Chapter 20
Thoughts
After a much less dramatic day in school, Gordo walked Lizzie to Miranda's house. Once they were there, Lizzie looked at him, and held both of his hands "Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked.
Lizzie nodded her head, "Gordo, I have never wanted to do anything so much in my life."
Gordo nodded his head, "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?"
Lizzie nodded her head, "Ordinarily I would, but I don't want her to feel like we are ganging up on her or anything.
Gordo nodded his head and squeezed her hands, "Good luck."
Lizzie took in a deep breath and said, "Thanks." It was then that she let go of Gordo's hands and gave a small wave.
"Call me tonight."
Lizzie nodded her head and walked toward Miranda's door. Once she was there, she rang the doorbell. Lizzie then waited for someone to answer.
A few seconds later, the door opened, and Mrs. Sanchez appeared. "Lizzie?" she said, looking at the blonde haired girl standing outside her house, "Is that you?"
Lizzie gave a small smile and nodded her head, "Yes m'am. Is Miranda here?" Lizzie asked, trying to hide the fact that she was overwhelmed with nervousness at this point, but she was pretty sure it showed.
Mrs. Sanchez nodded her head, "She is in the backyard, actually. You are welcome to go out there. It is such a pretty day."
Lizzie nodded her head. She walked into the backyard, and saw Miranda there, sitting on a chair, writing in what looked like a diary of some sort.

Miranda's Diary
Dear Diary,
A lot has happened in the past few days that makes me feel confused. For example, yesterday, when I arrived to school, I walked by the hall, I saw Lizzie and Gordo...together. I later found out from someone that Gordo and Lizzie are now an item, and even I, who is supposed to hate them both, have kind of realized that I am happy for them. When we were friends, I was just waiting for the two of them to start dating, but it never happened. After all of the commotion that occured a few years ago, I thought for sure that I would hate them as a couple, but it dawned on me as I heard someone claim that Lizzie was using him for grades that I really don't know what to feel. Strangely, I found myself sticking up for Lizzie. Does that mean that I don't hate Lizzie anymore? Does that mean that I am ready to come to terms with the past.
I have spent all this time finding reasons to hate the two people that used to be my best friends that I feel like I forgot how important they were to me. What happened a few years ago? To tell you the truth, I really don't remember the whole story. I only remember feeling betrayed. I only wish I talked to Lizzie and Gordo about it at the time. Maybe it was all a big misunderstanding. Maybe, just maybe, if Lizzie and Gordo are willing to forgive each other, they could find it in their hearts to forgive me. I miss my friends. I miss the friendships I had.
Who am I kidding? Not only is it too late for forgiveness, but the are probably still angry for me and all the things I said about the two of them behind their back. I wish Lizzie and Gordo would see that I have changed, or at least tried to. I am disappointed in myself that it took seeing them together to realize how much I missed them and that I never apologized.
I wish there was someway I could convince them that I have changed recently. They probably think about me as this popular bitch who doesn't give a damn about anyone else. The thing is, I do give a damn about other people, I am just a coward. I am also miserable. I never feel like I can trust anyone. Maybe, some day, when I have enough courage, I will confront Lizzie and tell her I am sorry. Then, I will also apologize to Gordo.
Miranda

"Hey," Lizzie said to Miranda, still nervous.
Miranda jumped. Did she just hear what she thought she heard? She turned around, to see Lizzie standing there, with a small smile.
"Hi," Miranda said, and she quickly shut her diary.
"Miranda, can we talk?" Lizzie asked, after taking a deep breath.
By the expression on Miranda's face, Lizzie figured that she wouldn't want to talk, but to her surprise, Miranda nodded her head, "Sure, take a seat." Miranda pointed to the chair next to her, and Lizzie sat down.
