Thanks for the reviews. Hope you guys like this one.
Gordo's POV and Miranda's POV
"You want to what!" I yelled.
"I want to take Lizzie out on a date" said Jason kind of hesitantly.
"Why?" is all I could muster up. Why should I even care, Lizzie and I are not together anymore.
"Well, Lizzie and I were talking today when we went to get the snacks and she told me everything that happened when you guys met yesterday. She told me about the breakup and how you were going to start searching for your true love and that you two went back to being best friends. And from our talks this summer that's what you always wanted, was a resolution. Right" said Jason.
"Well, yeah. I always wanted for me and Lizzie to be best friends again" I said.
"So I thought you two were just friends now and she was open to start dating again. Look Gordo I won't ask her out if you don't want me. You are the best person I met since I came to Hillridge and I don't want to jeopardize our friendship because I like you ex girlfriend" said Jason apologetically.
"Jason, you really like Lizzie? How is it possible that you know you like her and you just met her?" I asked kind of sarcastically.
"I just know man. You ever met somebody and get the feeling like they are exactly were you want to be right now. Its like she's beautiful, she has a great personality, and I think she likes me, did I mention she was beautiful" said Jason.
"Yeah I know she's beautiful and I know what you mean about meeting someone that just totally surprises you. Jason if you want to ask Lizzie out you have my blessing, just be good to her and don't hurt her" I said.
"You really mean that man! Gordo I swear you are the best friend I have ever had!" said Jason.
"Yeah I mean it. I told myself that I was going to have to give Lizzie up completely and this is my way of nailing that final nail in the coffin. I knew she would start dating again and I was going to have to deal with that and honestly I can't think of anybody that is better for Lizzie than you Jason" I said.
"You really mean that Gordo" asked Jason.
"Yeah man, its time for me to let her go. Plus I need to start looking for my true love. I kinda have my eye on someone already" I said.
"What! You already got your eye on someone! Well who the hell is it man?" screamed Jason.
"I'm not saying right know because this person does not know how I feel about them. I don't even know how I feel. I just know that I like her and it scares the hell out of me because I don't know why I like her. I'm just really confused and until I understand my feelings better, she will remain a mystery woman, sort of" I said.
"Oh, well when you are ready to reveal this mystery woman, your best guy bud will be right here for you" said Jason.
"Thanks man" I said.
"Here's your stop Gordo, I guess I'll see you tomorrow" said Jason.
"Alright, I don't know what we are supposed to be doing tomorrow though" I said.
"Me neither". Jason looked around outside of his car, then looked at me, "Hey Gordo, are you sure about me asking Lizzie out on a date" asked Jason.
"Yeah, I'm cool! Man if you like her than ask her out on a date" I said confidently.
"Allight" Jason said laughing using his east coast slang.
"See ya Jay" I said laughing.
As I walked to the front door of my house my mind was cluttered with a whole bunch of different thoughts. I really was cool with Jason asking Lizzie on a date it just caught me by surprise because I never thought Lizzie would go on a date so soon. I guess this would happen sooner or later and I just have to deal. Then there's Miranda, the beautiful Miranda. I am so confused about my feelings. I am not supposed to look at her the way that I am, but I can't help it. The more I think about it the more Miranda is appealing to me. Like Jason said, 'she is definitely where I want to be right now'. But I don't know if I'm where she wants to be. Maybe if I sleep on these thoughts they will make more sense in the morning.

Miranda's POV
Lizzie and I were pretty quiet while getting ourselves ready for bed. My mind was working overtime about Gordo. I don't know why but I kept hugging him, and I liked it. The fact that Gordo would through a surprise party for me really made me emotional. And I never show my emotions. I always prided myself on being the strong one when it came to emotions out of the three amigos. Nobody saw it but I shed a tear, when I saw that everybody came out to welcome me back home. I never would have thought Gordo would do something like that for me. I don't know why because he is my best friend, but still it was a shock. Maybe that's why I kept thanking him and hugging him today. I felt safe when I was hugging him, I almost kissed him on the cheek but I caught myself. That last hug was a little long. It seemed like he didn't want to let me go so I held on to him. Every time I hugged Gordo I felt this tingly feeling inside of me. I felt safe, even though Gordo has a small stature, I felt like he would protect me from the world and everything I am dealing with. And even if I liked Gordo, I could not go with him. It's like an unwritten rule that you never date your best friends ex. I have only been home two days and already I'm getting myself into a world of trouble.
"You sure are quiet Miranda" said Lizzie.
"Huh, Oh, I was just thinking about today's events" I said quickly.
"Oh, today sure was busy, I am so tired" said Lizzie.
"I know what you mean; we got up early, showered and got dressed, went to the Digital Bean, had a party, met a new friend, and went to see Lord of the Rings. This definitely was a busy day" I said in one breath.
"Yeah, that was a lot of stuff. What do you think about Jason" asked Lizzie.
"I think he's cool. He is really cute and it helps that he is totally loaded" I said.
"Yeah he is cute. We talked a little today, I think he likes me cause he kept flirting with me" said Lizzie.
"Do you like him?" I asked.
"Yeah sort of. I mean he's cute, he is muscular, he's confidante, he's totally loaded like you said, which is an extra bonus. I like everything about him, so yes I like him" said Lizzie.
"Would you go out on a date with him" I asked.
"Yeah I would if he asked me. But then you know there's Gordo" said Lizzie.
"What does Gordo have to do with anything?" I said.
"Well you know Jason and Gordo seemed pretty close. And you know that unwritten rule about dating your ex's best friend or vice versa, your best friend dating your ex. I just don't want to hurt Gordo anymore, and I think dating Jason would hurt Gordo" said Lizzie.
I just sat there for a moment digesting everything Lizzie just said. I lay back on my bed and looked at the ceiling and just thought. Everything Lizzie just said had something to do with how I felt. I looked over at Lizzie and she looked like she was thinking about what she just said too.
"Lizzie, what if Gordo gave you and Jason his blessing would you do date him then?" I said.
"Well yeah! If Gordo was cool about me and Jason dating then I definitely would go out with him" she said.
I just shook my head in agreement. I wonder if Lizzie were to give me and Gordo her blessing. What am I saying, Gordo doesn't even know I like him! Besides I have some other things I have to worry about then trying to get into a relationship. With my best friend at that.
"Lizzie can I ask you something else" I said.
"Yeah shoot" she said.
"It doesn't bother you that he's black does it" I said.
"Miranda NO! I wasn't raised that way. I mean my two best friends are Mexican and Jewish. When I look at Jason, I see Jason not that he's black. Just like when I see you and Gordo, I love you guys for your personality not your nationality" she said.
"Okay! Okay! I only asked that because I know you wouldn't have a problem with it but I know other people would. You know your little speech was kinda corny" I said laughing.
"Shut up" she said throwing a pillow at me laughing. "I know some people would have a problem but its their problem not mine. If I like a guy it doesn't matter what race he is, I am going to like him. And I know you feel the same way" she said.
"Ditto" I said. "Now be quiet, I am trying to go to sleep over here" I said throwing the pillow back at her.
"Okay! But you know we are supposed to hang out with them tomorrow" said Lizzie.
"What exactly are we supposed to be doing" I asked.
"Idonknow" said Lizzie.
"Well, I guess we'll figure out something" I said.
"Night Miranda" said Lizzie.
"Good Night Lizzie" I said.
Lizzie flicked the light out. I lay in bed just thinking about everything. I felt the cool breeze coming through the window and again bringing that fresh air with it. I thought about Lizzie and Jason and how they would make a cute couple, no matter what anyone says. I thought about Gordo and how he would feel if or when Jason and Lizzie started going out. I thought about how Gordo made me feel when we were together today. I thought about how cute he looked and how his blue eyes just pierced through my soul when he looked at me. I thought about all those years when I never thought of Gordo in that way, how we use to bicker and argue a lot, and even though we were best friends we never really knew each other deeply. I think we became friends because we both knew Lizzie, but we never really sat down and had a deep intimate talk like me and Lizzie did and still do. I just thought about me and Gordo, and how it would sound if Miranda and Gordo were together. I always thought it was in the stars for Lizzie and Gordo to be together forever, but like my mother always says "Baby, everything must and always will change".
I guess that's what is happening now. The three amigos are growing up and we are changing. I hope it's for the good instead of the bad. I thought so much that my head started to hurt from exhaustion. I looked over at the clock and realized it was 2:30 in the morning. It was definitely time for me to go to sleep. Tomorrow is a new day and I have a feeling a change is about to come.
