Lizzie's Pov

My friend Kendra suggested that we should go to the mall so I could forget all about my fight with Gordo and so here we are, but I just can't stop thinking about Gordo or the fight we had. It just seems like nothing ever goes my way you know? It's just not fair. Oh well, that's what friends like Kendra are for, and I am so thankful for that. She has done so much for me.

"So Lizzie, what are you getting to eat?" Kendra asked me as we entered the food court.

I was so lost in my thoughts and I didn't know what to say. Yeah, it was a simple question but you know how things are when you have got so much on your mind like I do right now. "Um..." I started to say but I stopped because I saw two guys go into the arcade that was next to the food court, I only caught a small glimpse of the back of their heads but I knew who they were. It was Gordo and his good friend Kyle. Kyle, is Kendra's crush. Funny huh? How The four of us are like best friends and us girls have crushes on the two guys.

"Earth to Lizzie, yo Lizzie, HELLO?" Kendra looked me in the face. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Um... yeah," I replied in a dull voice. "I was just thinking about..." I stopped, I knew what Kendra was going to do now ...

"ELIZABETH MCGUIRE!" Kendra yelled. "What was the point of this outting to the mall? Hm? To get your mind off of Gordo? How the heck are you going to get your mind off of him when all you do is think of him!" She placed her hands on her hips. "C'mon Lizzie forget about him," she stated.

Yup! Excantly! I knew she was going to have a freak out as soon as she knew that I was thinking about Gordo, but that's Kendra for ya. She only wants to make me feel better, geez, don't I have the best friends on the planet? "Sorry... it's just that I'm kind of having a hard time forgetting about him. Besides I think I just saw him and Kyle go into the arcade," I said.

Kendra's POV

Poor Lizzie! I feel so bad for her. She and Gordo are totally meant for each other and look at them fighting and she loves him with her full heart and soul. There she is trying to get over it but can't... and to make matters worst Gordo has to be here, with ...Kyle. Okay, so I am totally in love with Kyle but that's not the point. I'm worried about my friend Lizzie. She knews me right now and I'm going to make sure that she has a great night. "So," I started. "Lizzie, what are you having to eat?" I asked once again. Geez, I really hate repeating myself.

"I think I'm going to have a chicken sald and a diet cola," Lizzie told me. "What about you Ken?" she asked me using my nickname. I hate my nickname, it makes me sound like some lame male barbie doll but I guess it cool.

"I think I'm going to go more on the wild side and have a chick burger, with a side order of fries and a diet cola," I told Lizzie. I loved to eat but I worked out. I knew how to watch my weight and all, I didn't want to let myself get out of control.

Lizzie laughed. "That's what I love about you, your not worried to pig out," she said.

Finally! I got Lizzie to laugh. "Well excuse me," I placed my hands on my hips. "It's not like you don't pig out while your at home," I restorted.

Lizzie laughed again. "Whatever..." she giggled. Then we ordered our food and we sat down and we talked about our plans for the evening.

"I think we should go play some games at the arcade," Lizzie suggested, taking a sip of her diet cola.

"Lizzie, I don't think that's such a good idea. I know why you want to go there and it will only make you more upset, maybe we should go see a movie instead?" I suggested. I knew Lizzie only wanted to go play games just to see Gordo, but me, knowing what that would do to Lizzie, just couldn't let her do it because I knew she would end up getting even more upset.

"Oh, alright," Lizzie agreed, finishing up her salad and the rest of her diet cola.

"Great," I said, while finishing up the remainder of my fries and the rest of my diet cola. I just hope that I can get Lizzie's mind off of Gordo.

Lizzie's POV

Here we are, Kendra and I that is, at the movies watching a movie called; War Of The Worlds. Which I am surprisingly enjoying. I usually go to the movies with Gordo. Okay! I'm sorry but I cannot stop thinking about him. How does anyone in the whole entire world expect me to forget about the guy that I have loved my whole life and I love him so much. It's impossible for me to forget about him, but I'll just pretend because I know Kendra will have another freak out. Yes, Kendra's a great friend, but I just don't want to stop thinking about Gordo, even if I could, I don't think I would be able to.

"Lizzie," Kendra whrispered to me about half way through the movie.

"Yeah..." I replied paying more attension to the movie than what I was paying to her.

"Um... what time is it?" Kendra asked me.

"It's only about eight... why?" I asked her.

"Well, I got to be home by ten, so I guess I got no worries," Kendra said, sitting back in her seat.

"I guess not," I said. "Now, be quiet, I like this movie," I smiled. Maybe things did seem a little better and perhaps in school tomorrow I would be able to work things out with Gordo.

I know it's short but it's an update, right? So there! Anyway, hope you people like it. Buh Bye!

God Bless Y'all,

Desiree
