Lizzie McGuire.
What was there to say about her? Where would one begin to describe her? It was almost as if she had two completely different personalities.
On the one hand there was regular, simple Lizzie. And on the other, there was the torpid heartbreaker.
I think it would be much easier to describe the first. The latter is a bit more complex.
Simple Lizzie was your average sixteen year old teen. She hung out with her friends, complained about school, and loved music. She also had just about every good attribute anyone could have. Sweet, kind, likeable, funny, and smart. A little Miss Congeniality. She wasn't perfect, though. A little clumsy at times, and sometimes a bit shy. And how could I forget to add that she had her blonde moments?
This was Lizzie until High School hit. Then a change in her entire personality took place. It was almost as if she were an entirely different person. It wasn't really High School that had changed her. It was someone who changed her. The change wasn't forced upon her. It just sort of...happened.
Like a gradual thing. You know? Some subtle action continues taking place. And throughout the entire duration you fail to notice just how harmful it really is until it blows up in your face? Yeah well, this is quite similar.
Who is this person, you ask?
Parker.
Parker MacKenzie.
The two had been friends since the middle of second grade when Parker and her family moved to Hillridge all the way from New Jersey. It was the middle of the school year but she became quick friends with Lizzie and her best friend Miranda.
Parker and Lizzie had always had a somewhat friendly-competitive friendship, I guess you could say. They'd always compete over small things. Or see who owned 'the best' materialistic items. They were always even in their individual winnings.
Parker would win. Then Lizzie would win.
Lizzie would win. Then Parker would win.
Each year Parker would take their 'games' to the next level. Miranda always thought it was amusing to see them go at it. Both were determined to beat the other, no matter how stupid the competition was. Her amusement turned into skepticism when they entered High School.
This time Parker's games entailed putting others feelings at expense. It was then Miranda noticed how heartless she could be. She tried warning Lizzie to stop before things got out of hand. The blonde brushed it off as simple fun and games. It was like she was blind to see what she was doing, and that part scared Miranda.
