Chapter 5: Need A Lift???

Elizabeth was having a very bad day. She couldn't stand seeing Tia being so happy. I can't believe I actually thought that Conner would come back to me, she thought. Everyone had heard that Conner and Tia were going to go to the school dance on Friday together. He was supposed to take me but I guess that won't be happening anymore. She walked to the student parking lot sadly.

Conner was just driving out of the school parking lot when he saw Elizabeth's Jeep with a flat tire. She was just walking toward it. I bet she didn't even see it yet, he thought, should I offer her a ride? Then he saw Elizabeth's expression change when she got near to her car.
"Hey" he called out.
She turned around, "Hey" she replied.
"Need a lift?" he asked.
"That's ok, I can handle it myself." Elizabeth replied coldly.
"You sure?" Conner asked again.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Elizabeth said and walked back to the school.
Well at least I tried, Conner thought, it's not my fault that she's acting so stubborn.

Tia was grinning from ear to ear. She couldn't stop smiling. It was such a great day. I can't believe that Conner actually said yes when I asked him today, she thought, but then again he probably wanted to say yes for a long time.
"Tia" Coach Laufield called out.
"Yeah Coach?" Tia said.
"Since you're new to this school, I was thinking maybe you could ask someone to be the co-captain." Coach said.
"Well…….." Tia started to say but was interrupted when everyone started to come in.
"Think about it." The coach said and told her to start leading the routines.
Who can I choose as I co-captain? Tia thought, maybe I should choose Jessica or should I choose Melissa. This was definitely a hard question and Tia couldn't pick which person to choose. Both girls were so experience but Jessica could tell me more things about Liz and see if she's actually going after for Conner. Hmmm……, Jessica it is.

Why did it have to be today that I would have a flat tire? Elizabeth thought as she made her way back to the school. I'll just have to go tell Jessica now. She walked into the gym and saw Tia leading the routines.
"Hey Jess." Liz called out. Everyone in the room turned around to face her.
Jess turned around. "Hey Liz." She said, "What are you doing here?"
"Um… our car has a flat tire." Liz said.
"Oh" Jess said, "And……?"
"Well you'll have to catch a ride with someone." Liz said.
"What about you?" Jess asked.
"I'll catch a ride with Maria." Liz said, "She's working on the Oracle today."
"Well are we done yet?" Cherie said.
"Yeah." Liz replied and shot her a dirty look.

What was that about? Tia thought as Liz walked out of the gym. It was so obvious she wanted to get some attention like she always wanted.
"Hey guys." Tia said, "I'm going to end this practice a little earlier today."
"Thank God." Cherie said and started to get her things ready.
"Annie, can you give me a ride home?" she heard Jess asked.
"Okay." Annie replied.
"Can I catch a ride with you too Annie?" Tia asked.
"Sure." Annie said.
"I'll wait for you guys at the parking lot." Tia said as she got her stuff and walked out of the gym.
She was walking to the parking lot when she saw Conner just sitting in his car. He seems to be waiting for someone. I knew it, Tia thought, he's waiting for me to come after practice. Her heart filled with joy as she tried her best to walk calmly to his car.
"Hey." Tia said.
Conner looked up at her and said, "Hey."
"Who are you waiting for?" Tia asked with a big smile.
"Liz." Conner replied.
"Liz?" Tia said, her smile immediately faltered.
"Yeah." Conner said, "I was going to give her a ride home but she wouldn't let me."
"So why aren't you home?" Tia asked.
"I was going to wait here for a couple of minutes just in case she changed her mind." Conner replied.
"Oh." Tia said.
"Why are you out so early?" Conner asked, "Don't you have cheerleading practice?"
"Yeah but I decided to end it." Tia said, "I wasn't feeling too well."
"Well I better get going." Conner said, "I'll talk to you later."
He pulled away from the parking lot and drove home. I can't believe this, Tia thought, he still thinks about Liz. Ugh! I can't stand it.
"Tia" Annie called out interrupting her thoughts, "We're ready to go."
"Coming." Tia replied and walked toward Annie's car. I'm going to make sure that by Friday night I'll make Conner completely forgot about Liz.

Bad Things That Have Happen To Me Lately
1. Catching Conner and Tia kissing.
2. Flat tire.

Three things is bad enough. I definitely don't need a four.
