On Saturday night, Lizzie, Gordo, and Kate sat crammed together on the loveseat in Lizzie's room getting ready to watch Saturday Night Live. Gordo reached into the big bowl of popcorn that was sitting on Lizzie's lap. "So, is Miranda coming?" he asked hesitantly. He hadn't talked to Lizzie about the fight yet, and he wasn't sure if he should have mentioned it. Lizzie shook her head.
"No. I didn't invite her," she said casually. Gordo was secretly pleased. He honestly didn't like Miranda as much as he had to pretend he did when she was Lizzie's best friend. And lately, he hadn't even bothered to pretend much. Lizzie looked at her watch. "7 minutes until showtime!" she announced, grinning excitedly. Kate reached into Lizzie's pink Coach purse.
"I think your phone's ringing," she said, pulling Lizzie's cell phone out of the purse. It was flashing different colors and playing a Mexican restaurant song. Lizzie groaned.
"It's Miranda," she said. "I'm not answering it. I can't believe she's still calling me. She left like 4 messages trying to apologize and I never called her back. Doesn't she get it!" As soon as Lizzie's phone stopped ringing, Gordo's phone started. Lizzie and Kate looked at it in disbelief.
"Don't answer it!" Lizzie shouted as Gordo reached for the phone. Kate grabbed both cell phones and quickly turned them off.
"Does she honestly think that she can come over here after the way she treated us yesterday!" Kate asked incredulously.
"Dyke," Lizzie spat out. She and Kate laughed and high fived each other. Gordo was lost. Since when is Miranda a dyke? Kate laughed as she saw the confusion register on Gordo's face.
"It's an inside joke," she said. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. Everyone froze, horrified. "There's no way," Kate said. Lizzie jumped up and locked her door as they stood there in silence.
"It doesn't matter. My mom won't let her in anyway," Lizzie assured them. But sure enough, they heard footsteps coming towards Lizzie's room.
"Lizzie?" Miranda's familiar voice called.
"Don't. Move." Lizzie mouthed to Gordo and Kate.
"I'm sorry Miranda, but Lizzie isn't here right now," Jo's voice broke the silence. A few minutes later, Lizzie heard the front door slam and Jo called Matt into the hall. "From now on, don't let her into this house," Jo instructed him. She tapped on Lizzie's door. "All clear!" she announced as Kate, Gordo, and Lizzie let out sighs of relief.
"Wow. She's like stalking you, Lizzie," Kate said as they settled back into the loveseat. Lizzie rolled her eyes.
"Don't worry," she said. "That'll be the last time she sets foot in this house." Lizzie let her head rest on Gordo's shoulder and smiled up at him. Gordo put his arm around her protectively.
"You two should totally be a couple," Kate observed. "You're sickening!" Gordo and Lizzie laughed, both secretly wishing they were a couple.
