Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, Lizzie began to dial Miranda's phone number. After a moment of ringing, Miranda finally picked up. "Hello." Came a sleepy voice.

"Miranda, hey! It's Lizzie." Lizzie said into the receiver.

"Lizzie.not again!" Miranda rolled over in her bed. "Listen, tomorrow will be fine. Gordo and I will be there and we'll all get through this."

Lizzie sighed. Yeah, it was so easy for her to say that. "Reality check, Miranda, this is high school! What if I get in a fight with the school bully? Or what if Katie decides that she wants to make fun of me then whole year? There's like 100 new people that we're going to meet. And like ½ of them are popular, so it's like Katie times 50!"

Miranda sat up in her bed. "Lizzie, you're thinking about this way to much, just get some sleep!"

"You're right." Lizzie agreed. "I'm sorry I bothered you." Click. Lizzie laid back down in her bed and glanced at her alarm clock. 2:30 AM. "This is just great." She thought to herself. "High school starts tomorrow, and already Kate is making my life miserable!"
