Chapter 1

"Can you go the the new pizza place after school today?" Miranda asked."I can't. Remember I'm still grounded from the trip." Lizzie was talking about the trip to Rome. She was grounded for skiping the class tours, and for lying to the chaperones. But Lizzie never regret it. She got her first kiss......from Gordo.

"I got to get to class. I have to get strait A's this quarter, or else I'm doomed." Lizzie explained to Miranda and Gordo. "Alright." Gordo agreed and lightly kissed Lizzie on the lips. Miranda started to giggle. "Get a room!" She teased. Lizzie smiled and walked towrdes her homeroom class.

After school, Lizzie, Miranda and Gordo met at the bus stop. "Maybe tomarrow night I can go to Rock n' Roll Pizza. Or we can go shopping!" Lizzie said smiling. She then said good-bye and kissed Gordo.

Lizzie walked into her house and saw a bunch of bags by the door. Lizzie walked into the living room to see her mom........and someone else sitting on the couch. "Uh....hi!" Lizzie said cheerfully. Lizzie's mom stood up and smiled. The girl on the couch turned around. It was Isabella! From Rome! Lizzie ran over and hugged Isabella. "How are you?!?!" Lizzie exclaimed. "Wonderful now that I've seen you!" Isabella said smilling.

Lizzie: I'm soooooo happy Isabella is here! She is like one of my best friends and now she is here......on my couch............IN MY HOUSE!!!!! This is great!

"Lizzie, why don't you go show Isabella your room, and show her around the house?" Mrs. McGuire suggested. "Ok!" Lizzie said happily. Lizzie ran over to the door, picked up all of Isabella's bags, and ran up the stairs. Isabella followed.

Lizzie helped Isabella un-pack and helped decorate her room so Isabella felt right at home. The phone rang. "Oh! Hang on just a minute Isabella!" Lizzie said, then ran over to the phone and answered it. "Hello?" "Hi! It's me." It was Gordo. "Hey! What's up?" "Homework! Have you finished problem 16?" Lizzie giggled. Gordo never calls for homework.....He's a genius! He always calls just to check on Lizzie. "I'm fine." Lizzie said giggling. "I have a guest over, so can I call you back later?" Lizzie asked. "Oh, yah, that's fine." Gordo said. They said bye and Lizzie helped Isabella un-pack some more.

After the girls finished un-packing, they went down stairs to have dinner.

After dinner,they went to go do some bowlling to celebrate having Isabella over. "So how long are you going to stay, Isabella?" Lizzie asked. "For about 2 weeks." Isabella said smiling.

The whole family and their guest went home and got ready for bed. Isabella was going to have a big day tomorrow, for she was going to go to school with Lizzie. It was going to be a good day for Isabella, but Lizzie was to soon find out that she was NOT going to have a good day! To be continued......
