David Gordon was confused. The most beautiful had just kissed him. He blinked as Miranda Sanchez pulled him and Lizzie away from the small crowd of questioning eyes, nearly squealing.
"You guys! What is up? I'm walking around, looking for you two and notice these two people totally making out, and whaddaya know? These two people making out are actually my two best friends, Lizzie and Gordo!" Miranda finished off with a bewildered whimper, looking to them for answers. Answers that Gordo didn't even have.
"Randa, we weren't totally making out," Lizzie told her, trying to imitate Miranda's voice and failing miserably. "We were simply kissing," she finished, slapping her hands on her knees. "Now, who's up for the Digital Bean?"
"Me," Gordo jumped in, trying desperately to divert the subject.
"Lizzie, you make it sound like it was no big deal," Miranda accused her, acting oblivious to Lizzie's suggestion.
"Because it was no big deal," Lizzie insisted. "Right, Gordo?"
Gordo didn't answer. 'No big deal?' he shouted mutely. 'It was so a big deal.'
"Okay, why don't I just try to figure this out? I'd like to know why you two kissed, if that's such a crime," Miranda demanded.
"Because Larry asked me to the dance," Lizzie explained.
Miranda wore a blank look. "Liz, give me a little more something to work with here."
"And I didn't want to go with him," she continued.
"Yes?" and exasperated Miranda prompted, trying to sound relatively patient.
"So...I said I couldn't. I said I couldn't because I was with Gordo."
A light went on in Miranda's head as realization finally struck her. "Oooh, of course! Wait, so... you guys aren't really together then?"
'Strange,' Gordo thought to himself. 'She sounds almost...disappointed.'
"Well...no. Well, I mean, yes. Well, according to Larry, we are. And Ethan, and Kate."
"You realize that if Kate knows, then by tomorrow the entire school will know, don't you?" Miranda told her, sympathetically.
Well...yeah," Lizzie mumbled. "Randa, what should I do then? What should we do? Me and Gordo, I mean," she added, glancing nervously at Gordo.
Gordo still kept silent. He was surprised Lizzie even remembered that he was there. They both looked to Miranda for her advice; after all, Miranda always had a plan.
Miranda took a moment to think, although it was obvious that she already knew exactly what they were to do. "Okay, this is what you're going to do," she started, taking total control of the situation. "You're going to go to this dance together. You're going to be 'an item' until then. Meaning you'll have to be totally in love and totally inseparable for the two weeks until the dance. Capiche?"
Lizzie and Gordo looked to each other uncertainly, trying to read the others' facial expression. Both nodded mutely.
So that was the plan. For two weeks they were to be in love. Two weeks. Although no one was certain that everything would go according to plan.
