Chapter Ten
Even More Surprises
Elizabeth pulled off the street heading out of the SVH parking lot and onto the highway. "Liz? Can I ask you something?" Megan asked. Elizabeth turned down the volume of the music.
"Yeah, shoot."
"Do you know a guy named Todd Wilkins?" Now that was a loaded question. Megan interrupted her thoughts. "He's a senior, tall, brown hair, on both the football and basketball teams..."
Elizabeth cut her off. "Believe me, I know who he is. What exactly do you want to know about Todd?"
Megan smiled. "He walked up to me and introduced himself on Friday, called me over the weekend, and asked me out today. He seems really nice."
"Did you accept?"
"Yeah. But how well do you know him? Like, did I do the right thing?" Megan asked, a questioning look on her face.
"I assume as much, I wasn't sure how much he'd dated since junior prom..."
"What happened then?"
"Well, to start, Todd and I dated all through middle school and all last year. Jess and I kind of both pretended to Elizabeth and ended up hurting both Todd and this other guy named Devon. It was a huge mess, but that's another story, and we're already at your house." Megan rolled her eyes. "You can tell me later. Or I'll ask Todd myself. After all, our date's tonight!" Megan said, slamming the door to the jeep and running up to the front door. Once she was inside, Elizabeth backed down the driveway and into the street. So Todd was interested in Megan. Very interesting.
Jessica heard the Jeep pull into the driveway, and saw her sister walk out. Melissa had just left, so she bounced downstairs to see her twin.
"Hey Liz! What's up?"
Elizabeth gave her sister a look. "You're a bit perky today, aren't you? I can tell you want to tell me something, so spill."
Jessica smiled as she and Elizabeth walked up the stairs and into her rooms. "Melissa apologized to me today, and we're friends now."
"You're kidding me, right!" Elizabeth exclaimed, amazed.
"Not in the slightest. Will dumped her again, that's why he called her on Friday night." Jessica grinned wickedly. "We dumped a whole container of cheap French perfume in his gym locker."
"You did not!" Elizabeth laughed. "That's bad!"
"I know, that's why I did it!" Jessica was laughing too now. "What's up in Lizzie Land?" Elizabeth stuck her tongue out. "Well, Todd asked Megan out on a date."
Jessica nodded, and then grinned mischievously. "And how are things with Conner?" Elizabeth blushed, but only for a minute. "Well, how are things with Jeremy? Still wondering about Saturday night?" Jessica couldn't believe her sister.
"Elizabeth!" "All's fair in love and war."
"And all's fair in pillow fights!" Jessica had picked up her pillow, and began to give Elizabeth what she deserved.
At school the next morning, Tia was milling around, looking for Elizabeth. She needed to talk to her. Finally, she spotted her friend. "Hey Liz!" She called, and hurried down the crowded hall, where she was trying to open her locker.
"Hey Tia. Damn lock!" She cursed kicking the door. "It always jams."
"Okay, I know you're having a fight with you locker, but I need to talk to you." "Okay." Elizabeth said, giving her locker a last kick. It popped open. "Thank you, Lord!"
Tia laughed. "Okay, do you know that Conner's birthday is next week, or did he conveniently not tell you?"
Elizabeth took a book from her locker. "He didn't tell me. What are you planing?" Tia smiled. "Just a little surprise party. I need your help as a distraction."
"Okay, all you have to do is tell me what the plan is."
Tia laughed. "I like that attitude. First of all, I called his mom last night, so the thing is going to be at his place. Second, this isn't' going to be a small party. We didn't do anything for his seventeenth birthday, so we gotta go something this year."
Elizabeth nodded. "Sure, I'm glad to help. Only the best for my man." Laughing, the girls walked down the hall.
Journals:
Megan Sandborn
I really like Todd Wilkins. He's really nice, and cute, and a good kisser! I think that he likes me too.
Todd Wilkins
Megan's really sweet, she's nice, pretty, and fun to be around. She reminds me of Liz, but not in the same way. I think that I'm completely over Liz now. Besides, Megan and I have another date next weekend.
Elizabeth Wakefield
I can't believe that Conner didn't tell me his birthday was coming up. Oh well. This party is going to be really cool. He'll thank us for it later, even if it isn't his thing.
