A few days went by, and early each morning the three amigos would
catch an early breakfast. Lizzie said that it was just going to be her and
Gordo to Matt, because she knew that he would keep the secret a lot better.
Lizzie couldn't be caught out because of being grounded. Either way, Lizzie
and Gordo made sure that these few couple of morning, were dedicated to
making Miranda feel special.
Miranda was so happy to see her two best friends caring about her so much. She no longer felt like the third wheel. Sure everyone and a while Lizzie and Gordo would start making kissy faces at one another, but this made Miranda laugh more than it did upset her.
"So Miranda. I hope you plan on going to the dance." Said Lizzie.
"Yeah I was." Said Miranda, lowering her eyes to the table.
"But?"
"But I don't have anyone to go with."
Miranda kept her head lowered.
"Miranda! You will have us. And I'm sure you'll meet a cute boy there."
"Do you think Tudgemen will be there?"
Lizzie and Gordo laughed, and then nodded. Miranda let out a small squeal, and a big smile overtook her face. She couldn't wait to go to the dance. She had, had enough of herself. She was going to ask Tudgemen to dance, despite what any of the students, even Kate, said. Lizzie looked over at the clock.
"Oh my gosh! I have to go. Bye Miranda. Bye Gordo." Said Lizzie, kissing Gordo softly on the lips before darting out of the café.
"Awwwwww!" Said Miranda, smiling at Gordo.
Miranda saw Gordo blush. She giggled and then messed up his hair. Well, she messed it up even more than it usually was anyway.
Friday finally came, and Miranda searched her closet for the perfect thing to wear. She heard the phone ring after she was ready, and it was Lizzie.
"You ready to go Miranda?" Asked Lizzie.
"Yeah! I'll meet you at your house." Said Miranda.
"Ok, I'll see you there. Gotta go. I have to call Gordo."
Miranda giggled, "Ok Lizzie. Bye."
She hung up the phone, and made her way to Lizzie's house. She got there and knocked on the door. Lizzie let her in. They waited on the couch watching TV, until the doorbell rang. Lizzie started to run for the door, knowing it was Gordo. Miranda stopped her though.
"Miranda what are you doing?" Asked Lizzie.
"Ugh. Lizzie, you have to make a grand entrance for your man!" Said Miranda.
"What do you mean?"
"Look, go up the stairs, and when I say so, slowly make your way down."
"Miranda, I don't really see-"
"Just humor me, ok?"
Lizzie nodded, and walked upstairs. The doorbell rang again, and Miranda answered. She looked at Gordo, who looked, well, handsome. Cute even. His hair was slicked back, without the usual messy curls that plague his head.
"Hey Miranda. You look nice." Said Gordo.
"Hee hee! Thanks."
"Um. Where is Lizzie?"
Miranda pulled Gordo in and stood him in front of the stair case.
"Ok Lizzie! You can come down now."
Miranda watched as Gordo's jaw seemed to drop as he watched Lizzie stride down the stairs. Her golden hair shimmered, as did her dress.
"W-Wow. Lizzie, you look, um, absolutely beautiful." Said Gordo, his facing blushing.
Lizzie also blushed as she looked at Gordo. "Thanks Gordo! You look cute too!"
Miranda rolled her eyes and then grabbed both of them.
"Come on, come on, we are going to be late!" Said Miranda, suddenly really impatient.
Gordo and Lizzie laughed, and then they headed to the McGuire family van. It skidded out of the drive way.
They got to the dance, and the three of them stood together, Lizzie and Gordo's hands entwined. Miranda looked around. She saw Kate and Ethan talking over by the punch bowl, Kate getting irritated. She then noticed Tudgemen over by the wall. He was so cute. Just then, Ethan came walking over to the group.
"Hey Gordo. Hey Lizzie. You guys here together?" Said Gordo.
Lizzie simply nodded and kissed Gordo on the cheek. Ethan than looked at Miranda.
"Hey there Mariana."
Miranda too, didn't say anything, she simply blushed, and waved at Ethan, a sweet smile on her face.
She watched Ethan walk away. Cute, but dumb as a brick. Miranda wasn't THAT hard of a name to remember. She then got her eyes transfixed on Tudgemen again. Lizzie and Gordo noticed her staring, and then pushed her.
"Go ask him to dance stupid!" Said Lizzie.
"I-I-I don't know if I can. What if he doesn't like me?"
"He will like you."
Miranda opened her mouth to say something else, but before she had the chance, she heard the doors of the gym slam open. She turned around quickly and saw Kate get hit in the head by one of the two large men. Then, one of the men ran over and pushed Miranda out of the way, and grabbed Lizzie. Gordo tried to stop him, but the other man grabbed him, and didn't let go. The man holding Lizzie suddenly pushed her away, and then pointed his gun right at Lizzie's face. Gordo struggled to free himself, but to no avail. Miranda watched in disbelief as to what was happening. She was about to move to do something, but before she could come up with any rescue attempt, the man with the gun started yelling.
"Any of you little punks takes one step closer, I'll blow her face off!" Yelled the man.
Miranda looked over and saw Gordo trying desperately to get out of the mans grip. In doing so, his foot briefly touched the ground.
"That sure looked like a step closer to me!" Said the man.
Miranda watched in horror as the man pulled the trigger on the gun that was pointed directly at Lizzie's face.
