I like him romantically. Really like him.
But he doesn't like me, he likes Hilary Kidd. Or Arielle. Or Ami Anders. Or maybe he likes that girl who is always talking to him in the hallways. I'll have to find someway to keep her from liking him.
Wait! Why do I care? I mean, he can date who he wants to! It's his love life. But I just have to make sure he doesn't fall in love with some other girl before he notices me.
I need to try to stop liking him. If we ever dated, it would seriously ruin ours and Miranda's friendship. So that's it. I'll stop liking him. Not. I wish it were that easy.
And how does he remember that kiss in the 2nd grade? NO ONE is supposed to remember that!
***
I know Lizzie's POV was confusing, it was meant to be like that, since she's so confused. And see how Lizzie thinks Gordo is the one who's acting funny when ever Arielle's around? That's what I mean by when someone has a POV chapter, things are changed to how they see it.
Sorry such a short chapter.
