Miranda slowly walked into the Digital Bean, looking around for a blonde head of hair.
"Hey Lizzie!" She called to the blonde sitting at a table in the middle of the hangout.
Miranda stopped short before she sat down. She looked up at the blonde who was not Lizzie but actually Kate.
"Oh, she invited you?" Kate said sneering.
"I was about to say the same exact thing." Miranda shot back, just as nasty.
"Hi guys!" Greeted Lizzie as she bounced up to the table.
"Hi…" Miranda and Kate both answered, still sneering at each other
"What's wrong you guys? No…don't tell me. You guys cant get along? Come on! Just let it go you guys! We're starting High School now. It's like…we can all be friends! Just like old times!" Lizzie suggested.
"Yeah…REALLY old times." Miranda said rolling her eyes.
" Yeah like ANCIENT. Lizzie, I can handle being your friend. I mean you've performed at an international awards show! But this dork? As if!" Kate folded her arms to her chest and looked up to see Ethan Craft raising an eye brow at her.
"Umm…hi Ethan!" Kate said, sounding a bit TOO cheery. "Like I was saying Miranda, as if I'd would let some stupid things said in middle school get in the way of our new found friendship!"
Ethan smiled at this and said, "Well, ladies I was wondering when you'd all become amigos!"
"Amigas." Miranda corrected.
"Oh my bad! You should know Miranda, you got the roots." Ethan said knowingly.
" Yeah well I WAS in Mexico city for about a month ." Miranda said.
" Really? When?" Ethan asked.
"All last month? When I wasn't at school?" Miranda explained.
"There was school last month?" Ethan said, looking confused.
"Never mind Ethan…" Miranda said shaking her head.
"Well I'm off to the high school. They have a summer program for Water Polo there I have to go to." Said Ethan
"Adios Amigo!" Lizzie yelled after him.
"Wait…I thought it was amigA?…Why don't you guys just make up your mind!" Ethan said confused, walking out the door. Lizzie, Kate and Miranda dissolved into giggles at Ethan's innocent ignorance.
"So Miranda, tell us about your vacation in Mexico city!" Lizzie urged as their laughter died down.
"Well…it wasn't very interesting." Miranda started.
"Oh My God!!! TURN UP THE VOLUME!!!" Kate screamed staring at the TV in the top corner of the room.
Everyone turned to the television as some tall kid pressed the volume button.
"What is it?" Someone questioned.
"Cant you all see?" Kate asked.
"Hey its that girl right there!" A tall brunette said pointing at Lizzie.
And indeed it was Lizzie. Standing on stage in Rome singing her heart out.
The familiar music poured into Lizzie's ears (hey now, hey now this is what dreaaams are made of!)
"Wow, but…but why is it on TV. in America?" Lizzie asked.
"We've got satellite." said the Manager of The Digital bean as she was passing through.
"Cool! Lizzie how'd you get on TV?"
"Lizzie is that really you?"
All the kids in the Digital Bean had questions for Lizzie. Of course she answered them all happily.
"Wow look who's Miss popular now." A familiar voice behind Miranda said.
"Gordo!" Miranda said smiling.
"Yep that's me…what's Lizzie doing here? I thought she was grounded." Gordo said uneasily.
"She snuck out. Her parents went to some kind of convention or something." Miranda explained.
"Oh…so…umm…you wanna get out of here? I don't think she'll notice." Gordo said looking at the slowly growing crowd around Lizzie.
"Yeah…" Miranda said picking up her things.
"Bye Lizzie!" She called over her shoulder. But Lizzie didn't even hear.
"Whatever…"Miranda walked glumly out of the Digital Bean with Gordo.
"Hey, what's up Miranda? Something wrong?" Gordo asked.
"Yeah, I was gonna ask you the same thing." Miranda said raising an eyebrow.
"Lizzie told you didn't she." Gordo said, stopping in the middle of the sidewalk.
"Yeah…so what's up with you and Lizzie now?" Miranda asked.
"Well…I really don't know." Gordo answered. "I mean, we haven't talked about it since it happened."
"You should talk to her." Miranda suggested.
"What if she doesn't want to talk about it though? What if it was just some random kiss that she felt she had to give me?" Gordo pondered.
"GORDO!" Miranda said placing her hands on his shoulders. "LIZZIE LIKES YOU! YOU LIKE LIZZIE! TALK TO HER!"
"Okay…I'll talk to her I guess…that is, if she ever gets away from her fans." Gordo said.
"So, enough about me Miranda, whats up with you?"
"Well…" Miranda trailed off.
"Oh, is it one of these I met this boy and I only want to talk to Lizzie about it things?" Gordo asked only half jokingly.
"No…its just…bigger than most of our problems." Miranda started.
"Bigger?" Gordo asked. "How so?"
"Well…lets just say that there's two of us here but then technically there's three." Miranda started uneasily.
"Huh?" Gordo looked blankly at Miranda.
"Im…" Miranda trailed off as her eyes filled with tears.
"Youre…No…you cant be pre-" He stopped speaking as Miranda's tears began to fall down her face.
"How? Well I mean duh I know how but…Are you sure? Well…who was it? Some guy in Mexico City?" Gordo asked as he put his arm around her to comfort her.
"No…" She said quietly.
"Who then? Where?" Gordo asked curiously.
"Well…right before I left for Mexico city I stopped by Mr.Durmstrang's class to get my class work that I'd need an-"
"MR.DURMSTRANG? Miranda he's married!" Gordo exclaimed in astonishment.
"Ewww no!!" Miranda said in disgust.
"Oh" Gordo said with a sigh of relief.
"Anyways, like I was saying, I stopped by school and I saw someone there…He offered to help me carry all my stuff home. I was carrying all the stuff out of my locker since I wouldn't be returning before school ended, so I let him help me. When I got to my house, no one was home. We got to talking and…one thing lead to another. I…I…asked him to slow down but…I didn't expect him to be so forceful…" Miranda said, her eyes closing at the memory.
"Wait-so you're saying this guy forced himself on you?" Gordo asked, concerned.
"No, not exactly…" Miranda said glumly.
"Who was this guy?" Gordo asked.
"It was-"
"Hey Lizzie!" She called to the blonde sitting at a table in the middle of the hangout.
Miranda stopped short before she sat down. She looked up at the blonde who was not Lizzie but actually Kate.
