[A/N]: Sorry I haven't updated in a long time. Anyways… After this chapter, my mind went blank. I have no clue where this story is going so bare with me. I think in order to get a chapter out I have to devote all my time to this story. I'm afraid to do that because if no one is reading it, I'll just be wasting my time. So please review so I'll know if I should devote all my time to this story.

-Chapter 3-

'So, Lizzie doesn't want me as a friend, wishes she was Kate's double, and has a crush on the one guy that she's not supposed to like.'

Miranda stretched out on her bed still dumbfounded by what she read in Lizzie's diary, writing in her own diary that she had just started a few minutes ago.

'Why did I have to read that dumb thing anyways? But, how could she feel that way after everything we've been through? After all the mean things Kate has done to her and said to her? How did she have the nerve to even write something like that down? I'm just disappointed in the fact that my best friend that I've known for like ever, doesn't want to be my best friend anymore. I know its true that when most people hit Jr. High, they start to change and have different thoughts, but… but Lizzie… she's the type that wouldn't choose anything over her friends or even disown them to better herself, or what she thinks will better herself. Its just so hard to believe. I guess I don't truly know my best friend.'

The next morning Miranda still hadn't forgotten the hurtful things she read in Lizzie's diary the day before. She walked down the halls of Hillridge Jr. High looking for Gordo, the only true friend she had left. She spotted him talking to Lizzie by his locker. At the time she didn't want to be around Lizzie, but had to because she didn't want her to get suspicious and wonder why she was acting the way she was. She couldn't tell her that she was mad at her because she was being noisy and read her thoughts that she placed in that small pink book oh hers; She would hate her even more than she did now.

As she walked closer to where Lizzie and Gordo stood she hesitated whether or not she should stop and talk with them. She slightly passed them up about an inch when Lizzie spotted her and shouted, "Hey, Miranda!" Motioning her hand for her to come over there. Miranda paused and stood there wishing that Lizzie wouldn't have seen her. Taking a deep breath and then putting on a smile, she turned around and walked towards them.

"Oh, hey guys." She acted like everything was fine… like she didn't know Lizzie didn't want to be her friend… like she didn't know Lizzie liked Gordo… like she hadn't read the diary in the first place.

"You almost passed us up." Lizzie smiled as she talked. Miranda stood there for a second in silence until she realized Lizzie was waiting for her to talk.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry about that; I didn't see you guys." She told a small lie. "So, whats up?"

"Oh my god, you would not believe how hot Ethan looked today!" She squealed then continued. Gordo rolled his eyes like he always did when Miranda and Lizzie began to talk 'girl talk'.

"What happened to Danny Kessler? Weren't you two like obsessed with him a week ago?" Lizzie looked at Gordo like he was clueless.

"That was before we saw Ethan." Lizzie took in a deep breathe and started day dreaming after she said his name.

Meanwhile, Miranda was in her own little world. She stared at Lizzie in complete hatred not realizing what she was doing. Gordo noticed this while Lizzie continue to run off at the mouth about Ethan Kraft. He lightly tapped her on her lower arm and tilted his head up then down indicating for her to tell him whats wrong. She looked up at this and then shook her head nothing. Gordo gave her a look telling her he knew that wasn't the truth. Miranda put on a smile and looked up at Lizzie ignoring Gordo's sign language.

Lizzie finally took a brake from Ethan "Miranda, wanna come to the restroom with me before the bell rings?"

"Miranda smiled, "I think I'll pass."

"Okay, I'll meet you guys in first period." She walked towards the restrooms. Once the coast was clear, Gordo looked over at Miranda.

"What was that about?"

"What was what about?"

"That look you were giving Lizzie."

"What look? I wasn't giving her a look."

"Miranda, yes you were.; that was a look to kill." She continued to play stupid.

"I don't know what you're talking about.." She started to walk to first period.

"Is everything okay between the two of you?" Gordo looked concerned.

"Yes, everything is fine." Miranda rolled her eyes and walked faster while Gordo followed behind trying to keep up.

"Did you guys get into a fight yesterday?" He was determined to find out what was wrong with her.

"No! Nothing happened." There was no way she was telling him anything. She entered her first period class as Gordo stood out in the hall.

"This must be a girl thing." He whispered to himself and shook his head.
