Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Lizzie McGuire characters except Byron.

Author's note: Lizzie is talking to herself in this chapter. Also it mentions specific things in her room as well as in her life, I have no idea if they exist - actually I believe they don't. This is also a bridge to the next chapter(s) - so it is very short.

"This is so weird; everything I say seems to upset Miranda." Lizzie lay down on her bed and looked up at her ceiling. "If I were a guy, I'd blame it on PMS. Miranda never acts like this though, PMS or not."

"I remember when we were little and we used to count the stars on the ceiling. 28. My dad told me that was when I could start dating." She laughed despite the fact that she was 5 when her dad told her that.

"More like 12. Now I'm dating Gordo. I first found out he liked me and I should have told him I liked him too instead of pretending I didn't. I guess it's not too late. I should call him."

Lizzie went to pick up the phone, but before she could the phone rang.

End note: See, I told you it was short.
