I know, I know, it has been a really long time since I updated. Sorry, school has just been crazy. But now the choir's gone on tour so there's absolutely nothing going on. I leave for Chicago on Monday so I thought I should update before I go and hopefully I'll have an update for you next weekend after I get back. We'll see how it goes. Anyways, here you go!

Chapter 2: Lunch and Beyond

Lizzie walked into the lunchroom, stopping for a moment in the doorway, taking it all in.

LT: Wow, to think I'll be leaving this in about two months. I can't believe how fast these last four years went.

She saw Miranda waving at her and she walked up to the table and sat down.

M: You seem awfully spacey today. What's going on?

L: I was just thinking about how fast this has all gone. I mean sitting here, eating in the lunchroom seems really routine and boring right now, but in about two months this will be gone. It's weird to think.

M: Yeah, I guess I hadn't thought about it that much. I've been more focused on the getting-out-of-here part.

L: Anyway, on to bigger and brighter things. Like the prom, for example. Gordo asked me this morning after you went to class. Isn't that cute? He formally asked me, like there was a chance I'd go with anyone else. I'm glad he at least acknowledged it though, instead of just assumed we were going without saying anything about it.

M: Ohh, that is cute. Where did he learn all this sweet, romantic stuff? He never showed a romantic side until you two started going out. He seems like the perfect boyfriend. I'm jealous.

L: You're jealous? You mean you like Gordo?

M: No, never. I just mean that I'm jealous of what you two have. I want that, but with someone of my own, of course.

L: Oh, good, cuz for a second there I was worried.

M: Worried about me? What, you thought I was gonna steal him from you? Yeah, right, that'd be too easy. Just kidding.

L: Miranda, you are so weird sometimes. Anyways, so this means we are both going to the prom. And you know what that means...

Together:

L: So I was thinking we could go this weekend.

M: Sounds good. You're not bringing Gordo though right? Cuz that'd be really weird.

L: Of course not, that's just wrong.

Miranda and Lizzie walked into the mall ready for a full day of shopping. They were going to get everything. The dress, the shoes, the jewelry, the garter, everything. They just hoped that the money wouldn't run out before they did.

L: Let's start at the department store. You remember when we went to the mall right before you left for Mexico at Christmas? That last dress I tried on was my favorite and Gordo was practically drooling all over it. There was something magical about that dress, something about it caused something to happen between me and Gordo. I felt this spark as he laced it up in the back and felt this weird energy as we stood there looking at each other. I know he felt it too. I want to get that one and surprise Gordo.

M: That's so sweet. Yeah, I remember thinking that something weird was going on as I interrupted.

L: Ok, it's settled then. I'm getting that dress, no matter what I have to do.

Fortunately, the dress was all hers. When they got to the rack there was only one dress in that style left and it was her size.

I hope you liked this. Sorry, it's kinda short and stupid, but it's all I could write today. More to come. REVIEW and give me some good reading when I get back from Chicago on Saturday.
