"Mija! You'll be late for school!" Miranda's mom yelled from the kitchen

Miranda was already up. But see, the thing is, that she lags... a lot. She has been awake for a good 30 minutes and she is still picking out her outfit. After she heard her mom yell, she just grabbed the closest thing to her.

"It'll have to do." She said as she looked at a light blue Rainbow Brite shirt and a pair of dark blue hip huggers

She put on her clothes, applied a little bit of make-up, and headed downstairs, where she was greeted by her mom and her little sister, Krissy.

"Ay, Mija, I'll take Krissy to school, today. You'll be late picking up Lizzie and Matt if you take Krissy, ok?" Isabella told Miranda

"Ok, sorry mom."

"It's ok, just make sure you get something good to eat for breakfast, ok? Come on, lets go, Krissy." Isabella said, as she grabbed her keys

"Ok, bye Miranda!" Krissy said

"Bye Krissy, have fun today!" Miranda said, as she grabbed a muffin then sat down for a little while

'Me and Lizzie weren't meant to be.'

What Gordo had told her the day before, stuck in her head all yesterday and most likely all of today. 'Does that mean he wants to break up with her?' She thought as she bit into her muffin.

She shook her head of that ridiculous thought, got up to get her keys, and made her way to her car to pick up Matt and Lizzie.

"Hey McGuire's!" Miranda said, as Lizzie and Matt entered her Navy 2002 Celica gts

"Hey!" They both answered

"So did you get the Calculus homework? I didnt get any of it." Lizzie said

"I kinda did. I did SOME of the problems." Lizzie knew she was lying and Miranda knew that Lizzie knew, "Well... more like two of the problems." Lizzie laughed

"I was gonna call Gordo for help, but he wasnt home."

"Oh." Was all Miranda said

The rest of the car ride to school was silent. With the exception of Lizzie and Miranda quietly singing along with the radio.

"Ugh, where is Gordo? He's never been late." Lizzie said as she sat in her AP Euro class

"Lizzie, don't worry about him. He has a good reason for being late." Miranda replied

"Yah? And what would that be?" Lizzie asked a little defensively

"His parents." Miranda said cooly

"What about his parents?"

"He didn't tell you?" Miranda asked, confused

"Tell me what?"

"Look Lizzie, I think he should be the one to tell you."

"Who should be the one to tell you what?" Gordo asked, as he entered the class
