A/N: Okay, guys, here's an update! Remember to REVIEW! Thanks for all of the great reviews!

Lizzie quickly left the quad and didn't even know where she was going to go until the bell rang, signaling the start of her next class. So off she went to her class and managed to pretty much avoid Miranda and Gordo for the rest of the day.

Lizzie didn't think the day could get much worse, but on the way out to the parking lot to meet her mom, she tripped and got a grass stain on her brand new, white Capri pants.

Worst of all, Ethan and a crowd of his friends saw her.  "Dude, that was way harsh." Ethan called.

Lizzie blushed crimson, and picked herself and her books up off of the ground.

"This could not get any worse." Lizzie muttered as she stood up.

But when she brushed the hair out of her eyes, she saw that her mother had seen the whole thing, and had parked the car, and was now hurrying across the parking lot, to her.

"Lizzie, honey, are you all right?" Mrs. McGuire called loudly.

Lizzie wanted to disappear. "Yes, mom, I'm fine. You didn't have to get out of the car. I trip all of the time."

"I know, honey. I wonder if there is something we can do about that? It worries me. You are liable to hurt yourself one of these days. I just don't understand, you weren't a clumsy baby. It's something that just appeared." Mrs. McGuire continued to hover as she walked Lizzie to the car.

Lizzie groaned and sank into the passenger side seat. Buckling her seat belt, she chanced a look at the groups gathering on the lawn outside of the school, either waiting for the bus, or for their own rides to arrive.

Scanning the group she caught sight of Kate with her group of friends, smirking at her.

"Great. Just great." Lizzie muttered as her mother drove off.

Lizzie expected her mom to go straight home, but she turned into the parking lot of the local grocery store.

"What are we doing here?" Lizzie asked.

"I have to do the grocery shopping. I didn't have time to before I picked you up from school." Mrs. McGuire explained.

Sighing, Lizzie got out of the car and followed her mom inside.

Mrs. McGuire was infamous for taking a long time in the grocery store, so Lizzie headed over to beauty supplies, to pick up some more blush, and to browse, while her mom shopped.

Lizzie spent half an hour, looking at the beauty supplies, before she decided to go and find Mrs. McGuire.

Just as she started to exit the aisle, Miranda walked up. "Hey, Lizzie."

Lizzie gulped. "Hey, Miranda. What are you doing here?"

"My mom had to pick up some stuff for dinner, so I decided to come along. I needed some new lip-gloss. What are you doing here?" Miranda said.

"Mom picked me up today, and then had to stop here, so here I am. Plus I needed some blush, so I came to get some and to browse. You know how long mom takes shopping." Lizzie answered.

Miranda nodded knowingly. "So, Lizzie, about today at lunch."

"What about it?" Lizzie asked quickly.

"I think I know why you were so upset about Gordo not being here for the basket sale."

"I don't want to talk about this." Lizzie said and brushed past Miranda.

"I'm coming over later for dinner and to sleep over." Miranda called after her.

Lizzie knew she couldn't avoid this forever, but she wasn't even sure she knew what her feelings on the subject were. And she wasn't sure she wanted to.
