***REMEMBER HIT F5 TO REFRESH!!***

It was a week before the dance and Miranda and Lizzie were at the mall shopping for homecoming dresses.

"How's this one?" Miranda asked

Miranda had held up a bright red dress that went perfectly with her hair. It would look great on her.

"I love it! It is so you. You should try it on." Lizzie told her

As Miranda went to try on the dress, Lizzie browsed through the racks of dresses. She spotted a light pink dress. It was made of some kind of silk and was plain, but all the same very sexy. She held it up. It had a low cut back and spaghetti straps. It was perfect. Lizzie felt like she needed to look extra good. It was going to be her first homecoming dance. She didn't have a date yet and was just planning to go with Gordo. But she was almost positive Nate was going to ask her. They had gotten very close over the past week, he always put his arm around her waist or her shoulders and every time they met each other he gave her a hug. She never understood what older girls had meant when they said "Yea, we are talking, not dating yet." But now she did, she felt like her and Nate were talking, she really liked him a lot. Just then Miranda came out of the dressing room. She looked gorgeous!

"Oh my gosh, you look beautiful!" Lizzie said stunned. The dress totally brought out Miranda's eyes and her slightly dark skin. It would be perfect for the dance.

"You should totally get that one. What do you think of this one?" Lizzie held up the light pink slip dress. Miranda told her she thought is was a pretty dress, so Lizzie went to go try it on. When she came out she was so surprised at what she looked like, she had to do a double take. It made her look hot, literally, she looked about 4 years older and very sophisticated, without even asking Miranda's opinion she knew she was going to get it. Miranda told her she looked very good in that dress and if she didn't get it she was making a big mistake.

"I think Nate will like that dress, very much." Miranda commented

"Miranda, Nate has not asked me yet. I do not even know if he will. I will probably end up going with Gordo. Do you think he will like the dress?" Lizzie asked

"I am sure he would like any dress you wore, what living breathing male wouldn't like that dress? Its tre hot" Miranda told her, using her French words, once again.

As they went to pay for their dresses, Lizzie saw a cute silver necklace that was on sale and she bought and paid for both of them and they left the store.

"I am absolutely famished, I need to get something to eat" Miranda told her

"Ok, we can head to the food court." Lizzie asked

"Yea ok cool! I am in the mood for some chicken; let's head to "Chikin Wang on a Strang" Miranda suggested. The hip new chicken place located in the heart of the food court. As they walked over they spotted a group of sophomore boys sitting in the center of the food court. Among them were Nate, and Shane. Miranda had clued Lizzie in on the kiss with Shane and now Shane was officially Miranda's boyfriend.

"Hey babe." Shane got up spotting her. He walked over to Miranda and kissed her on the cheek. "Why don't you come sit with us?"

"Is that ok with you Lizzie?" Miranda asked

"Oh yea that's cool" Lizzie smiled

They got there food, and went over to sit down. Nate who had not spotted Lizzie before that got up, pulled out Lizzie's chair for her, giving her a hug before she sat down.

"Hey Elizabeth, what did you buy?" Nate loved to call her Elizabeth, it was a cute thing and she usually hated the name. But it sounded good when he said it.

"Oh, just a homecoming dress and some stuff to go with it" Lizzie told him

Nate leaned over and whispered something to her.

"I need to talk to you about homecoming late ok?" His breathe on her neck put her into a state of shock and all she could do was nod and smile.

After they ate there lunch they said goodbye to the boys. Miranda shared a romantic kiss with Shane before they left. Lizzie couldn't help but wish she had someone for her, like Miranda did. Her heart fluttered at the thought of Nate. She might soon enough she though. She couldn't wait till school on Monday; she hoped Nate would finally ask her to homecoming, and she wanted to tell Gordo she couldn't go with him so he would have enough time to find a date.  He shouldn't be that upset, so it would be the first year they went to a dance with dates. He could ask Charissa. Thinking of Charissa, Lizzie uncontrollably hated her. There was just something about her that annoyed her. She always threw herself all over Gordo. That shouldn't have bothered her, it did though when she thought about it, she realized. The girl was a plain out ho; she has had like 2389021 boyfriends already. Word was she wasn't a virgin and she also slept with every boyfriend she ever had. Those relationships were none of her business, but Lizzie knew the way girls worked. She new Charissa's next target was Gordo. But if that was the kind of girl Gordo wanted, then so be it, besides it obviously made him happy. He will probably be relieved he doesn't have to go with me, Lizzie thought sadly. Yea going to the homecoming dance with your best friend is really cool. Why was she dwelling on it? She shouldn't be. I guess I will have to wait and see what happens on Monday then, Lizzie thought.
