A/N-Okay, I know I said I would probably not post this weekend, but I lied.
As luck would have it, I am actually finished with my part of the project,
so I can write this chapter. I am not sure about tomorrow because I have to
combine my stuff with my partner's stuff, but that shouldn't take too long.
I know I haven't updated in like three days with this fanfic. GASP! So
yeah, here is chapter 16. Please read and Review at your own convenience.
Also, the day this supposedly takes place is my birthday (June 17) and I
just thought you would like to know.
Disclaimer: I have lied this whole time. I really do own Lizzie and all the characters and live in a mansion. (NOT)
Chapter Sixteen: Talking and TV
17 June Friday
Today was actually pretty low key for those of us who did not go to the bullfight. The people that went left at ten in the morning because they were going straight from lunch to the bullfight. Gordo, Mrs. Gregory, and I ate at a local place that was across the street from our hotel, and then we went back to the hotel. Mrs. Gregory wanted us all to stay in the same room, so we ended up hanging out in her room. I would have been fine just watching TV or laying a game, but NO! Mrs. Gregory is so clueless and naïve that she insisted we talk. She can't figure out that we are now boyfriend and girlfriend and that we are happy? She is an English teacher, for goodness sakes! The most she is supposed to do on this trip is to correct your English, but instead she feels it would benefit us all if we talked. Gordo rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Pam: Now, I am glad we have the opportunity for us all to talk. Lizzie is there something you would like to say to Gordo?
Um, yeah, let's leave and abandon her.
Lizzie: Like what?
Pam: Remember our discussion the other night on the train? You said you were going to talk to him about the situation.
Lizzie: We did talk about it.
Pam: When?
Lizzie: On the train.
Pam: Well what did you tell him?
Lizzie: I told him that I liked him more than a friend.
Pam: And what did he say back?
Um, yeah Gordo is also in the room. Ask him.
Lizzie: He said he liked me back.
Pam: So you are friends again.
Lizzie: Yes, I guess you could say that.
Pam: You hesitated. Gordo, what did you say to Lizzie?
Gordo: Like Lizzie said, I told her I liked her too.
Pam: So you are boyfriend and girlfriend now?
Gordo: Yes.
Pam was speechless.
Pam: Oh.
Gordo: Are we free to leave now?
Pam: No, I want you to stay in this room and either watch TV or find something else to do. I will be back later. I have to go to the lobby for a while.
Mrs. Gregory is weird. Why couldn't we just leave her room and go to one of ours? I like my room better, and its not like she is here or anything. So for the next hour, Gordo and I watched BBC America and made fun of Mrs. Gregory. I was pretty tired, so I rest my head on his shoulder and fell asleep, while Gordo continued to watch TV. The next thing I heard was the door to the hotel room opening, and it was Mrs. Gregory. This woke me up.
Pam: Hey, kids! How would you like to go do some shopping?
Gordo and I looked at each other.
Lizzie: Okay. Let me get my money from my room.
Gordo: Same here.
Five minutes later, we were walking along the streets of Madrid and shopping. We were forced to go wherever she wanted to go, which was like antiques and pottery and stuff, so Gordo and I were pretty bored. We walked along the side of the street and watched people while she went inside.
The streets were pretty busy, and there was a lot going on. There were people selling stuff all over the streets, and a lot of clothing stands. I bought a shirt. Gordo bought nothing. Mrs. Gregory came out of the store with like four bags, so we helped her carry those while we walked back to the hotel. By the time it was all over, and believe me it was a lot longer that it may seem in writing, it was time to meet with the rest of the group at the Hard Rock Café in Madrid. We took a taxi to get there. Taxis are cheaper in Madrid than they are in America.
The group had already arrived at Hard Rock by the time we were there. I ended up separating from Gordo and sitting with Miranda, Anna, and Sarah. We had a nice conversation.
Lizzie: Hey! How was the bullfight?
Miranda: Bloody! It was gross. I only went because my parents felt it is a part of my culture and they wanted me to go.
Sarah: I thought it was pretty cool. It was hot outside. We only saw four of the six bullfights.
Anna: Let's just say that it is an experience I am glad I went through, but I would not want to live through it again.
Miranda: Yeah. So, what did you and Gordo end up doing?
Lizzie: Actually, Mrs. Gregory really wanted us to talk, but little did she know Gordo and I had already talked. I think she was a little disappointed about that. Then, we went shopping.
Miranda: Shopping is always fun!
Lizzie: Yeah, well this was the boring kind of shopping. I did buy one shirt, but we mostly shopped for antiques and stuff.
Anna: That is not fun.
Lizzie: No, not really. Anything interesting happen at the bullfight?
Sarah: Well there was one thing.
Sarah looked over at Anna who was giving a "shut up" expression.
Lizzie: What?
Sarah: Anna and somebody is now a couple.
Lizzie: And who would that someone be, Anna?
Anna: Thank you so much, Sarah. I was going to tell you, you know. Justin asked me out.
Lizzie: How exciting.
Sarah: I know, isn't it?
Anna: I don't know. I barely know him. I said yes, but that doesn't mean I like him. I am giving him a chance.
Lizzie: That's cool. Justin seems really sweat. His mom is a nutcase, but he seems nice.
We all continued to talk while we ate American food, and then pretty soon it was late and we all left. I bought a Hard Rock Café t-shirt, of course, but we left, and I am now in bed. I just had a shower, and I am not going to sleep. G'nite!
