Chapter 2:
David Gordon remembered that kid from his files. His name is Canto Kneed, age 17, and he's why he's posing as a high school student. "Watch next time where you're going." said Canto. "You're the one that bumped into me." "What's your name?" Before he could answer that, a teacher came. "Mr. Kneed I see you've met Mr. Smith. He has your English class, which you are supposed to be in right now." "I got lost, Mr. Lock." said Canto. The teacher stopped with the last name bases and said, "Canto you have been going here for four year's now I don't think you can get lost, but Gordo here can because he is the new student. Since you claim to be lost, and I know you're not Canto, you can show Gordo to his classes. NOW GO!" They both left. Canto looked at Gordo's schedule and said, "You have three of my classes. Great, Not" They went to Mr. Diggs class., and when they walked inside everyone turned and starred. Lizzie turned around to see who walked through the door, and whom she saw astounded her. She looked straight into the new student's blue eyes. She looked at her best friend Miranda, and said, "That new kid's cute!" "Yea, but he doesn't seem to be happy." "Class this is Gordo Smith. He just transferred from Bethany, Oklahoma. Gordo you can take a seat next to Lizzie McGuire." Hearing her name she said, "What" and even though Gordo knew who she was, he went along and acted dumb. He sat by her, trying not to stare at her, but he hoped class would start soon. Canto sat behind Lizzie. Once everyone was finally seated, Mr. Diggs resumed class. Kate was in the restroom cleaning when Miranda walked in. She wiped down the sink's praying that Miranda wouldn't realize who she was. Her prayer was answered because she pulled out her cell phone and pushed the talk button. When Kate heard Miranda say, "'I told you not to call me.'" She knew at once that Miranda's husband had called her.
Matt McGuire walked into Hill ridge high and headed straight to the counselors' office, but he took his time getting there, so he could meet Miranda. Miranda just received her note from the office aid. She walked down to the counselors' office, and saw Matt apparently waiting for her. "Matt, I can't believe you're here!" she squealed excitedly. "I've missed you too." He stood at 6'1 while she was just 5'3. He cupped her chin in his hand, and brought his lips down onto hers and kissed her softly at first, and then the kiss depend. They pulled apart. "I better send you back." said Matt. "If you can, I want you to come home tonight, please." "It might be late." replied matt as he was fingering with a piece of her hair that fell to the side of her face. "I'll keep my ears open." said Miranda and then she walked away from him. He let the piece of hair slip from his fingers and watched her walk away.
"Lizzie, will you give Miranda her home-Never mind. Miranda here's your homework." said the math teacher. She took her work and sat down next to Lizzie. Lizzie saw the huge smile that was on Miranda's face, and said, "I take it you saw Matt, so how did things go?" "He might be coming to my house tonight." Lizzie knew that Miranda meant 'home tonight', but they had to be very discreet about it because Miranda wanted it that way, for now. "Eeww, I don't even want to know." They both started to laugh at that comment. The bell rang and they left with Canto.
The meeting was being held in the family consumer science room on the second floor. Gordo, Kate, and Larry sat in chairs facing each other. "Gordo, did you find out anything about our suspect?" "He was stalking one of his possible victims because his ex-teacher, Mr. Locke caught both of us in the hall, but he ran into me first. Mr. Lock caught him in a lie because Canto told him he was lost, and Mr. Lock grilled him for it and told him to show me where all of my classes are." "You are staying after this meeting. I want you to go in the counselor's office, get on the computer, look up his file, and see what you can find. Kate where you able to find anything?" "No." "I want you tomorrow to get inside his locker, and see if you can find anything. Check in with Gordo when you get home, and right down his combination." "Larry its 11 o'clock, can I go home?" asked Kate. "Fine, I'll see everyone tomorrow." Gordo ran downstairs, in a hurry to get to the counselor's office. He unlocks the door and goes inside. He logs onto one of the computers and accesses Canto's file. He scans over the file with his eye, and then prints it, and then he closes out of the different screens, logs off, shut down the computer, walks quickly out the door, and locks it.
Kate pulled into her driveway, parks, turns off the engine, gets out of her car, walks to her front door and unlocks it. She enters house and sees lit candles everywhere. She sees her husband sitting on the couch and asks, "Ethan why are all of these candles lit?" "I'm in a romantic mood, and I've missed you." She goes over to him on the couch and lays down her head is on his lap while the rest of her body is stretched out on the end of the couch.
Lizzie looks out of her open bedroom window, and sees Gordo walking past her house and towards his house. She climbs out of her window and walks over to him, and asks, "What are you doing out here?" "Just wanted to walk the streets, and it helps me to go to sleep. Please don't tell anyone that." She smiles at him, and then says, "I won't I promise. I'll see you in school tomorrow." She starts to walk away, but Gordo says, "Let we walk you over to your window." She laughs and then says, "Thanks." She puts her arm though his and they walk like that until they get to her window. "Night Liz." and then Gordo goes next door to the house that he is staying in until the case is over.
