Guess what?! I'm updating! Hehe. Actually this was my first fic and I
didn't think I would get any reviews, but it turns out I did. Here goes
nothing:
"Sorry my plan didn't work Lizzie," Miranda said. "I was so sure that Ethan would ask you to the prom after I told him the truth about Kate."
"It's ok Miranda, thanks for trying anyway. I'm sure no guy would care if they knew a girl had striped at club once because she was drunk."
Lizzie kept walking around the block. Lizzie and Miranda often took walks around the block just to get exercise and fresh air. It was relaxing and relieved stress.
"It's just strange you know," Lizzie began. "I've liked him ever since kindergarten and the one thing that has kept me going was knowing that one day he would like me. He had to! How is it possible for me to like him so much and him just think of me as a friend? All Kate has to do is look at him and he runs to her. Kate has always had it so easy, nothing has ever been difficult to her. She's ruthless, snobby, and impossible to get along with and she has everything! I've tried to be nice and kind and the best person I can and what has it done for me? Nothing! I'm in the same place I was when I was five."
"Lizzie calm down," Miranda said. "You have came along way since then. You have made straight A's and helped so many people with problems. You have affected people's lives in many ways, good ways. You have accomplished a lot over these years. Sports, well, they weren't your thing, but we have had so many good and funny times in this school. Maybe we weren't perfect like Kate, but I wouldn't trade those memories to be perfect. I've had a blast and I'm going to cry so much on our graduation day."
Lizzie smiled and looked thoughtful for a moment. Miranda's thoughts eventually sunk into her brain and she believed her best friend. "What was our class song again?"
"I'm Movin' On by the Rascal Flatts."
They walked a few more rounds and then decided to go back home. They each walked to their cars and waved good bye. Lizzie got home and as soon as she got into her room the phone rang. It was Ethan.
Lizzie: Hey Ethan! Ethan: Hey Lizzie, I was thinking, maybe you would like to go to prom with me? If nobody has asked you yet. Lizzie: Really? I'd love to! Ethan: Great. I'll pick you up around seven? Lizzie: That's fine.
They both hung up and Lizzie smiled from ear to ear. "Ok this is the part where I wake up and yet again, realize it was only a dream. Lizzie waited and waited. "Ok, why aren't I waking up? Maybe because this is real!"
Lizzie got on the phone and told Miranda. Miranda was as excited as she was.
The next day at school, Lizzie and Miranda didn't waste time spreading the word around. But, for some strange reason, Kate didn't get upset. She wasn't happy, but she didn't give any cruel comments or anything. She just rolled her eyes as if she didn't care.
"But Kate is in love with Ethan!" Miranda said.
"I know," Lizzie said. "It's strange."
"So you're going with Ethan?" Gordo asked coming up behind Lizzie.
"Gordo you scared me," Lizzie said putting a hand over her heart. "Yea, Ethan asked me last night.
Gordo looked down at his shoes. Why didn't I ask her when I had a chance? I don't stand a chance against a guy like Ethan. I'm going to be one of these lonely nerds that never get married and live in a mansion. The only women that will want me are the hot chicks that only want my money and I'll never have the one I want. "I'm happy for you."
Lizzie smiled. "Thanks." Lizzie didn't know why, but for some reason she felt extremely bad. She almost wanted to cry she felt so bad. What happened? She asked herself. Why do I feel so bad? She felt as if going to the prom with Ethan was, well, wrong.
Lizzie then noticed Gordo's new style that Miranda talked about earlier. What was he thinking? He did look like he lost some of his confidence dressing like, well, Ethan.
Lizzie watched Gordo grab some books and walk away. She felt even worse then. Her stomach felt like it has just been kicked hard several times. What's the matter with me?
"Are you ok Lizzie? You look kind of sick," Miranda said.
"No, I'm fine. It's just the excitement."
Miranda giggled and went off the spread the word. Lizzie, on the other hand, stayed where she was and took deep breaths. Her heart was pounding hard and she was all of a sudden nervous. Am I having a heart attack? No, it's not that. I've just got a case of the jitters. It's because of Ethan, my long life wish has finally come true and I'm nervous.
Cartoon Lizzie: Yea, I'm nervous, but for some reason, I'm not as happy as I was dreaming about Ethan as I am with Ethan. I know you want something bad, then when you get it, it doesn't mean that much, but Ethan? I've always wanted him and that doesn't apply with him. It's just my nerves, that's all. Then why do I feel like I've just committed a crime? Maybe I need to see a doctor or maybe I've just gone crazy.
"Hey Lizzie," Ethan said wrapping his arms around Lizzie. Lizzie jumped and got out of her thoughts. Once Ethans arms wrapped around her, all her nerves went away and she smiled. She all of a sudden felt that happiness she felt when she would stare into the sky at night and wish Ethan was there holding her. Now he is and her dreams have come true. She is Kate now. She is perfect. She felt perfect at that moment. Nothing could spoil this moment of watching Ethan look down at her and smile. The look of kindness and happiness on his face and he was looking at Lizzie and no one else. She was the one he wanted to be with, after all these years of praying and wishing, it finally came true. She was the woman of Ethan Crafts.
"Sorry my plan didn't work Lizzie," Miranda said. "I was so sure that Ethan would ask you to the prom after I told him the truth about Kate."
