Sitting on a bench outside of the local mall, Miranda slurped her slurpee
and waited to see her two best friends again since 2 months. She wondered
whether they had changed. They didn't seem like they had changed when she
called them on the phone last night. Still, the thought of Lizzie turning
into Kate frightened Miranda a bit and she got a serious brain freeze that
wasn't from the slurpee. Suddenly, from across the parking lot, Miranda saw
Lizzie running to get to her. It was kinda corny, like a scene from a bad
movie, but neither one cared. They had missed each other so much. After
Lizzie had waited for a couple of cars to pass through, they ran straight
up to each other and gave one another a hug. "Ohmigosh, Miranda! I've
missed you soo much!" Lizzie said, letting go of her friend. "I know, me
too" Miranda replied. "I mean Gordo is great, but he's not a girl and ever
since we've been going out everything's changed a bit." Miranda didn't like
the sound of that. The last thing she'd want is for her two best friends to
break up. If that happened, then what would happen to their three-way
friendship?
"What do you mean?" Miranda asked tentatively.
" Well, like, before I had no problem telling him when I found other guys
cute but now, if I do I don't know how he's gonna react, like if he's gonna
flip out or somethin'."
Miranda breathed a sigh of relief. "Good." She said. " I thought it was
something worse than that."
Then, almost out of nowhere, Gordo appeared. Miranda nearly didn't
recognize him. He was a couple of noticeable inches taller. Though he
wasn't tall, he was an average height for a guy his age when before he had
been seriously lagging behind. And his curly, dark hair had grown out alot
since the last time she saw him. A thick, dark line had grown on his top
lip, almost like he was trying to grow a mustache. And his clothes were a
tinier bit edgier, almost "bad boy" but not quite.
"Wow!" Miranda said coming up to him to give him a hug. "You have totally
changed since the last time I saw you."
"Maybe on the outside." He replied. "But not on the inside. I'm still the
same old Gordo." Miranda let go of him and smiled. "You sure are." She
said.
"So I was thinking that maybe first we could get a bite to eat 'cause I'm
starvin' since my mickey-mouse-lookin'-brother used the last of the milk
for his stupid cocoa puffs and all that was left in the house was
applesauce and some crackers." Lizzie said. "I dunno..." Miranda replied.
"I'm not really hungry..." But soon Gordo had tuned out of the conversation
of plans. Even though he hadn't thought he had changed much, he thought
Miranda did.
She was wearing a pretty short plaid skirt, with short black boots on. She
had on a tight, white, spaghetti strap shirt on that had the word "Cutie"
running across it vertically. She accessorized with a couple of chain
bracelets and a chain necklace with a cross on the end. Her bangs had
grown out a bit and laid on the side of her face instead of directly on her
forehead and her hair was in four plaits with a folded bandanna tied around
her head.
Her style hadn't changed much but it looked different on her now and Gordo
couldn't figure out why. And then he knew. She had matured alot in Mexico.
Though he didn't want to admit it, even to himself, he had noticed that her
breasts were larger and her hips were curvier. She had the perfect tan to
top off her new body. Gordo had to admit it: Miranda was hot.
