wrong, just let me know. Thanks a bunch!!Domi- I am very glad you like it. Like I say to everyone, if you see
something wrong or have any suggestions for the story, just review. Thank
you very much for reviewing!!Pup Dog- Listen, I know this is Lizzie McGuire category, but I thought
way too many stories focused on just Lizzie and Gordo. This story goes more
on Miranda and Gordo (I'm not saying they are a couple just yet!) but
Lizzie still will be in the story. Little hint: Todd won't be in the story
for long. If you ever have any ideas for the story, let me know ok. Thanks
for review any way though. I really appreciate it!!!blonde-angel- I am very glad you like it. If you ever have any
suggestions or catch a mistake or something like that, let me know. I
believe that a good story is based on its readers. Thanks for reviewing.
You have no idea how relieved I am to know that people like my story.l3itterSweet- I'm glad you like. Thank you very much for reviewing. I'm
always open for comments about improvements but don't be too harsh. Thanks
a bunch!!!TheGenkiGirl- Hey, I'm glad you reviewed and I'm glad you like it. As
always, feel free to point something out if you see something wrong or if
you just like something. Thanks for reviewing!!!!Never- You are so right. There are too many Lizzie stories. There are
other characters. I mean I still am a fan of Lizzie, but I can relate more
to Miranda. Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you enjoy my story!!!!~~

The night that Miranda kicked Gordo out of the house, Gordo went to the park. He sat on the swings and thought about what had been happening lately. Before Lizzie had left, he was completely in love with her. His world evolved around Lizzie. When she had broke the news to him, he felt horrible. He didn't want Lizzie to leave him. After a somewhat painful goodbye, he moped around for most of the day at Miranda's house. When he had finally stopped, he thought about how nice it was for him to actually do the talking while somebody listened. Miranda had been kind enough to listen and offer her advice. He often thought it very selfish of him to be talking about Lizzie to Miranda. He hadn't actually had a conversation with *just* Miranda in a while so he didn't know what she was like anymore or if she even still liked Ethan. He was even starting to wonder if he should ask her out because of all she had done for him in just those few days. He was planning how he would do that when he got the mail that one day. A letter from Lizzie sure did brighten his day. She had told him she still loved him and couldn't wait till she could see him again. When he read this, all his thoughts of Miranda had left. His mind was again on Lizzie. So, to celebrate his happiness, he went to Miranda's. There, he had read his letter and only got a confused look on Miranda's face. He wondered why. He found a pink envelope on Miranda's desk and automatically knew it was Lizzie's. When he had it and was opening it, however, Miranda stole it as if she was trying to hide something. So after he had temporarily gotten rid of Miranda, he read the letter. He couldn't believe what was happening. He was hurting inside. He was completely jealous. So, in an attempt to get back at Lizzie, he tried to use Miranda. She knew what he was doing and immediately threw him out. He knew it was wrong of him to do this in the first place. Why would you do something like that to someone who just gave you advice and actually gave the respect that he had always wanted. Never ever did you use one friend to make another jealous, especially if all three of you are friends. He decided to wait about a week for Miranda to cool down. If he went sooner, it would seem like he didn't think about it. So Gordo waited for a week. He called Miranda and it seemed she was never home or she never answered the phone. He often drove past her house and found that she was home so she must have obviously got his messages. He thought about stopping by her house, but every time she was home, there was another car there. He didn't want to make a scene so he never stopped. About a month after she kicked him out of her house and only a week left for Lizzie to return he went to Wendy's where he found her sitting with another guy. He looked to be of Mexican decent. Gordo found a table that was in the perfect spot so he could listen to her conversation. They were talking about a car show that was going on later this week. He knew exactly where it was going to be so he decided to find her there.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gordo had gone to the carshow to find Miranda. There were tons of cars and people. He walked around for a little while and got to see some pretty tight cars. He kept on walking and soon heard Latin Hip Hop/ Rap playing. He walked past there, but he didn't see her. However, he had onece told Lizzie over the phone that she had met this guy and they were both friends. She had also described him. (They 3-wayed) Gordo spotted a guy that looked like the description she had mention so he started to walk to him. However, a couple of rough looking vatos grabbed him by the arms and lifted him up before he could even get to the guy. They took him straight to where Miranda's friend was sitting.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I want to see Miranda."
The guys holding Gordo addressed her friend as Angelo. They were arguing with him in Spanish when finally the set Gordo down violently. They seemed pissed off at Angelo's decision.
"Mia's at the old aeropuerto. I suggest you wait until tomorrow to see her."
"I have to go and find her *now*."
Gordo had wondered why she was at the old airport. There was nothing there unless that guy at Wendy's took her there. He left and went as fast as his beater car would go to the old airport. To his surprise, there was a lot of activity going on at the old airport. There were cars lining up on the runways for some odd reason. He spotted Miranda's BMW pretty far back in the line. As he started to near the line, he heard engines revving. He looked to the front of the line just in time to see both of the cars up there take off. It was like street racing. Gordo had no clue at all that Miranda was a racer. It seemed he was getting out of touch with her over the years. He walked up next to her car (which was really close to the start line now) and was about to call her name when he heard the guy in the car next to her talking to her. He decided to listen.
"You should be watching from the side. I wouldn't want to get any exhaust on that pretty face." He said.
"How bout you put your money where you're mouth is?" she said.
"How bout I race you for that sweet little ass?"
"If you want ass, hit Hollywood Blvd. You want an adrenaline rush, it'll be too large." She pulled out a large wad of cash. "Right here right now."
Since when did Miranda cuss? And since when did she get rich? All this time, Gordo was thinking about what an idiot he had been for not keeping up with Miranda's style. He didn't think he could race like her. He was never a fan of going over the speed limit. Every time he got a ride with Miranda, however, he had to hang on to the 'oh shit' bar (the handle above the windows that you hang onto when you feel uncomfortable) because she was always going way over the speed limit and making sharp turns. She was truly a daredevil.
The guy in the other car then pulled out a rolled up money wad himself. As they got closer to the lines, they started to rev their engines. As soon as the guy at the starting line signaled for them to go, they were tied. He started to pull ahead but soon she hit a button on the steering wheel. Gordo knew Miranda went fast. There was no need for her to be using NOS but he figured if she were going to win, it would be better to use it. She picked up speed and won the race. He watched her collect the other guy's money and pull up to a trailer. She got out and went inside. He ran to the trailer. He knocked on the door and Miranda answered.
"Hey Mia, who is it?"
"No one. Hey, I'm gonna go for a walk. Watch my car ok."
She closed the door and looked at Gordo.
"Can we go for a ride?" He said, signaling toward his car.
She didn't say anything. She just walked towards his car and waited for him to open the door. Once she got in, she didn't say a word. Neither did he so they drove in silence. Gordo took Miranda away from the city. He took her to a spot that was half way up the mountain. It was a scenic over look of the city. It was quiet and breath taking. They sat in quiet for a bit before he spoke up.
"I.um called you.ah.a couple times. Did you get my messages?"
"Mmm hmm."
"Why didn't you call back?"
"I had friends over."
"So what about the times when you didn't have friends?"
"I was busy."
"Yes, I'm sure you were. You seemed very busy with that guy at Wendy's."
"What does it matter if I hang out with people? I *can* have a life can't I?!" She exclaimed. That was another thing about Miranda. She had this bad habit of losing her temper fast.
"Usually it doesn't matter. But if I'm calling you so I can tell you how I feel and I find you with some other guy, then it matters."
"Fine, if you have something to tell me, then tell me now." She said irritated.
"Ok, fine. Miranda, I've been calling you so I can tell you how I feel. Miranda, I'm sorry I tried to use you to get back at Lizzie. It was wrong. I've done a lot of thinking about this Miranda. I don't care if Lizzie comes back with a guy or empty handed. All I know is that I want to be with you. In fact, I could care less if Lizzie comes back or not. All I know is the night I found out about the other guy, I acted horribly. I felt like shit. But now, I just realized that when I see you with other guys, I feel like shit. Miranda, I need you. You keep me happy. You feed my soul. I just really want to be with you. So now, I'm going to ask you to be my girlfriend. You can say yes or no. Either way, I still want to be friends."
There was an awkward silence in which Miranda didn't look at Gordo but just at the city.
"Um, this is the part where you are supposed to answer."
"Gordo, do you remember the summer of eight grade when all of you went to Rome and me to Mexico?"
"Yeah. But what does this have to do with."
"Well," she interrupted, "Something happened that summer between you and Lizzie. I never got the details and could have cared less about them. All I knew was that supposedly Lizzie kissed you. I knew damn well that you like her. So, there is this cute couple. Both are too shy to admit that they like each other. Then, one day in ninth grade, Lizzie comes up to me and tells me that you two finally admitted and that you were going out. This hurt me inside. You see Gordo; I had really liked you too. I was upset that Lizzie got to go out with you and not me."
Gordo tried to interrupt her but she had put a finger on his lips.
"So, I continued to take things normally. Like how we used to eat together at lunch every day. It was ok in the beginning. It started to get unbearable when both of you would hold hands across the table and look into each other's eyes. So while you all were busy doing that, I was busy listening to the jock table. There, I found out what a guy wanted. I started to dress almost like Kate had. Tight little pants and skirts. Tight little shirts that revealed waaaay too much were another thing that came into style for me. So, I decided to sit by myself. Sitting with you two seemed to intimidate a lot of guys. The first day I sat by myself, Conner Craig came up to me. He was such a hunk. For everything he asked me, I came up with a witty answer. He laughed at almost all. Now, Conner Craig wasn't as big as Danny or Ethan but hey, it was a start. So, we started to go out. On our first date, I got my first kiss. I regret that now but you can't do much about that. There was an upside to it though. He had told all his friends like Ethan and Danny that I was fast. He told them that I had kissed him tongue and all on our first date. Imagine what she could do on the second or third dates he had said. So when Ethan started to show interest, I dumped Conner. Now Ethan is very deceiving to the world. He acts dumb but when you really get to know him, he knows his stuff. On the first date, he took me to the movies where we sat in the back and made out. Gross I know, but I was moving up the ladder. I stayed with him a while longer. There was a second date. Now, on this date, there was more than kissing. There was also some feeling. I hated myself for being so cheap, but like I said, it got me up the ladder. He had asked me out on a third date but I refused and dumped him because Danny Kessler had finally gotten around to me. He was different though. On the first date, we held hands and hugged a lot. I actually enjoyed this. Second date, he actually asked me if he could kiss me. I had never been asked before so I told him he was sweet for doing so and I allowed him to kiss me. That is when I decided I needed to take action. I was going through the same routine. So that's when I frenched him in the ear and he frenched me in mine. I had thought about going back to you and Lizzie but you were all still looking at each other still so I figured why should I. The third date rolled around. Same thing as Ethan, except he was gentler. He asked if he could do this or that. He truly was sweet. So, we were officially the biggest thing since butter. He would walk me to class and we would walk places with intertwined hands. It was truly romantic. Now came the fourth date. We had gone pretty far. Both of us only had our undergarments on when the date ended. I couldn't wear shirts that revealed a good portion of my goodies because of the hickey I had there. Finally, the fifth date. It went the same way as the others had gone until the end. He had asked me if I would be his first. Before I had the time to think about it, he was already pulling off my panties. I didn't feel comfortable so I told him. He had told me that he didn't understand but I knew he did. I told him we should break it off and we did. Besides, I was only 14 and he was 15. That's when he told me that he was only dating me for Lizzie which I figured to be a total lie. I didn't even hang out with Lizzie that often anymore. So, I went to sit with you guys again and eventually got a word from you every now and then. The next year had rolled around finally. I was at a work party for my dad one night when I met Angelo. By this time I was 15. He had taken me out for a ride in his car. I loved the feeling of going fast. He was 19 at the time, soon to be 20. Every now and then I would meet up with him and he would take me to his parties where there were people from the age of 15 to 25. I fit right in. All the people there raced like I was just doing. Angelo's like a big brother to me. He was the one that gave Danny Kessler a black eye for a month. That's why a lot of them don't talk to me now. I went to school and dealt with you guys during the day but once I got home, I went to Angelo's house. There were always people there. It's been like that ever since. So, that's what happened during those years."
Gordo looked as though he couldn't believe what he had just heard. He was in complete shock.
"Wow, I can't believe Lizzie and I did that to you."
"Well, believe it."
"Miranda, I am so sorry."
"Ah, can't change the past now."
"So.um, do you know your answer to *my* question yet?"
"Will I be your girlfriend?"
"Yeah, that one."
"No."
"No?! Why not?"
"Because Gordo, I know you. You'll go out with me and then as soon as Lizzie comes back, you'll fall in love with her. I know it. Lizzie has this power to hypnotize people."
"Well, can we at least go out on a date?"
"Only if you agree that it is a friend date. Not more than that."
"Ok. No problem."
"So, tell me who was the guy at Wendy's?"
"He's a friend. Nothing more."
"That's good to know"
She got out of the car and stood next to it looking down at the city.
"So, what now?" asked Gordo.
"Well, really, I want you to take me to get my car and then I can go home. If you want, you can stay for a bit."
"Alright, will do."
Gordo took Miranda back to the airport to grab her car and then they went to back to her house.
