Miranda ran down the dark street with tears running down her face. She ran for about a minute or two until she realized that someone was calling her name. She turned around and saw Gordo about a half a block away with his hands on his knees.

"Miranda..." Gordo said, breathless. "I've been following you for about 2 blocks! I kept screaming your name but you wouldn't stop!"

"I'm sorry, I just..." Miranda's voice trailed off, thinking of what Kate and her friends said.

"I heard what they said...and it doesn't matter. Those creeps have the combined IQ of a mushroom. If the only thing they can do for entertainment is make fun of others misfortune, they've got alot of growing up to do." Gordo said.

"Thanks Gordo...you're a really great friend..." Miranda said, reaching out to give Gordo a hug. "Wait...what happend with you and Lizzie? I'm sorry about before...I didn't mean to butt in."

"Don't worry, I explained to her that you were upset and she seemed to feel better. Last time I saw her she was taking shots of tequila and hanging all over that Jake Manning guy." Gordo shrugged.

"I'm sorry Gordo." Miranda frowned.

"Eh...it's okay. I guess that's the price I have to pay for dating one of the most popular girls in school." Gordo sighed. "Come on, I'll walk you home. It's dark. I wouldn't want anyone to kidnap you and my new god child." Gordo said smiling.

"Hey, who said that you're going to be the Godfather?" Miranda joked.

"Hey, i'll make you an offer you can't refuse." Gordo said in a terrible italian accent.

Miranda laughed as they walked toward her house. Eventually they got near Lizzie's house. You could hear the music and laughing from 2 houses away.

"I want to go back in." Miranda said.

"What? Why?" Gordo asked, looking confused.

"If I just run away from them I'm letting them win...besides, I told my Mom I'd be back tomorrow morning. If I come home now she'll want to know why." Miranda said.

"Okay...I've got your back. If you wanna leave, let me know so I can walk you home okay?" Gordo said as they walked towards the front door.

When Miranda walked in the door the first thing she saw was Kate point at her and giggle. Miranda was about to turn around and walk right back out but a very drunk Lizzie stopped her.

"MuhmuhmuhMiranda! HIIIIII! Whats UPPPPPPPPPP homie?" Lizzie said, grabbing on to Miranda's shoulders.

"Lizzie! How much did you have to drink?" Miranda asked.

"Not alot! Just one or five shots of tequila!" Lizzie giggled.

"What happend to your shirt?" Miranda asked as she realized that Lizzie was only wearing a blue bra and her jeans.

"I dunno! Some boy took it! He was cute! Like that guy on degrassi! The one who sings that song!" Lizzie said as she struggled to stand on top of the coffee table. "OOOOOOOOOOH I'm in looooooooove! With yoooouuuuuuuuu!" She sang at the top of her lungs.

Miranda noticed Kate hold up her cell phone in Lizzie's direction. Kate's CAMERA phone.

"Hey, gimme that." Miranda demanded as she grabbed for the phone.

"No, get away from me you freak!" Kate squealed.

"Delete the picture. Delete it now." Miranda growled.

"Or what?" Kate said, rolling her eyes.

"Or...Look Ethan is flirting with Claire!" Miranda yelled, pointing in the direction behind Kate.

Kate whirled around and Miranda grabbed her cellphone.

"What? Hey! You bitch!" Kate yelled as she grabbed for her cell. "God Miranda, if you weren't pregnant I would SO have to hurt you right now."

"Well I am and that's too bad isn't it." Miranda smirked as she deleted the picture of Lizzie on the coffee table from Kate's phone.

"What? Miranda? You're having a baby? You are with CHILD? Can I be her sister?" Lizzie giggled as Gordo pulled her off the coffee table. "Miraaaaaanda! I thought we were saving ourselves for marriage! Or Ryan gosling! hahahaha! Ryan Gosling! He wouldn't have sex with you anyway because you're too much of a freak!" hahaha!" Lizzie said laughing loudly.

"Lizzie stop." Gordo said while trying to pull Lizzie into the kitchen.

"Let go of me Smordo! Hahaha Gordo! Did you know that means fat in spanish? Fat like Miranda is going to get?" Lizzie yelled.

Someone turned off the music and Lizzie became the main attraction of the party.

"Lizzie. STOP. You're drunk. You're making a scene." Gordo said, still trying to pull her out of the room.

"LET GO! You don't own me Gordo! In fact, I'm going to go makeout with Jake Manning. JAKE MANNING. He's in 10th grade. On the FOOTBALL team! What are you Gordo? I know what you are. You're BORING. B-A-R-E-N-G! Boring! HAHAHA!" Lizzie giggled as she fell to the ground.

"Whatever Lizzie...let's go Miranda. I'm sure you can stay over my house tonight." Gordo said as he looked at Lizzie in disgust.

"Be careful kids--you wouldn't want to get her pregnant again!" Kate yelled as Miranda grabbed her bag.

"Shut up Kate." Gordo said and headed towards the front door. As he reached out to grab the knob, the door opened.

Lizzie's parents stood on the front porch with shocked looks on their faces.

"WHAT is going on here!" Mrs.McGuire screamed.

Everyone at the party froze.

"Everyone OUT before I call all of your parents!" Mr.McGuire yelled.
