"Yo, Lizzie!" called Miranda. It was a sunny Monday morning, and Lizzie had just gotten off the bus to school. "Did you hear about the Spring Dance?"
"No, why? Somethin' up?"
"Well, you know how it was scheduled to be next Friday?"
"Yeah, so?"
"For some stupid reason, they decided to move it to THIS Friday! And I don't even have a date!"
"Me neither, for that fact," agreed Lizzie. "Hmm. Oops, there's the bell. I gotta get to first period. See ya later, Miranda." And with that, Lizzie marched off to her history class. She walked in the door just as the late bell rang.
"Hello, Lizzie," greeted her teacher. "Sit down, we're working on our geography maps."
"Okay." Lizzie sat obediently in her seat next to Gordo. "Hey Gordo."
"Hey Lizzie," replied Gordo. "Did you hear about the rescheduling of the Spring Dance?"
"Yeah, isn't it horrible! And I don't even have a date!"
"Not really. It just forces me to do something I had wanted to put off. I was wondering…would you…like to go to the dance with me?"
"Sure, Gordo, that would be great. But what about Miranda?"
"Oh, don't worry about her. She'll understand, after all, Ethan Craft or someone ought to go for her."
"Well, okay."
~Later at lunch~
"Gordo!" Lizzie leaned over to him and whispered. "Does Miranda know?"
"Know what?"
"Hello! Dance?"
"Oh, well, I haven't told her yet."
"Okay. Well I thought she had the right to know. I think she'll be awful upset…"
"I told you already, Lizzie! She's a good friend. She'll understand!"
"Okay. Hey Miranda…"
"Yeah?"
"Well, I thought you should know something…"
"HEY LIZZIE!" yelled Ethan Craft from the other side of the lunchroom! Can I talk to ya for a sec?"
Toon Lizzie flops to the ground with hearts floating around her head
"Um, sure. Hold on a minute, Miranda." Lizzie walked over to Ethan. "You wanted me, Ethan?"
"Ya, um…well…I wanted to know if you would go to the dance with me."
Toon Lizzie: Omg…my best friend, or the hottest guy in school! Well, I already said yes to Gordo. But how many chances will I have with *Ethan Craft*???
"Aren't you going out with Kate?"
"Nah, we broke up last week."
"Oh…um…well…"
"So is that a yes or no?"
"Well…okay!"
"Cool, I'll meet you there at 7."
Toon Lizzie: What have I DONE?
Lizzie bounced back to her table, guilty, embarrassed, and happy at the same time.
"What'd Ethan want?" asked Gordo.
"Um…nuttin' much." replied Lizzie. "Ya. Well, um, I gotta get going. See ya!" Lizzie dumped her full tray
into the garbage and walked out the cafeteria door as quick as she could.
"Is it just me, or is something up with Lizzie?" asked Miranda.
"Hmm, I dunno," said Gordo, "She did seem a bit in a hurry. Wonder if it had something to do with Ethan Craft?"
--The Next Day—
"Hey Gordo," Lizzie said as she walked to the front steps of the school. "Can I speak to you for a sec?"
"Sure, Lizzie, what is it?"
"Well, I can't go with you to the dance anymore."
"But why not?"
"Because…I have other things to do. Sorry." With that, Lizzie ran off.
"Hmm," pondered Gordo aloud. "Something's up. Lizzie's acting real strange."
