The phone rang and Liz sat up. She had fallen asleep without
brushing her hair. Now there were knots in the bottom of her hair. Eyes
still closed, Liz grabbed her phone.
"Hello?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
"Liz, its mom. How are things going back home?" the familiar voice asked.
"Oh my god mom, it's horrible. Vanessa is due any day now so her and dad came home while Kyle was over! Me and Kyle were spending our last precious days together and stupid and stupider came home!" Liz complained putting her slippers on.
"What do you mean your last days together?" Jo asked.
"O yeah. I forgot to tell you. I got into Princeton. I'm leaving in a month."
"O Liz! Princeton! The Jersey shore! It will be great! And you will be so much closer to me!" Jo said rapidly talking. Liz missed her mom. Her sophomore year of high school was ruined when her parents go divorced. Liz had the choice between staying home or going to live in Delaware. She defiantly didn't want to leave Kyle, so she chose to stay. But now, she could see her mom whenever she pleased.
"Anyway mom, how is Danielle?" Liz asked. After Sam and Jo got divorced, Jo got pregnant and had a baby Liz's junior year of school. And now, any day, another half sibling would be born. Only, Matt would be the one stuck babysitting.
"She's great! She learned how to say Liz over the weekend!" Jo said happily. Liz smiled.
"I have to go now. I need to take a shower." Jo said her goodbyes and Liz hung up. Instead of going to the shower, Liz turned on her computer and logged on.
Skibitz312: Hey baby
It was Kyle. 3 12 was the date they started dating freshmen year.
LadyLiz312: Hey
Skitbitz312: My parents are going out tonight. Stay the night.
LadyLiz312: Really? I'd love to! I'll tell my dad im staying at Kate's. He'll never know
Skibitz312: I g2g. C-ya 2night?
LadyLiz312: You bet. Love ya!
Kyle logged off and Liz surfed the net for a little while. She searched for prom dresses. There was a blue one that she fell in love with. And she knew that Kyle would love it to. She clicked the ORDER NOW button and ordered it. After another hour or so of being online, she logged off and jumped into the shower.
"So, you're really going to Princeton?" Kate asked as they walked out of a music store.
"Yeah. I mean, I will be closer to my mom, and my younger sister."
"But what about when your step-mom has the baby?" Kate asked as they walked into VIKTORIAS SECERT.
"I really don't care what happens here. I mean, sure I'll want to see my little brother or sister sometimes but I more concerned about my mom. I need her more then I need my dad." Kate picked up a pair of underwear.
"Hey, why don't you get this for prom night?" she said holding it up. Liz laughed then took it.
"Maybe. I mean after all, Kyle's parents WILL be out of town prom night. O, what the heck! Maybe I should!" Liz said walking to the front desk with it. The clerk took it and gave her a look.
"Buying this for your mommy?" the older girl asked.
"No, it's for me. And why would you care?" Liz asked. Kate nodded.
"O, because you seem a little, young." Liz felt fiery.
"My prom night is less then two weeks away." She said throwing a 20 dollar bill on the table.
"Keep the change." Liz snatched up the bag and walked out of the store Kate following.
"Anyway, I don't know why you'd want to leave Kyle behind. He is going to college around here." Liz stopped in her tracks.
"What do you mean? He told you he's not going to Penn State?" Kate nodded.
"Listen, he said even though he'd be close to you, he still wants to go to the local college."
"He would rather stay here with town scum then be by me?" Liz said sitting on a bench. She threw the bag as hard as she could then scowled. Kate ran after the bag, pushing people away as she got on her knees to pick up the underwear which was tossed out. Liz looked around at the people who stared at her for throwing the bag.
Kate leaned next to her.
"I think its time we go."
The wind blew through Liz's hair like it was nothing. Kate's curls seemed weightless in the breeze. They drove up to Liz's house and unloaded the car. They had bags of stuff. Liz struggled with all her stuff on the way upstairs. She threw the bags into the corner and saw a package on her bed. Quickly, she ran to it and opened it. Sparkling before her very eyes was the dress. Baby blue, glitter almost every wear, dark blue thread forming flowers near the bottom. It was perfect.
"Hey Kate, look what just came in!" Liz called to Kate who was downstairs helping herself to some food. She ran upstairs with a chunk of cheddar cheese in her hands.
"Oh my god Liz! It's beautiful!" Kate said going to grab at it. Liz pulled away.
"Your hands are full of cheese! There is no way I'm letting you touch this!" Liz said, cradling the dress. Kate shook her head and sat on Liz's bed. Liz hung the dress up then picked up the bag containing her underwear. She slowly took the underwear out then threw it on the bed. Both of them leaned over and look at it. It sure said SEXY and SEX all over it. Kate finished the cheese, then picked up the underwear.
"Well, it seems way different owning the underwear then looking at them in the store," Liz said unloading her other bags. Kate put the underwear on the bed then took a piece of paper out of her pocket.
"Hey, I think we should all go on this," Kate said as Liz took the piece of paper.
"A trip to Miami? Are you serious?" Liz said looking it over.
"Why not? It's only like, what, five days before prom. Besides, Kyle already said he wants to go. Plus, we are only there for three days I think. By the time we get home, it will be two days before prom and you and Kyle will have moved up on your relationship. What'd you say?" Liz looked away and bit her lower lip. She faced Kate.
"I'm in! But only if Kyle goes if he doesn't, forget it!" Liz said snatching up the paper and pinning it to her wall. She looked it over again and faced Kate.
"Hmm, Miami."
"Hello?" she asked rubbing her eyes.
"Liz, its mom. How are things going back home?" the familiar voice asked.
"Oh my god mom, it's horrible. Vanessa is due any day now so her and dad came home while Kyle was over! Me and Kyle were spending our last precious days together and stupid and stupider came home!" Liz complained putting her slippers on.
