Miranda pulled on her shirt. "Hey, Matt, can you hand me my purse?"
Matt picked it up off the floor, and tossed it to her. She didn't catch it. It crashed to the floor, all its contents spilling everywhere.
"Shit," Miranda said. She gathered them up quickly as she heard the front door slam downstairs. She kissed Matt on the cheek. "Call me later, baby, okay?" She paused. "...I love you," she said, trying out the words, and liking them. She kissed him again, a litte longer this time, then climbed out the window.
Just in time. Lizzie flung open Matt's door. "Matt, where are Mom and-" She stopped, sniffing the air. A slow smile spread across her face. "Oh, my God, you are in so much trouble. You have had a girl in here." She sniffed around, until she found Miranda's bottle of Love Spell that had rolled a little bit under Matt's bed. The top had come loose, and it was leaking everywhere. Lizzie laughed, a bit evilly. "Oh, you are so busted, Matt."
Matt scowled. "You are so immature. You're just mad cuz you can't get laid, Lizzie-bob Virginpants." He snatched the bottle of Love Spell out of her hands.
Lizzie held up her hand. "Hello, Loser-boy! I'm engaged! If Gordo and I wanted to have sex, we would. But I prefer waiting until after the wedding, thank you very much!" She grabbed the bottle of Love Spell. "I'm keeping this unless you want me to tell Mom and Dad. This stuff is like ten bucks..."

Kate rolled out of bed, still wrapped in all her sheets. "I do not feel like going to school today," she said to no one in particular. She got up and went to her closet. All those gorgeous, expensive clothes...soon none of them were fit. Thank God for stylish maternity stores.
She chose a cute denim skirt with a slit up the front and a light, baby blue tee. She pulled her hair up into a full ponytail, and applied only a little make-up.
She had just grabbed her keys when she repeated what she said earlier. "I do not feel like going to school today."
So she didn't.
She drove with the top down, the wind whipping her ponytail around. She drove for what seemed like forever, until she got to a mall about two hours away from Hillridge, in a place called Lowington. Ethan's grandmother lived here. He had gone up to visit her and taken Kate with him. It had been so much fun...in this mall, right on a bench outside of Build-A-Bear Workshop, Kate and Ethan had shared their first kiss.
She remembered it distinctly. They had both gone off by themself for awhile. Kate had just finished a smoothie, and she sat down on the bench. She had been watching some people, when all the sudden she heard Ethan's voice. "I made you this."
Kate turned around to be greeted by a big stuffed bear with hearts all over it, dressed in a cupid's outfit. (It had been the day before Valentine's Day) When you squeezed its hand, it said, "I Love You." Ethan might not have been very bright, but he could be terribly romantic. And she kissed him for that.
"I made you this."
Kate looked up in surprise to see Ethan holding a brown bear dressed up like a baby. "I thought...maybe you could give it to the baby."
This was the moment Kate should have kissed him. But she didn't.
"Ethan," she said, "What are you doing, stalking me?!" She took a deep breath. "Sorry. Thanks for the bear." She took it from him, their hands briefly touching. She then turned to go back to her car.
"Kate, what happened to us?"
Kate stopped. "Ethan Craft, you're not a genius, but you're not even that dumb. You KNOW what happened to us. I happened to us. I made bad decisions and now things can never be the same..."
Ethan grabbed her. "Kate...if I'm willing to take you back, give you a second chance...and you want to be back with me...shouldn't that be all that matters? Shouldn't you stop punishing yourself for something I already forgave you for?"
Kate stared at him, shaking her head. "When the hell did you get so smart?" And she kissed him.

"Could you two stop making out long enough to tell me where the chips are?"
Lizzie rolled her eyes as she pulled away from Gordo. "They're in the pantry, dorkbreath. And you're one to be talking."
"What do you mean?" Gordo asked.
Lizzie giggled. "Oh, he had a girl up in his room this afternoon. I think he snuck her out the window."
Matt blushed, getting out the chips. "Lizzie, can tou keep my private life...um...private?"
Lizzie just jabbered away. Suddenly the phone rang. "Its for me!" Matt said quickly.
Lizzie looked at the Caller I.D. box. "Is not. It's Miranda." She picked it up. "Hey Miranda...what? You...want to talk to Matt? ...okay..."
Matt grabbed the phone, and ran upstairs. "What was up with that?" asked Gordo.
Lizzie shrugged. "I don't know, but I'm gonna find out..."

Short chapter, but this is the second one in ONE DAY! So be VERY pleased!
