Once at school Lizzie located her locker and found out it was really close to Miranda AND Gordos. Bad news it was RIGHT next to Kates. Despite the fact that Kate and Lizzie had reconnected in Rome, Kate was back to her old, bitchy, self. As lizzie was shoving her things into her locker Kate showed up. All she could see was Lizzie from behind. Kate was excited because she figured she had a locker next to a sophmore, maybe even a junior. "Hi! I'm Kate. We are like neighbors!"

Lizzie heard Kates voice and she turned and smirked towards the voice. She started to laugh when she saw Kates face turn from excited to horrified. "LIZZIE!" "The one and only, Kate." Kate looked more then horrified, she looked pissed off. "What HAPPENED to you?" Lizzie smiled and thought to herself that Kate may not be such a bitch this year. I mean they all had changed over the summer, right? "I just lost a little weight and dyed my hair. You like?" Kate finally was able to close her mouth. "Ugh. You are SUCH a poser. Look at you? And whats with that tottaly outdated outfit." Lizzies smirked at Kate. "I should have known that you would stay the same person you were in middle school. I mean thats cool if you like being stuck in your past, I guess." Lizzie was amazed with herself. Gordo walked up behind Lizzie and put an arm around her shoulder. "Hey Kate, how was your summer?" Kate looked even more shocked "GORDO!" Was all she could say. Lizzie smiled. Gordo HAD gotten hot over the summer and it was obvious in Kates face. "What ever. I don't have time for you dirks." Kate turned and walked off.

Lizzie turned to Gordo and smiled. "You know she wanted you, right?" He grinned at her. "Too bad." Lizzie loved how they flirted. She would love it even more after that night. She had so many tricks up her sleve he wouldn't be able to handle it. Or, atleast she hoped she did.

"So show me your schedule, Mr. Hottie." Gordo grinned and pulled it out. Lizzie compaired them and sighed. "Well that sucks. We don't have ANY classes together today, only one tomorrow, and we only share lunch on B days." He frowned. "I never realized how much they would separate everyone in high school." Lizzie shook her head in agreement. "I mean we don't have lunch together. What if I don't have lunch with Miranda! I'll have to it by myself. I can't handle it..." Gordo cut her off. "Lizzie. You will be fine. Trust me." He looked right into her eyes and she felt like he could see her soul. She did trust him. She trusted him completely. "Oh Liz. I have to go find my first class. I guess I will just see you in between classes and today on the bus ride home?" She nodded and hugged him goodbye.

Just then Miranda walked up, and she looked excited. "Lizzie. I HAVE A DATE!" Lizzie laughed. "What? We've been at school for 15 minutes and you have a date?" Miranda beamed. "Remember my hottie seat partner on the bus? He asked me out. Oh. HES A FRICKIN SENIOR." The girls squealed and hugged. "How AWESOME!" Lizzie hugged her friend tightly. Then she remembered she wanted to talk with Miranda about something. "Randa, I know you are excited but I really need to talk to you about something. Can we hang out after school and be alone?" Miranda's eyebrows arched. "Sure, McGuire. Is everything ok?" Lizzie smiled. "Everything is perfect. Don't worry. It's about Gordo." Miranda smiled. "Are you two kids FINALLY gonna get together. I mean you guys have kissed. It's only a matter of time!" Lizzie shrugged her sholders. "Look. I will fill you in tonight, ok?" Miranda agreed and they hugged goodbye.
