Lizzie sighed at Miranda's answer, "See, I told you."
"No, Lizzie! It's just that-"
"No, no need to explain. I don't see us staying together either." She said softly
"Oh." Was all Miranda could say
"I mean, it's not like we were gonna stay together forever... like I'd want to."
"What?" Miranda asked in disbelief
"Ok class. Please open your books to page 103..." Mrs. Lim began, but Miranda just drowned her voice out.
All Miranda thought about the whole 55 minutes of class was what Lizzie meant by, 'it's not like we were gonna stay together forever... like I'd want to.' Does that mean she wants to break up with Gordo?
Not that it would be a bad thing, but does she? I mean, even if she did, there are rules about dating your best friends ex. Hell, there are even rules about dating your best friend! It just doesn't work out!
TV shows are perfect examples. Look at Ross and Rachel. Or how about Dawson and Joey. Wait, there is also Buffy and Angel. Or maybe... well, you get the picture.
It just doesn't work out.
But Miranda hoped that she didn't count.

"Lizzie, wait up!" Miranda yelled after class, "What's the rush?" She asked when she caught up to her
"No rush. Just wanna get to my locker."
"Oh" Miranda began, "Uh- Lizzie? Are you gonna break up with Gordo?"
"Wh-what? Wh-why would y-you say that?" Lizzie stuttered, as she opened her locker
"Well, in class, you said that you didn't wanna stay with Gordo." Miranda explained, as she leaned against the locker next to Lizzie's
"No I didn't!" Lizzie said defensively
"Well, not in those words, exactly. But that was the gist of of it." She said matter of factly
"I just- I don't feel important to him anymore. I feel like he doesn't want to spend any time with me and- it just- sucks."
"Lizzie, he-" Miranda began
"It sucks because I feel like I'm losing my best friend- not my boyfriend. And if I break up with Gordo, I'll lose both."
"Lizzie, that not true." Miranda said, trying to be a good friend
"Isn't it? I lucked out when me and Gordo got together. I got a best friend and a boyfriend, all in one."
"Lizzie, you know- you're talking about losing Gordo as your best friend more than as a boyfriend."
'Oh my God! Did I actually say that?!' Miranda thought
"What's that suppose to mean?" Lizzie said as she shut her locker and faced Miranda
"It just seems that- you see Gordo more as a best friend then a boyfriend."
"Well, I-" Lizzie paused, then suddenly sat down on the Senior Stairwell
"Lizzie?" Miranda asked, as she followed her
"You know, after about the first 6 months of me and Gordo dating, I knew that I would rather be his best friend. I think the only reason I stayed with him for this long was because our parents always thought we would be perfect for each other. I mean, they were practically planning our wedding."
"Lizzie." Miranda said, as if she knew that that statement was untrue. Ans she was right
"Ok, so they weren't planning our wedding, but they knew that we would end up together, and when we told them we were together, they thought we would stay together forever. And then when everyone at Hillridge found out, they thought the same thing."
"And you didn't."
"No, I didn't. I guess I just didn't want to let anyone down. Everyone thought we were soulmates. But, I don't think we are."
Lizzie and Miranda just sat there. Miranda was being sympathetic towards Lizzie's feelings and Lizzie was thinking how much of a good friend Miranda is.
"You know, Lizzie- I never believed in soulmates."
"Me either... there's no such thing."
