The Memory of Left Behind Chapter 5
A/N: Dylan Shelby, you best not read this until it's done then if it bugs you so much, but thanks for the reviews anyway. Thanks everyone else who reviewed. If you like Higher Ground I also have a story on there called Temptation Island, but it's under the pen name missie. Anyways, enough self promotion. Sorry about this not knowing, I know it must beg y'all.
Dedication: This is dedicated to Bee, cuz I was lookin for this one thing, and I found it in her story. I was sooo happy! Okay, I am a dork.
A/N: On this story it starts on Friday.
Miranda grabbed the phone and began dialing Gordo's number. It ringed twice, and then Gordo finally picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Gordo mumbled into the phone
"Gordo, what are you doing tonight?"
"I'm watching 20/20, they have an expose on bouncing UFOs."
Miranda sighed. "No Gordo, you are going to go with me and Ethan to the opening of the Digital Bean. Well, the re-opening."
"No, I am not. Besides, do you really think they'd let me back in there?"
"Of course they would, just as long as you promised never to do it again."
"I don't know about that, but it doesn't matter anyway, because Lizzie and Crew will be there tonight."
Miranda laughed at Gordo, he always thought Lizzie and Caleb would be everywhere they went. "You don't know that for sure. Even if they do, I mean, they can't keep you away."
"I do know for sure. Lizzie told me. I know, I just don't feel like seeing Tougman getting cozy with Kate."
"Wait a minute, Lizzie told you? Since when do you and Lizzie talk?"
"Well, since Wednesday."
"What? Why wasn't I informed about this?"
"Well, I don't know, I thought I might surprise you."
"Why were y'all talking anyway?"
"Because, we're partners in math. Why does it matter anyway?"
"It matters because you didn't tell me. Math? Y'all don't even have the same class, I don't think they do cross-siding in our school."
"I know, but the Other Side doesn't have a good enough math class for me, so I had to go to This Side."
"Oh, well why didn't you tell me you jerk?"
"I didn't think it was too important. Look, I have to go. I'll see you later."
"Yeah later, like tonight." Miranda said firmly. Then she heard a defiant click and Gordo was gone. "Ugh." Miranda fumed. She couldn't believe Gordo forgot to tell her something like this. But more than that, she was a little happy. If Lizzie had told Gordo her plans, then maybe they could all forget. Lizzie smiled to herself as she started to get dressed, the thought of being friends with Lizzie made her happy, after all, if Lizzie and her were fine again, she wouldn't be stuck having to talk to herself about feminine stuff. And, she would have a good shopping partner. 'Well,' She told herself. 'maybe I'll have someone to call in the mornings again.'

Gordo layed back on his bed after hanging up on Miranda. He didn't want to tell her about Lizzie, because he didn't want to get her hopes up. But it was too late for that. He could just imagine what she was thinking, she was thinking that now everything was going to go back to the way it used to be. Nothing could ever go to go back to the way it once was. Not just in the case of him and Lizzie, but in life in general. Once something changed then things could never go back to the way they were, that was just the way things were. But Miranda wouldn't except that fact. And that was what would crush her in the end. Gordo sighed, he might as well tried to protect her, so he got up and got dressed. 'Oh well.' He said looking at the TV. 'Bouncing UFOs weren't an interesting story anyway.'

Lizzie sat down at the table and looked around, it was almost the exact same as it had once been. Except now it had a little more of an edge to it. Caleb walked over to her and she couldn't help but smile. He was just too cute, even the little scar above his eyebrow was cute.
"So." He said sitting down next to her. "What would the lady like to drink?"
"Hmm, I dunno, just get me whatever you're getting. Oh, and a pretzel."
Caleb laughed at her and then walked off. Looking around again Lizzie decided that anyone who didn't know what had happened wouldn't be able to tell anything had. The wall had been repainted, and they had new chairs and tables. The only thing in the Digital Bean that showed any indication that it had ever happened was Caleb's scar. She was interrupted from her thoughts when Natalie walked up to her.
"Guess who I got to come?" Natalie asked Lizzie excitedly.
"I dunno, Casey Casum?"
"Ha, ha, Damon. He is so cute, he said he'd be here at seven. Which means he should be here in about five minutes. Oh, crap, I don't have that much time, what should I be doing when he comes in?"
"Hmm, I dunno, how about you go get a drink."
"That's a great idea. Gah Liz, I'm glad you were here, I'll be right back. Oh hi Caleb. Oh great, you have drinks, thanks." Natalie said taking Caleb's drink out of his hand.
Lizzie laughed at Natalie, and at Caleb's face. "Thanks Caleb."
Caleb frowned at Natalie and then shook his head at Lizzie. "No problem, I'll just go get another one." He said begrudgingly but when Lizzie smiled at him he smiled back.
Natalie sat down, primped her self, and then started sipping. Just as Caleb came back Damon walked in. Natalie sat up, and pretended she hadn't even seen him , then started talking with Lizzie.
"So, what kind of slogan should we have for your posters?"
"Well, I dunno..."
Damon cleared his throat. Natalie looked up and smiled at him.
"Oh hi Damon." She said and then turned back to Lizzie as if she didn't even care. "How about something like McGuire for..."
"Hire!" Caleb said finishing Natalie's sentence for her.
Natalie frowned at him, I don't think so. Oh, I know, you know how like a while ago in history we were talking about Queen Elizabeth and what a great queen she was. And you know how Ms. Alexender called her Queen Lizzie. Well, the poster could be like, 'Queen Lizzie was great for England, and our Lizzie will be too.'"
Caleb and Damon laughed at her, but Lizzie smiled. "That's a great idea I think, but all the Other Side's might not know what we're talking about, they don't have Ms. Alexender."
"I know, but maybe their teacher calls her that too."
Lizzie nodded. "Well, we won't rule it out."
"We won't?" Caleb asked bewildered.
Lizzie gave Caleb 'the look.' "No, what do you think Damon?"
"Well," He started to say. " I think that it's very..."
But Lizzie didn't hear the rest because she was too busy looking at who had just walked in the door...
"David!" Caleb said bewildered. "What the Hell is he doing here?"
Natalie too looked over. "I don't know, I can't believe they even let him back in here."
"I, I um, well, I, I actually invited him..." Lizzie said looking over at Caleb. He looked over at her and his eyes showed his bewilderment.
"Why? I mean, after what he did to me, why?"
"Well..." Lizzie started to say, but Gordo walked over to their table.
"Uh, Lizzie, Sunday works well." He said awkwardly looking around the table. The new kid, Damon, didn't know what importance Gordo held, but Caleb and Natalie made it obvious Gordo wasn't wanted.
Caleb looked at Lizzie. "Sunday? What the Hell are you doing with him on Sunday?"
Lizzie looked down at her hands. "We have a math project we have to work on. Sunday was the only day I had available."
Caleb sighed. "That's fine." He said finally. "But just because y'all are partners, that doesn't mean you can come waltzing over here and start talking to us."
"Yeah." Natalie said. "Can't you tell you aren't wanted here?"
"Guys..." Lizzie started to say, but when she saw Caleb's face she stopped. She looked over at Gordo sympathetically. He nodded, she knew he knew this was the way it would be with her friends. He turned around and walked away just as Miranda and Ethan walked in. Lizzie looked down at Caleb's hands resting on hers. She couldn't look up, she couldn't.
