~*~ Thanks for reviewing everyone!
Kay- Thank you! My daddy's a mailman, lol. I'm going to put John Nadasky in the story . . . you'll see how in this chapter. Guess who Sharon is supposed to be. Lol. Morose and Brooke- I know what you guys are saying. I am trying to make Lizzie out to be . . . well, not punk, but not like she is on the show. Thanks for reading anyway. Morose . . . that skating thing was so funny. LenniluvsBrian- Thanks . . . I'll read The Raft Trip for ya. Home schooling is fun, actually. Like, right now, it's 8:30 in the morning and I'm on the internet in pajamas and stuff. It does get annoying though. Like, no snow days, no sick days, and we have to have evaluations, and see the superintendent of the school, but we get done in May, so, it's all good. ZimFreak- Thank you for saying it's good, but once again, I don't intend for Lizzie to be 'punk'. Everyone who is saying she is is coming up with that on their own. But, everyone is entitled to their opinion and, I must admit, she does seem to be a LITTLE punk . . . lol.
For anyone that cares, LenniluvsBrian's name reminded me of my step- sister's boyfriend, Lenny, he carries around his flashlight in his pocket all the time. Lol . . . just thought I'd say that. Oh, anyone that wants to read a good story, well, I forget the name, Sorry Kay, but it's Lizzie McGuire and written by Kaysh. Please read it and review it!~*~
During the break at drama classes Lizzie got to meet everyone. There were some people she didn't like, too. Like Chris Evatt. He was a total nerd, with the retainer and everything. And Elizabeth Studenroth, she was also a major nerd. It's not that she didn't like nerds; she just . . . thought they were annoying. But this one kid, Brandon Cook, the one Kris was talking about earlier, was really cool. He reminded her of Ethan Craft. Even though she was over him she still thought he was hot.
Anyway, all the teens gathered in a small side room during break to talk. When she followed Kris and Cathy into the room Hannah West, a really nice fourteen year-old, said hi. "Hi." Lizzie replied.
'So," said Brandon, "You're from California?"
"Why does everyone make a big deal about that? Yes, I'm from California."
"Sorry, just asking."
"Do know anyone famous?" asked Kris as he laughed a very strange laugh. Cathy hit him on the head and he laughed even more.
"No, and I don't want to."
"Someone seems a little up tight." Said Corey. He was sixteen and you could tell he and Stephanie Moyer were going out. She was sitting as close to him as possible without sitting in his lap. Everyone laughed.
"Cathy?" some of the little girls walked into the room, "We have a job for you." They all started giggling.
"I'll be right there." They all left.
"What was that about?" asked Lizzie.
"Cathy helps the little girls chase Jacob . . . I don't know, just a thing they do. Whatever." Said Sharon.
*** That Sunday Lizzie and her aunt, uncle, and cousins all went to church. As soon as Sharon and Lizzie walked in the door Sharon's best friend, Kaysha, ran up to them. "Sharon, Hi." She said smiling.
"Hey." Sharon said back. "This is my cousin, Lizzie. Lizzie, this is Kaysha."
"Hi Lizzie." Kaysha said enthusiastically.
"Hi." Lizzie mumbled with a small smile.
"So, where are you from?" The three of them started walking into the auditorium.
"California."
"Oh, Emmy G is there right now."
"They left already?" asked Sharon.
"Yeah, didn't she tell you?"
"No. So, you want to sit with us?" asked Sharon.
"Yeah . . . my mom's in the nursery today so I can."
"Cool." They put their stuff in a back pew on the far left and walked over to where a bunch of their friends were standing. Lizzie followed out of curiosity. All the girls introduced themselves to Lizzie. There was Reve, Tara, Sarah, Emily Rogers, Desiree, and Erin. They all talked for a while, and then a boy, a very ugly boy, walked up to them. "Have you seen my dad?" he asked.
"Aww," said Reve, "John's looking for his daddy."
"Shut-up."
Reve gasped, "You just cursed!" she said it sarcastically.
"Seriously, have you seen him?"
"No . . . oh, wait, I saw him talking to Mr. Zarillo." Said Kaysha.
"Thanks." And he walked off.
"What's with him?" asked Lizzie.
'Who? John?"
"I guess that's him name."
Yeah . . . John Nadasky. He's sort of . . ." Sharon couldn't think of a way to finish her sentence. But Erin could . . .
"A nerd." She said. The rest of the girls laughed. "And, he's a uni-brow!"
"Eww . . . oh, that's gross." They laughed again. Suddenly music started playing from the piano.
"We have to go." Said Sharon. To Lizzie she said, "When the music plays, you go back to your seat."
"I'll remember that." She replied. They sat down and listened as the Pastor started preaching. It was about something called Salvation. Something Lizzie never heard before. He said you have to be 'saved' to get to heaven, but it has to be true salvation. That caught Lizzie's attention. She listened intently as Pastor Hammett explained how you become 'saved'. The service ended too soon for Lizzie, but when she looked at her watch she realized it had been an hour and a half.
One of the assistant pastors, Lizzie had already met him at Sunday school, came up on the stage to make some announcements. His name was George. "We have some announcements today; first . . ." he looked down at a card, "The Hannah ladies will be meeting in the Bible Institute room right after services. There is *no* choir practice tonight. Also, if you could pray for my wife and I as we get ready to leave for deputation . . ."
Lizzie looked at Sharon, "What's that?" she asked.
"It's when you go to churches to get support for being a missionary. They give you money and stuff." They stopped talking in time to hear George say,
"There will be three of traveling." Everyone, except Lizzie, gasped.
"Huh?" asked Lizzie.
"Kristen, George's wife, is pregnant!"
"Oh." Lizzie could care less, but she smiled to fit in. She couldn't stop thinking about how Pastor Hammett said you needed to be saved before you could go to Heaven. She'd have to ask someone about it later.
