Lizzie pulled away from Gordo. "We can't do this, not to Miranda! She'll think we're leaving her out and that's not very nice!" Lizzie said to Gordo.

"But Lizzie it feels so right! We won't leave Miranda out, she knows that, we'll still do everything together. The three of us to the end as always!" Gordo reassured her.

Lizzie agreed with Gordo but she still didn't think he was right. It did feel right but it was unfair on Miranda. She knew that if Miranda and Gordo got together she'd feel left out even if they were right with her. She decided to tell Miranda about how she feels and to make sure Miranda's ok with it.

Gordo could tell something was wrong with Lizzie but he didn't want to say anything so he stayed quiet and was lucky when the bell went so it didn't look like he was ignoring her. Gordo was so happy his dream had come true but like Lizzie, even though he said she wouldn't, Gordo thought that Miranda would feel left out. He knew that if Miranda was a guy and was going out with Lizzie he would feel left out even if they weren't leaving him out.

Miranda was really happy for Gordo and Lizzie but she was upset and frightened that they will leave her out or that they won't leave her out but she will feel left out even though they were right with her. She hoped and prayed that, that wouldn't happen but she knew it probably would. She also thought that she was glad Lizzie had got the person she fancied and really wanted the person she fancied but no one knew who that was because she was so ashamed as it was Lizzie's brother Matt!

Later

The bell rang for the end of the day and all three of them were relived! They were all going back to Lizzie's and even though Gordo had said what he did Lizzie and Gordo were going to act just like friends to be on the safe side. Lizzie hadn't told Gordo that she was going to talk to Miranda about it but she had told him what she thought and Gordo couldn't disagree with her. Miranda on the other hand knew they kissed and thought that they were going to be all over each other so when they weren't it came as a bit of a shock.

"How was your day?" Miranda asked them both with a smile on her face.

"Oh the usual, boring lessons." Lizzie replied.

"Nothing exciting as always" Gordo answered

"I don't believe you! Something must have happened when I left to go to the toilet!"

Lizzie couldn't believe her ears, Miranda knew! She looked at Gordo who hadn't cottoned on. She tried to mime "She knows" to Gordo but he didn't understand what she was saying and Miranda saw his confused face and turned immediately to Lizzie who stopped what she was doing.

"No nothing happened, why?" Lizzie asked trying to sound curious but failing.

"Oh because I just thought you might get together seeing as you both like each other. Oh didn't you know I'm so sorry!" Miranda said sarcastically.

Gordo understood and looked at the floor ashamed.

"Erm... No nothing happened and no I didn't no Lizzie liked me" Gordo said pretending to blush.

"Yes you did! I saw you too! I saw you kissing talking really close, don't lie to me!" Miranda said trying to hide the tears but Lizzie knew all to well what Miranda sounded like when she was about to cry.

"Miranda we're sorry, I thought you wanted us to get together, please don't cry, I was going to tell you!" Lizzie said looking into Miranda's eyes.

"When" was all Miranda could say.

"When Gordo left, sorry for not telling you Gordo I thought it would've been easier to say I wanted to talk about girlie stuff." Lizzie said.

Gordo stared blankly at Lizzie as if she had just said that she was going to blow him up. Lizzie was so ashamed of herself that she grabbed her two best friends and hugged them and in the middle of the hug she whispered to them both "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for you to find out the ways you did!" Lizzie and Miranda cried but Gordo didn't, he could feel the tears coming but he just couldn't cry in front of Lizzie and Miranda!

Gordo, who couldn't take it any longer, told Lizzie and Miranda that he was going to go to let them talk about it. They both tried to make him stay but he knew that if he stayed any longer he would cry and he knew he couldn't do that in front of Lizzie and Miranda. Gordo said his goodbyes and then walked out.

While he walked home he thought about what had just happened. He was so confused. He loved Lizzie but from the way Miranda had just acted he knew that it was very unlikely that he would be able to see her. He would be in the exact same state if he was in Miranda's position so he doesn't blame her one bit but he was still very confused and just wanted to get home right away so he could wipe away the tears that were now forming in his eyes.

Meanwhile

Lizzie and Miranda had gone upstairs into Lizzie's bedroom to talk about what had just happened and also girlie stuff.

"Look, I really am sorry, I was going to tell you when Gordo left and I was going to ask how you would feel if we started to go out even if we didn't leave you out." Lizzie said.

"I know you are sorry Lizzie, well I don't know how i feel until it happens will I but I am feeling kind of lonely at the moment, boyfriend wise I mean." Miranda replied. "Well who do you like?"

"No one"

"Now I know that's not true! Come on tell me" Lizzie urged Miranda.

"No it's embarrassing."

"You know you can trust me Miranda!"

"Ok, but you can not tell anyone, not even Gordo, even though this will shock you the most."

"I promise."

Miranda looked at her hands and said something so quietly that Miranda hardly heard herself. She didn't really want to tell Lizzie but she didn't want to let Lizzie down. She really didn't know what to do.

Lizzie sat watching Miranda waiting for her to tell her who she fancied and it wasn't until a little while after she had said "I promise" that she realised what Miranda had said before and she knew almost instantly who it was but she didn't tell Miranda she knew in case she was wrong.

"M......M.......Ma........Matt" Miranda said extremely quiet but Lizzie had heard her and she almost fainted.

"Oh my god!" Lizzie said.

Miranda knew she would act like that but she was still a bit upset.

"Miranda he's eleven years old! We're thirteen!" Lizzie said almost laughing.

"I know but he's so sweet! Don't you think so?"

"NO" Lizzie shouted.

Miranda threw a pillow at her to shut her up and then they had a pillow fight forgetting about Matt and Gordo and just having fun. However neither of them forgot but they just acted like they did.
