Chapter One

"School Project"

Saturday Evening

Lizzie's House

Lizzie walked downstairs and enters the kitchen, where her mom stood. "Mom, I am going to the library and then I am spending the night at Mel's house," Lizzie said, grabbing her keys from the counter.

"Lizzie, you can't spend the night at Mel's. You are grounded this weekend for sneaking out of the house, remember?" Jo reminded her daughter.

"Of course I remember, mom, but this is for a school project that is due Monday, and I am not doing well in that class," Lizzie said and she gave her mom her usual sad eyes.

Jo rolled her eyes. "Fine, whatever, but I want to see you tomorrow at some point."

"I'll try to be home, but I have to work late tomorrow and I might need to work on the project some more," Lizzie said.

"Fine, just call me at some point."

"Can I have my cell phone back?"

"No. And I am not sure when you are getting that back, but definitely not tonight."

"Fine," Lizzie said as she rolled her eyes and exited the house. Her parents also took away her car, so she started walking.

Seventeen-year-old Lizzie McGuire has changed since her middle school days. She now was somewhat a rebel without a cause who was sort of looked as an outcast from the rest of the school. She wore a lot of black and even had her hair died black with purple highlights. She was also constantly grounded because of her behavior, but she hadn't given up yet. Tonight, she had plans different from what she told her mom. She lied a lot to her mom. She WAS going to the library that night to pick up a book, but she was not going to stay at Mel's house that night. She was going to stay at her friend, Lee's house. Lee was a friend of hers, or as some would say, friend with benefits, and they were supposed to hook up tonight because his parents are out of town.

This particular night, Lizzie was wearing black pants and a black tee with lace around it. It was 5:44 when she got into the library. The library closed at six, which was when Lee was supposed to pick her up. When she got there, it was raining lightly, so she was relieved to be inside.

She then started looking for the book in the history section, and found it. She was on her way to check it out, when she got distracted by a display of used books on sale in the corner. She went through those, throwing the books on the floor. She found one that she wanted to buy, and realized she needed to put the large pile of books she threw on the floor back where they belonged, so she started to pick the books back up. Once she picked up the books, she looked at her watch, which said 5:44. Good she had sixteen minutes. Wait, she thought. That is what he watch said the last time she looked at it. She tapped her watched, only to realize it was dead, so she went around looking for a clock. She finally found a clock, and it said 6:15.

It was then when the lights turned off and she heard the sound of keys locking a door. She ran up to the front of the library, only to find through the window the last car at the library driving off. Damn she thought to herself as she leaned against the wall and fell into a sitting position. She then screamed to herself.

Little did she know that she was not alone in that library that night. Somewhere on the second floor of the library was a David Gordon, who woke up startled by hearing a scream. He had fallen asleep in the library.

David Gordon, who used to be known as "Gordo," had changed quite a bit himself over the years. He was still pretty short, but he was now was fondly called a nerd at school, and spent most of his time outside of school in the library, like for this night, for example. He stayed up late the night before watching a Mr. Ed marathon, and came to the library this afternoon, still tired, and sat on a bean bag chair to read a book, only he dozed off mid-read, and no one bothered to wake him up.

But he woke up when he heard screaming. Once he heard it, he rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch, which read 6:17. This caused him to jump up and run downstairs to the entrance, only to find it locked. Shit, he said to himself as he paced for a minute. When he looked up, he saw what he never thought he would see again in his life, Lizzie McGuire, his old best friend, who was staring at him.

"What are you doing here?" Lizzie said coldly.
