Chapter 4

The next day at school seemed to be going slow and that Gordo and Miranda weren't really talking that much at lunch. Lizzie watched as Miranda was writing something in a notebook of hers and Gordo was playing with his mashed potatoes that was sitting on his lunch tray.

" So guys...how was your day so far," Lizzie asked as she waited for a respond but only got a shrug from Gordo " Well at least I got something from Gordo. What is going on here"

" I have to go to my locker and than to class," said Miranda as she stood up and picked up her backpack and threw it over her shoulder. She glanced over at Gordo and smiled than looked at Lizzie and slightly grin and than walked out the cafeteria.

" I better be going myself" said Gordo as he began to stand up out of his seat when Lizzie's place her hand on his arm.

" Don't, I really need someone to sit and chat with me," said Lizzie

" Why don't you call up Ronny and ask him to eat lunch with you," Gordo said in sarcasm.

" Because you are my best friend Gordo and I neither eat lunch with you," said Lizzie.

" Why. I am not Mr. Right," said Gordo as he started to gather up his stuff.

" This is not fair. why are you guys treating me like this. I am trying," said Lizzie

" So you have to try now to be are best friends," said Miranda as she stood behind Lizzie. Lizzie turned around and glanced over at Miranda with hurt in her eyes.

" That is not what I meant, you know that right," said Lizzie as she watched Miranda roll her eyes at her " What about you Gordo"

" I dont know what to believe anymore Liz, but i think if you really care about us than you would break up with Ronny," said Gordo.

" Well if you guys really cared about me, you would be happy for me that I finally find the person that I loved," said Lizzie.

" So its true what Gordo said, you do love him," said Miranda.

" Yes i do, is that a problem," asked Lizzie

" No its fine. It shows how much you rather love Ronny than love Gordo," said Miranda as she than knew what she said and tried to think of something else to say.

" What..," said Lizzie as she looked at her in shock. Gordo looked at Miranda as if he was going to kill her.

" I mean not just Gordo. I was including myself but not in a gay like way or anything that seems

like it sounded wrong and..."

" I think she got the message Miranda," said Gordo as he sat back down in his sit.

" I do love you guys but I love him to. I don't see why this is destroying our friendship" said Lizzie

" Look, I really don't want to talk about this anymore," said Miranda

" Me either," said Gordo

" Fine than we wont. Everything will go back to normal than right," asked Lizzie

" Sure whatever," said Miranda as she walked away for the last time. Lizzie watched her go and than looked over at Gordo who had his head on the table.

" I am not doing this on purpose. I really do care about you, Gordo and Miranda," said Lizzie as she put her hand on his shoulder.

" Liz, I think you should leave me alone for awhile. I need to think things over," said Gordo

" Okay, fine I can do that but just to let you know I am not giving up, I don't care how much you and Miranda hate me now," said Lizzie as she walked out of the Cafeteria leaving Gordo staring at her.
