Lizzie heard the doorbell ring and jumped up to get it. She knew it would
be Gordo and ran to the door. He was standing there with a concerned look
on his face. "What's up Lizzie? You sounded a little frazzled on the
phone!"
"Miranda's here. She just did something and I knew it was time to tell her. I can't tell you what she did but I can tell you that she might tell you if you really try to get it out of her. Lets go. We need to tell her right away before she does something else!"
The couple ran upstairs hand in hand. Right before they reached the door, their hands unlaced and they opened the door. Miranda looked confused. "Gordo? He's who you needed here? What's going on? What's this all about?"
"Calm down. There is something you need to hear. We, Lizzie and I, are dating. We knew it would eventually happen, and it did."
Lizzie picked up room where Gordo left off "When you called, we weren't at the Digital Bean. We were at Gordo's house. In his room. Don't worry, we didn't do that. Almost. But you called and I left right after that."
"Oh. I understand. I've been expecting this."
"Now Miranda. Why don't you tell your good friend Gordo what you did to make Lizzie want to tell you this."
"Well, I am going to tell you the same thing I told Lizzie. I have to tell you some background information first. Well, when I was in Mexico, I met a boy. Not just any boy. A really cute boy. Cuter then Ethan in fact! Well, we got to talking and he invited me to a movie. During the movie he leaned over and kissed me
"But I didn't feel anything. No sparks, no fireworks. I didn't even enjoy it. Then, my mind flashed back to a thought I had one time. And I realized it was true. I love Lizzie. A lot. Which is probably why she wanted to tell you. I kissed her, Gordo. Don't worry. She fought back and pushed me away."
"Wow. Miranda. I.I don't know what to say. Lizzie? Is this why? Well, sweetheart, you have nothing to worry about. I'm here." He placed a kiss on her forehead. "I have to go now. My mom wants me home for something. Love you. Bye Miranda."
Gordo jogged out of the room. Lizzie followed him to the door. He turned around and gave her a kiss. With that, he left the house. While walking home, he couldn't help but thinking. Miranda? A.I can't even say the word! I never would have thought. No wonder why Lizzie sounded upset. I would be too if I were her and a girl came on to me!
Lizzie went back upstairs and found Miranda sitting on the floor, crying softly. Lizzie sat next to her and put her arm around her. Miranda quickly shrugged it off.
"I don't want your sympathy. I deserve this."
"Deserve what?"
"To be hated by you and Gordo. I could see it in his eyes, and I saw disgust."
"Don't be silly Miranda. He was fine about it. You and me and Gordo are best friends. We will get through this!"
"This isn't something you get through Lizzie! This is how I am. I hid it for a long time, and when I finally opened up to you, I find out you and Gordo and going out. Come on Lizzie! Get a clue! I love you. Can't you see that? Obviously you don't care. You and Gordo go have fun. You can go and get knocked up by him for all I care. Just know that I will always love you no matter what." With that, she got up and ran for the front door, leaving Lizzie in tears.
She's right. I have no idea how she feels. I love Gordo so much, and I don't want to hurt Miranda. I really wish I could have some help here right now. Any other time, I would have went to my mom! But this time, I'm on my own. I can't say anything to anyone, or I will definitely kill this friendship forever. Why the hell does this always happen to me.
She picked up the phone and called Gordo. "Gordo? I know you just left and all, but I really want to see you. Can I come over? Thanks Hun. Be over in five minutes.
Lizzie knocked on Gordo's door ten minutes later. He opened it and had that concerned look on his face again. Lizzie started crying again. Gordo hugged her. "Oh, Lizzie baby, what's wrong???"
Lizzie choked out her words in between sobs. "Mir...Miranda.She.She hates me."
"Shhhhh. Calm down, I can't understand you."
Lizzie took a deep breath. "Miranda hates me. She said a whole bunch of things instead of 'I hate you' but I got the point."
"Well, what did she say?'
"She said she loved me and I didn't care. She said we go have fun sarcastically. She said I could go get knocked up by you for all she cares. And then she left."
Gordo brought her in and sat down with her on the couch. "Don't worry about her. She'll come around. This is all a big shock to her, I bet. Anyways, it's none of her business if I knock you up or not.
Lizzie playfully slapped him on the arm. "Gordo! Who says you could knock me up? I don't want a child! Gordo? GORDO!"
Gordo was in Gordoland again. He must have been thinking about something. "Oh. Huh?"
Lizzie sighed.
What was Gordo thinking about! Well, don't feel bad, I don't know what either. But I will soon.
"Miranda's here. She just did something and I knew it was time to tell her. I can't tell you what she did but I can tell you that she might tell you if you really try to get it out of her. Lets go. We need to tell her right away before she does something else!"

Gordo was in Gordoland again. He must have been thinking about something. "Oh. Huh?"
Lizzie sighed.
What was Gordo thinking about! Well, don't feel bad, I don't know what either. But I will soon.
