            Lizzie could barely open her eyes on Friday morning, the day of the carnival, and she would be going alone. She almost, almost, played sick, but decided against it, realizing she would have to face it all sooner or later. Lizzie was once again single; she couldn't believe the night she had had. Nate, the one she thought her loved had told her how he really felt about her. She was nothing but a stupid insignificant conquest. Lizzie touched the side of her face; it was crusty from where she had cried herself to sleep. She slowly got out of bed and jumped in the shower. The water was freezing, she thought, as she washed her hair with her coconut shampoo. She stepped out of the shower and quickly got dressed. Last night she had woken up in the middle of the night and called Miranda. She had told her everything

            "I knew he was to perfect!" She practically yelled. "Believe me, if killing weren't illegal, he would be dead now" Miranda had told her.

Lizzie felt consoled by her friend, she even felt a little better. Nate had broken her heart, but he hadn't gotten, and never would, get the one thing he wanted from her the whole time. Her virginity. At least she had a shred of dignity. Miranda met her at the door with a big hug. She walked Lizzie to school with her arm around her shoulder the whole time. When they arrived at school, she saw Nate with a slutty looking red head. She had the waist the size of a toothpick!

            "Yea, I almost wrecked my car, but it was all ok, when I got out of the car a couple of branches slashed me on the chin" He was talking to his buddies, motioning to his three slashes in his chin, the one's Lizzie had given him. She lifted her head and walked right past him. She met his eyes; he looked at her with a hateful scorn, and kissed Zoey on the lips. Lizzie shuddered, and walked to her locker.

            "If you need me today, you know where to find me" Miranda told her smiling. "Cheer up, it isn't the end of the world... you still have me... and Gordo" She added and pointed to Gordo who was approaching his locker. Lizzie recognized the hint in Miranda's voice. She couldn't help but blush, when she thought of the kiss they had shared, at Nate's house.

            "Hey Gordo..." She addressed him nonchalantly.

            "Hey Lizzie, whats up?" He asked her. She couldn't help but stared at his lips as he talked. They were... How could she put it...? Perfect. "Lizzie..." Oh my God, stop staring Lizzie. She coaxed herself.

            "Oh... uh nothing" She told him

            "Well then, come on" He grabbed her elbow shyly and pulled her into homeroom. Get a grip Lizzie, seriously.

            By the end of the day, Lizzie was actually looking forward to the carnival, as she stepped outside and headed home, planning on going to the park at 5, when it started. She actually felt happy. Screw Nate. He is a stupid bastard and I don't need him. All I need is me. Well, and maybe Miranda, of course. And Gordo doesn't hurt. And my parents buy me food and clothes and stuff. Ok... All I need is me, and those other people.  Yea. She opened her front door, and walked inside. Home sweet home. Lizzie ate something and slipped into her favorite dress. A baby blue light one, with spaghetti straps. Let Nate know what he was loosing, well lost. And if she attracted some wanted attention then so be it. She stepped into her white flip flops and headed to the park. As she walked she chanted to herself I will have fun. I will have fun. I will have fun. And that's just what she intended to do.
