4th Grade: Been There, Done That

A/N: I didn't write chapters 1-6. PersonY2K is the author of 1-6. I'm just continuing for her. Since I'm in 5th grade this year I was happy to continue for her. Please R/R her wonderful story.

Chapter One: Second Day

Lizzie POV

"This is great!" I exclaimed on the second day of fifth grade.

"I know, really! We're fifth graders now! I mean, seriously. No more getting picked on, no more 'Awwww, look at them, they're so cute'. Thank god!" Kate smiled.

"What's to like?" Gordo piped up. "This'll be like one of those years when everyone is bragging about what they have, and whining about what they don't."

"Ignore him." Miranda said.

"Don't we always?" I laughed. "This is amazing! We actually get lockers! And switch classes... whatever those are."

"So, Lizzie, who do you like?" Kate asked out of nowhere.

"Okay, that was random." I said, and then continued. "But, you know... I don't know."

Miranda scoffed. "Like always. Just tell us, get it over with."

"I seriously don't know who I like!" I exclaimed. "I'm not like you guys, drooling over every guy I see."

"Hey, I don't do that!" Gordo exclaimed, and we all burst out laughing.

"What can I say? Noah is so HOT!" Kate sighed.

"How can you judge someone when you've only known them for a day?" Gordo asked, clearly confused.

Now that was a change.

"Noah's ugly!" Miranda exclaimed.

"Who's Noah?" I asked.

"A hottie."

"Not!"

"You think everyone is hot."

"I don't want to be part of this conversation." Gordo said, walking into the school.

"You know, for some awkward reason, I agree."

Miranda POV

"It's so weird!" I exclaimed to Kate. "I'm so weird!"

"Miranda, not wearing a bra doesn't mean you're weird." Kate assured.

Right.

"But Kate, everyone has a bra!"

"Gordo doesn't."

"Very funny." I said sarcastically. "But, I'm serious. If I want to be popular, I need one!"

"You want to be *what*?!" Kate exclaimed, as if the very thought was horrifying.

I don't know why, but for some reason, Kate was bitter enemies with Claire Miller. She can be a little rude sometimes, but she's not that annoying. But Claire's popular, and you know what that means... Kate hates popular people.

"What's wrong with wanting to be popular?" I asked her.

"A lot." She said, and stormed off, leaving me confused.

Well, at least I had Lizzie and Gordo.
