The rest of the school day was incredibly awkward. It wasn't possible for Gordo and I to
avoid each other physically, since we have all our classes together and he's my best friend. So we
resorted to just pretending like the days' earlier events had never happened. It felt so good to
finally be home and just think about things on my comfortable bed with my familiar stuffed
animals. Unfortunately, Mom intercepted me in the process.
"Honey what's bothering you?" Mom asked. Why do moms always have to know when
something's up?
"Nothing, mom. Please just leave me alone," I responded, avoiding eye contact.
"Okay Lizzie, but you do know I'm here for you, right?" Mom reassured me.
"Yeah, thanks," I mumbled and stomped up the stairs to the safety of my bedroom. I
flopped on my light green and blue patterned comforter, and heard the sound of a buddy signing
on my computer. It was Miranda! Just the person I need to talk to. Or is it? I can't believe
Miranda's feelings about this never occurred me. An IM came up.
RandaSingz55: Hey Lizzie!
Lizzeles22: hey!
RandaSingz55: how have u been? How's school?
Lizzeles22: umm.. Lets just say its been...interesting
Lizzeles22: How's Mexico?
RandaSingz55: Don't think u can get off the hook this easily, McGuire. What do u mean
"interesting?"
Lizzeles22: Well, its kind of a long story, but what would you do if an enemy of yours told you
that your friend liked you and you look back and notice that maybe they're right. Then you want
to do something about it so kiss him on the cheek?
RandaSingz55: whoa whoa whoa slow down! You lost me there.
RandaSingz55: Oh, I get it! How could I be so stupid?
Lizzeles22: you do?
RandaSingz55: Yup! I always knew you and Ronnie would get back together. Well I g2g! Lylas!!
RandaSingz55 signed off at 3:56pm
Lizzie stared at the screen. She thinks I'm back together with Ronnie? Wow, she really
has been gone a long time. Just then, the sound of a buddy signing on played again.
