Lizzie
Lizzie walked beside Gordo down the hall of Hillridge Junior High. She couldn't believe it. This was her last full day of junior high. Tonight was the dance and then tomorrow was a half day. Then...high school. Lizzie sighed and pushed those thoughts out of her head. She had to focus on Miranda right now.
She briskly walked into her homeroom and saw Miranda sitting in a corner, staring at her desk and occasionally writing in a purple spiral- bound notebook, Lizzie knew was her journal.
"Look, Miranda, I'm sorry! Really! I wanted to tell you, I just couldn't right away but, I'm really sorry..." The apologies and excuses kept pouring out of her mouth but Miranda showed no sign of forgiving her, or even that she was listening to Lizzie.
Once Lizzie finished, Miranda simply looked up at her for a split- second, then continued writing in her journal.
Lizzie visibly flushed, and murmured quietly, "I just wanted you to know I didn't mean to hurt you." Then turned away and took her seat behind Miranda.
Since it was the last full day of school, the students were only watching a movie. Throughout the movie Lizzie could occasionally see Miranda write some more in her notebook. Lizzie leaned forward a little so she could get better look. No, luck, Miranda's shoulder was in the way. Slowly Lizzie leaned a little to her right and scooted to the end of her chair. Success! She could barely make out a little of Miranda's loopy writing.
'I can't believe Lizzie kept such a big thing from me. Gordo too. Aren't we all supposed to share our secrets? But then again I guess'
That was all Lizzie could read. Lizzie glanced to both sides of her seeing most of the students around her were asleep or engrossed in the movie. Slowly she scooted her chair over and leaned as far as she could to the left.
'Lizzie did apologize. A lot. In her Lizzie-like way. Should I forgive her? Ya, know what? I'
Again Lizzie couldn't see past that point. She moved so only her right leg was completely off the chair, and craned her neck so she could see over Miranda's shoulder.
'I think I will-'
CRASH!
Lizzie had leaned too far over, she fell from the chair and landed splat on the floor. As Gordo pulled her chair off her and offered her a hand all the kids around her laughed and put their full attention on her. Lizzie blushed to the roots of her hair and glanced shyly at Miranda. Miranda seemed to be hiding an amused smile and when she caught Lizzie's gaze she offered a timid 'I'm sorry' smile.
Lizzie straightened her chair and moved closer to Miranda.
"Lizzie," Miranda began.
"That was really smooth Loozie, can you say klutz?" Kate Sanders appeared behind Lizzie.
"Nobody asked you, Kate." Lizzie said spitefully.
"Oh, and I heard you and Gor-dork are going out." Kate said in a falsely sweet voice. "A match made in loser-heaven."
Lizzie closed her eyes and composed herself. When she turned to Kate she put on a fake smile and said, "At least I have a boyfriend Kate." Her and Ethan had broken up the week before.
"Boyfriend, schmoyfriend." Kate replied airily. "I have a great date to the dance tonight, you might know him, Brent Dale?"
Lizzie was taken back. She gave one last withering glare to Kate and glanced behind her to give Miranda the signal they had to back her up.
Instead of saying something to Kate, Miranda looked coolly at Lizzie and said, "Nice fall."
As Kate laughed behind her, Lizzie gasped and looked at Miranda in disbelief. As she opened her mouth to reply the teacher finally seemed to notice Lizzie and Kate were out of their seats.
"Ms. McGuire, Ms. Saunders return to your seats and if I found you up again you'll be restricted from attending tonight's festivities." He sternly said.
Lizzie sat down, resigned. She sighed heavily and turned her attention back to the movie. Here she was again, square one.
