Chapter 5
"Miranda! How could you tell him!?" Lizzie said gawking.
"I, I thought you had already told him... I," Miranda stuttered.
"Uh, hello? What about me? How do you think I feel? One of my best friends like me and she and my other best friend are fighting. Not to mention that about fifteen people are staring at us," he added in a whisper. They hadn't noticed that they had started to yell at each other, in a public place. All three blushed scarlet.
Miranda's anger bubbled, "What are you looking at? Come on guys let's go to the park and talk where people won't stare at us!"
The three went outside, mounted their bikes, and rode to the park. Once they had each found a place on the merry go round Miranda spoke first, "Are you mad at me Lizzie?"
"I guess not, it was an honest mistake."
Looking at her watch, Miranda jumped up and said, "Ok, I really do have to go this time. My mom said to be home by 8:30."
"Okay, bye Miranda."
There was silence for a minute until Gordo spoke, "So, you like me." It wasn't a question.
"Yeah I would have told you earlier, I just couldn't do it though."
"I wish Miranda hadn't told me."
"I know, I should have told you."
"No, I really wish Miranda hadn't told me."
"I..."
"No, you don't get it! I wish no one had told me!" More silence followed.
"What?" Lizzie murmured blankly.
"I wish nobody had told me so that I didn't have to tell you this! I don't like you that way."
"Oh, Lizzie mumbled, blinking back tears. "Hey, um, I got to go," Lizzie said as the first tear slid down her cheek. She stood up and started to leave.
"Lizzie wait!" Gordo called. She just shook her head and walked faster.
