Chapter 13: The Big News.

Lizzie walked into her house and announced her arrival, "I'm home!" Jo went to meet her.

"Hi, sweetie."

"So, what's this news?"

"How would you feel about going on a little graduation trip?"

"That'd be awesome! For how long?" Lizzie inquired.

"A month."

"Where are we going?"

"Correction: Where are YOU going?"

"What? You aren't going?"

"Nope. It's with your school."

'Oh, great. Knowing Hillridge, it'll suck.' Lizzie thought, "Oh, well, then where am I going?"

"Just to a little town. Actually you may have heard of it, Rome?"

"Did you just say Rome?! As in Italy!" Lizzie exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yup. Your school sent a letter home that you would be leaving a few weeks after graduation."

"I can't believe this!"

"So, I can take that as a yes?"

"Of course!" Lizzie jumped around and hugged her mom, "Thank you!"

"Lizzie, would you hate it terribly if we were chaperones, though?"

"No, that'd be cool. Come on, it's Rome! Why would I want you guys to pass up this opportunity?"

"Well, that's kind of you. I'm not positive that we will chaperone, but it is a possibility."

"OK Mom. I'm going to go upstairs now."

When Lizzie got upstairs, she saw that both Miranda and Gordo were on. She quickly started a conversation with both. The three went into a buddy chat together.

Liz_McG: Hey guys! I have some great news.
Randa_S: Hey, Liz! What's up?

Filmmaker: Ditto.

Liz_McG: We're going to Rome!

Randa_S: Excuse me?

Liz_Mcg: My mom said that Hillridge is sponsoring a trip to Rome a few weeks after graduation. I know I'm definitely going. There's no way your parents can say no, it's ROME!

Randa_S: Well, we'll see, I am only getting back next week.

Filmmaker: I think my parents would enjoy me away for a while. How long is it?

Liz_McG: a month.

Filmmaker: Wow, a whole month in a foreign country. That sounds so amazing. I could get some good footage.

Randa_S: Gordo, it isn't as amazing as you'd think

Liz_McG: You've had some fun in Mexico, right?

Randa_S: Yeah, I guess. I just miss you guys.

Randa_S: Oh, great. And now I get to miss you again. Even in a foreign country I have chores to do.

Liz_McG: Bye Miranda!

Filmmaker: See you in a week.

Randa_S; Yeah, bye guys.

Filmmaker: Liz, as much I would love sitting here talking to you, I'm afraid I still have some cleaning up to do from tonight and it is a little late.

Liz_McG: I know. I'm kinda tired, too.

Filmmaker: Talk to you tomorrow.

Liz_McG: Bye.

Filmmaker: Love you.

Liz_McG: Love you too.

A/N: Next big thing-their first day at school as a couple.
