"High school! High school! I can't believe I'm in High school!" Lizzie
whispered to Miranda and Gordo that first day of school at lunch. "Neither
can I." Miranda responed. " I thought having to go to the same school as
Kate would have killed me by now." Lizzie and Gordo both laughed. "That's
another great thing about High school. Kate has to try to be popular all
over again." Lizzie said. "Yep, it's not a given anymore. She has to make
700 more people afraid of her." Miranda replied.
Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo had all expected the worse from High school.
However, it turned out to be just the opposite. All the teachers were cool,
all the classes was fun, and all the work was easy. Of course it was just
the first day of school, but at least their four years at Hillridge High
has started out with a bang. After lunch, the three went to their next
class, expecting it to be a cool, fun, and easy as the other. Little did
they know that nothing about Ms. Web was cool, fun, or easy. All their
other classes let them sit wherever they wanted. Ms. Web assigned seats.
Their other classes started out with attendence. Ms. Web's started out with
a 30 minute lecture on how High school was a lot different from middle
school and how High school wasn't a playground. The other classes work were
reviews of some things they had learned in middle school. Ms. Web's started
right away with advanced algebra.
Unfortunatley, Ethan didn't understand anything that they were supposed to
do and got the harshest verbal beating of his life that begun with "You
imbecil!" and ended with " I don't even know how you passed first grade!"
Leaving Web's class was a relief to them all. " I know Ethan might not be
the smartest person in the world, but I can't help feeling sorry for him. I
mean, what Web said what just cruel." Gordo said as headed to their next
class. " Yeah." Lizzie responded. "And she managed to suck the fun out of
math! I didn't believe anyone could suck the fun out of math!"
" I did." Miranda mumbled. "Well, that's 'cause you don't like it." Lizzie
said. " Yea it must be tough having your favorite subject being taught by a
complete and total bitch!" Miranda replied. Lizzie and Gordo both did a
little collective gasp. "Miranda!" Lizzie said. "I can't believe you just
said that!"
"Well, it's true." Gordo replied. Lizzie slipped her hand into Gordo's. "
I'm your girfriend. You're supposed to agree with me." She joked. Gordo
smiled. "Ok, I will." He said and gave her a quick peck on the mouth.
Miranda abruptly turned her head and looked at the ground. It's just weird,
Miranda thought. One minute they're friends and then the next minute
they're kissing. I mean. she loved that they were happy but maybe they
didn't have to be so happy together in front of her. Didn't they care about
her feelings? Didn't they know she might be jealous, especially of Lizzie
since she had the perfect guy? Miranda looked up and looked at them smiling
at each other. A pang of jealousy so strong came over her that she almost
felt like it would knock her down. But she couldn't be jealous of Lizzie
because then that'd mean she liked...Gordo.
