Justin got up from the computer he was at and stared at his cousin.

"What was that all about?"

"Eh, don't worry about it. And don't bother with Miranda, she's just a whore."

Miranda ran down the street with tears running down her cheeks. She didn't even bother to wipe them away. She wanted to feel the itching sensation. It helped her to know that she was alive. She had no clue where she was going, she just knew that she had to keep running. She kept running until her lungs were burning like fire. She looked up and realized that she had ran straight to Gordo's house. She walked up to the stoop and rang the doorbell. Gordo opened the door looking puffy eyed and with his hair unbrushed.

"Oh…I'm sorry…did I wake you?" Miranda asked.

Gordo looked from her running mascara to her red eyes and shook his head.

"No, come on in."

The second Gordo closed the door her eyes started to flood again. She couldn't hold it in any longer. It was as if someone had opened the floodgates to the Hoover dam.

"Miranda…Miranda, what's wrong?" Gordo asked alarmed.

"It was Larry!" Miranda sputtered through tears.

"What? Larry Tudgman...Oh Miranda...WHY?" Gordon said not realizing he had a look of complete disgust on his face.

Miranda started crying harder, filled with shame.

"I just came from the digital bean...I saw him..." Miranda's voice trailed off as her tears poured down her face.

"What happend Miranda?" Gordo asked, concerned.

"I...I...I told him about the baby and he said….he said…that he doesn't want to be a part of it!"

"What? He said that? I…I'll…I'm gonna go find him right now!" Gordo fumed with anger.

"No, it doesn't matter Gordo! Can't you see? It doesn't matter whether he cares or not! Either way my life is ruined! I might as well let him live his life! One ruined life is better than two right?"

"Miranda…I…." Gordo trailed off. He had no clue what to say to her.

Gordo led Miranda to the couch and held her in his arms. She rested her head on his shoulder as she shed her tears. She cried and cried until no tears were left and she was just shaking and taking in short breaths.Eventually her breathing evened out and she stopped whimpering. Gordo continued to stroke her hair as she fell asleep.

Meanwhile

"Claire--you will NEVER believe what I heard this morning!" Kate smiled as she gossiped into her new flip phone.

"What? If it's about Alison Smith's new nose job, I already heard about that." Claire replied tactfully.

"No--it's even better! Miranda totally did it!" Kate spilled excitedly.

"Did what?" Claire asked cluelessly.

"Umm duh? Did IT!" Kate cried happily.

"Oh my god! Miranda 'holier than thou' Sanchez? As if! With who?"

"That's totally the best part! You will NEVER believe who it was with!" Kate made a dramatic pause to build up anticipation.

"Larry Tudgeman! Larry 'I only have one shirt' Tudgeman! Can you believe it! That complete whore! We haven't even gotten into high school yet and she's already sleeping around!" Kate announced.

"Uhh…Kate didn't you do it with Ethan in the middle of eighth grade?" Claire questioned.

"Umm…yea but that's different! Besides that's beyond the point! Miranda…got pregnant!"

Claire gasped.

"WHAT! Oh my gosh! This is too good to keep to myself! I'll call you back later Kate!"

Kate had a satisfied grin on her face as she flipped her phone closed. She plopped on her pink ruffled bed and stared into her wall mirror. Her grin faded as she realized what she had done. She shook her head and said to herself, "Popular girls don't have consciences…"
