A/N: Thank you again for the reviews, I am please that they are positive.
Another thing, I believe it was chapter seven, but somewhere I missed- called Sainte de Chapelle. The real name is La Sainte Chapelle de Paris, so if that comes up, from now on, I will call it by its correct name.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lizzie or Lizzie McGuire the TV show. I do own all the other characters that aren't normally on the show.
Chapter Nine: Flames and Croissants
Tuesday, 14 June morning
We got to the hotel, and I decided I was still tired, so I went to bed. I am not quite sure what Anna did, but we got our wake up call at seven. I felt well rested for the first time in a few days. At seven-thirty, Anna and I walked down to get some breakfast. A few people were already there, but no one I really knew. About a minute after I sat down, Gordo came down, and not long after that, so did Miranda. Pretty soon, everyone was eating breakfast. Our table had Anna, Sarah, Miranda, Brian, Gordo, and me sitting at it. For breakfast I had a chocolate chip croissant, which is actually really good.
So, anyway, we were all eating minding our own business when Kate walked up to me.
Kate: So.Lizzie.
She gave me a glare.
Lizzie: Yeah, Kate?
She rolled her eyes. Does she think she looks really cool or something?
Kate: Is it true that you and Gordo are a couple?
I didn't know how to answer this. I wanted to say "no," but how could I say it in a way that wouldn't hurt Gordo's feelings. He is sitting right next to me?
Lizzie: What would make you say that?
Kate: (smirking) Oh nothing.just that I heard that he gave you roses and the only people like you who get roses are the people who have a boyfriend, and I thought Dweeb was finally going out with Dweebette. You two would be perfect for each other, after all.
Lizzie: Well, I noticed you didn't get a rose, Kate.
Kate glared at me.
Kate: Whatever.
She walked off.
Gordo: Good comeback, Lizzie!
Gordo was watching the whole time, I guess.
Lizzie: (blushing) Thanks.
At this point, it was time to board the bus. Lucy wanted to have a solemn talk with us. I didn't really understand why she couldn't talk with us while we were all there eating until she actually told us what it was.
Something happened last night in one of the hotel rooms that almost got us kicked out.
Apparently, Dennis bought a lighter when we stopped. That wouldn't be such a bad thing, except for the fact that he almost burned the hotel on fire. He was lighting toilet paper on fire and he accidentally dropped a piece and it dropped on the bed. Luckily, the room is fine, and the bed is not badly ruined, but the consequences affect all of us.
First of all, anyone who bought a lighter on this trip must give it to your trip leader, and these people will get it back when we get back to California when they are with their parents. Reasonable, right? It gets worse, and this totally is not fair, but the hotel is already mad at us in the first place, but for the rest of the trip, especially while here in France (we are leaving tomorrow for Spain) we are to stay in our hotel rooms when we are there and no more visiting is allowed. Sigh. I hate fire. Why did Dennis have to set his bed on fire?
Other than that, today's plans are really busy. We are taking a boat tour under a lot of famous bridges, going to the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel tower among other things. I will catch up with you later.
A/N: Yeah, I know this is short, but considering what they are doing this day, I figured there needs to be some sort of break, and also something so I can simply say that I wrote something today in case I don't get a chance to write more tonight.
Another note: The names have been changed, but the lighter thing did actually happen when I went to Paris with the group. I can't remember if we all got punished as a result, but the chaperones were not happy.
