Lizzie slammed her locker shut and clasped her pink folder to her chest where it made a soft sound against the sequin pink butterfly on her shirt. She hadn't stopped thinking about him since the video shoot. Miranda knew something was wrong, Lizzie could tell, but she supposed she knew it was something important because she didn't dare ask. Lizzie totally loved her friends, I mean, they usually backed off but she knew when it got too serious Miranda would definitely investigate the situation with her unnatural powerful words of persuasion. As well as Gordo who would probably try to analyze her or something; but he did stop doing that in the 7th grade what should make 8th different? Miranda stood next to Lizzie and kept glancing over at her. Miranda's combat boots clunked on the floor as Lizzie's pink Sketchers barely made a squeak. They were a lot different though they were best friends, as they say, opposites attract. Though some people would mistake them for identical soul mates since they were always together but really they were quite different. Miranda cleared her through obviously trying to initiate conversation when Lizzie didn't even bother (this was a huge give away to the problem thing). "Uh, so, Lizzie did you finish the algebra homework Mr. Diggs gave us yesterday?" Lizzie started walking with Miranda; they had just been standing there for about two minutes. She turned to Miranda and looked a little bewildered. "Algebra? What Algebra?" Miranda started to worry a little bit. Lizzie wasn't all that smart but she hardly missed an assignment unless it was something utterly important. "The Algebra homework that we're supposed to be learning in 9th grade, don't you remember? Mr. Diggs wanted to give us a head start." Lizzie gasped and clasped a hand over her mouth, which smeared her lip-gloss. She wiped her hands on her hot pink pants (OOS: She actually MATCHED today OK?) and turned to Miranda obviously hating herself for not remembering. "Oh, no Miranda! I didn't do it! What am I gonna do? Can I copy from yours?" Miranda smiled a little and nodded. She was always willing to help her best friend with the smallest things and even the biggest, that's what friends are for anyway. "Sure, Lizzie." Lizzie sighed with relief. How could she not remember? Oh yeah, she had been thinking about him all night and writing his name in all in her notebooks (which she kept at home and under her bed in a shoebox full of other things she had scribbled his name on). They made there way to English where they would soon meet Gordo. ***********************************************************************

"OK, Lizzie that was weird." Miranda gaped at her obviously troubled friend. She had just done what she didn't even think she would do. "What was weird?" Lizzie hadn't even noticed she was scribbling the first letter of his name all over a piece of paper, though Gordo and Miranda didn't even notice. She had just asked Ethan Craft if she could borrow a pencil because she had forgotten hers and she didn't even turn to mush. "You.you.." Miranda was at a loss for words and she was flailing her hands in disbelief while Gordo turned around and just simply said a few words. "You asked Ethan Craft for a pencil and it was comprehendible." "Yeah!" Miranda cried. Gordo didn't know what was worrying her so much. So Lizzie had finally wised up about that Ethan Craft; that meant there was more room for him in her life. "Calm down Miranda." Gordo grabbed hold of her shoulders and shook her a few times until she sat down in her chair still gaping like a fish. Gordo sniggered and turned in his seat as their English teacher came in. Miranda knew she had to ask Lizzie what as up as soon as she could, Lizzie would tell her.of course she would.would she?
