Chapter 4
NO POV:
Miranda went home thinking about how to help out Lizzie and Gordo. She wanted to help Gordo get Lizzie. She sighed. "Gordo's just such a sweet guy," she thought, "I hate to see him suffer like this." She thought that maybe if she dropped a few hints here and there, Lizzie would get the picture.
Miranda got up the following morning and looked outside. Summer! She loved the warmth and the happiness of everything. She threw on a light blue tube top, a denim mini-skirt, and a pair of flip-flops. She parted her hair and braided it in two braids while weaving a ribbon through it. Then she called up Lizzie.
"Hey, chica," she said, "can I come over?"
"Sure," said Lizzie. Then she yawned. "I was going to call to have you come over, but fell asleep."
"I'll be over in a few," said Miranda and then hung up the phone.
*********************************************
"Hey, Miranda! Come in," greeted Lizzie. Lizzie also had her hair in two braids. She had a sunny smile on, but it quickly turned upside down when a crash was heard in the other room.
"Matt," said Lizzie and Miranda at the same time rolling their eyes.
"You rang?" asked Matt scooting to the front door.
"Oh whatever, Matt! Leave us alone. Go find you other friends somewhere else. Maybe on the other side of the world!" sneered Lizzie.
Surprisingly, today Matt just left silently with a shrug of his shoulders. "Maybe you hurt his feelings," said Miranda.
"Matt? I'm not so sure about that. He's hard-hearted. Let's go upstairs," said Lizzie leading the way to her room.
"So there's all this stuff. Want to help me go through some of it?" asked Lizzie. "You know, I will be moving."
"Why don't we invite Gordo to come join us for that? I mean, you've known him forever. It would be a shame if he couldn't help," said Miranda.
"Oh, ok. We can do it another day, I guess," said Lizzie. "I'm in no hurry to leave."
Miranda sighed and looked around the room. She spotted a picture with Lizzie and Gordo in it. They were each only about five years old. They stood there smiling at the camera, arm-in-arm. Around it was a frame that said, "Best Friends Forever."
"Aw, this is a cute picture of you and Gordo! I've never seen this one before," said Miranda.
"Yeah. It's been in here for a while. Cute picture, huh?" asked Lizzie.
"You two must be really close," said Miranda.
"You know that, Miranda," said Lizzie. "Why are you saying this now? You don't feel like a third wheel...do you?"
"No, no. Not at all. I just brought it up, because I think it's amazing that you've known each other for so long. After all of these years, you have remained good friends. It's very hard to find great friends nowadays that will stick close to you forever," said Miranda. "I'm so lucky to have found you guys."
"We're lucky to have found you too, Miranda!" exclaimed Lizzie. Then she started crying. "I'm gonna miss you two so much. I don't know how I'll handle not seeing you two everyday!" She looked out her window and observed the nice day. How could it be all happy when she would be moving away from her two best friends?
"At least it's Colorado and not New Hampshire or some other state on the East Coast. Then it would be especially hard to see each other. But Colorado, we'll be able to see each other sometimes," said Miranda trying to look on the bright side.
"I thought Gordo was taking it pretty well until yesterday. Now he's acting all weird for no reason. Just a sudden change overcame him. It scared me. He left without saying goodbye!" said Lizzie. She wondered about Gordo's character as of late. He was a little more quiet than usual, and then out of nowhere he got flustered and left the room. It just didn't make sense to her. "I'll miss him," said Lizzie.
"I know he'll miss you too," said Miranda.
"He certainly hasn't acted like it," sighed Lizzie.
"He'll miss you alright," mumbled Miranda, "maybe even more than will."
"Perhaps you two will find a replacement for me?" asked Lizzie quietly.
"Of course not!" exclaimed Miranda. "You know no one could replace you, chica."
"And I'll have to spend all of eternity not being able to take peeks at Ethan from the halls!" sighed Lizzie. "Ooh! Ooh!" she exclaimed while jumping to her feet. "I could take a picture of him and then paste it in my locker! Then I could look at him everyday!" Then Lizzie's eyelashes fluttered and she flopped onto her bed.
Miranda rolled her eyes. "What about Gordo?" she asked quietly.
"Huh? Oh yeah, Gordo. I'll have a picture of both of you in my locker. I couldn't forget either of you," said Lizzie.
Miranda knew that she could ask Lizzie anything, but just couldn't figure out how to ask her without embarrassing her friend. "Lizzie?" she asked. "What exactly do you think of Gordo?"
"He's a cool friend and all. He's a great friend to have," said Lizzie.
"Anything else?" asked Miranda.
Lizzie looked puzzled. "Oh!" she exclaimed suddenly as she figured out what she thought Miranda was trying to get at. "You mean what do I think of him in a deeper level, right? Like, about his appearance and all?"
Miranda shrugged. Not exactly what she was looking for, but close enough.
"Well," said Lizzie blushing, "you do know that I had a crush on him a while back. That was many years ago now."
"What do you think of him now?" asked Miranda.
"Why do you want to know?" asked Lizzie quickly.
"Just wondering. No big deal," said Miranda trying to look like she didn't care about the whole subject matter.
Lizzie took a big breath. "I haven't seen him as more than a friend since then. We're best friends. If we were to become deeper in a relationship, it would ruin our friendship, right?"
"Not exactly. Best friends often make the best couple," said Miranda.
"But what if we got into a fight or something? Not only would I lose my boyfriend, but also my best friend. If I were to have a separate boyfriend, then if I got into a fight, then I'd still have Gordo as my best friend. Better one loss than two, right?" asked Lizzie.
She didn't know what to think of that. Obviously though, Lizzie had thought about Gordo being her boyfriend. She didn't seem too enthusiastic about the idea though. "Gordo's a cutie," said Miranda. "The girl who gets him is one of the luckiest girls on earth." Miranda stared blankly into the air. Something pained her heart, but she wasn't sure what it was or why she felt the sudden pain.
Lizzie caught her change of face and questioned her, "Miranda? What's wrong? Why are you asking all of these questions about Gordo? Do you...like Gordo, Miranda?"
"Heavens no!" exclaimed Miranda. "I was just curious, that's all."
But as Lizzie went looking through more of her stuff, Miranda fingered her necklace while deep in thought. The thought had never occurred to her, and now it was dwelling in her brain. The question played over and over again. She wasn't so sure now. She kept questioning her self and wondering what she really felt in her heart. Was she, Miranda Sanchez, falling in love with David Gordon?

A/N: I'm going to try to make my Author's notes a little shorter here. Wish me luck! Just one thing that I have to put in here: Go Avs! I am so happy that they won their last two games. You've got a very happy, but tired writer here. I'm sorry if this chapter isn't as good as the others. I'm just very tired. And wow! That whole possible M/G pairing at the end surprised me. I'm L/G all the way...where did I come up with that? Keep reviewing and have a cool day!
:artsigirl16: I'm glad to be someone's hero. Here's a smiley for you to show my happiness: :-) Please update your story soon!
Tanguay18: Yes, I just don't know how for Miranda to get them together! Yeah, I have the problem sometimes where it won't let me review a story.
EspanaChick13: Lizzie, I think, will move to Colorado Springs Colorado. *claps* Thank you so much! Your comment made me so happy! I do hope that the Avs win the Stanley Cup this year as well. They deserve it, like you said.
Queen-of-sarcasm: Thanx for the review. Did my advice help? I'm hoping to see your stories updating soon.
