A/N: Well, I got more responses than I thought (considering I've been
on spring break) so I guess I'll continue on (sorry, Cara). I've started
getting into this one-shot thing, so look for me actually writing something
out of the category of Lizzie McGuire. Not far off, though. I have a couple
Harry Potter ones, but as everyone knows from my complaining, no one read
them. Anyway, a quick round of thank you before we get going!
Kris: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you thought it was "neat"; I wasn't sure what everyone's reaction would be. Keep in mind I'm writing this next chapter under the influence of peanut butter ice cream and a swollen lip. Thanks again!
Katie: Hip name. That's my sister's name. Anyway, thanks a bunch! I hope I can write at least a little, as it is my entire life and if I could then I would have to find a new obsession. Maybe fishing.. not too much of that in DC. Well, do continue on!
Starcraze: hello again. I was hoping it was an interesting idea. I was watching that episode and I was thinking about how Ronnie is really portrayed as a jerk for no reason and how sad that is. Well, anyway, MUCHO thanks!
Anisky: Sorry, dude! As this chapter presents the problem, it couldn't happen. Well, it could, but that's not how I operate. I'll try to end it on a pleasant note for you. Thanks for getting involved though!
Gordoluvr4life8988: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. That was my hope. See you around!
Cara: Sorry about that, but I decided to continue. You don't have to read this if you don't want to. I'm glad you liked chapter one though. Thanks a lot!
LaLaBunny: Of course I'll read your story! No one should have only 2 reviews! That always sucks. I'll see if I can get other people to read it.. HEY! EVERYONE! SISTERHOOD! READ LALABUNNY'S STORY; IF YOU ONLY KNEW. I'M SURE IT'S GREAT, AND SHE'S COOL BECAUSE SHE REVIEWED ME!!!! ::clears throat:: that good? I love twists. Anyway, thanks a lot of reviewing!!
Pixie: Thanks! Speaking of reading stories, didn't you ask me to read yours once in like Secluded and Obscured but I had already finished the story so I couldn't say anything to you? I think so. Here it is!
Baby-Angel aka Lala: Hello, question lovie. I feel bad for Ronnie too, though he didn't handle it very well. Updating right now..SEE?
Courtney: Gordo's, huh? That's an interesting thought. I'll consider it, okay? I like that. Gordo's too..hm..
On with it!
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
I've done a lot of waiting in my life. Waiting for the sun to rise, waiting for attention, waiting for my bagel to toast, waiting for the bus... patience doesn't come easy for me. Right now, I used to wait for my best friend's wedding. Now I dread it, as I am waiting for life to sweep me up.
I'm not a particularly interesting person. I go to school, get decent grades, fake a few smiles, and get on with it. My world revolves around my friends. I never get the grade, the guy, or the goods. I'm just Miranda. Why bother?
The question came up from my view behind the bookshelf. I watched him comfort her in a way he never would me. I watched him watch her cry. I watched him hand her the big cookie I had been eyeing all lunch. It couldn't be true. Gordo in love with Lizzie?!
Well, DUH. Some things are blatantly obvious. But almost acting on it? I felt my heart melt. Why couldn't he be that way with me? Why did I feel such a surge of jealously to Lizzie? I sunk down, my heart sinking too. Why did Ronnie have to dump her? Why was he such a jerk to let her get want she wanted and not even know it? WHY?
Perfect for each other. That was it. It was destined for Lizzie and Gordo to be together. They were born to be in each other's arms. I couldn't change that. I couldn't fight something that was meant to be. Just let it go, I thought furiously. Let go.
But I couldn't. you can't drop your heart on the ground without dropping your head as well. I dully listening to their conversation, feeling the words bring them closer together. I stood up quickly, feeling my cue. Enter Miranda. The best friend... and nothing more. Ever. I wiped my tears and put on a smile. I wasn't much of an actress at first, but I was growing used to it.
Just let things be simple again. Let me be a simple person. I don't need emotions. I don't need thoughts. I just need air. I just need to breathe.
I wrapped my arm around a tearful Lizzie. What are YOU crying for? You have everything you could possibly need. Yeah, some guy dumped you. But you have Mr. Right before your very eyes! Oh, if only.. no.
I'll just have to wait. I'll just have to wait for the world to start spinning again. I'll have to try to keep my selfishness to myself and be patient.
Why can't I just wait.
