"Hey." Matt walked into the living room and threw his backpack onto the couch. *Hi!* Lanny replied. Matt sat down on the couch besides his backpack. "Lan, I hate this." *Matt, you told me already. Come on, let's go somewhere.* Matt nodded. "You always know what to do Lan." The two boys got up and headed out to the driveway. They got into Matt's Civic and Matt backed out of the driveway. "Let's go see what Sheryl is up to." Matt exclaimed. Lanny nodded. They drove to Sheryl's house. They got out of the car and knocked on the door. Sheryl opened it. "Hi Lanny, hi Matt!" She exclaimed. "What's up?" Matt asked. "Oh, my brother Larry and his wife are over." She replied. "Want to come to the mall?" Matt asked. Sheryl bit her lip. "Then Veruca's sister has to come." "Madeline? I thought she moved away with her dad in the sixth grade." Matt exclaimed. *What's she doing back here?* Lanny asked. "Well she's moving here in about three weeks, and Veruca just took her down to get used to here." Lanny nodded. "Come on Maddy, we're going to the mall!" Sheryl cried. Madeline came downstairs. To the boy's surprise she actually was pretty. "Hi!" Matt said. *Hi!* Lanny tried to say. "Matt! Lanny!" She exclaimed and hugged them both. "How are you?" She asked. *Good.* Lanny replied. "That's goo...wait! Lanny I understood you!" *Hmm, I guess you remembered.* He replied. "Come on guys, let's go shopping!" Sheryl exclaimed and the kids walked over to the car.
Lizzie was half heartedly looking through a rack of clothes at the Style Shack. "What's wrong?" Miranda asked for the millionth time. "Nothing!" Lizzie snapped. Miranda looked down at the blue shirt she was holding. "I'm sorry Miranda. I know, I'm just being a bitch to you." Miranda nodded. "It's okay. You're upset. It happens. At least you are older. Some girls were having sex when they were in 9th grade." Lizzie nodded. "Like Kate!" They laughed. "Come on, let's go try these clothes on." They headed for the dressing room. "Yeah, I feel better. It's just I don't want a kid already. I want to live life a little before I have to be changing diapers and burping kids." Lizzie sighed. Miranda nodded. "Don't worry. You want to visit Gordo at Gaming Palace?" Miranda asked. "Miranda, you know how much I hate that place. It's filled with little kids swarming around, hitting each other just so they could play on that video games." Lizzie laughed. So did Miranda. "Now Lizzie, if you have kids, you'll be at that place all of the time!" Miranda remarked. Lizzie nodded. "That's why I ain't having any!" They laughed. "Ugh!" Miranda sighed, "All crap! I can't find one thing I like!" "Me too!" "Well then why are we still here? Let's go to Gaming Palace!" "Lead the way, Miranda, lead the way!"
Late that night Lizzie came home. She saw her parents and Matt sitting on the couch watching Survivor 16. "Hey honey, where have you been?" Jo asked. "Miranda and I were shopping, then I had class, then Miranda and I did more shopping." Lizzie replied. "Come watch Survivor with us! Craig just told Jenny to get out of their alliance. Now Jenny is threatening to kill Karen!" Sam exclaimed. Lizzie shook her head. "As tempting as it sounds, I think I'll go upstairs and call someone." Jo smiled. "Alright, just don't use to many minutes!" Lizzie nodded and headed up the stairs. She threw her purse onto the window seat and took off her shoes. She changed into a pair of pajamas and sat on the bed. Phone in hand. All of the sudden the phone rang. She looked at the caller ID. Craft. She picked up. "Hello?" She asked. "Lizzie?" Ethan Craft's voice asked. "Ethan?" "The one and only!" "Hey!" "Hey, what's up? Still with Gordo?" "Yeah. You with...?" "I was with Beth but it's over. I'm moving back home." "You are?" "Yeah. My parents said I can move back with them." "That's cool. Maybe you can come over sometime?" "Sounds nice. How's Kate?" "Kate? She's married." "What? To who?" "Um, Mack? Dave? I can't remember his name. He's 27 though and pretty rich. They moved to New York and nobody had heard from them since." Ethan sighed into the phone. "Even though that girl was such a bitch, I still miss her." "Yeah, I know Ethan." "How's everybody else?" "Well, I just found out Veruca and Larry got married. Claire is in Julliard. Parker, I don't know, she left right after graduation. Gordo's with me, and Miranda, she's goes out with a different guy each week." "Wait, Veruca and Tudge? Married?" "Yeah, with a kid on the way!" "What? Wow!" "Yeah. What about you?" "Well, Beth got pregnant and had a kid. Turns out he's not mine. Some guy named Rob. They got married so I headed back here." "Wow!" "Yeah. I've got to go. My flights leaving soon. Bye!" "Bye!" She hung up and went to sleep.
Okay note: I OWN NONE OF THIS! Thank you. Also I know, it's sort of slow, don't worry. In the next chapters twists will happen. Promise.
