WHAT the hell. When are you going to give Gordo a break? You kiss him in Rome, I don't know the circumstances, you blow me off and never tell me anything, and now you're getting me to be the go-between-er? Gordo obviously really, really likes you. Like, likes you. He asked me to ask you if you actually like him, because he's so confused. And he wants to ask you out, but don't tell him I told you that. You two obviously like each other. Just, just try a little harder, be a bit nicer, and go on a nice little date. About the kiss, in the digital bean, he was just trying to be nice. As I said before, he just wants you to be happy. Now, how cute is that???
No point in telling you what's going on. You won't answer anyways. You don't even seem to care about me anymore. Probably too busy getting all friendly with Kate. what's that all about???

OK, something is going on. With Lizzie I mean. She's just not herself. She doesn't send long emails any more, just short quick things about herself. I don't know anything about what happened in Rome, she hasn't even told me who she roomed with or anything. Usually she'd be bouncing off the walls with details, was the flight long, was the bedding red, did she eat lots of pizza, who said what, where you went. But, I get nothing. Somebody's not telling me something.
About the kiss in the digital bean. Just for you, and I literally mean just for you, I', trying to knock some sense into her. She's liked you SINCE, not just in but SINCE, grade 4, and usually she'd be bursting with joy. hmmmm...what is she not telling me.
After the kiss in Rome, I'd need to know the circumstances. Using what I know, I would probably say that it would mean you were boyfriend and girlfriend. I would think that if somebody (a boy of course) kissed me.
Whew. I'm sick of giving advice. I don't think it's fair that all you email me about is Lizzie, yet I can't talk about Marco because you're a boy. Lizzie's just being weird, so I can't talk to her. Ana and Maria have known him all their life so he's like a brother to them; for a while they lived with him when their parents went to America. Therefore they don't want to hear about him. And they're really the only ones I feel I can talk to down here.
I wish I was home. Not home, this little Mexican home where at any given time at least 4 relatives are here. Now my uncle is staying so his baby won't catch a cold. Same with his 4-year-old son. I wish I was home and I could come see you and Lizzie right now and make everything OK.
*sigh*

ps. I WAS in a good mood. Then I started to think.

Miranda-
I'm so confused! I don't know what's happening anymore! I already told you about the kiss in Rome and the kiss in the Digital Bean, but Gordo kissed me at the park today, too! I think that he thinks that we're BF/GF, but I don't think so. I mean, he seems to have no problem kissing me, but even though I've liked him all of my life (since I met him, I guess), now that we're getting closer, I don't know if thats what I want. It's almost frightening when I see him now. Oh, Mir, I don't know how I'm supposed to act when my best friend kisses me. Should I talk to him or avoid him? Maybe I'll ask him over to my house and we can talk about it. What do you think?
The scariest thing of all is that the last two kisses meant more than the one in Rome, which is supposed to be the most romantic city in the world, right?
Well, enough about me! I'm really sorry that my emails have been so short, but whenever I mention Gordo, for some absurd reason, I start to cry. I'm crying a bit now, but nobody's at home to watch me. Anyway, what's up with you and Marco? You have to tell me EVERYTHING!! Please write back ASAP.

Make up your mind. Before I moved, we always talked about Ethan, and you would always chime in with, "But Gordo's cute too! And Smart!" Give him a chance. From what I've been told, which is, granted, not much, you haven't been around much and you two haven't talked much. Don't freak him out when you two talk, don't cry. Just, think about what you really want.
Sorry, can't talk. I think my starfish needs feeding or something, now that you ask questions see what it feels like to not have them answered.

Subject: Nothing to do with Lizzie!!
Randa!!!!
First things first. I'm sorry. (There are plenty more of those to come!) I've been totally ignorant of you and your feelings and am now here for yours truly, I will listen to anything you have to say and will give out any advice necessary. It's just that's what I usually do and I just wanted someone to listen to what's going on in my life for a change, so thank you for listening to my rants! I'm just gonna say a couple of sentences about Liz and that will be it…. For this email! I'm joking; I'll ignore the subject as much as possible!! But you did ramble on about her a lot in your last email! Anyway I'm wasting sentences! Basically all I have to say is has Lizzie really liked me that long? Why didn't she react differently to the kiss if that is true? She's been acting weird here as well, hanging around with Kate, flirting with Ethan etc and not boasting about it! That's all I'll say for now!
So YOU! Miranda Sanchez, tell me all you want to say about your life! I've open ears (well eyes) and am willing to listen (well read) to anything you need to get off your chest, even this 'Mark' no wait 'Marco' guy! (Got his name right after one guess, see I do pay attention!) Once again, I'm sorry for what I said before when you tried to talk about him. Looking back that was really bad of me and I guess in a way 'cuz my life with Lizzie is so screwed up here and we're falling apart since you left, I was kinda getting at you because you're life is running smoothly in Mexico without us. (Sorry mentioned her!) I hate the idea of you thinking you can't talk to me about stuff just 'cuz I was being a selfish prat!
You sound homesick. Are you okay? I can send you any pics or make a film of good old Hillbridge Junior High if you want. Or some of me, I'll pose for you; actually no I won't 'cuz that sounds sick and wrong!!! Are you planning on visiting at all? If you are I can steal you away so you can stay here and get away from the hundreds of relatives!!
Before I go I have some Spanish for you! See if you can figure it out!
El gatito al lado del sofá!!
Adios!
