The New...Everything

Chapter Twenty

*-*-Spring Break-*-*

Lizzie and Gordo had been dating for almost three months now, and they were nearly inseperable. They saw Miranda around school sometimes. Lizzie felt bad about what had happened back in December. She apologized numerous times, but she knew that Miranda needed to accept Gordo. It wasn't just for Lizzie to apologize; Miranda needed to realize what she had done. Lizzie and Gordo had decided to hang out at home for Spring Break this year. They had lots of fun things planned. That is, until the phone rang. Lizzie answered, "McGuire residence. Elizabeth speaking." She loved answering the phone like that.

"Um, hey Liz." Lizzie stood there: mouth open, wide eyes. "Liz? Are you there?"

"MIRANDA?!" she practically yelled with shock.

"Liz..." Miranda began apologetically.

"Yes?"

"Okay, listen, Liz. I'm am completely and utterly and totally sorry! I was so mean, and I feel horrible. Nothing's the same with out you anymore. And Kate...oo! Don't even get me started on that mistake. Liz, I'M SO SORRY!" Miranda pleaded.

Lizzie smiled. Gordo looked at her, "What does she want?"

"Hold on, Miranda." She covered the mouthpiece, "She just apologized, Gordo. What do I do?"

"Well," Gordo thought, "does she sound like she's sorry?"

"Oh, Gordo! She sounds miserable! Can we invite her over for some movies and popcorn?" She looked at him in her hopeful little puppy face.

He smirked, "Yeah, It's okay, McGuire."

"Miranda?!"

"Yeah, Liz?"

"You can come over and watch movies with Gordo and me right now, if you want..."

"Oh, Liz! That'd be great!"

"Okay, see you in a few, girl! Bye!" And with that, the two hung up their phones. Lizzie plopped down by Gordo, "What'll we do until she gets here?" He smiled mischieviously. "Gordo! No!" She began to back away slowly, and he came after her. "Oh, c'mon, Gordo! Not now...!" she pleaded. He made a dash for her. She squealed and ran from him. He was much faster than her, so he eventually caught up to her. They had ended up back in the living room. Lizzie lying on her back on the couch, and Gordo on top of her. He was mercilessly tickling her, and she was laughing uncontrollably. But then...the door bell rang. Lizzie shot up and ran to the door. She opened it happily, "Hey...Miranda?" Her happiness was brought to an end...what had happened to her friend?

(A/N: Okay, here's what I need from you guys. I won't update until I find out what you think should happen to Miranda. Should she and Lizzie become friends again? Or should this all be a ploy because all of Miranda's "friends" are out of town for break? Or should this be a mean trick that Kate has come up with because she knows that Miranda can get to Lizzie? You tell me, and whichever plot people like more, I'll use that! It's up to you, readers! Bye now!)
