Chapter 7: Digital Love

LIZZIE'S JOURNAL

Steve and I had last period together, so we were going to walk to the Digital Bean together. On the way there, I realized I forgot my purse in the Foods and Nutrition classroom. I told him I would meet him there. I arrived around 4:15. I found him on the couch, with 2 Mocha lattes. How did he know my favorite drink was a Mocha latte? That was way freaky.

"Hey" he said when I sat down, "I got this for you." He said, while pushing the cup over to me.

"Thanks, how did you know it's my favorite?" I asked

"I don't know. It's my favorite too. We have so much in common, I thought we probably shared the same taste in coffee."

He's so smooth. I watched him as he lifted up his cup and drank out of it. His hands were trembling a little bit, and his sunglasses were sliding down his nose. He quickly caught them, and put down his cup.

"So, do you have any really good friends that your still friends with from grammar school?" he asked

"Yes" I said with a smile.

"Who?"

"Miranda and Gordo."

"Oh, is Gordo a girl?"

"No! He's a really good guy friend."

"Boyfriend?"

"No, but he likes me. I wish I could explain to him how I feel, I am just not sure how I feel."

"Well, why?"

I explained to him everything that happened in Rome.

"That's really interesting. Gordo seems like a great friend." He stated

"Yea, he really is." I responded. He seems really interested in Gordo.

"Anyways," he said changing the subject.

"I just wanted to let you know that today was really great, all because I spent most of my day with you, Lizzie McGuire."

I felt my cheeks get really hot. Could he tell I was blushing?

"I know that this is really fast and everything, but I feel like I have known you forever by just talking to you one day. I want to get to know you better. I think high school is all about taking chances, so, Lizzie, will you take a chance on me?" he said

What does he mean? Is he doing what I think he's doing?

"Are you asking me to be your girlfriend, Steve?" I said quietly leaning over the table as if I didn't want anyone to hear."

He grabbed my hands gently and leaned over the table like I was and whispered in my ear, "That's exactly what I'm saying Lizzie."

I sat there for a minute, thinking of what just happened. A smile spread across my face, and then I gave him my answer.

"I'll take a chance on you." I told him in a matter-of-factly voice.

He smiled at me, and then started to get up.

"It's 9:00 o'clock! Time really does fly when I'm with you." He said

"Yeah, I better be going." I said while brushing off my skirt.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Lizzie." He said while kissing my cheek.

"Ok, bye!" I said while blushing.

I watched him walk out. I watched my boyfriend walk out. MY BOYFRIEND STEVE MADISON. I walked home in a daze. I was so blissfully happy. When I opened the door, Matt jumped out of the doorway to try to scare me, but it didn't faze me. I patted him on the head and floated upstairs.

"Oh my God!" Matt cried. "Who are you and what have you done with my sister!"

I closed my door, and jumped in my bed. As I went to bed, I dreamed about Steve, and everything that had happened today. Now I have a boyfriend, and I know Miranda will be happy for me, but what will Gordo do???
