"So, which would it be?" Miranda asked Gordo as they sat down at there usual spot under a tree during lunch.
"Neither." Miranda's look made him elaborate.
"It's just not very likely that I would ever be faced with a situation where I either had to kiss Ethan Craft or Larry Tudgemen" he said bluntly. It was there junior year of high school, and with Lizzie hanging out with the popular crowd more and more, there was a lot of time for Miranda and Gordo to hang out alone.
Though Lizzie was great, her separation brought Gordo and Miranda closer together, they could talk about pretty much anything, which they did. That though often led to conversations like the one in process.
"Well I know 'that' but you could still answer."
"Yeah I could, but then I'd have to actually 'think' about it and I'm 'really' trying not to" he said disgusted.
"Okay. Hey I have an idea"
"You get an idea?" Gordo teased
"Very funny, and yes, I do. Lets play that game where one of us asks the other questions and the one being asked has to respond quickly with out thinking about it." She said all excited.
"Miranda does that even work?" he asked skeptically.
"Yes, now clear your mind, is it clear?"
"Well it 'was'." he responded
"Okay lets see, who's better Spiderman or Superman?"
"Superman"
"Which do you prefer pizza or pasta?"
"Pasta"
"Who's more talented Christina Aguilera or Britany Spears?"
"Christina"
"Who's your best friend me or Lizzie?"
"You"
"Aw really? You're mine too!"
"Yeah thanks Miranda, but we knew that." he said sarcastically with a grin.
Miranda glared back at him with a grin of her own. "Back to the game, what's more important brains or beauty?"
"Brains"
"Do looks matter yes or no?"
"Yes" (A/N: Okay I know its Gordo, but he is a guy, and I'm not saying that looks are everything but she shouldn't be a total dog.)
"Who would you rather kiss, Lizzie or Kate?"
"Kate" he said before he could stop himself. "I mean…uh…well.."
"Oh my gosh! Really!?!" she gasped. Hoping she looked at least some what excited.
"Okay, yeah. It's just…well…I mean I went out with Lizzie a while back and there was nothing there but friendship and I know Kate and I were friends before too, but there could be something there."
Miranda tried to keep her face neutral but didn't fully succeed. Luckily Gordo misinterpreted her uncertain look, "And I know she's not your favorite person in the world but she's not a bad person, and she's smart underneath all that hairspray. Plus you have to admit she is pretty."
"You're right," she said with a smile, "and well I'm not sure it'll count for much but I'll put in a good word for ya'"
"Thanks 'Rand it means a lot to me, and could you not tell any one that I like her. You know, it's just not something I want getting out."
"Sure thing." Just then the bell to go back to class went off.
Sitting on her bed late that afternoon Miranda decided to write in her journal:
Dear Diary Journal,
I don't even know why I'm writing in here when Gordo got this for me it was intended as a joke, but now I guess I really need to figure out what's wrong with me. Well I guess since you're a book and don't know what's going on; I'll fill you in a bit.
Lizzie, Gordo, and I were best friends, since, well forever. Before middle school Kate was also one of our best friends, and then she got popular and deserted us.
During Middle School, Gordo developed a crush on Lizzie. Eventually they went out but decided they were better off as friends. Somewhere along the line Kate turned around a bit and became friends with Lizzie again. Now I don't hold much against Kate now, but well I guess our friendship just isn't there any more.
Lizzie, while still our friend, is sorta popular now. So that changes things. Not that Lizzie's a bad person or friend, 'cause she's cool it's just we've drifted a bit, especially since she started dating Danny Kessler.
In a way this whole friendship-rearrangement-thingy was good. It helped Gordo and I get closer together. We were always best friends, there's no doubt about that, but now I guess we can really tell each other everything. At least that's what I thought, until Gordo mentioned he likes Kate.
Now I know this shouldn't bother me, and it doesn't, but then why did I feel hurt when he told me? I don't have a problem with Kate any more, yet all I could think about was hurting her… but for what? Gordo doesn't belong to me, it's not like he's my boyfriend or anything we're just friends right?
J: Sure that's what they all say.
All I know is that I spent all day trying to avoid both Kate and Gordo for no good reason, plus to make matters worse I promised him I'd help hook them up! Why did I have to go and do that?
J: Because Miranda he's your friend!!
Gah! I'm really going crazy aren't I? I mean I'm having a conversation with a book, and as if it's not bad enough, I'm having it answer me! Okay so I'm writing in the responses but still.
J: Well if you're not gonna talk to Gordo…
Fine as I was saying I avoided them all day and now I feel guilty, I mean it's not there fault that I feel like this, right?
J: Right
So now I guess I should just be happy that Gordo may have found someone and help him out. That's what a friend should do, and it's not like he likes me.
Okay so first thing tomorrow I'll talk to Kate…wish me luck!
J: Good Luck!
Thanks. Till next time
Miranda closed the journal feeling oddly relieved, some how writing in that thing really seemed to help, so maybe Gordo and Kate would get together, she was fine with it, right?
Tell me what ya' think!
