The day was Friday, June 27th. It was about 10:30 AM and Lizzie was sitting on the couch in the living room looking for something to watch. The phone rang and Lizzie leaned over to pick it up.
"Hello?" Lizzie asked.
"Hey, Lizzie, what are you up to?" Andrew questioned.
"Oh hey, I'm just trying to find something decent on TV. What about you?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to come over to my house this afternoon and swim. I'm inviting Miranda, also," Andrew told her.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that'll be okay. What time?"
"How about 6:30? And plan on eating here, too," Andrew said.
"Okay, I'll be there. And, where do you live? I just realized that I've never been to your house," Lizzie said, mildly embarrassed.
"It's cool," Andrew replied. He gave her directions and the address, and then they hung up.
*****************************************
At about 6:00, Andrew was walking Miranda through his house. The place was absolutely huge, similar to something that you'd see on MTV Cribs.
"Well, I see you have everything planned out for tonight," Miranda told him.
"I know. I think I covered everything- music, location, timing. Everything should go over smoothly," Andrew said.
"But do you really think Lizzie is going to go for this?" Miranda asked.
"Trust me. I'll get my way in the end," Andrew said slyly.
***************************************************
Around, 4:30, Lizzie found herself driving in a very nice neighborhood.
"Did he give me the wrong directions?" she asked herself. She continued to drive. "You have got to be kidding me!"
Lizzie was in front of a gate that said "Oldham" on the nameplate. She still wasn't sure if she was at the right house, but she pressed the call button anyway. She told told the person her name, and the gate opened. Lizzie pulled into a driveway where she saw Miranda's Celica. The house was easily the biggest one in the neighborhood. Lizzie stepped out of her car and walked the path to the front door. She rang the doorbell and after a second, Andrew came and opened the door.
"Lizzie! We've been waiting for you," Andrew told her.
"Andrew, why didn't you tell me that you're a bazillionaire?" Lizzie asked.
"It's not something I like to brag about. My dad accidentally invested in Microsoft when he was eighteen. I don't tell people because I don't want to get the whole 'snobby little rich boy' title," Andrew explained.
"So you have a lot of money, but you can't afford a better t-shirt?" Lizzie wondered. Andrew was currently wearing a shirt that said "DETROIT- WHERE THE WEAK ARE KILLED AND EATEN."
"Hey, I can't abandon my supersense of style. Anyway, Miranda's out back by the pool," Andrew told her.
They walked outside, and Andrew had one of those pools with rocks and waterfalls and such. Andrew took his shirt off which led to awe of Lizzie and Miranda. He was in very nice shape.
Miranda leaned over to Lizzie and whispered, "Did you know he looked like that?" without taking her eyes off Andrew.
"I had no idea," Lizzie whispered back, still not taking her eyes off Andrew.
"I can see you staring at me," Andrew said to the two. "Please don't make fun of me. I play soccer and I kinda turned into this."
Lizzie and Miranda laughed at the way he hated all things popular. "We should tell the whole school about this, shouldn't we, Lizzie?" Miranda asked.
"Oh definitely," Lizzie replied.
Andrew then realized that they were mocking him, and the three started to laugh. Someone inside yelled to Andrew that the doorbell was ringing, so he ran inside to let the person in. He opened the door and there stood a very confused looking Gordo.
"Uh, Miranda gave me this address and said we were going swimming." Gordo asked.
"Oh yeah, we're having a little get together. Come on in," Andrew said with a smile on his face.
Andrew brought Gordo outside to the pool, and awkward looks came out from Lizzie and Gordo. They avoided eye contact the entire time that the group was swimming. The four played around on the waterslide and did jumps off the diving board until it started to dim outside.
"Well, I guess we should go inside and get cleaned up. I have a large shower, and sometimes the most fun part of swimming is showering in your swimsuit with a lot of people. Miranda, I believe I showed you the way earlier. Please go on and lead Gordo inside because I need to talk to Lizzie out here for a moment," Andrew said.
"Sure," replied Miranda. Gordo and Lizzie just looked a little confused.
"So," Lizzie started once they were gone, "what do you need to talk to me about?"
Andrew leaned down and gave her a good, long kiss.
Lizzie smiled. "What was that for?"
"I can't see you anymore," Andrew told her.
"What?"
"All this that we have- it's over. I don't want to kiss you, and I can't hold your hand," Andrew said, not speaking with his usual nice tone of voice.
"But I thought you liked me." Lizzie looked up with tears in her eyes.
"I don't. We can be friends but not like we were. I can't be that close to you. We're not on the same level," Andrew responded. "Now just wipe your tears and go inside and join Miranda and Gordo in the shower."
"You really are a snobby little rich boy," Lizzie yelled as she ran inside.
