"Come on in, Miranda." Lizzie said as she stepped into her room on Tuesday afternoon. School the past two days had been a blur of end-of- school activities. Now there was only three days of junior high left. Lizzie could hardly believe it.
"Can you believe there's only three days of school left?" Miranda asked settling herself on Lizzie's bed.
Lizzie laughed. "You read my thoughts." She joked, "But seriously, imagine next year everythings going to be..different."
"Yeah, I know!" Miranda excitedly said, "I can't wait!"
Lizzie gave her a strange look. "Your excited? I definitely CAN wait. I mean, I like things the way they are now, why do they have to change?"
Miranda scooted closer to her friend on the bed. "Lizzie, things change no matter what, I mean imagine us at the beginning of junior high, and then look at us now!"
Lizzie shook her head and smiled. "I heard almost that exact thing a few days ago. I know things are going to change but..what if someone close to you wouldn't like the change?"
Miranda shook her head. "I don't understand, what do you mean?"
Lizzie considered telling Miranda right now about her and Gordo. Afterall she would find out on Thursday anyway, right? Lizzie opened her mouth to explain when Miranda let out a small shriek and dashed for the door.
"I forgot, I told my aunt I would be home right after school today!" Since Miranda's parents were still in Mexico Miranda's aunt and uncle had volunteered to take care of Miranda until they got back. "I'm sorry Lizzie, but I gotta go!" Miranda hurriedly exclaimed as she dashed out the door. Lizzie could hear her stomping down the stairs and out the front door. Lizzie sighed and laid back on her bed. I can't wait until this week ends, she thought.
