~*~ Hey, I made a mistake...a dumb mistake at that.. Stan Lizzy's Father in the last chapter...errmmm..his name is supposed to be Sam. Forgive me, I know you want to. ~*~

Miranda takes her time getting to the park, breathing in the fresh September air. Walking slowly, making sure she doesn't lost the rock that she's kicking, her only excitement for the moment. Little does she know when she arrives at the park, there'll be more excitement than she hoped for, and not the kind she wants.
It's two days before they start their very first day of High School, and having Gordo win this award tonight would be the perfect way to start.
Miranda glances up and notices a very handsome figure running her way. She looks past he runner to the bench that she's to meet Lizzy at. Half-shocked and half-relieved that she doesn't see her. "Hey Miranda" "Ethan! Hey.. ha-have you seen Lizzy?" She says nervously. "Uh no.. I was going to ask you the same..." "You were? Why?" Miranda is shocked and in disbelief. "I.. uh.. just wanted to talk to her.. I mean I.. I don't have a date for tonight and I uh... wanted to know if she wanted to go with me.." Miranda stumbles back a step. That's not fair! Lizzy likes Gordo, and Gordo obviously likes her, Miranda likes Ethan, he's not suppose to like Lizzy! "I'll let her know.." She says with a little sadness in her voice. "Thanks Miranda" He continues running. She turns to watch him until he is out of site. You're dreaming Miranda.. he'll never fall for you.. he's into your best friend..
She walks over to the bench and sits down. After about 5 minutes of just sitting there enjoying the view of the fenced in fishpond. She looks at her watch. 8:20.. Lizzy was suppose to be here at 8:00. She wouldn't be late.. OK, yes she would, but not 20 minutes late.. OK, yes she would.. But not today, not the day of the awards ceremony. Sensing that something is wrong, she gets up and runs to the Maguire Household.
Once she arrives she runs upstairs to Lizzy's room. The first thing she notices is the mount of hair that rest on the bed, and then she see's Lizzy still standing in the mirror. A little scared to talk Miranda walks over to Lizzy and stands looking at her. She takes Lizzy's hand in her own. "Lizzy?" Lizzy's eyes meet Miranda's. "Look at me Miranda... Look." Miranda keeps her eye contact with her best friend. "Miranda, I'm dying.." Miranda's eyes well up with tears, a single tear trickles down her cheek. "How do you know? Did you go to the doctor? Why didn't you tell me Liz?" Tears are freely falling down from her eyes now. There is no stopping the two girls go into a friendly embrace. "My hair fell out, my skin is bright orange, I think that's pretty clear Miranda.. I'm dying."
They hear laughter coming from the doorway, they turn around to see Matt laughing hysterically. He looks at them and shouts "YES!!" with plenty of excitement in his voice. Miranda's tears stop, while Lizzy cried harder. "My own brother is happy I'm dying.." Miranda looks to Matt with hatred in her eyes. "Wait until she's gone Matt, see how happy you are then.. Your sister is dying Matthew Maguire!" Matt stops laughing at once. "Dying?" he says with a little fear in his voice. "Yes Matt! Look at her! Her hair is falling out and her skin is orange." Immediately after, the laughter begins again. "She's not dying!! She lost her hair because I put hair remover in her shampoo bottle and her skin is orange because I put a mixture of food coloring in her body wash." Lizzy and Miranda look at each other and smile because Lizzys not dying. That makes Matt stop laughing.. When the older sister smiles after one of his pranks, he knows he's in for it. Lizzy looks at Matt. "You better hope you've improved on your running skills since the last time you made me mad."
