*the next day, 10:15 am*
Miranda entered her school and headed straight for the attendence office, because of her absence for the first two classes.
"Can I help you?" Mrs. Caron, the attendence lady asked
"Uh- yah" Miranda began, " I'm Miranda Sanchez and I was absent for the first two classes because I had to take my little sister to a doctors appointment." She explained
"Ok. Just give this slip to you third period teacher and your absence will be excused." She replied, handing her a little green slip
"Alright, thanks." She said as she took the slip from her hands and exited the office.
After leaving the attendence office, Miranda headed for her locker. When she arrived there, she was suprised to see Gordo and Lizzie waiting for her, just talking and laughing. To be honest, that sight hurt her. Just seeing them being a happy couple again made her want to turn around and go back home... but she couldn't.
"Hey guys!" Miranda greeted as she walked up to them, "So, the happy couple is actually -happy- again, huh?" She added as she opened her locker
"Uhm- well, we broke up last night." Lizzie explained
Miranda stopped getting her books and just looked at them.
"We kinda saw ourselves as nothing more than friends, so we decided we should break up." Gordo added
"So lemme get this straight" Miranda said, still trying to figure things out "You guys broke up last night..."
They nodded.
"And are happy about it..." She continued
They nodded again.
"And you're still best friends after almost 4 years of a relationship?" Miranda finished, then closed her locker
Gordo and Lizzie looked at eachother, then at Miranda, and answered in uninson, "Yah."
"You two are strange, little people." She replied, shaking her head
-+-
"Ah, lunch! The best class of the day!" Miranda said, as the three exited Mrs. Charles' Civics class
"Miranda! This is only your second class of the day" Lizzie began,"its me and Gordo's fourth! How can you be looking forward to lunch, already?"
"Easy- you try being in a waiting room with 12 kids from ages 3 to 12 running around, screaming, and crying for their 'mommy' for 30 minutes. It was pure hell."
"30 minutes? Come on, Miranda. It couldn't have been THAT bad."
"Oh, but it was Gordo... it was." Miranda replied as they passed the library
"Hey guys- I'll catch you in English. I wanna get an early start on that Civics project." Gordo explained
"But that project isn't due for another 2 weeks." Lizzie said
"I know. But you know me- I HATE procrastinating." And with that said, Gordo disappeared into the library
"Well, I guess it's just the two of us." Miranda said as they entered the cafeteria
"It won't be that bad. I mean, we haven't really had any REAL 'girl talk' in a while."
"What do you mean?" Miranda asked, as they sat down at their usual table
"I mean, I feel that I've neglected you for a while... come on! Lets talk." Lizzie began "So, who is the new 'love' interest in Miss Miranda Sanchez's life?"
"What? No one." Miranda lied, before she popped a chip in her mouth
"Oh come on M'randa! I've known you for 13 years- there is ALWAYS eye candy for you."
"Well not this year." Miranda began, "I mean, I've known the same guys for almost 6 years... I've gotten tired of them."
'oOo... Lizzie is gonna hate me if she ever finds out I like Gordo.' Miranda thought
"Oh please Miranda!" Lizzie laughed, "You said the same thing to me in sixth grade when you liked Marcus Solomon. It may have worked in sixth grade, but it's not gonna work now. Come on... it's not like you like Gordo!"
Miranda almost choked on the chip she was eating.
'How could she know that!?' Miranda thought
"Oh my God..." Lizzie trailed off
"No Lizzie *ahem* I'm fine, really." Miranda said
"It's not that." Lizzie said as she looked Miranda straight in the eyes, "You like Gordo."
