Chapter 2: Miranda's Choice
Lizzie, Gordo and Miranda all raced to their car. Yes, one car, two summers ago they had all put their money together to buy a car that they all shared. Since they all lived on the same block and since they did everything together it wasn't a problem.
M: Can I please drive today? You know I'm not gonna be able to drive again for like two weeks, and you two will both be here to drive whenever you want. Pleeeeease?
G: Of course you can drive, geez, since when are we that mean?
M: I don't know, I just really feel a need for speed.
L: So where are we going? I seriously don't feel like going home quite yet.
G: I think Miranda should decide since she's the one who's leaving.
M: I don't know. We've seen all the good movies at the theater, I'm tired of renting movies, and the Digital Bean is getting old. I know, let's go to the mall. I still need to get a present for my abuela and Lizzie, you and I can look at prom dresses.
G: Oh, no, not shopping, especially dress shopping. I'll go nuts.
M: That's what you get for letting me pick and for having girls for best friends. And you know that you wouldn't have it any other way. Besides, what guy doesn't like seeing two beautiful girls in skin-tight, sexy dresses?
G: Oh, fine, I'll go, but you two better buy me dinner to make up for this.
L: Dinner, why dinner?
G: Because I ran out of money buying the perfect presents for you...(pause)...two.
M: All right, it's settled, we're going shopping,
As Miranda speeded away from the school, Gordo chanced a look at Lizzie and smiled.
