Chapter 5- You can do it, if you really try!
The next day at school, the bell had rung. Matt was at his locker and Lanny was with him.
Matt: Hey, Lanny after school, do you want to go to the park?
Lanny started to answer, but he had remembered what Lizzie wrote to him, "Just act calm around your friends and maybe you will feel convent and talk to them."
Matt: Lanny? You alive?
He waved his hand back and forth.
*Lanny just shook his head yes.
Matt: Okay, do you want to go to the park after school?
*Lanny shook his head yes again.
Matt: Okay, after school at 3:12?
*Lanny shook his head yes.
Matt: Okay, see ya!
Matt was going to walk to his next class, but he turned back to Lanny.
Matt: Lanny, I wish that one day I can hear you talk. I don't care if it's only one word; I just want to hear you talk. But even if you don't even say a word I'll still be your best friend.
Matt left. After he left, Lanny felt that he wanted to talk to him, but I just couldn't. He was scared.
This song popped into his head:
In the morning when you wake up, Open your eyes to a new day, Look around at the gifts you've got, You've been so lucky along the way
Time to finish what you've begun Have the faith, you're the one Throw your hat high up to the sun
Now you face the greatest test Use the lessons that you've learned Your goal is to be the best And claim the prize that you've earned
Ever since you were a young man You've kept your eye on the master plan To reach for the top-and touch the sky
It's your destiny, to spread your wings and fly
You can do it if you really try You can do it if you really try Spread your wings and learn to fly You can do it if you really, really try
Keep movin' forward to stay alive Trust your heart and you'll survive Follow your dreams, never let them die
It's your destiny, to spread your wings and fly.......
Lanny walked to class.
***In class, Lanny wrote a note to Matt. After he had finished, he tapped on Melina's shoulder and gave it to her to pass to Matt.
Melina leaned over and slipped the note on his desk, luckily the teacher didn't see.
Matt opened the note that read, "Dear Matt, I don't really want to go to the park, but can you meet me at the Digital Bean, because I want to give you something, Something that you'll never forget. Thanks, Your friend Lanny!"
"I will never forget. Now what could that be? Um..."
*********In Gordo's and Lizzie's class**********
Gordo just finished writing a note to Lizzie. He passed it to Lizzie.
Lizzie (Whispering): What's this?
Gordo: A note from me.
*Toon Lizzie: What? A note from him, now that's scary!
Lizzie opened the note and began to read, "Dear Lizzie, I need to tell you something so meet me at the Digital Bean after school. It's something that you will not believe, but true. Thanks, Gordo."
Toon Lizzie: He needs to tell me something? What is it? Um...."
After school at the Digital Bean
Lanny was sitting at one of the tables. Gordo was sitting at one of the tables too.
Matt finally came in with Lizzie.
Lizzie: There you are Gordo!
She ran to him.
Matt: Lanny?
Lanny waved at him.
Matt: Oh, there you are!
Matt walked over and took his seat.
************************ Lizzie: So what did you want to tell me?
Gordo: ......Uh.....Well........
*************************
Lanny points to the cup he bought for Matt.
Matt: Oh, thank you Lanny.
Matt takes a sip.
Matt: Oh, cherry, my favorite! Now what was it you wanted to give me?
Lanny started to get that song in his head again:
You can do it if you really try You can do it do if you really try Spread your wings and learn to fly You can do it if you really, really try
Keep movin' forward to stay alive Trust your heart and you'll survive Follow your dreams never let them die It's your destiny, to spread your and learn to fly.....
Then he remembered Lizzie's advice.
Matt: Lanny, you alive?
Lanny just sat there trying to get the words out.
********************** Lizzie: Yeah.
Gordo: Um......uh.....uh.....
**********************
Matt: You okay?
Lanny tried even harder, but still no words came out of his mouth.
Matt sat there waving his hands in front of Lanny's face.
Matt: Lanny, do something so I won't do this to you.
Matt picked up an ice cube and put it down Lanny's back.
Lanny finally said something.
Lanny (Screams): Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! COLD,COLD, COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matt just stared at him; his mouth dropped wide open.
Lizzie and Gordo heard the commotion and looked over there.
Matt: L-L-L-L-L-Lanny! Y-Y-You've talked!
Lanny: Well, yeah because YOU put an ice cube down my back!!!!!!!!!!
********************************
an Gordo looks at Lizzie and starts to say......
Gordo (Gulps): Uh....Lizzie, the reason I said to meet me at the Digital Bean, because I want to tell you something that I kept from you since you went out with Ronnie.
*Toon Lizzie: Huh?
Lizzie: Gordo, what are you talking about?
Gordo: How can I say this? Well, I-I-I.........
Lizzie: Just say it Gordo!
Gordo: It's really hard to say. But, uh.....uh....um......I r-r-really l-l- li.....
Lizzie: Gordo just say it!
Gordo: I r-r-really l-l-like you Lizzie! So will you be my girlfriend?
Lizzie just sat there staring at him.
Gordo: I know we've been friends since forever, but when you've been friends with a boy all your life, they start to like you.
Lizzie: I-I-I- would like to be your girlfriend. In fact when I was in the forth grade, I had a crush on you.
Gordo: You did!
Lizzie: Yeah, but now since we're girlfriend and boyfriend, we'll still be best friends! Right?
Gordo: Right!
Gordo got up, Lizzie did too and Gordo asked, "Should I walk you home?" Lizzie answered, "Sure! I'll love it!"
I realize that You will give me all of Your love, I couldn't ever return it. I know that I could never give You reason enough
Your love came over me, You found the way to my heart.
Tell me why, What have I done? I got You, now You'll always be the one. Tell me how can this be true? I'm with You, now I really wanna know, tell me why.
Let everybody believe it, I want the world to see the kind of love that we've got. Deep down in me I can feel it, I'm gonna give You all I have and no matter what,
You're love came over me, You found the way to my heart.
Tell me why, What have I done? I got You, now You'll always be the one. Tell me how can this be true? I'm with You, now I really wanna know, tell me why.
I'm gonna wait no longer To show how I really feel. My love is growing stronger, You're all that I need.
You are my love for life, Nothing can tear us apart.
Tell me why, What have I done? I got You, now You'll always be the one. Tell me how can this be true? I'm with You, now I really wanna know.
Tell me why, What have I done? I got You, now You'll always be the one. Tell me how can this be true? I'm with You, now I really wanna know, tell me why. Tell me why, Tell me why.
