A/N: Hey, hows it going all of you? well I'm doing good, just got over a fresh case of writers block again (seems to happen in cycles with me), anyways on to the next part of our little LG story. Apologies for any of you LG hardcore fanatics out there, but this chapter isn't so much LG as Gordo/Parker, and the reults are Lizzies reactions towards Gordo's new relationship. RandR please?

A New Feeling

It was nearing the end of October and over a month since Lizzie and Gordo had made up, and their friendship was as strong as ever. Gordo had been placed in all advanced classes, which was normal for him, and Lizzie was only in his class for AV English and AV Business. If anything, Lizzie not seeing Gordo in every lesson had made her miss him more than normal during the school day. Not having to listen to him rattle on about politics for hours had eliminated the most annoying thing about her best friend, which had made him an even more perefect person, if it was possible.

Lizzie still missed Miranda. She had been living in Mexico since the last week of the summer break, and she had missed her girl best friend a lot, not getting to engage in huge conversations about boys or clothes. This forced Lizzie to resort to looking for a new girl best friend, which was hard as in some way she thought of it as a betrayal of Miranda.

"Hey, Veruca." Lizzie said, as she entered her first class of the week, Math. Lizzie hated math, all those complicated numbers to deal with. However, she had sat next to Veruca on the first day, and she had been getting increasingly close to her since then. Veruca was a great person, tall and pretty. They both liked the same things, and had lots in common. One of the main things they shared was they both had a guy best friend to consider. Veruca had been friends with Larry Tudgeman since quite young, as had Lizzie and Gordo. The fact that they both had guys to think of, made many of the conversations between them based on all the great qualities of their individual guys.

"Gordo is so smart, and considerate. He always looks out for my best interests, and he's a great kisser." Lizzie said. What was that last one? Oh no, what did I just say, she thought to herself.

"Um... yea. Did you just say what I thought you said, Lizzie?" Veruca said, confused.

"Um... I... I... yea, I think I did." Lizzie managed to stutter out. She went a dark shade of red and tried to cover her embarrassment by putting her head under the table, pretending to look for a text book. Moments later, she raised her head back up, hoping that Veruca wouldn't question her more.

"So you do know that Gordo is taken now, right?" Veruca, said. Lizzie raised an eyebrow.

"What? Gordo has a girlfriend? who?" Asked Lizzie, shocked about this new development. And also feeling... a little jealousy? No, it couldn't be, she was just being protective, not jealous, She thought.

"Parker? you know... the pretty brown haired girl who has been crazy about him since like... 7th grade?" Veruca revealed.

Lizzie suddenly got a vision of her pounding Parker McKensie really hard with a very big club. She clenched her fists.

"He... didn't tell me. Hey Mr.Chapman? can I be excused? I don't feel very well." She shouted to their teacher at the front of the classroom.

"Ok, Ms.McGuire, but I expect your homework next lesson." The teacher shouted, as Lizzie ran out of the classroom and towards the science labs. Both her and Gordo had memorised eachothers timetables in order to remember where eachother were so they could meet up between classes.

Lizzie's womanly primal insticts had kicked in, and her better judgement was ignored. She ran over to the lab door, and saw Gordo at the front of the class, obviously teaching the class something that even the professor didn't know. Gordo is so smart, she thought. She opened up her cell phone, and sent a text to Gordo to pretend he was feeling sick and to as to be excused. He complied with her demands, and left the lab.

As soon as he had shut the door, Lizzie jumped onto him and pinned both his arms to the ground.

"What the hell is going on, David Gordon?" Lizzie asked. Ut oh, Gordo thought, she never called him by his first name unless she was mad at him. He broke her hold on his arms, and sat up against a locker with her next to him.

"You know, there's better ways to get my attention these days than just jumping on me, for example, you could wear that high cut skirt that you wore that day in Rome, that would surely get me to listen." He said, jokingly. Lizzie laughed, but realised this wasn't the time for jokes.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were going out with this McKensie slut?" Lizzie said, starting to cry. She didn't know why she was so immotional all of a sudden.

"Hey, she isn't a slut, and don't insult her anymore. She's a great girl and makes me happy. I thought you would be happy for me. Getting to know more girls, and in turn giving you more time to find 'cute boys', if my terminology is correct." Gordo said, with a hint of curiousity in his voice.

"Well, i don't know what terminology means, but there's one thing I don't like you doing, and that's not telling me about your relationships, Gordo. I'm your best friend, have you forgotten that? Arn't we supposed to tell eachother everything, and another thing. I don't like the thought of not having you all to myself." Lizzie said, and Gordo's stomach did several backflips. He could feel all those old feelings rushing back into his heart and brain. Lizzie suddenly also realised what she had said, and went so red, Gordo thought she had momentarily turned into a strawberry.

"Um... yea...I'm sorry Lizz, I agree, I should have told you about Parker. But cant you see why I didn't now? you have reacted the exact way I thought you would. Angry, and obiously, very jealous." He said, smiling and feeling suddenly very self-confident.

"No... thats not it. I am angry, but only because you didn't think of telling me. I'm happy for you, Gordo. Parker is a lovely girl. As a matter of fact, I feel that congratulations are in order. This is a big occasion, Gordo." Lizzie lied. She was actually feeling a lot more jealousy than anger. But she figured it was only because that Parker threatened to take what little hangout time they had left from them.

"Truthfully? you really are happy for me?" Gordo said, not entirely convinced.

"Yea... so... do you think she's prettier than me?" Lizzie said, and for some reason, started hoping that he said 'No, not at all your a lot more pretty than Parker.'

"No... she's pretty, but not as pretty as you are, Lizz." Lizzie smiled. "She's thinner though." Gordo joked. Lizzie playfully hit his arm, and they walked down the corridor hand in hand. They walked past the social studies rooms, and Gordo saw Parker sat at the back with Kate and Claire. He blew a kiss to her through the glass, and she blew one back. Lizzie felt rejected. How could he do this to me? ignore me while taking notice of some girl he hardly knows, she thought. Lizzie turned around, and looked around for someone she knew, so she could ditch Gordo with Parker, and she could go restart her search for a boyfriend. In the last few weeks, She had stopped looking for boys, and had tried to focus more on Gordo and hers relationship. Gordo had obviously not been taking so much care of their friendship.

"Hey, beautiful."Gordo said, and Lizzie turned around, smiling as she thought that Gordo had said she was beautiful.

"Hey, handsome." Parker said, and Lizzie frowned. In order to not become a third wheel, and beause she thought that she might start crying at any moment, Lizzie said her goodbyes to the new couple, and stamped her way down the corridor in a mad rage.

"What's her problem?" Parker said, as they took eachothers hands, and walked the opposite way they Lizzie had.

"Not sure. We're just friends. She made that clear to me at the start of the year. So I don't understand why she seems so jealous." Gordo answered, still hoping that Lizzie indeed, was jealous.

"Yea, well make sure it stays like that, Dave. Lizzie might have finally realised what a hunk you are, but she was too slow on the uptake, and now your my boyfriend, right?" Said, Parker.

"Don't worry, Parker. I'm yours, I don't like Lizzie that way anymore, she crushed my feelings for her by rejecting me. If she's finally now realising how much she loves me, then too bad for her." Gordo said, still feeling a little angry at how Lizzie decided not to talk about the kisses in Rome and at graduation.

"Ok, well as long as we're clear on that. Anyways, I have to go study for a test, Dave. Can you come help me tonight at my place?" Parker said, desperately.

"Sure, Ok, I can cancel my plans with Lizzie, she'll understand." Gordo said, knowing full well that Lizzie would be very angry about him cancelling.

Lizzie reached the door of her house after school that day in a very bad state. She had been feeling down ever since Gordo had called Parker beautiful and ignored her.

She stepped through the door, and ran upstairs to her room. She opened the door, and flung herself onto her bed. Suddenly the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Lizz. It's Gordo. I just wanted to call you to ask if we could hang out another time, because Parker asked me over to her place tonight. Is that ok with you?" Gordo said, sounding sincere.

"Ok, Gordo. But as long as you agree to hang out with me tomorrow night, Ok?" Lizzie lied. It wasn't ok with her for him to cancel. She again felt left out of the equation of Gordo's life.

"Thanks Lizz. Your the best." He said, and he hung up.

Lizzie started to cry. She didn't know why, but after a while it started to become more apparant that she was exetremely jealous of Parker. Gordo had always been her best friend, and she had always been his. They had always spent every available hour of their days hanging out, or watching movies. Gordo had never cancelled a hangout session with her before. She cried even more.

"Whatsup, Sis?" Matt said, opening the door, and slipping inside her room, trying not to make a sound.

"Promise you won't tell anyone?"

"I Promise. Now spill." Matt said. Lizzie felt weird, this had also never happened before. Matt actually sounded like he was concerned about her. This was a surprising, yet nice event. It made Lizzie feel a little bit better.

"Well... I'm angry with Gordo cause hes forgotten all about me and gone off with Parker, his new girlfriend."

"Sis, I hate to say it, but I think you may have brought this on yourself. Gordo has been waiting for you to realise how much you like him for years, and now he's finally given up on chasing your affections and moved on. I can relate to what Gordo is doing, Lizz. You took him for granted a whole lot in middle school, and now he's reacting to your earlier rejection of him, by rejecting you." Matt finished.

Lizzie hated to say it, but she felt that more than half of what her brother said was true. She had finally realised how much she took Gordo for granted. However, how Matt could think that Lizzie liked Gordo as more than a friend was astonishing. She didn't think of him that way... did she?

"I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, Lizz, but I feel you have missed your chance with David Gordon. It's time to move on like he has." Matt said, hugging his sister.

"I can't, Matt. Gordo has been my best friend too long for me to just forget about him. I dont care how much i have to do to do it, but I'm gona get my Gordo back." She said, feeling bery determined all of a sudden.

"Good luck, Sis. You'll need it after all the stuff you have put Gordo through in the last few months." He said, and he slipped back out through the door to Lizzie's room.
