Chapter 3
The last day of school is going to be over in 10 seconds. Lizzie thought. 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. RING! She scrambled to her feet gathering her notebook, purse, and binder. She was out the door of the classroom in a flash. She found Miranda at her locker.
"Hey Lizzie! Summer has officially begun!"
"I know! The only problem is that the day Gordo leaves is two days after summer starts. That means I have two days and a half days to tell him."
"Remember our plan. Tonight we meet at the digital bean all three of us, and I pretend to have to go babysit..."
"...and once you leave, I tell him," finished Lizzie.
"Exactly! Don't worry, it won't be so bad."
"I guess. Miranda he's coming this way!" Gordo was walking down the hall towards them.
"Only two and a half days till I am on my way to Europe!" he said grinning as he reached them. "I'm already done packing."
Lizzie grimaced, "Yeah, only two and a half days." Miranda elbowed Lizzie. "I mean yeah! Only two and a half days!" Miranda rolled her eyes.
"Gordo, me and Lizzie were going to go to the digital bean tonight. You want to come?"
"Sure! I plan on spending every second before I leave with you guys. That way I can sort of, make up for my being gone all summer." Something sort of like a choked sob escaped from Lizzie. "Uh Lizzie, are you ok?"
"Yeah sure, why wouldn't I be?"
"Well it's just that every time I mention my trip you start acting all weird."
"No I don't. I'm ok, really I am. Don't worry about it."
"O-k...if you're sure."
"I am. I'll see you guys tonight." Lizzie turned around and walked away quickly.
"Is she mad at me?" Gordo said bewildered.
"No she isn't."
"Then why is she always running away when I talk to her?"
"Ok, you know how we were talking at the park yesterday?"
"Yeah..."
"Well after I left I went to her house. She told me why she was acting all weird."
"And what would that reason be?"
"She's planning on telling you tonight at the digital bean."
"Ok, I guess I'll find out then."
