~*~ Ok, Like I said in the first chapter . . . I'm *NOT* against home schooling. It really is fun. Sorry if I offended anyone. And, Thanks to a review I got, I'm going to tell how Lizzie, Miranda, and Gordo stopped being friends. ~*~

As Lizzie was packing she started thinking about before she had 'turned bad'. That's how the principal referred to it. She and Miranda were hanging out after school one day, they were both having a bad day. Soon, Lizzie said, "Hey Miranda, do you want to go to the mall?"

"Is that all you ever want to do?" Miranda was sick of Lizzie always wanting to go to the mall.

"No, but I'm bored and there's nothing else to do." Lizzie was started to get defensive.

"Well, unlike *you* Lizzie, I don't have a lot of money to waste."

"I didn't say you did. Besides, if you don't have any money I can lend you some."

"I don't want to take sympathy from you!"

"Miranda, I'm just trying to help."

"I don't need help from anyone! Just go back home to your fancy house and leave me alone!" Miranda was upset about money lately. It was because her parents were having financial problems. Lizzie didn't know that though. Soon, Miranda and her family moved to an apartment.

Lizzie didn't know what happened between Miranda and Gordo. One day they were mad at each other, the next they were going out and mad at Lizzie. So, she went behind the school to think. Some kids she had met a few times before were out there smoking. She wasn't in the mood to reprimand them, so when they offered her a cigarette she took it. That was the beginning of the end. Soon, her grades fell, she only skateboarded, she smoked, and her parents even thought she did drugs . . . but she didn't.

A knock on the door interrupted Lizzie's thoughts. "What?" she yelled.

"Yo, Liz . . . your parents are sending you away?" a tall blonde headed, blue eyed boy walked in. It was Lizzie's boyfriend, Josh. He was the best boarder at school. All of Lizzie's other, girl, friends wanted to date him. But Lizzie was the lucky one.

"Yeah, it sucks. I have to pack my things and leave by 10:00 tonight."

"Uhh . . . Liz, that's in half an hour."

"Crap, are you serious?"

"Yeah."

"Man, I haven't even packed my cds and boards . . . this is going to take forever!"

"Yeah . . . well, I have to go . . . I'm meeting some people for a thing."

Lizzie was disappointed, "Okay, bye Josh . . . see you . . . sometime."

"Hey, don't worry about it Liz. You'll be back before you know it. Besides, how bad can it be?

"Very."

"Okay, well, I'm going to go meet my people."

"Bye."

"Bye." He didn't even kiss her good bye. Around teachers they were always making out, but here, alone in a room, he couldn't kiss her goodbye? And she knew exactly where he was going. He was going to a club to dance with Verooca. Ever since she grew, lost weight, and tried to make herself look better, ever guy wanted to go out with her.

"Come on Lizzie . . . time to go to the airport." Her dad walked in.

"But I'm not done packing yet."

"Lizzie, we have to go . . . *now*."

"Hold on, I'll be right down." She stuffed the rest of her stuff in a suitcase and ran downstairs. "See ya barf face." She said to Matt.

"In what life time?"

"Lizzie and Matt!" Mrs. McGuire was furious.

"Sorry . . . Hey, I'll send you some music . . . yeah . . . Alien Ant Farm. Their from your home planet right?"

"Shut up or else I'll get my friends to beat up you and your loser friends."

"Bye Liz."

"Bye Matt."

"Oh, Lizzie, were going to miss you." Mrs. McGuire pulled her into a tight hug.

"Then don't send me away."

"We have to . . . maybe now you'll learn something."

"Whatever." She picked up her stuff and walked out to their Rendezvous. After she through her stuff in she sat up front and blasted a Simple Plan cd. "This is going to be so boring!" she thought to herself.
