Yay! Thanx for the feedback, everyone.
A/N : I just realized thaat in one episode Sam says he met Jo during freshman week, but...this is gonna be a little different. They are freshman, but they've known each other for awhile.
Also, I realizee Jo wasn't popular. She said she trired to be once,a nd it didn't work, and Lizzie said "Maybe you didn't do it right." That, too, is changed.
Funky pink high top and my other buddies via chat: This morning I checked the reviews for Temptations of a Lawn Gnome and read the great reviews with as much glee as if I had written it myself. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ FUNKY PINK HIGH TOPS STORY "TEMPTATIONS OF A LAWN GNOME", READ IT NOQ!
I'm finding all kinds of great things in reviews of the LM movie, like this:
Duff is aided by a supporting cast of nimble comics ........and, especially terrifying, Carly Schroeder as his dominatrix-in-training friend, Melina.
Oh, P.S. : Reading a another review for the Lizzie McGuire movie, I stumbled across this:
Her parents love her, but, as hard as they try, they are utter nimrods. (In one scene Dad, played by Robert Carradine, is sitting at the kitchen table, blissfully painting a lawn gnome.)
LOL!

"My mom is such a witch."
Joanna and Lizzie were walking down the street to the 'library'. Thats where Joanna had told her mother where they were going, but they were actually going to who friend Christy's house, where Joanna said she wasn't allowed to go. Christy was nineteen.
Lizzie did not know why Joanna was letting her hang out with her. Maybe, even though Joanna was her age, she had that 'maternal instinct' thing. Lizzie was simply clinging to her because she was the only person she knew.
"Oh my God, Lizzie. Lets cross the street. Look who's coming!"
Lizzie looked up and saw THE geekiest guy she had ever seen. With big doofy glasses and a pocket protector, he looked like he had just hopped out of Revenge of the Nerds.
"Who IS he?"
Joanna stared at him in disgust. "Samuel McGuire. MAJOR double E." She flipped her blonde hair, gave Samuel a scowl, and crossed the street to avoid him.
*Oh my God!* Lizzie thought, *Thats Dad! And Mom think he's a total dweeb. Well...he kinda is...but-*
"What makes him so dorky?" Lizzie asked quietly, staring at the younger version of her dad, kind of creeped out.
Joanna stopped, and stared at him. "Look at the guy!" she said, "He's a loser. He thinks he knows everything, AND...he's in Mathletes."
Lizzie shuddered. Who would want to join a club to do math for fun?
"Hi Joanna!" Samuel gave her a big wave.
"Oh my God!" Joanna said, ducking behind a tree, "I hope no one saw him wave to me! He's such a loser!" She leaned against the tree. "He likes me. can you believe it? I HAVE a boyfriend. A good-looking boyfriend." She paused. "Sammy and I used to be friends. Forever ago. I don't miss him." And suddenly the sweet moment was over, and Joanna pulled a pack of cigarettes out of her purse. "You smoke?" She lit one up.
"No way," Lizzie said, "My mom would kill me."
"Parents," Jo said, blowing smoke out of her mouth and rolling her eyes, "They will never understand kids. My mom still acts like I'm five!"
"Tell me about it!" Lizzie said, getting involved in the conversation, "I have a 10:00 curfew, and I was 12 minutes late, and my mom grounded me!"
"Thats totally stupid," Joanna said, "When I have kids, I'm gonna let them stay out as long as they want, and they'll never get in trouble."
"Yeah, right," Lizzie said.
"Huh?"
"Nothing." Lizzie put her hands in her pockets and looked at the sky.

Samuel McGuire looked at Joanna Cegielska with longing. She was so pretty.
Pretty mean, pretty rude, pretty wild, pretty loose, pretty snide, pretty bad.
But he was in love with her.
They had been friends a long time ago, when they were young children. First grade, times like that. They had stopped hanging out as they got older around fourth or fifth grade. But he still remembered her sweet laugh and charming presence.
She hated him now. He could sort of understand why. Joanna was popular, pretty, and a party girl. Samuel was...well...a geek. A nerd. He had pocket protectors and watched Star Trek; he played Dungeons and Dragons and was even in the Mathletes.
What was there to like?
He hoped one day Joanna could see him for who he was inside.
Yeah. Like that was going to happen.

Short chapter, but I haven't really decided what I want to do with this yet.
