Chapter 4: Miranda & Gordo's Discussion

(A few minutes ago while Lizzie was talking to Ethan.)

*Miranda and Gordo were sitting in one of the first seats on the bus when Miranda asks Gordo a question.

M: "Gordo?"

G: " What?"

M: "We have to talk about this!!!"

G: "What???"

M: " Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about DAVID!!!"

G: " Uh? School?"

M: " Oh no, mister! Don't play 'Clues-less' with me!!!"

G: " You mean the whole Lizzie's-got-a-boyfriend-now-so-there's-no-chance-of-me-dating-her thing? It's not possible."
M: " Gordo! Listen to me!!! Gordo, you're a great guy, there's absolutely NO reason why Lizzie wouldn't want to date you."

G: " Ya, but I'm her best friend," Miranda gives him the Don't-forget-about-me-I'm-your-friend stare, "Other than you, so it would probably feel really uncomfortable for her to date her best friend. It's like dating a brother! Besides my parents, Lizzie's the only person I've known my entire life…."

M: " I know, I know!!! 'And you never thought of what it would be like when she had a boyfriend!"

G: " Whatever, I just feel that she might want us to STAY best friends, nothing more, nothing less."
M: " Gordo, I've known you guys long enough to know when you like your best friend, ya know, as more than a friend. Of course she likes you!!! She's just denying it because she thinks YOU couldn't ever like her as more than a friend."

G: " I wonder if Brooke had anything to do with this. I hope I didn't hurt her feelings."

M: " Gordo, don't worry, that was seventh grade! She had the same thing in eighth grade when her boyfriend was Ronnie Jacobs."

G: " Ahhhhhh, don't remind me!!!!"

M: " I knew you were jealous!"

G: " So………..you're saying she felt the same way when I was dating Brooke???"

M: " Ya!!! Of course!!! There were times when I was talking with Lizzie while you were dating Brooke when she would say like, 'How could Gordo do this to me???' but she would try to cover it up by saying she meant us, her and I."

G: " Ya mean……?"

M: " Uh, yeah!!!"

G: " Why didn't she tell me she was uncomfortable???"

M: " You wouldn't really let her talk."

M: " I kinda went along with the idea of you having a girlfriend, but it was giving Lizzie a harder time to accept that 'You broke up with us!"

G: " Awww, I feel so terrible!"

M: " Gordo! Gordo! You had your girlfriend, and she had her boyfriend. You're kind of even. Each of you knows how the other felt when the same thing happened. It's not you're fault."

M: " Listen, I will talk to Chris for you. We can work out a plan to get you to together."

G: " But……" He was cut off by Miranda, when they were walking off the bus.

M: " Gordo, trust me! I have an idea!" Miranda left. Ethan and Lizzie got off after them, little did they know that they were talking about the same thing!
