[A/N]: Im writing these chapters pretty fast… four chapters in less than an hour and a half. Just to let some of you know, Lizzie is out of character because like I said at the beginning of the story 'some of the normals became popular'…. Lizzie is one of the normals that became popular… changing her whole attitude. Yet she didn't drop her old friends. Some advice, If you listen to Naked by Avril Lavigne while reading the story… it will make it better.

-Chapter 5-

When I sat in class, in the corner of my eye, I saw Gordo looking at me. It was like he was scared to take his eyes off of me, thinking if he did, I would get hurt. But it was already too late to not get hurt. I turned around and stared straight at Gordo. He kept watching me as though he wanted so badly to help me. I just gave off a small smirk and turned around. How fake was that? It didn't really matter. I was just trying to make him stop worrying about me, if that's what he was doing. I wanted to get threw the rest of the school day… go home… maybe get some rest.

Instead of paying attention in class, I tried to remember every second at lunch when Gordo hugged me. Then it came to me that my feelings were just like another part of "Naked" by Avril Lavigne.

But then you came around me

The walls just disappeared

Nothing to surround me

And keep me from my fears

When Gordo hugged me, I felt safe; Like nothing could harm me. But at the same time I felt scared.

The last period was finally over. As the bell rang, I got out of my seat about to walk to the door, when Lizzie stopped me. "Miranda, wait. I want to tell you something. I know you're probably having a hard time trusting Gordo and me with whatever's bothering you, but I want you to know that whatever it is, we're here. If you want to talk, I'm right here, and don't forget that okay?" She gave me a slight hug.

It didn't feel like Gordo's for some reason. But Lizzie somewhat understood what's was going on… not as much as Gordo seemed to though. I would have never expected Lizzie to say what she said, just because of the fact that what she said is what the old Lizzie would have said, not the new and improved Lizzie.

I didn't say anything except give off that same small fake smirk and walked out the door.

"Lizzie?" Gordo and Lizzie walked down the hall going to the buses.

"What?" Lizzie continued to walk, although Gordo had stopped when he said her name.

"I'm worried about Miranda." At this, Lizzie paused and turned around.

"I am too. I mean, I don't know what to say, tomorrow… its a different day. Maybe tomorrow she'll be okay. Hey, that rhymed."

Gordo just looked at Lizzie and rolled his eyes. "I think I'm going to go over to Miranda's house a little later to talk to her."

"Should I come?" They started walking again.

"I think I'm going to go alone. Maybe its for the best."

Gordo wanted to talk to Miranda by himself. He felt as though maybe he could relate more to her than Lizzie.

"Okay, whatever."
