AN I don't own anything especially Lizzie Maguire. I am just a person with
a little too much time on my hands.
This story is set in the future. None of the characters are still speaking to each other. So please read and review to make me fell loved.
Lizzie couldn't believe her luck. This couldn't be happening to her. She was failing math. She had never failed anything in her life or gotten anything less then a C. The worst part was it was her senior year in high school and she needed to past math in order to graduate. Her math teacher had made a suggestion. He said that Lizzie should go to peer tutoring so that someone might be able to help her get her grade up. Reluctantly, Lizzie agreed but she was not pleased with the situation. So it was Tuesday afternoon and Lizzie had to spend an hour after school in the tutoring program. Lizzie could think of a million other places she rather be most of them involving her boyfriend of four years Ethan. Lizzie entered the tutoring room not knowing what to expect.
Mr. Greene (head of tutoring program): Lizzie Maguire, right? You are here for extra math instruction, correct? I think you are paired with our resident math expert Dave. He is over there.
Lizzie: All right then lets get this over with.
Lizzie couldn't believe her eyes. She could believe who her tutor was it was her ex best friend David "Gordo" Gordon. They along with Miranda were best friends throughout elementary school and middle school. Throughout those years they were inseparable. The three of them always had each other's backs. Lizzie hated to admit it but she missed that feeling. It was in high school everything changed. The boy she had been pinning over since she met him asked Lizzie out. Soon the pair was inseparable. Ethan and Lizzie went everywhere together. Shortly, Lizzie began to loose touch with her friends. They didn't seem to have time for each other anymore. Lizzie was too busy with her boyfriend and her new popular friends. Gordo was in all the accelerated classes and soon became friends with all the computer geeks. Miranda on the other hand was hanging out with the partiers. Soon there was just no room in their lives for each other. Lizzie hated to admit it but she hadn't spoken one word to Gordo since freshmen year.
Lizzie walked up to her long lost friend and tapped him on the shoulder: Remember me?
Gordo: Hey Lizzie so what do I owe the pleasure of this conversation? You know we are in public right? I thought we could only be secret friends when your friends aren't around. Well at least that is what you told me during freshmen year.
Lizzie: Hey that was mean what did I do to deserve that?
Gordo: Well, I don't know oh wait I suddenly remembered. You dumped us that's what. As soon as Ethan's group "accepted" you. You dumped your old friends like no big deal.
Lizzie: Wow Gordo. I had no idea how much I hurt you.
Gordo: Well you did. Wouldn't it hurt you if your so-called best friend started to talk behind your back all the time and never had time for you any more? So lets get back to my first question, why are you here?
Lizzie: I think you are tutoring me in math. And for your information I am not the same girl I was back then so can we just put all that crap behind us?
Gordo: Whatever. So you are the senior who is in danger of not graduating.
Lizzie: I must have a big case of senioritis or something but I can't seem to focus on math.
Gordo: Well don't worry about it happens to the best of us. I help you out. I'll get you through it. It is my job afterall.
Lizzie: Thanks you don't know how much you will be helping me.
Gordo: So what's the problem?
Lizzie: Everything vectors, logs, polynomials, functions, radians, slope. You name it I don't understand it.
Gordo: Okay lets get cracking.
They spent the hour of the tutoring program working and Lizzie was still having trouble so she made a suggestion.
Lizzie: Gordo I think that I still need a lot of help if I am going to have a prayer. So would you mind coming over later like after dinner or something or even right now so we can work some more.
Gordo: Sure I have no plans and I don't really want to go home and get interrogated by my mom.
Lizzie: Why?
Gordo: Today is my dad's day to have dinner with me and he canceled and lets just put it this way my mom is not happy when he does that to me. I personally don't care. It's kinda sad actually I see the same amount of my dad now then before the divorce.
Lizzie: Wow I had no idea that your parents got divorced. I am sorry that really sucks. So come on we will go and get some good old Maguire style cooking.
Gordo: Okay that's sounds great Lizzie.
They drove the mile and a half to the Maguire household in silence. Lizzie couldn't believe that she had no idea that his parents were divorced. Some friend she has been. Now Lizzie felt extremely ashamed for dumping him because he was not cool enough. Gordo was always there for her through thick and thin and she wasn't there for him when he probably needed here the most. And today after the way she had treated him, he was still willing to help her out. Boy did she feel about two inches tall. They arrived at the house.
Gordo: Some things never change. Your house looks exactly the same.
Lizzie: Hey mom I hope you don't mind but I brought someone for dinner. Is that okay?
Jo: Sure it is. And guess what I am making Ethan's favorite dish tonight so fo course he is welcome to join us.
Lizzie: I didn't bring Ethan though it's someone else.
Gordo: Hey Mrs. Maguire! Remember me.
Jo: Oh my god. In a million years I would not suspect Lizzie to bring you home for dinner. Oh let me give you a hug it is so good to see you.
Gordo: Thanks its good to be here. I just came by to help Lizzie in math. I had to tutor her after school for the honors society.
Jo: So whats new with you I feel like I haven't seen you in years?
Gordo: Nothing much I just found out that I got into USC on a full film making scholarship. It was my first choice school.
Jo: Congratulations. I hear that congrats are in order for your mom too. Mrs. Cunniham told me that she is marrying that boyfriend of hers.
Gordo (looking uncomfortable): Yeah the happy day is set for in June. I am so glad I am going away to college.
Matt walks in.
Matt: Gordo hey guess what I got a new video game that you got to see.
Gordo: Okay let me see it. Awww. Cool I have been wanting this game forever.
Lizzie: I see nothing has changed between you two.
Matt: As far as I am concerned Gordo is my hero. He saved me on my butt on the first day of freshmen year.
Gordo: Yeah it was really no big deal some jerk was trying to take advantage of him in the lunch line so I kinda stepped in.
Matt: Some guy was trying to take my lunch money from Lanny and me and Gordo stepped in and as soon as the guy saw him he backed down.
Gordo: Yeah I used to tutor the guy in science and I have some incriminating information on him. Besides it was no big deal. A friend was in trouble I did what I had to do in order to help him.
Lizzie was amazed. Gordo put his neck on the line in order to help her brother and his friend. He hadn't even spoken to matt in three years yet he still felt a need to protect him. She was beginning to regret not having Gordo in her life anymore. Sure she missed him. Like how he could always cheer her mood up. He knew exactly how to make her laugh. Now that Lizzie thinks about it she realizes that Gordo was the perfect friend. But she thought what she had with her new friends was better. Lizzie was now wondering if she made the wrong choice. Without a moment's hesitation, she knew in her heart that she wanted Gordo back in her life again.

Ethan: Okay (kisses her) I'll call you tonight. Don't forget that Kate's party is tomorrow night okay.

Lizzie couldn't believe it she just lied to the love of her life and for what. She decided that she needed to reprioritize.
