Roxy slumped against Lizzie's locker, a cumbersome biology book in her hands. Lizzie groaned as she twisted her locker combination.
"Why in high school do they seem to think that homework on the first day is appropriate? They never tortured us like this in middle school." Roxy smiled as Miranda and Kate walked up to Lizzie's locker together. Miranda sighed.
"Anyone have Mr. Johanson for Biology?" All the group nodded sadly. Homework on the first day blues were high in the air. Roxy grinned as the group headed out the double doors.
"I call an Oreo Girls meeting at Lizzie's!" Lizzie, Miranda and Roxy began chatting like mad as Kate raised her hand.
"Question. What are the Oreo Girls?" Roxy slapped her forehead and apologized for forgetting Kate. Kate shrugged her acceptance.
"Lizzie and I started the Oreo Girls when we were...well, still girls. It's like our own candy and cookie filled study group. And even though we do most of the homework, it is also a fun-filled session for girl talk!" Kate nodded, listening intently. Lizzie's eyes lit up with an idea.
"Hey Kate, if you aren't busy would you..."
"I would love to! Let me call my mom," Kate finished with glee, flipping open a pink cell phone diecorated with cute red hearts. Miranda eyes drifted to it for a second and Kate noticed. That cell phone cover was trademark cheerleader.
"There are some advantages for hanging out with Claire all those years," she joked, referring to the cell phone. Lizzie laughed as they all walked to Lizzie's--together.

Gordo didn't know why he couldn't keep his mind off of the comment that Ethan made during lunch. 'Why aren't Lizzie and I dating?' he would ask himself time and time again. Larry and Ethan startled him from his thoughts as the trio sat around the Gordon's dining room table. Little did Lizzie and Company know that the guys had a similar Oreo Group, only with pizza.
"So," Larry began, taking a slice of pepperoni from the center pie, "why aren't you and Lizzie dating now?" Gordo eyed him suspiciosly, secretly wondering if Larry could indeed read minds. Gordo shrugged.
"I don't know. I never thought this day would come Ethan, but do you have any advice on this issue?" Ethan looked up from his slice of pizza and looked deep in thought for a moment. Gordo scoffed inwardly. Ethan...thinking deep. That was a change.
"You and Lizzie have been kida tight for the middle school time and now I think that you are both scared to venture into the unknown territory of dating." Gordo and Larry looked over at each other---impressed.
"You know Ethan, this day doesn't come often, but I think that you are actually right."

As the four girls walked through the front door, Jo was there to greet them all, with Roxy's suitcases in hand. Jo paused though, as she looked over at Kate. Her eyes widened. Lizzie smiled and motioned to her old friend.
"Mom, is it alright if Kate hangs around for our Oreo Group?" Jo smiled a broad smile.
"Of course it is!" Lizzie and the girls gathered into the kitchen to grab all of the junk food that they could find, and ran upstairs giggling. Sam walked through the front door and gazed in curiosity up the stairwell. He pointed the newspaper up in that direction.
"Was that Kate?" Jo nodded. Sam shook his head.
"Things definately are changing around here."
Lizzie flopped onto her bed and the others gathered in a semi-circle around her room.
(AN-- [stuffs food in her mouth and has nailpolish in hand] It's like the good old days all over again.)
Miranda and Roxy pulled open a bag of the traditional Oreos and picked out some. Kate popped open a soda and sat Indian style next to Roxy.
"So," Roxy began officially, "let us begin. I would like to congratulate Kate on her descision to be in the Group, we all welcome you!" Kate pretended to accept this praise with her highest regard. After studying for an hour, Lizzie grumbled.
"The periodic table...ugh." Roxy tossed her book aside and so did the other three. They all sat and stared at Lizzie.
"What?" Roxy smiled.
"Gordo....so, spill." Lizzie blushed slightly.
(AN-- [opens book and props it in front of face] Couldn't we just stick to the periodic table?)
"I mean, why don't you and Gordo give this dating thing a try? You two are totally MFEO!" (Author's note-- I couldn't resist! I love the movie Sleepless in Seattle, and this is where Roxy's line came from. Go on now, continue to read!)
Lizzie sighed inwardly. Everything in her wanted to date Gordo, so why was she afraid to take the plunge? Kate twisted on the carpet.
"I am so not ready for this test on Friday." Roxy nodded her head in agreement. Miranda smiled mischieviously.
"You guys know where I go to help me study?"
"Digital Bean?"
"No, I go to the park over on Blossom Street. It really helps you relax." The group thought about this and decided to renew their inner child, as they headed off to the park.

"Gordon man, I think that we need more grub here," Ethan replied after glancing in the Gordon's fridge. Gordo scoffed and Larry shook his head in disbelief.
"Ethan, man, you polished off a pizza and are still hungry?" Larry asked. Ethan nodded and patted his stomach. Gordo grabbed his house keys and grumbled.
"Let's go to that vender down by the park for hotdogs...my treat."
