Chapter 2: Catching Up
"So, you have to tell me, how is life in a coed dorm?" asked Lizzie, as she closed her door behind her.
"What do you mean?" asked Miranda, slyly.
"I mean, you live in a dorm suite with 3 guys!" exclaimed Lizzie. "You had to have hooked up with one of them since I last saw you!"
"Well, sorry to disappoint you Lizzie dear, but two out of three are gay! It is a theater school!" explained Miranda.
"So! What about the other one?" asked Lizzie.
"Define hooked up." responded Miranda.
"I knew it!!" exclaimed Lizzie.
"Well, I only went out with him twice. His name is Eric, and he's a nice boy." She informed her. "He kissed me goodnight on our second date."
"Wow. I have to congratulate you on your self restraint." Said Lizzie.
"Thanks. And don't say anything about the coed part. My parents don't know yet." She pleaded.
"Done." Replied Lizzie.
"Thanks. So what about you!? How's Brian? Or whatever his name is." Asked Miranda. "Ryan." Lizzie corrected. "Eh, I broke up with him."
"Why?" asked Miranda. "That picture you sent me of him was cute."
"Yeah, but there wasn't much beyond looks. Think of Ethan Craft, only stupider. We didn't click." She replied.
"I see." Said Miranda. "Do you think Gordo has a girlfriend?"
"Why?" asked Lizzie. "Would you be jealous?"
"Of Gordo's girlfriend? Are you out of your mind!" exclaimed Miranda.
"Well, why are you asking?" remarked Lizzie.
"I don't know. I mean, we used to know everything about him, now all I get is a few emails a week. And all he talks about are the films he's working on." Miranda replied.
"Well, he hasn't said anything to me." Answered Lizzie. "But remember, Gordo doesn't have the best track record when it comes to letting us know about relationships."
"You've got a point." Miranda conceded. "Remember when we saw him and Brooke..kissing!"
"Oh my gosh! I had forgotten about that!" Lizzie screamed.
"Me too, luckily." Replied Miranda. "That's one mental image I don't need to relive."
"Amen!" replied Lizzie.
The two girls chatted and laughed for a few more minutes. Lizzie felt like she was back in middle school. Back when her biggest problems were Kate Saunders, getting Ethan to notice her, and trying to avoid that geek, Tudgeman. Just then, Lizzie's mom called them down to dinner.
"Miranda! Lizzie! Dinner!" called Jo.
"Coming Mom!" replied Lizzie, as she and Miranda headed down the hall to the stairs.
"Mom, these fajitas are the best food I have ever tasted!" exclaimed Lizzie, as she shoved another tortilla filled with chicken into her mouth.
"Jeez Lizzie, they're just plain old fajitas. Mom makes them all the time." Said Matt.
"Believe me Matt, when you get to college, you'll learn to appreciate the little things in life." Explained Miranda.
"Yeah," agreed Lizzie, "like food you can actually identify."
They all laughed at that remark. Lizzie looked around at her smiling family. It was like she never left, except better. She and Matt weren't fighting, Mom wasn't yelling at her for not doing her homework, and they were all behaving as adults.
"So girls, what's the plan for tomorrow?" asked Mrs. McGuire.
"Well, Miranda's going to sleep over here if that's ok." Explained Lizzie.
"You know you're always welcome here Miranda!" said Jo.
"Thanks!" replied Miranda.
"Anyway, Gordo's flight is 7:00 AM his time, which is like 4:00 here. I think he gets in at about 11:00 our time." Reasoned Lizzie.
"Yeah. I think we'll go out to breakfast and then pick him up at the airport." Said Miranda.
"Sounds good girls." Replied Sam.
"Do you want me to wake you up around 8:00?" asked Jo.
"That'd be fine Mom." Said Lizzie.
"Ok!" she answered. "Now, for dessert, I made your favorite!"
"Chocolate chip cookie pie!" exclaimed Lizzie.
"You bet. Who wants ice cream with there's?" asked Jo, as she began to clear the table. Later that night, Lizzie lie awake, thinking about the next day. While she was excited about seeing her other best friend, she was a little anxious. New York was far away, and it could change people. Would Gordo return as a completely different person?
"Lizzie!" whispered Miranda, from the trundle bed she was sleeping on. "Are you awake?"
"You too huh?" remarked Lizzie, as she sat up.
"I can't sleep." Miranda complained.
"Me either." Replied Lizzie. "What's on your mind?"
"Honestly? I'm worried about seeing Gordo tomorrow." She answered.
"Me too." admitted Lizzie.
"I mean, what if he comes back all snobby and New Yorkish. We haven't seen him since December!" exclaimed Miranda.
"I know what you mean. I've talked to him and all, but it's different from having to face him in person." Said Lizzie.
"Will you listen to us! We're worried that our best friend has moved on from us! Lizzie, this is Gordo! You've known him since you were in diapers! You don't think he changed that much in 4 months, do you?" asked Miranda, sheepishly.
"I don't know." Replied Lizzie. "But I guess we'll find out tomorrow."
TBC!
A/N: It may seem to be going that way, but Gordo isn't necessarily the conflict in this story! To find out what is, keep reviewing and I'll keep writing! Thanks!
