Authors note: this is my first fic so please be nice. A lot of this is based on a true story. Dedicated to the boy who made it all come true. R & R please.

Background: Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda have been best friends all their lives like in the show except they do not all live in the same city. Gordo is 17, Miranda is 16 and Lizzie is 15. Every summer their families go to the beach for two weeks.

Prologue:

Dear Diary,
Something funny happened today. I was in the car and all of the sudden I started to think about Gordo. It was just the same Gordo really and he was there in front of our beach house, but something was different. All of the sudden he seemed perfect. Hmm, maybe I should stop reading so many romance novels.

Chapter 1

Lizzie laid two shirts down on her mothers bed. Ok, so do I want to wear the white or the orange one? Even though it was March Lizzie couldn't wait to wear one of her new tank tops. She finally decided on the white with the light pink writting across the middle which read L'amour. She pulled on her favorite jeans and grabbed her white jean jacket. After doing her make-up she pulled her hair up into a mess bun sitting on the top of her head. Just then Jo stuck her head into Lizzie's room and told her they were getting ready to go. With a glance in the mirror Lizzie left her room.

Flashback:

"I'm sick of playing this game." Gordo whispered into Lizzie's ear sending a rush through out her entire body.

"Well do you want to go hang in the sand box?" Lizzie transferred this information over to Miranda and the three best friends started to walk towards the sandbox. Since it was late and dark the slight rustling in the bushes caused Lizzie to jump. When her hand came back down it found its way into Gordos. Again it sent a rush through her body. Jason took it gladly and they continued to walk like nothing had happened. Gordo simply hold her hand running his thumb up and down hers.

End flashback.

Courtney awoke and smiled to herself. A few minutes later they pulled into the Sanchez's driveway and Lizzie was greeted at the door by Miranda. After a short tour of Miranda's new house the girls ran upstairs to see the one person Lizzie was still dying to see, Gordo. When they walked in he turned around and smiled at Lizzie.

"Hey McGuire, what's up?"

Chapter 1; Part 2:

a/n: this goes back to before Lizzie arrived at the party and tells a little from Gordo's point of view.

Gordo was sitting in his room thinking about Lizzie, again. He didn't know why he was thinking about her so much, but he liked it at the same time. His thoughts drifted back to that night.

Flashback

She smelled amazing as he bent down to whisper in her ear. "I'm sick of playing this game." he hadn't expected it to be so romantic but the way a rush went through his body when she whispered back into his ear made it that way.

"Well, do you want to go hang in the sandbox?" They repeated this to Miranda and headed towards the sandbox. Something rustled and Lizzie leapt in the air, when she came back down her hand brushed against his and then wrapped itself around his. Gordo looked down at their hands and smiled to himself, this was something he wanted to do more often.

End flashback.

His memory was interrupted by his new thoughts. Then, she started to date Ronnie and I started to date Parker. Sure there were no sparks between me and Parker, but she was fun. Lizzie on the other hand said she had fallen in love with Ronnie. Come New Years though, he had broken her heart. But I was still with Parker, I don't know why. Neither of us wanted to make the first move. New years was amazing though, since Miranda was moving the party was held at my house. My neighbors kept pressuring us to kiss, but I had a girlfriend and she just rolled her eyes.

"Gordo! Let's go!" Mrs. Gordon called up to him. They were going to a party at Miranda's new house. They got there before Lizzie's family did but that gave Gordo time to mentally prep. When the McGuires car pulled up into the driveway Miranda went running down to greet Lizzie while Gordo waited patiently. Lizzie and Miranda bound up the stairs and Miranda ran into the room right away but Lizzie stopped at the mirror in the hall and quickly touched up her hair, smacked her lips and then entered. Gordo turned around from facing the window and took a good look at her. She looked beautiful, simple, but beautiful. The term simple beauty had never been defined as well as it was with Lizzie standing there in front of him.

"Hey McGuire, what's up?"

"Nothing Gordo, how about you?" Sure, in her daydreams it would have been a better first line but she was glad it was simple. She was way to distracted by the way he looked. He was obviously working out more, he had gotten taller too. But he looked wonderful jeans and a black tee shirt did the boy justice.

"Same old, same old." he smiled at her.

"So, what do you guys want to do?" Miranda interrupted without even realizing it.

"Ohh, I don't care." Lizzie suddenly snapped back to reality and looked at Miranda.

"Wait, I have the perfect idea." With that Miranda ran over to her bedside table and took something out.

a/n: yes a cliff hanger, sort of. Let me know what you think I will continue depending on reviews. Thanks 3
