Chapter 7:

"Gordo, go distract her," Lizzie whispered.

"How?" Gordo asked.

"You think of that part!" Lizie rushed.

*I'm so dead, someone save me!!* Gordo walked into the hallway, and halted Mrs.McGuire. "I'm just teaching Lizzie how to hacky-sack," Gordo explained.

"Well, that's nice, but if you'll excuse me Gordo," Mrs.McGuire said, trying to get past Gordo.

Gordo blocked her way. "Look Mrs.G," Gordo said, bouncing his hacky-sack back and forth on his feet.

"Wow, that's really good," Mr.G said, now a bit suspicious.

***********************************************

Lizzie grabbed the cake and the other things and stuck them quickly into the cupboard below. *I'm so smart* It was just in time, Lizzie saw Gordo's panicked expression, and Mrs.G walked in. "Isn't it nice of Gordo to show you his tricks?" Mrs.G said, "Now excuse me Lizzie, I need something in the cupboard".

"NO!" Lizzie exclaimed, "I mean, I have a surprise for you later, you can't look in there, I'll get you whatever you need".

"Wow, that surprise must be important to make you do housework, now what do you want?" Mrs.G asked, suspicously.

"Nothing mom! just trying to help around the house more," Lizzie prompted.

"Well ok, hand me the watering can down there, I need to water the plants," Mrs.G said.

Lizzie handed her mother the watering can and Mrs.G was gone a minute later. *PHEWW!* "That was too close for comfort," Lizzie said, wiping her forehead.

Lizzie took the cake out from under the cupboard and quickly put her name in Miranda's place. She stuck it back in the fridge and sighed with relief. "Well, that went well," Gordo decided.

"Yeah, I wonder how Miranda is doing," Lizzie thought out loud.

***********************************************

Miranda sat next to Matt on the two person swing in the park. "So, Miranda, what do you like in a boy?" Matt asked, romanticly.

"Well..." Miranda started.

But she didn't get to finish, as Matt's lips came closer to her own. She panicked, what should she do? let him do it, or run away!!!
