MIRANDA'S POV

30 Minutes Earlier

I can't believe that I am home. After what seemed like an eternity in Mexico City. I can't wait to see Lizzie and Gordo. I hope they have missed me. What am I saying I know they have missed me. Lizzie sound really excited when I called her that is until Gordo got on the 3 way. It was like the energy just left. Lizzie and Gordo just were talking to me and not each other. I thought that was totally weird. After Gordo got of the phone I asked Lizzie what was up. She said she rather tell me in person. So to me it sounds really serious, but knowing Lizzie she might over exaggerate the situation.

Miranda starts to walk up to Hillridge High School.

This school looks a lot bigger than my old middle school. If that makes any sense. Sometimes I wish I was still in junior high, or that I never went to Mexico City and had to be separated from Gordo and Lizzie. But like my mom says "Everything must change Mija". And I'm sad to say I agree!

Just then Gordo walks up.

"Miranda!" he yells out! Gordo starts to run towards me and embrace me in a super strong and super long hug. All I could do was laugh. I really missed him a lot.

"I thought we were supposed to meet by the lockers" I said.

"I was, but I figured you didn't know where you were going so I waited for you out here" said Gordo.

Mind you he was still hugging the crap out of me. After a few more seconds of embracing each other he finally let me go.

"Miranda I have missed you so much" says Gordo.

"I have missed you to Gordo. You look almost the same, except you grew an inch and your hair is longer. But it fits you" I said.

"Thanks you look the same too. Except you look a little more mature. And that's a good thing" says Gordo.

"You think I have matured" I said.

"I said you look mature. That doesn't mean you have matured" said Gordo jokingly.

I playfully push him to the side.

"So tell me everything about Hillridge High" I said still laughing.

"It's basically the same as Hillridge Middle. Kate is still popular".

I grimaced at the fact that Kate was still popular. She is nothing but a witch.

"Ethan is still popular and clueless as ever. Tudgeman is still a geek and he still has a crush on Lizz..." said Gordo.

Gordo trailed off when he mentioned Lizzie's name. I knew he was still hurting from their break-up. I knew Gordo and Lizzie would talk to me when they were ready. Then it dawned on me that Gordo didn't go inside to the lockers because he wasn't ready to see Lizzie.

"Gordo, when was the last time you saw Lizzie" I asked.

Gordo, really looked like he didn't want to answer the question. He looked confused, sad, and angry all at once.

"You don't have to answer that Gordo" I said.

"Thanks Miranda for understanding" Gordo said.

"Let's go inside now" I said.

"O.K." Gordo said, kind of sadly.

Gordo didn't seem too excited about going inside, but what other choice does he have. He has to face Lizzie sooner or later. Today it is sooner. As soon as we walked in we both spotted Lizzie by the lockers. I heard Gordo say "It's now or never" to himself. This moment was defiantly now.
