Chapter One
The New Guy
"Oh my Gosh Lizzie, who is that?" Miranda tugged on Lizzie's flowery sleeves as she stared into a crowd of people. Lizzie slapped her hand. "Probably just Ethan. Miranda stop! The shirt is new." But Miranda kept tugging. Finally Lizzie sighed and looked up. In the middle of the crowd wasn't Ethan Craft it was some tall blond guy. "Whoa. That is not Ethan." "Oh my Gosh! He is so cute, don't you think he's cute Lizzie?" Miranda was very excited, and she was still tugging. "Ok you really need to stop tugging." Miranda stopped, "He's ok." Lizzie said shrugging. "OK? He's cuter than-than-than Ethan!" It seemed hard for Miranda to say. "Where is Ethan anyway." Lizzie said dusting off her shirt. The two girls glanced around and instead of finding Ethan saw Gordo at his locker. They rushed over there and Miranda immediatly began tugging on his shirt. He turned and looked at her. "Have you guys seen--" "The new guy?" Miranda interupted. There was a smile across her whole face. Lizzie rolled her eyes. "He's really cute huh?" "Wait." He looked at her, "There's a new guy?" "Yeah!" Miranda said her voice squeaking. She grabbed Gordo's head and turned it towards the crowd. "Wait," She said, "If you weren't talking about him..." "I was talking about her," He turned Miranda's head towards another crowd, but this one was of guys and they were crowding aroud someone else. Lizzie sputtered and Miranda gasped. "She looks just like him." Lizzie said as she pointed towards the new guy. "Um, probabaly because they are twins." he said smacking Lizzie and Miranda on the head. "Anyway, her name is Heather, she's so hot!" This turned both Lizzie and Miranda's head. "Did you just use the word hot?" Lizzie said staring at Gordo. "Am I not allowed to?" He walked away carrying his books. Lizzie and Miranda just stared as Heather rushed up beside him. He carefully took her books and they walked the other way. Clearly to Heather's new class. Miranda let out a "tut." "Geez, just because some new pretty girl comes to school he'll ditch his friends." Miranda looked up and the new guy was waving her over. "Oh my gosh!" She hurried off. Lizzie was left there alone. She looked both directions her friends had gone and then walked to her own class.
