Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of this story, I merely own the situation in which they are immersed. I do wish that I owned them, as I've stated many times before that characters like these would make me a millionaire and who doesn't love money?

A/N: Well, today I came across the amazing realization that the fanfiction website isn't blocked in my school. (Our school provides students who want to be involved with a laptop that we pay a fixed amount for each month. It's supposed to 'enhance the learning environment' but it just creates more ways for me to not pay attention in class.) Seeing as this website isn't blocked, it allows me to update this more frequently than I had previously expected. Cool, huh? Thanks for the reviews, kids, keep 'em comin'.

Chapter Thirteen:

Lizzie's Viewpoint:

"Lizzie!? LIZZIE!" Miranda was now screaming into the phone. "Tell me what you think? Don't make me use your full name and you know I will!" I snapped back into reality.

"Miranda, I-I think it's great that you and Ronnie might become something." I blurted out. I wasn't really sure if that was how I felt, but if I had Gordo was there any reason why Miranda couldn't date Ronnie?

"You really think so? But… then… why did it take you so long to answer." She asked.

"I-I'm not sure." I started. "I mean, I know I'm totally over Ronnie and now that I have Gordo it should work out just fine. It's just kind of weird that you might date my ex-boyfriend."

"I see.. are you sure you're comfortable with it?"

"It might be awkward for a little bit, but I'm sure I'll be fine."

"Okay." She said and I could tell she was smiling. "Good. pause Hey, did I hear you say you 'had' Gordo?"

"Uhhh… Yeah…" I said as I blushed.

"Girl! Spill!" She said excitedly.

"Well, we went to the movies… and held hands the entire time…"

"Awwww!" She gushed.

"And, we kissed. He asked me out on the way back home and I said yes."

"Wow, that's great!" She said. "Wait, you kissed!? Whoa!" I laughed.

"Yeah.." I said sheepishly.

"So, what's it like to kiss your best friend?" She joked.

"Ugh! Shut up! You're the one who encouraged me anyways!"

"I know, I'm just joking around." She replied. "Seriously, I'm happy for you. This is going to work out great. I mean once you're used to, hopefully, me and Ronnie, we can double date!"

"Yeah!" I said, still feeling bothered by the thought of her and Ronnie. Something really didn't seem right, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I then heard my mom call me down for dinner. "Hey, Miranda… my mom just called me for dinner, so I've gotta peace."

"Okay, talk to you later, then!" She said. I then hung up and went for dinner. I sat down at the table and noticed my dad smiling at me really weirdly.

"What?" I said impatiently.

"So, you and Gordo?" He asked and winked.

"Ugh! Mom!" I whined.

"I'm sorry, Honey." She laughed, "but he's my husband, how could I not tell him?"

"Ewwww, you're best friend as your boyfriend? Talk about GROSS!" Matt said.

"Shut up, worm. I'll have you know that Gordo is a great boyfriend and it's none of your business anyways." I shot back at him.

"So, is he a good kisser!?" Matt teased as he made kissing noises.

"Could we not talk about my love life at the dinner table?" I asked.

"Okay, okay." My mom began. "Matt, leave your sister alone."

A/N: Well, that's all for now. It's my first integration of Matt into the story. I just wanted to let you guys know that he's only going to serve as a background character. I have nothing against Matt; I just can't fit him into the story as anything other than the occasional insult towards Lizzie.

And, by 'occasional' I really mean 'once in a blue moon'. Sorry if that upsets anyone.
