***Thanks for the reviews! They mean a lot to me and I am sorry about the black/purple hair thing. In my mind, the hair color was more half blonde/half black with a few purple highlights...its hard to explain, but I am glad you are enjoying it. Please continue to review!***
Chapter Two
Old Friends
David looked at the girl, and recognized her immediately. Lizzie and David did not generally associate with each other in high school. Lizzie taunted him somewhat, but it wasn't terrible. David was less that thrilled to find out that he was stuck in the library with Lizzie for the time being. He prayed that this situation was only tempory.
"Well if it isn't Lizzie McGuire," Gordo said.
"The one and only," Lizzie retorted. "What are you doing here?" Lizzie repeated.
"What do you mean 'what are you doing here?' The better question is why are you here?" David retorted with a hint of anger.
Lizzie rolled her eyes. "Believe it or not, you are not the only one who can read in this tragic world, and i went to go pick up a book or two. That isnt important right now, though. The important thing is how are we going to get out. Is there a phone around here?" Lizzie asked, looking around.
David turned on the lights. "There should be one behind the counter," he said, walking over to the counter, where Lizzie already was looking. She found a portable phone on the desk, and picked it up and started to dial. This is easy enough Lizzie thought to herself. She will be out of here in no time, all she had to do was call Lee or Mel to pick her up. She picked up the phone, though, only to find no tone. She followed the phone chord to find that it was not plugged in. Annoyed, she bent down to plug it in. As she plugged it in, however, a big clap of thunder was heard, and with that, the lights turned off, and so did the computer. This could only mean one thing---the power was out. This meant the phone would not work.
"Ugh! Can this day get any worse?" Lizzie asked out loud.
"It could be worse. You could be alone," David said, trying to cheer her up.
"Um, that would actually make things better," Lizzie said as she got up and started to pace outside the librarian's counter. She stopped after pacing several times to ask David, "Do you by any chance have a cell phone?"
"Actually, no. I believe cell phones are harmful to the environment and are not safe," Gordo said as if he were about to go into a lecture.
"Okay..." Lizzie said as her eyes widened to say "what a weirdo!" "Whatever floats your boat," she said.
"Besides," David started, "Do you not have a cell phone yourself?"
"Yeah, well I was grounded last week for something I didn't even do, but my cell phone was taken away anyway."
"Well, it looks like you and me are stuck together for the night, then," Gordo said.
"WHAT?! NO! I have plans tonight. What time does this place open tomorrow?"
David thought for a moment, and all of the sudden, his eyes widened. "Tomorrow is Sunday, and the library is closed on Sundays," he said as he hit his head with his hand.
