Chapter 3
So this is love
Max: Ah love. Where would we be without love? Love is perhaps the most important feeling of all. Some even say love makes the world go round. But that world can spin completely out of control when you're in. The Leeds Zone.
Mission: None at this time
Location: N-Tek
Lizzie walked around N-tek looking for Berto. But she couldn't find him anywhere. Finally after a couple minutes of searching Lizzie spotted Berto sitting in an op room tapping away on his laptop. A smile crossed Lizzie's face. She walked over to Berto. "Hi Berto," Lizzie said cheerfully running up to him. "Eek," screeched Berto. "Go away. I don't want any trouble. Please have mercy!" Lizzie sighed. "For the millionth time Berto, I'm not going to hurt you." Berto looked at her warily. "Ok, you can stay but only if you promise to stay at least three feet away from me at all times." Lizzie rolled her eyes but sat down three feet away from him anyway. Lizzie looked at Berto out of the corner of her eye. She had always admired how smart Berto was. She had a crush on for as long as she could remember. But she had never noticed how cute he was before. She liked his cute little glasses, and he had real nice eyes. As if hearing her thoughts Berto turned and looked at her. Lizzie smiled sweetly. Berto scooted a few inches away, and then went back to work. Lizzie frowned. She scooted a little closer to Berto, and then sat there smiling at him. Berto turned and looked at Lizzie. He jumped. "Why are you staring at me," he shouted. Lizzie smiled. "You're so cute when you're mad," Lizzie said giggling. Berto's face turned white. "No. It's not possible! I have to get out of here!" Berto jumped up and ran for the door. Unfortunately for him the door was closed, and he ran smack into the door instead. Lizzie screamed and ran over to Berto. "Berto! Are you ok my love," she asked hopefully. "Aaah," screamed Berto. "Get away from me!" He got up and ran out the room. Lizzie sighed happily. "He's so cute when he plays hard to get." Berto ran down the hall, and into the workout room. Max was alone, just finishing up his work out. "Max! Max you got to help me," Berto yelled running up to Max. Max was instantly on alert. "What! What's wrong," Max asked in a concerned voice. "It's it's.," Berto gasped trying to catch his breathe. "It's what," yelled Max "Lizzie!" Max rolled his eyes. "Berto we talked about this, remember with the doctor? Lizzie is not out to kill you. She's just a kid. Think happy thoughts. Go to your inner happy place," Max said softly. "I'm not talking about her trying to kill me," Berto yelled. "I'm talking about her having a crush on me!" Max turned and looked at Berto. "Are you serious," he asked. Berto shook his head yes. "I'm positive Hermano," Berto said in a small scared voice. "Ah ha ha ha ha ha," laughed Max. "Well congrats bro I think you two make a great couple." He laughed even harder. Berto scowled at Max. "I didn't tell you so you could make jokes Hermano. I told you because I thought you'd be a real friend and help me," Berto snapped. "I'm sorry bro but It's just so funny," Max said trying to stop laughing. "Besides I couldn't possibly help you. I have my own love problems right now. Laura isn't exactly talking to me right now. I don't even know why. I guess she doesn't want to date anymore. But you know she could have just told me. I mean we could have worked it .." "Hello! Sorry to interrupt, but I'm the one that has a psycho kid in love with him. I'm the one that needs help! You and Laura are old news. And besides she's not a psycho out to kill you," Berto exclaimed at the top of his voice. "Ok Berto. Sheesh! You really need to calm down. Just sit her down and explain the situation to her. She's a genius. I'm sure she will understand," said Max. Berto looked at him shocked. "Are you loco Hermano?! You want me to tell that to Lizzie! The same Lizzie that poured acid on my computer? The same Lizzie that put Brazilian fire ants in my bed so I could feel 'Closer to home,'? The same Lizzie who tied me to a tree and tried to burn me at stake for her renaissance project for school?! Are you out of you mind!" Max sighed. "I guess you are just going to have to figure something else out then bro," said Max seriously. "I guess I am," snapped Berto. "And I guess since your not going to help me I'll go do that now. Thanks for nothing Max." He turned and walked off. He slowly and cautiously made his way to the Team Steel op room. When he reached the room he peaked inside. Lizzie was nowhere in sight. "If you're looking for Lizzie she left with Rachel a while ago," called out a voice from behind him. Berto jumped. Jake shook his head. "You know you really need to calm down. You're to hyper lately," Jake pointed out. "You're sure she's gone," asked Berto with hope in his voice. "No doubt about it," replied Jake. Berto sighed in relief. "I guess I'll go finish up the rest of my work then," said Berto turning to go. "Oh wait! Lizzie said to give this to you," Jake informed the genius. Jake took a small letter out of his pocket and handed it to Berto. Berto took the letter and opened it. It was a small love note in the shape of a heart. Berto gasped. "Ha ha ha. Enjoy sucker," laughed Jake as he walked off. "Madre de Dios," cried out Berto. "I'm in serious trouble."
Notes: Lizzie has a crush on Berto. Hold on to seat.
Max: Now crushes are a normal part of life, I'll give you that. But crushes can crush you when you're in. The Leeds Zone.
Aw poor Berto. I just can't help but torture the poor guy. Well Lizzie will anyways. I decided I was focusing a bit too much on Max and Rachel and not enough on Lizzie. So the next chapter or so will be about her. Read n Review!
