Chapter Nine: Will Lizzie Cheat on Gordo?

A/N: Sorry I haven't updated lately, but I've been busy with school assignment and stuff. Plus, I was just going to have the graduation chapter after the last one, but now I think I'll add a few more.

"Ugh," Lizzie groaned, as she got up to go to the office. "Be right back." She grabbed her backpack and walked to the office.

Lizzie arrived at the office, where Ethan was already waiting. She walked up to the secretary and asked her why she had been called up. The secretary replied that she didn't know, the principal wanted to speak with her, and she should sit down until he was ready.

Lizzie sighed and collapsed into the chair next to Ethan, without bothering to look at him. After a couple minutes of silence, the principal opened his office door and called the two of them in.

"Sit down," he said, and motioned his hands towards the two chairs that sat in front of his desk. They did, and waited patiently. "I'm sorry to tell you, you both have detentions tomorrow," he said.

"What?! Why?" Lizzie burst out.

"Settle down, Miss McGuire. We found out that the both of you had ditched yesterday," he said.

"I didn't ditch!" Lizzie almost yelled.

"Shh!" the principal said. "Yesterday, second hour, you were not in class, but you were in every other class."

Lizzie realised that she had been in the bathroom crying yesterday in second hour. Her favorite cousin had died, and she couldn't go to second hour because she just started crying. "But I was here, I was-" she started.

"Don't argue, there's nothing you can do about it," he replied. "And Mr. Craft, you ditched the whole day, we have it confirmed." Ethan didn't say anything. "So," the principal continued. "You will serve your detentions tomorrow after school for an hour, if you don't show up, your punishment will be doubled. That's all, you can leave."

Lizzie got up quickly and hurried out back to her friends. When she got there, Miranda asked, "What did they want you for?"

"I got a detention because I didn't go to second hour yesterday."

"Oh. When do you have to serve it?" Miranda asked.

"Tomorrow. After school. For an hour," she said.

"That sucks," Gordo said.

"I know," she said.

Soon the day was over, as was the next, and Lizzie was heading towards the detention room. The detention teacher was the freshman English teacher, Mr. Diller. He took Lizzie's detention slip and told her to sit down next to Ethan. She did, and suddenly Mr. Diller muttered something.

"Freakin' 5th period. Slipping Ex-Lax into my coffee. Those little bastards," he said under his breath. To Lizzie and Ethan, he said: "Be right back kids. Don't go anywhere." And he hurried out of the room.

Ethan sighed and leaned back in his chair. Lizzie glanced at him to notice that he was staring at her.

"What do you want?"

"Hmm," he said.

"What do you want?" she repeated.

He got out of his seat, sort of suavely, and stood in front of her desk.

"You're really starting to scare me," she said, and got up. He walked toward her, and she backed up until she was against the wall. He beant in towards her, and moved his lips towards hers for a kiss.

Sorry it's so short. But I wanted a cliff-hanger and it came so quickly, so I just ended it there. But is Lizzie going to pull away from the kiss or let into it? To find out if she cheats or not, read the next chapter, when I get it up.
