Chapter 1

"Lizzie McGuire, will you marry me?" Those very words struck Lizzie like a rock.

David Gordon was kneeling on the hard, university floor brandishing a purple velvet box, which was opened. A half carat diamond rested on the smooth surface of the silver engagement band was embedded gracefully in the box.

Lizzie gasped in surprise. Gordo beamed at her exhilarated expression and stood up slowly, wincing at his sore knee.

"Oh Gordo," Lizzie whispered, she shut the box with a flick of her finger and smiled joyously. "Of course I will."

Gordo opened his eyes, relieved. "Mrs. Elizabeth Gordon," he murmured. "How well that sounds."

Claire spun around the corner, her eyes flashing with jealousy. She had witnessed the whole scene and was not exactly celebrating.

"That prune," she growled, turning her heel and marching over to the water cooler.

Miranda and Kate rushed around the corner, where the couple was lip locking.

Kate gasped in delight, stretching out her hand to stop Miranda.

"Shh… LOOK." Kate shrieked, not bothering to mute her own volume.

Miranda glanced in open astonishment. "Lizzie! Gordo!"

A small purple box caught Kate's attention. "Whoa! Look! Is that what I think it is?"

The Mexican pinched her arm, only to yelp in pain. "Okay," she brushed her arm. "So I was not dreaming. Are they engaged?"

"C'mon. People'd want to use the floor," Lizzie teased playfully, pulling Gordo up.

Gordo wiped his lips with the back of his hand.

"Lip gloss. Can't live without it, can't avoid it," Gordo sighed, rubbing his hand on his trousers. "Shh. Don't tell my Dad. It's his lucky golf pants."

"David! Your Dad's pants!" Lizzie laughed, clapping both hands together.

"Turns out it's also my lucky pants too," Gordo laughed. "Should borrow it again tomorrow."

Lizzie raised an eyebrow.

"Geography test. Should pass neatly, with these trousers." Gordo joked, speeding away on seeing Lizzie's shocked expression.

Lizzie chased him. She caught him with some trouble. She whacked him good-naturedly.

"That'll teach you, you sneaky little brown noser," Lizzie declared in triumph, dusting her hands off.

I changed the first chapter. I think I need a good start. Besides, that was so two years ago.

Yours,
