Chapter 5: Toddler's Murphy's Law: If I want it, it's mine.
"So," said Liz as she talked to Miranda on the phone, "Wanna go shopping tomorrow?"
"Sure. We can start looking for things to wear to the dance," Miranda replied.
"Good idea. We should tell Steph too," suggested the blonde.
"I'll call her right now. So it's decided tomorrow afternoon, we're hitting the mall. I gotta go, Liz. Bye!"
"Bye Mir." Answered Liz.
Liz had the house to herself, since her parents were with Matt at his soccer championship, so she planned to spend the afternoon curled up in front of the TV. The Sunday morning was a lousy one. The weather was cloudy and it was pretty chilly. Liz just hugged the blanket around her and lazily changed the channel.
*I'm so bored!! Still, a day off isn't that bad. It's still pretty boring, though. * She thought to herself. Liz grunted as the phone rang. She got up from the couch and ran to the kitchen to answer the ringing phone.
"McGuire residence" Liz said automatically.
"Hey Liz," said the voice coming from the end of the phone line.
"Oh, hi" greeted Liz as she sank into the chair by the kitchen phone.
"So, how are you?" asked Anthony.
"Um, pretty bored I guess. You?" replied Liz as she absentmindedly played with the small, silver charm of her wrist.
"Same here. Sundays are a drag."
The conversation went on for a while, until Anthony finally said, "You know the Welcome Back dance that's coming up…"
"Yeah," urged Liz eagerly.
"Well," said Anthony with a laugh, "May I have the pleasure to be you date?"
Liz laughed too. "Of course, I'd love to go with you. It's about time you asked." She added.
"It's not my fault! I had to build up my confidence in case you said no."
"I wouldn't say no to you."
"Glad to hear that. I have to go now, sweetie. Bye" said Anthony.
"Bye," said Liz as she hung up the phone.
She dropped back onto the couch and continues to 'enjoy' her day off. A while later, Liz drifted off to sleep, only to wake up when her mother walked into the living room a few hours later.
"Honey," whispered Jo. "Wake up, let's go to your room."
"Sure, Mom," replied Liz groggily.
Liz curled up in her bed and fell back asleep as she wrapped herself up in dreams.

The piercing ring of the alarm clock woke Liz up. She was already half awake so it didn't affect her too much. Still, the thought of going to school made her want to sleep again. * It's all so boring * she thought as she got up unenthusiastically.
After breakfast, Liz got up and started towards the door. She stopped and turned around to face her mom. "Mom, I'm coming home late tonight. I'm going to the mall with Miranda and Steph."
"Ok hon., have fun."
School was as long and dull as ever, but at least the three girls had something to look forward to at the end of the day. During lunch, showed off her bracelet to her two best girl friends while the guys talked amongst themselves.
"…So he gave it to me and told me he loved me," said Liz as she finished telling Miranda and Steph the story.
"Wow, it's beautiful." Miranda said in awe.
"Yeah," added Steph. "I'm guessing you finally realize that you were just being paranoid with this whole Claire thing, right?"
"I suppose. Anyways, he asked me to the dance too."
"Good. We can shop for what to wear now that we all have dates." Said Steph.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the cafeteria Claire was looking over at the table were Liz and her friends were sitting. She pretended to be interested in what Kate was saying about lip gloss or something like that, but her thoughts were somewhere else. Claire was, of course, thinking about Anthony. There was something about him that intrigued and attracted her. She had been thinking about him since the previous week's party. *It's like I'm 13 and I have a crush on a boy. But, he will be mine and sooner than he and McGuire think. *
The final bell finally rang. The school day was over and the shopping spree was about to begin. The girls were ready to go,
"I'll be right there," Liz called to Miranda and Steph; "I just have to grab put these books in my locker."
"Ok, we'll meet you at the car in a few," replied Steph.
As Liz walked down the hall, towards her locker she saw a couple leaning against a locker in what looked like passionate lip-lock. *Some people just can't keep their hands off each other* thought Liz with a laugh.
But as she drew closer, she recognized the dark, curly haired girl- and the guy she she had pinned against the locker and was kissing.
"ANTHONY!?!?" Liz shrieked.
