Days passed by. And after talking with her parents, everything went well. Miranda told Lizzie, and being Lizzie- she was there to listen and help heal. Her friends were just too great.
"Excuse my interruption, Hillridge High." The PA boomed into all the of the classes, while every turned their attention to the speaker
"As you all know, Prom is in 2 weeks. The faculty and staff all hope you have the time of your lives- especially the seniors, considering this will be one of the last school functions you will be attending." The prinicipal paused, while senior cheers could heard throughout the school
"But while you all have your fun, we expect you to behave yourselves. That means the rules for any other school dance applies to this one too. Just because the Prom is held at a hotel does not mean you can act rambunctious. So please- conduct yourselves with honor and pride- and represent the Hillridge Eagle to the fullest!" The prinicipal finished, as -this time- laughs from all grades could be heard
"Ok, that was weird." Lizzie said as they exited their second period class, and began their walking to the quad
"I know!" Miranda agreed, "'represent the Hillridge Eagle to the fullest?'" She quoted the prinicipal, "What a bunch of crap! I bet everyone can't wait to get outta this dump!" She said sarcastically, "But about the prom being in 2 weeks- I need a date, a dress, shoes, I need to make appointments... oh my God! I still need a date!" She finished frantically
Gordo just watched this spectacle, increduolously.
"Miranda, you said that already." Lizzie said, "Don't worry, you'll find a date! As for the dresses- we can go shopping today, tomorrow, and Sunday if we have to. And the appointments for hair and makeup- we can do that that next week." She finished with confidence, as they sat down at their table
"But Lizzie, you forgot one crucial element" Miranda paused, "YOU don't have a date either!"
"Oh my God" Lizzie said into thin air "Oh my God" She repeated, "Oh my God! I- I don't have a date either!"
"Guys!" Gordo interrupted "You have two weeks to find a date. That's more than enough time."
"Gordo, things are differents for guys." Lizzie began "I mean, you can rent a tux, buy a corsage, it'll take you ten minutes to get ready, you just call a limo service- and your set!"
"Yah, and as for girls," Miranda continued "They have to buy a $200 dress minus the shoes and accessories, have a boutonnierre MADE, take and hour our two to get ready, and we still have to go through the agony of wondering who's gonna ask us the the Prom."
"Well you have two weeks." Gordo began "I mean, if you make your 'hair and makeup' appointments WHILE you go shopping tomorrow- you killed two birds with one stone." Gordo pondered, "Well in your guys' case, it would be four birds with two stones." He laughed at his own joke, while Lizzie and Miranda just looked at each other.
"Ok, I'll just shut up now." Gordo said, a little embaressed
"No, Gordo- that was a pretty good idea." Lizzie said
"Yah. Then all we have to worry about is dates." Miranda half smiled
Gordo let out and exasperated sigh, "Don't worry! You'll get dates!"
"Ok, ok- no need to get all hot and bothered, Gordo." Lizzie said meekly
"I'm not 'all hot and bothered'" Gordo began, "It's just you- I mean, you guys- I hate it when you-" Gordo sighed "I need to start hanging out with more guys." Gordo finished before letting his head collapse on the table in front of him.
-+- (later that day)
"Oh my God! I can't believe he asked you!" Miranda semi-yelled "You have a date and I don't, great! Have fun at Prom, Lizzie."
"Hey. what's going on?" Gordo asked
"Ethan asked me to the Prom." Lizzie answered, with a smile
"So your Ethan crush came back, huh?" Gordo asked rhetorically "So what wrong with Miranda?"
"You wanna know?" Miranda asked getting a little touchy "Lizzie has a date to the Prom and I don't! I mean, I'm happy for her but I won't be able to go!"
Gordo was confused, "Why not?"
"Did you not listen to a word I said?" Miranda asked "Lizzie has a date. I don't. No date- I can't go."
"You've gotta be kidding me." He said under his breathe "You have two weeks. TWO WEEKS!"
"I know!" Lizzie interrupted, as she took Gordo off the the side and left a confused Miranda
Lizzie was talking to Gordo for a while. Miranda found herself a little suspicious and a little jealous.
"What?" Miranda asked, as they came back
"Miranda, will you go to prom with me?" Gordo asked
"What?!" Miranda asked in suprise
"Well- you and Gordo didn't have a date- and besides, it's not like you haven't gone to a dance with him before. Just think of it like before. How all three of us went to dances together. Just- subtract me." Lizzie explained
"So how 'bout it?" Gordo asked "You. Me. The Prom." He stated, much like a wanna-be player
Miranda laughed, "Sure- why not?"
After the three walked out of school, Lizzie and Miranda seperated from Gordo and made their way to Lizzie's black, VW Jetta.
"Lizzie, why did you tell Gordo to ask me to thro Prom?" Miranda asked, once Lizzie drove out of the parking lot
"Didn't you want him to?" Lizzie asked, as she changed the station
"I did, but I wanted him to ask me on his own."
"Miranda, you know Gordo." Lizzie began "He needs a little push when it comes to these kind of things."
"But I feel like you forced him to ask me."
"Actually, I didn't" Lizzie said as she stopped at a red light "I suggested it and he thought it was a great idea!"
"Really?" Miranda asked as the car began going again
"Really." Lizzie paused "I would never force him to do anything." Lizzie could feel Miranda's knowing stare "Well- not when it comes to you... 7 years remember?" Lizzie smiled
Miranda returned the smile, "Actually 6" She lauged
"So how about prom shopping?" Lizzie asked "I don't think I can go today. I have to go watch Matt's soccer game." Lizzie explained, "How about tomorrow, and Sunday? Maybe after school on Monday if we have to." She finished as she parked in Miranda's driveway
"Sounds like a plan." Miranda agreed "See you tomorrow!" She said exiting Lizzie's car
'I'm going to the Prom with Gordo!' Miranda thought happily
Her dreams were beginning to come true.
