Author's note: Since nobody reviewed for the last chapter I would like at least one person to review and tell me that this story sucks so that I could just give up on it...if someone out there actually liked it I would appreciate and review about that too...

Chapter 2

SweetSassyCool: Mom and Dad decided that since it's the last 2 weeks of school I can be let off my summer grounding early.

ChoirSingerGirl: That's good Lizzie

SweetSassyCool: Yeah, listen though Gordo called earlier and he wants to meet at the Digital Bean in like an hour. Do you think you can go?

ChoirSingerGirl: I'd have to ask my parents, but I don't really see a problem with it.

SweetSassyCool: Great! Meet us in an hour OK?

Just as Miranda is about to type a response to Lizzie's IM another one pops up over Lizzie's.

DancnGrlTwn: So have your parents made a decision yet?

Miranda smiles and begins to type the response:

ChoirSingerGirl: Hello to you too Kristine.

DancnGrlTwn: I'm sorry it's just we are leaving for school tomorrow and Colin and I want to know if you are going to be there when we get there. Not to mention Ford, he's been there for three days and I am getting constant emails from him asking if I have heard from you yet.

ChoirSingerGirl: You have not!

DancnGrlTwn: I have so...but don't change the topic have your parents made a decision yet?

ChoirSingerGirl: No, they haven't they are coming up in 15 minutes with a decision. They promised me yesterday they would have come to a conclusion by noon.

DancnGrlTwn: Gr8t! Listen though my parents want me to be totally packed before we go out for lunch so I will check by in like 20 minutes OK?

ChoirSingerGirl: All right, cya then!

SweetSassyCool: Miranda? In an hour OK?

ChoirSingerGirl: Sorry Lizzie, ya that's fine I might be a little late tho.

SweetSassyCool: Great, listen though I have to go I promised my mom I would do a ton of chores if I could go out tonight.

Miranda has just signed off the internet when the soft knock of her mother comes. "Come in!" Miranda calls.

Following her mother in is her father and both wear unreadable expressions, "we have come to a conclusion Miranda." Miranda's father states slowly.

Miranda nods, without saying a word as her mother leads her to the bed and states, "we wish you would have told us you were sending an application into Worthington, so that we would have some sort of warning, instead of can I go? School starts in a week."

Miranda nods, "I know, I'm sorry about that. I really didn't expect to be accepted. It's so hard to get in. And Kristine and everyone wanted me to try so I didn't see the harm in it. Especially since I didn't think that in a million years they would have accepted me."

Miranda's father nods, "we understand that. That's why, because it is such a prestigious high school that it would probably be a great opportunity for you to attend."

Miranda's eyes go wide as the words begin to sink in, "I can go?"

Miranda's mother hugs her tightly, "You can go."

Miranda clings to her mother stunned that she had been told that she could go.

"Honey I would love to be able to talk all the details over with you but I really have to get going back to work." Her father states moving in to hug his daughter, "you're mother will tell you all of the details and rules."

"Thank you so much Dad." Miranda hugs her father again before he walks out of her door.

"Miranda, sweetie are you sure about this?" Miranda's mother asks. "I'm not sure you have considered every angle of it. I understand that you have gotten really close with Kristine and Colin and the others, and that camp was a lot of fun. But have you considered the fact that you aren't going to be going to High school with the two people you have known your entire life?"

Miranda sighs and pulls her knees to her chest, in all honestly she hadn't really considered that she wouldn't be going to high school with Lizzie and Gordo. Since school got out she hadn't really seen much of either one of them, first she had been in Mexico City and when she got back they were in Rome, and then it was their trip to Rome along with her camp. And by the time everyone was back home Lizzie had been grounded for the rest of the summer and Gordo had been doing a lot of high school preparation stuff. Leaving Miranda to spend a lot of time on the internet and on the phone with her friends. Both Ford and Adam had gone to school two weeks early and had come down for the weekend before and Miranda had had fun showing them around town, taking them to the Digital Bean and all the other places she had assumed she would be spending time with Lizzie and Gordo. Miranda had also spent a lot of time with Misty; Misty actually only lived in the next town over and since neither one of their mothers worked they were able to get together often.

Miranda shakes her head, "I honestly haven't really considered it Mom."

Miranda's mother gives her a gentle smile, "I figured that you hadn't."

"They aren't going to like it that I am not going to school with them." Miranda sighs again.

"Maybe not at first, but I'm sure they will realize after awhile that this is a good chance for you."

Miranda bites her lip, "I hope so."

"Miranda there's another thing, we will come get you at home as often as you can, but I can't guarantee that it will be all the time. We still have all of you brother's and sister's sports and everything to run around too."

Miranda nods, "I understand, you'll bring me home when you can."

"MOM!!!!!" Miranda's little sister's scream comes from downstairs. "Joe won't stop pushing me!"

Miranda's mother rolls her eyes and pushes herself off Miranda's bed, "I'm so proud of you sweetie."

"Thanks mom. Oh can I meet Lizzie and Gordo at the Digital Bean? I should probably tell them soon, I want to leave this weekend."

"Yes, that's fine sweetie, I'll start pulling out stuff so you can pack."

As soon as Miranda's mother leaves her room she signs back onto the internet, looking at her buddy list she can't help but laugh:

FordMarksWHS

SoccerGuyTwn

MistyKeithWHS

AdamMooreWHS

Then instant Miranda signs on she gets an invite to a chatroom.

MistyKeithWHS: So what'd they say are you going to be joining us at good ol' WHS?

ViolinChoirGirl: They said....

SoccerGuyTwn: Well?

ViolinChoirGirl: They said they are proud of me and that I have to start packing!

FordMarkWHS: Miranda that's great! When are you getting in?

ViolinChoirGirl: Probably Saturday some time. Colin, Kristine when are you guys getting in?

SoccerGuyTwn: Lunchtime Saturday, we are leaving early Saturday morning.

ViolinChoirGirl: Then we should probably get there about the same time.

MistyKeithWHS: When I got here I met the woman who is in charge of our room assignments. They had us in 3 separate, double rooms. So I convinced Mrs. Summers, that's the woman, that we would be willing to take the one triple room that no one wants and the other girls can have the doubles.

SoccerGuyTwin: Kristine wants to know if it worked.

MistyKeithWHS: Yup! She was so thrilled because no one ever wants the room because everyone hates sharing a bathroom with another person, let alone two other people. So everyone always complains, we saved her day, you guys are just going to crack up when you meet her, she's a riot.

ViolinChoirGirl: So then by Saturday we will all be there.

AdamMooreWHS: Good, it's been getting boring around here.

ViolinChoirGirl: Don't worry Adam we will liven things around here. But listen guys I have to go tell my friends that I am leaving in 3 days, so I will talk to you all later. If not I will see you Saturday.

"Miranda!" Lizzie exclaims hugging her friend tightly.

"Hi Lizzie." Miranda greets, with less enthusiasm then her best friend. "Hi Gordo." Miranda hugs her other best friend as well.

"Hey Miranda."

Biting her lips Miranda decides that she has to just come out with her news, "Guys there is something I have to tell you."
