Lizzie
Later that day Lizzie walked beside Miranda and Gordo as they searched for a roller coaster they hadn't been on today.
"You two!" Miranda suddenly exclaimed, "All day I have been the only one talking! What's up with you guys?"
Lizzie and Gordo both mumbled unintelligible answers.
"Oh, you're impossible." Miranda mumbled. Her brown eyes quickly scanned the park map in front of her and she pointed left. "There, "Desert Storm" the only roller coaster we haven't ridden today. It only has 3 loops!"
Lizzie grimaced. "Miranda, my stomachs been through about five too many loops already, three more and..." Lizzie trailed off making a bad face to illustrate her point. "You two go ahead, I'll just go on the Ferris Wheel, I'm pretty sure my stomach can handle that."
Miranda rolled her eyes. "McGuire, you could never handle all the roller coasters here! I thought last year you said that you would definitely make it this year." Miranda gave Lizzie a pointed look
"Yeah, yeah, but," A small smile slid over Lizzie's face, "I promise I'll go on them all next year."
Miranda bopped her on the head with her park map. "I'll stay with you." Gordo suddenly offered.
Both Lizzie and Miranda looked at Gordo in surprise. "No, Gordo! You're exactly what I'm getting away from!" Lizzie thought, however what came out her mouth was.. "Well, sure." Lizzie stammered.
"Fine, you two, you go on the baby rides and I'll meet you at the fountain in the entrance in a half hour." Miranda suggested.
The trio split apart into two groups as the friends went in two separate ways. Lizzie purposely stayed silent as they got into line and then stepped into a cart on the Ferris Wheel.
Once they were up in the ride Gordo said, "Ok Lizzie, spill, what's been wrong with you all day."
Lizzie glanced at him and said, "Nothings been wrong with me I'm just trying to act normal so Miranda won't be suspicious of us."
Gordo laughed, "You're acting far from normal, McGuire, just be yourself, how we always are."
"That's just it Gordo!" Lizzie exclaimed, "If we go out it won't be how it always was, it will be different, no matter what we say."
"But Lizzie, we'll be in high school next year. Things will change anyway. We both admitted we had feelings for each other, so why deny them? Lets just see what happens, ok?"
Lizzie took a deep breath and visibly relaxed. "Ya know Gordo, that doesn't sound like you! You definitely are changing." She said with a grin.
Gordo smiled as they jumped off the ride, "Come on, McGuire, lets go meet Miranda." Gordo grabbed Lizzie's hand and pulled her toward the entrance. That one small gesture, holding hands, meant the world to Lizzie. "Things just might be starting to go my way." Lizzie thought.
