[: Author's Note :]
I got a few reviews on my first chapter, which are, of course, some of the perks of slaving away at the computer.. Ha, just kidding. I'm doing this to release my creative [or uncreative] energies.
Anywho, this chapter might be a little short, but I had to get a little bit of Lizzie and Miranda in before their freshmen year starts. Now that we get on the subject of short chapters, I'm warning you now.. There will be times when my chapters are incredibly short, but I always have a reason for it. Maybe a cliff-hanger or because I need to express the rest of things in another chapter.. Just giving you a little notice. ^-^

The stars twinkled brightly in the blue-black heavens, illuminating the hearts of the lonely and inspiring those without hope.. Far below, two pairs of eyes, one hazel and one brown, were gazing up at this wondrous sight.
The owners of these eyes were lying side by side on a blue blanket that covered dark green grass.. They were both girls dressed in tank top and shorts pajama sets; the one with the hazel eyes had blond hair drawn in a tight braid and was dressed in light pink, while the one with brown eyes had black hair in pigtails and was dressed in light blue.
The blond one let out a long, wistful sigh, tearing her eyes away from the sky to turn onto her side. She gazed passively at her friend before saying softly, "Miranda?"
The girl with ebony pigtails, now called Miranda, chose not to look away from the glistening stars, merely asking dreamily, "Hmm?"
The blonde's lips formed a slight smile, tucking long strands of loose hair behind her ears and questioning for the umpteenth time, "What do you think high school will be like?"
Miranda rolled onto her side as well, reluctantly shifting her gaze from above. "Lizzie! Ever since you got over your fear of high school at camp, you will not stop asking that question!"
The newly dubbed Lizzie shrugged sheepishly. "I dunno.. I guess I'm just getting a little excited since we start tomorrow."
Miranda grinned and shook her head. "I'm sure it will be great.. And we'll get to see Gordo for the first time in like.. Forever!"
The blonde's hazel eyes lit up and she looked away to avoid revealing how thrilled she was, but was still caught in the act..
"Lizzie.. What was that about?" Miranda then slyly added, "I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."
The blond suddenly started to pout, "Why couldn't we just have seen him today? I'm surprised he didn't come barging over to my house, searching for us!"
Miranda sat up and started rubbing her hands together. "It's all a part of my master plan.." As soon as she heard that, Lizzie rolled her eyes.
Ever since Lizzie had told Miranda of all she'd missed while in Mexico, like the mystery party and Gordo's message in her yearbook and the kiss, Miranda was stuck on getting them together. She'd known for years that her friends liked each other.. They were just blind that the other shared their feelings.
Miranda continued, despite Lizzie's eye-roll, "You see.. Gordo hasn't seen you all summer and believe me, you've changed a lot! He will be totally blown away by your amplified beauty, that he'll just have to ask you out! Oh yeah.. Remember how we took a picture of you when we went to camp and then again before we left? Well, I have the pictures right now...."
Lizzie squealed and jumped up, "Why didn't you say so!? Gimme!"
Miranda took her backpack that had went unnoticed from the edge of the blanket, pulling out two pictures and handing them over. Lizzie snatched them up and looked upon them with eagerness.. She was genuinely shocked.
The before picture was just the same old Lizzie, but the after effect seemed totally different.. She noticed that she was now tanner, more slender and more curvy. Even her chest looked at little bigger.. She looked great. Still, she had her doubts..
"I dunno.. I don't want anything to ruin our friendship. Maybe we should just give up? It just wasn't meant to be.." Lizzie frowned, shoving the pictures back at Miranda. This time, it was Miranda's turn to roll her eyes.
She crossed her arms and eyed her blond amiga with disbelief, "Lizzie! How could you say that? You guys will always be friends and the two of you were a match made in heaven.. Plus, you can't say it wasn't meant to be if you haven't even tried anything yet!"
Lizzie sighed and nodded regretfully, "Let's just get through this first week of school and we'll see where this goes.."
After having said that, Lizzie watched her ebony-headed friend smile victoriously. She shook her head with a slight smile, gazing back up at the bright heavens with newfound hope that she just might have gotten from the skies..
