~*~ Ahhh . . . a new story . . . I love the feeling . . . lol . . . just joking. Well, not about the new story thing but . . . oh whatever . . . ~*~

Lizzie was sitting in her chair in Math starring down Miranda. Ever since high school Lizzie and Miranda stopped being friends. Gordo, of course, sided with Lizzie at first. Then he and Miranda started going out and Lizzie didn't have a reason for living. Her best friends were gone. She told herself she would make new friends, and she did. They weren't like Gordo and Miranda, though. They were all into skateboarding. Which became Lizzie's new *thing*. It was now what she lived for. Mrs. Dobkins handed Lizzie a test back. She looked down and saw a D-. Even though she acted like she didn't care, inside she knew she did.

When she got home her parents were standing in the foyer waiting for her. "What is this? The welcoming committee?" She was now sixteen with an attitude.

"Elizabeth Brooke McGuire!" said Mrs. McGuire.

"What did I do this time?" Not like she cared or anything.

"You were skateboarding on school grounds?" asked Mr. McGuire.

"Oh, yeah . . . I did this wicked kick flip in the air doing a 180. It was *sweet*!"Lizzie said totally disregarding her mom's anger.

"I don't care how *wicked* your air kick was . . . "

"Kick flip . . . mom, it's *kick flip*"

"I don't care . . . you're grounded . . . no skateboard for a month."

"Just for boarding at school?"

"Lizzie, you know it's against the rules." Mr. McGuire said calmly. He looked a little scared standing next to Mrs. McGuire.

"Whatever . . . I'll be in my room." As she walked up the stairs her test fell out of her backpack. Jo picked it up.

"A D-! Lizzie, you promised you'd ace this one. Math is your best subject!"

"Yeah mom, back in, like, eighth!"

She stormed up to her room. Soon her parents came up. "Lizzie . . . pack your things." Jo said sadly.

"What why?" Lizzie yelled.

"You're going to your aunt and uncles house."

"WHAT!! Which ones!"

"Aunt Tina and Uncle Ryan."

"Bu . . . But they . . . they live in . . . in . . . "

"Pennsylvania." Said Matt walking in, "Lizzie's moving!"

"But mom! What's there to do in . . . *Pennsylvania*!"

"There's lots to do . . . you'll find out. Your cousins will show you around."

"You mean the poser, Andrew, or they retard Anna?"

"Anna is *not* a retard . . . she is very smart and pretty . . . and *she* still likes school."

"Mom! She's home schooled!!!"

"So . . . you'll learn a lot from them. Now *pack . . . your . . . things*!"

So that was it. She was moving to dullsville with her annoying four cousins and their loser home school friends. Without any fight.

~*~ I am *not* against home-school! I am home-schooled. And I actually like PA. It's.fun? Whatever. lol~*~
