My World

Chapter 5 When You Believe

Gordo's dad knocked on the door, while Miranda and Lizzie are brushing their teeth in the now open bathroom.

"Are you guys going to bed right now? I thought you might want to watch a movie . . . " His dad asked suspiciously.

"A movie sounds great!" Miranda said.

Lizzie had an idea, "Which one, though?"

"How about this one?" Gordo asked as he held out the 'Prince of Egypt.'

"Your allowed to watch that? I didn't know that-It's a favorite movie of Miranda and me." Lizzie said, amazingly. She had wondered if he was allowed because he was Jewish and she wasn't quite sure what they believed.

His mother looked pleased that Lizzie remembered he was Jewish and answered, soothingly, "Yes, I watched it first. He watches that movie all the time." Gordo's mother was glad her son finally found someone who really cared about him.

Miranda stood up, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" She squealed.

As they all sat on the big couch, Gordo's dad made popcorn while his wife put in the movie. Matt was sitting on the edge beside Miranda;Lizzie had Miranda on one side of her and Gordo on the other side. Well, at least Gordo wasn't in the middle of the two girls again. The girls were doing fine and watching the movie, sometimes getting teary-eyed, until the scene with Moses accidentally killing a man and running from Egypt. That's when the girls suprised both of the guys and hid their faces in their tee-shirts, just to see their reactions. Soon after, the song "Through Heaven's Eyes" came on and the girls danced with each other, like the charatacters in the movie. Unfortunately, Matt fell asleep after he watched Miranda dance and he looked happy to be sleeping with the smile plastered on his face. Miranda fell asleep, because of dancing so much, after watching the song "Playing with the Big Boys." Lizzie stayed awake longer than Miranda so that she could watch the movie. She gave in to the sleep tugging at her eyes after the song "When You Believe" near the end of the movie. Lizzie had tried to hide her face from the soldiers running after the Hebrews, and fell asleep againgst Gordo's chest, hands curled in the fabric. Gordo watched the entire movie, seeing Moses get the ten commandments was his favorite part. Gordo put the tape on rewind with the remote when it was done. He wondered how he had payed attention to a movie he had seen thousands of times with beautiful, delicate hands on his chest. He put his arm around her to keep her warm and kissed her on the forehead. He then, eventually, went to sleep.

Matt and Miranda's entanglement was very strange to anyone who passed by. Matt looked goofy-happy with his arm around her waist;Miranda looked angelic with her ear to his heart, listening for the strong, steady beat.
