Author's Notes: Thanks for the reviews, guys! They really kept me going! Have fun reading this! =)
Chapter 4 --
I bade Gordo goodbye and thanked him after we bought Matt's magician set. I don't know why I felt happy but I was. This zit will be gone in no time. Joy!
I opened our front door and saw Mom with her groceries.
"Hey, Lizzie," Mom greeted me as I sat down. "You look flushed. Where did you go?"
Wait. What was I suppose to say? Hmmm...well first, I bought Matt his dumb magician set so he would take my zit off my pathetic nose. No, INL, whoever she was, was supposed to take the zit off my nose! So now that my 15 bucks are gone, I can't buy that hot outfit I saw on Seventeen! Wasn't my life depressing?
"Lizzie?"
"Oh!" I practically jumped. "Um...well...what were you asking again? Oh yeah --" I cleared my throat. "Well, I decided to buy Matt the magician set he's been dying to have, you know, for his birthday after 5 months. But I'm gonna give it to him now."
Uh-huh...if you say so. I'm not really good at lying but this time, I was desperate.
At first, Mom narrowed her eyes on me so I smiled sweetly. You know what she did next? She clapped her hands and hugged me.
"Oh, Lizzie!" she breathed, "you're a really great sister!"
I rolled my eyes behind her back. Yeah, right, as if I really wanted to waste my money for Matt.
After dinner...
"Hey Matt! Here's your magician set!" I called out from Matt's room.
Matt opened the door. "Come in. And Lizzie -- it would be better if you pay my room a compliment."
I entered his room, ready to scrunch up my nose. But guess what? I didn't.
"Your room's cool," I admitted. The last time I ever went to his room was when I was eight. I helped Matt shove off his toys while Nana was stuck at the bottom. She attempted to squeeze Matt's miniature soldiers then blood squirted at her. So she tripped. What a happy ending. I know that I'm getting sarcastic these days but don't mind me.
"So." he turned to me.
"So." I answered, looking around. Matt's room is well...how do I say this? Awesome!
"You got the magician set?" Matt asked coolly.
"You got INL?" I shot back.
"First the magician set --"
I opened my mouth to protest.
"-- then you get INL."
"Fine." I didn't really want to fight with Matt anyway; it will only cause me a headache. I gave him the magician set.
"Whoa!" Matt gasped. He opened the box eagerly and tried on the tall hat included in the set. I saw a fake robotic bunny that went with the hat. But it looked real. Then I remembered something.
"Where is INL? You can't just leave me here seeing you admire your stupid set!"
Matt blinked at me. Was he trying to annoy me or something? Because I'm ready to bump his magician set on one of Dad's gnomes. Oh, and his head too. Or if Matt was a gnome I'd do the exact thing what the Weasleys do (in Harry Potter): you know, throw him away from our backyard.
"Be patient, Lizzie, INL doesn't want to be rushed."
I rolled my eyes at him, as though to say: "Come on.".
Just then, Matt's closet creaked. It was being opened. My heart was beating fast. Could this be INL? Why was she coming from Matt's closet?
I screamed when I saw a girl around 15. Matt covered my mouth, just in case Mom and Dad heard me. So this is INL. I gaped at her.
Who wouldn't scream for Pete's sake? Can you imagine a girl coming out from your brother's closet and you don't know anything about it?
"Hey, Inny," Matt greeted the stranger. "Here's Lizzie." Matt motioned me.
My jaw was open in shock. "B-b-but -- w-where did you come from? Why are you in Matt's closet?" I was sooo confused. Way confused.
"INL is a friend of mine," Matt explained, "She's sort of like my secret agent. She's in my closet to experiment on something for the prank we're planning on Jhonny. Cool huh?"
"And I'm very good at squeezing horrible zits, mind you," INL added.
"Oooh-kay..." I said. Hmmm...wonder how INL would get this zit off me. But there were like one hundred questions on my mind.
"So where did you two meet?"
"Well, that's a secret," Matt said defiantly. "That's all ya need to know. Anyway, let's get this over with to get that icky--" he grimaced. "--zit gone. Inny?"
"Yup. Sit right here, Lizzie," INL ushered me on a chair nearby Matt's lamp. I sat down.
"Gimme the blindfold, Matt," INL ordered.
Why the heck would you want a blindfold for? But I kept quiet. I didn't want to disturb INL or anything. She was concentrating hard.
Once she made sure I can no longer see anything, she squeezed my pimple! I didn't scream. I just made a sound because if Mom and Dad heard me scream -- well, I don't know what will happen but one thing's for sure -- Matt's secret agent would no longer be secret anymore.
It hurt. And I tell you it hurts. I feel liquid coming out. Like yuck! I don't even want to think about how it looked like.
"Almost done," she reassured me. I can feel her wipe the puss and blood with a fresh smelling fabric. Yess! It's gone.
Matt untied my blindfold and INL gave me a mirror to look at. The zit was gone! I've never been so happy in my life! Though the skin where the zit was before was kinda red.
"Don't worry," INL said as if she read my mind. "Here's a concealer stick. Keep it, it's yours."
I grabbed the concealer stick and thanked her. "Night guys," I beamed at them.
"Night Lizzie," they said together.
Then Matt slammed the door shot, leaving a very happy Lizzie McGuire outside.
