Disclaimer: this gets so old and boring! I do not own anything related to Lizzie McGuire.

A/N: takes place the next day at school and this is going to be Lizzie's first time in her new 1st period class since she got her schedule yesterday in third period.

Reviews: orangecrush-thanks for the review! At least now I know that my story is liked and being read. And to Nicole, when I went to look at your fanfic it said that was an invalid address you gave me. I couldn't locate it, please give me another link. I would love to read it sometime!

Lizzie walked into her new first period class not knowing what to expect except that Miranda and Gordo wouldn't be there. As soon as she walked in she noticed Claire talking with her friends and pointing to Lizzie. But at this point Lizzie didn't care. She was half asleep and tired as hell. After the phone call last night she couldn't think of anything but Miranda and Gordo.

Should I have told Miranda? Should I tell Gordo? He does have a right to know since he is my best friend and ex boyfriend. But what if he re-acts the same way Miranda did? On the other hand I guess it would be better if he heard it from me instead of Kate Saunders. That bitch! Of course I did sleep with her boyfriend. I don't even think it was my idea though. Although, I really wouldn't remember.

All these thoughts were running through Lizzie's head. And then on top of it all Claire was spreading rumors about her at that very moment. Lizzie would have two more periods to decide what she was going to tell Gordo, if anything.

MEANWHILE

Meanwhile, Lizzie wasn't the only one thinking hard about the two's phone conversation the previous night. Miranda was in her first period math class thinking about how she treated Lizzie.

I was pretty mean to Lizzie last night. Should I tell her, or would it make things more complicated? Lizzie probably never wants to see me again. She opened up to me last night with a huge secret and I basically turned my back on her. What kind of "best friend" am I? Should I even attempt sitting at lunch with her today? No, I would probably just cause a scene. I'll try calling her tonight!

AT LUNCH Lizzie walked into the cafeteria to find Gordo sitting at their usual table, but no Miranda.

"Well, isn't that a shocker." Lizzie mumbled to herself as she walked over to meet Gordo.

"Hey Lizzie, where's Miranda?"

"Don't know, don't care!" Lizzie said in a snotty tone

"okay. are you two fighting again?"

"It doesn't matter. I need to tell you something." Lizzie said, looking into Gordo's eyes with the sad puppy dog look.

Gordo laughed at her for a few seconds and said, "What, did those pair of jeans you wanted go on sale at the mall and you don't have a ride?"

"This isn't funny Gordo. It's actually really serious." Lizzie had a worried look on her face.

"You're okay, I mean your not sick are you Liz? This isn't one of those 'give your prized possessions away to your best friend' type of moments is it?" Gordo asked getting concerned.

"No, nothing like that but it is important."

"Okay, I'm listening. So tell!"

"Now that I'm thinking about it, I'd rather not say it here. Can you come over later on tonight so that we can talk in private?"

"Sure, but we wont have much privacy there. Matt's always listening at the door or your parents are going up and down the stairs checking on us every five minutes." Gordo said

"Yea you're right. But this is very important and I need to tell you before you hear it from someone else."

By this time Lizzie was getting very emotional and on the verge of crying. Gordo saw this and realized that whatever she wanted to talk about meant something to her.

"My mom is going with my dad to a seminar about new psychiatrist techniques for a few hours. You could come over to my house. Is that okay?"

"That sounds good."

The lunch bell rang and it was time for everyone to get back to class. Neither of them had eaten lunch, and Miranda was nowhere to be found. Lizzie's next class was with Kate and Ethan. Which was the class that she had been dreading all day! When everyone got into the classroom and sat down the teacher announced that they would be doing paired projects together.

"Alright class, settle down. We are doing a project this week about territorial animals. I'm going to name everyone's partner and the two of you will have to pick an animal, research it and give a report about it's territorial nature. Partners will be read off my list and I must warn you not to come to me begging to change it, because it's not going to happen! Okay, here we go. Larry and Susan, Ethan and Sandra, Lizzie and Kate."

Mr. Hills voice kind of drifted off in Lizzie's mind as soon as she heard the words "Lizzie and Kate" put next to each other in a sentence.

This cannot be happening. The last time Kate and I did a project together she rambled on for a week about how messy my house was, how she did all the work and how I couldn't even write a sentence out. AND NOW SHE HAS SOMETHING ON ME! I have to talk to Gordo about this, among other things. Maybe he can figure out some way to get me out of this!

Things to think about: What will happen when Kate and Lizzie get together to work on their project? What is Miranda hiding? Will Lizzie tell Gordo about Ethan? And what will happen at Gordo's house?

A/N: This is probably the most interesting chapter I have written so far. Now you're starting to see where my summary is coming in at. It only took me four chapters to get there lol. You know the drill, R&R please. Good and bad comments, suggestions or tips. If you don't send in I'm going to think that no one is reading my chapters and I'm not going to write anymore!
