The happy dance will have to wait. The phone just rang.
"Hello?"
"Miranda? It's Lizzie. How did today go?"
"It was awesome!! I was really, really nervous, but I went out there and performed my song, and didn't even trip at the pivot-shimmy part!!!"
"AHHH! That's totally awesome!!!"
"I know!"
"So, what were the other competitors like?"
"There were a lot of older girls, 16 and up, and they were all really good, like they had taken professional lessons. They all sang Whitney Houston songs."
"Wow, I'm glad you chose something different."
"Me too. But Lizzie, now I'm really scared. What if I don't get called back? What if they think I suck? What am I going to do?"
"Miranda?! Calm down! You did great and…UGH…Matt absolutely has to use the phone, but I'll see you in school tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay. Hasta la vista, chica."
"Bye, Miranda."
Poor Lizzie. I'm glad my baby sister doesn't know how to use the phone yet. I can't imagine how horrible that would be. Now, where was I? Oh yes, that's right, happy dance.

The happy dance will have to wait. The phone just rang again.
"Hello?"
"Miranda? Hey, it's Gordo."
"Gordo? Uh, hi Gordo, what's up…?"
"I just wanted to see how today went."
"Today was great, really great."
"That's good. Um, did you wait a long time at the audition?"
"Yeah, uh, it took a couple of hours."
"Really? Hmm…I wouldn't have figured it to take that long…"
"Well, it was."
"Mmmhmm…"
"Gordo?"
"Yeah?"
"This is the worst phone conversation we've ever had."
"I know."
"Why?"
"Well…uh…um…Miranda?"
"Yeah?"
"Umm…I liked it."
"Liked what?"
"Kissing you today."
"Oh. Uh…I liked it too."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Great!"
"So, uh…I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"Bye, Gordo."
"Bye, Miranda."
And now ladies and gentlemen, my happy dance!!!! Woo, uh, uh, yeah!! Wahoo! Break it down now…
