Gordo had to beat himself up mentally that night. How could he have been
looking at other girls when he had the one he had wanted all his life? And
how could he have been looking at Miranda? She was one of his best friends.
He couldn't let that happen again...especially since they were going
swimming the next day...

" Have a good time at the pool, Lizzie! Be safe!" Mrs. McGuire yelled
before driving off and leaving Lizzie alone at the community pool. With her
towel and swimsuit in one hand, she walked up to the building and pushed
open the glass door. She gave the woman at the counter $15 and then went to
one of the bathrooms to change into her swimsuit. She couldn't wait 'till
Gordo saw her in this, she defiantly loved having a boyfriend. Especially
one that was really her friend. After she changed she went to one of the
mirrors in the bathroom to comb her hair but decided against it. It didn't
look horrible and besides she'd be getting it wet anyway. She walked out of
the bathroom and to one of the outside pools. There were a couple of other
people there and she saw Miranda laying in a beach chair reading a
magazine. She walked over to her and pulled down the magazine "Hey-" She
began to say but then she stopped. Miranda looked at Lizzie's bathing suit
and then at her own. Then she chuckled a bit. "I'm sorry, did we plan
this?" Miranda asked. Lizzie sat down on the beach chair on Miranda's
right. "No." She said a little too harshly. Miranda sat up.
"Hey, it's ok Lizzie. I sure no one will care we have on the same swimming
suit." Miranda said consolingly. Lizzie pulled some of her hair behind her
ears. "Yeah, you're right but...I was sorta wearing this for Gordo. You
know, a bathing suit with hearts on it 'cause we're goin' out...?"
Miranda winced. "Sorry. I guess great minds think alike" She said. Lizzie
sighed. "It's ok. We'll have fun anyway." She replied. But it wasn't ok.
She didn't like the fact that they were wearing the same swimsuit and
Miranda looked better in it.
Soon her worries were lifted away when she saw Gordo coming. She was so
lucky to have him as a boyfriend. He wasn't like other guys who only liked
girls because of what they looked like and like I said before, he really
was Lizzie's friend. Lizzie couldn't believe how stupid she had been
chasing Ethan and Palo when her perfect guy had been in her face from the
start. Gordo came and stared at Lizzie and Miranda both with a sort of
amused look on his face. (He tried very hard to just look at Miranda's
bathing suit and not her, even though it was a 2 piece.) "What are you
guys? The Bobsey Twins?" He asked with humor in his voice.
Lizzie scowled playfully. "Very funny." She said and gently pushed him into
the pool. Miranda smiled. The day had begun.
