"Lizzie!! Wake up!!" Mrs. McGuire yelled at Lizzie who had been sleeping all

morning. She had been up until three talking to Gordo on the phone. The thought of it made

her smile. He was such a romanitc! It was so sweet! She never thought that she would think that

about her best friend, the guy she's known since she was born!

"Okay! I'm up!" Lizzie yelled to her Mother.

Lizzie looked at the clock. It was one o'clock in the afternoon! Miranda was supposed to call

ger around twelve. Lizzie jumped out of bed, got dressed, and raced downstairs.

"Mom! Did anybody call?" Lizzie asked.

"Um....yeah. Gordo called twice, and Miranda caled about half an hour ago." Mrs. McGuire replyed.

"Thanks Mom." Lizzie said.

Great. She missed her call. She could go and call her, but normally, they answered the phone in

spanish. But this was so important, that she would have to call and pray that Miranda answered.

She got up and went to her room to call Miranda.

"Hello?" Luckily, Miranda answered.

"Miranda? Hey!" Lizzie exclaimed.

"Oh Hey Lizzie! I called you earlier but you were still asleep! What time did you go to bed last

night?" Miranda asked.

"Oh probably around three." Lizzie replyed shyly.

"Three? What were you doing? You're not normally a night person." Miranda asked.

"Well....I was just talking to Gordo." Lizzie replyed.

"At three in the morning?!" Miranda exclaimed.

"Yeah. Actually. There's something that I need to tell you. I'm just afraid of what you'll say."

Lizzie told her.

"Lizzie, what's wrong?" Miranda asked.

"It's nothing bad. But....."

"Spill it girl!" Miranda exclaimed.

"Gordo has a girlfriend!" she said almost too happily.

"Really? Who?!?" Miranda asked Lizzie.

"Wait...that's not all the news. I have a boyfriend!!" Lizzie exclaimed.

"Oh my gosh! Really? Who is it?!" Miranda was extatic now.

"Well, it's um......Gordo." Lizzie said quietly.

There was dead silence on the other end. Lizzie didn't know what to do.
