Disclaimer: Do we really have to go through this each chapter? It gets on my nerves. Anyway, I do not own anything Lizzie McGuire related!

Reviews: Thanks Kara, X5-343, Blonde-Angel, and Melanie for the great reviews! X5 do you have any stories? I would love to read one. And Kara, I just finished chapter 8 last night. I'm planning on reading chapter 9 tonight!

A/N: Takes place the next morning at Gordo's house. I know that I haven't been focusing a whole lot on Kate's problem with Lizzie (my summary lol) but I will get to that. Also, if you read my story please review. Good and bad, I don't care I would just like to know that my story is ACTUALLY BEING READ like so many other writers.

"Lizzie, wake up. We have to get ready for school!"

"Okay, give me a few minutes. You know I'm not a morning person."

Gordo drove Lizzie to school. When she got there the two separated to go to their classes.

"Where's your paper? You better have it!" Kate rang from behind.

"It's here Kate! We still have to type it today at your house. The Digital Bean is still closed."

"Fine, whatever. Just make sure your there today at 4:00. I don't want to wait around for you all day!"

Class ended and Lizzie went to the bathroom to freshen up.

"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!"

* Thank goodness I have lunch next period*

"Gordo!" Lizzie screamed across the cafeteria not realizing at the moment all the attention she had attracted to herself. She went up to Gordo at their usual table but this time she was talking in a whispering voice. Miranda was once again no where to be found.

"Gordo! I got it! I got my period today! I'm not pregnant and were not going to have a baby!"

"I'm so glad! But we still need to have it checked out by a professional."

"Why? I got my period. I couldn't get it if I was pregnant."

"That's not true. Sometimes your cycle can get messed up and everyone's body reacts in different ways. I know a guy that can tell us for sure. It will be confidential and free of charge. I checked into it last night."

"Okay. When do we go?"

"Today At five."

"Perfect! Because I have to meet Kate Saunders at her house to type up my report."

"Why do you sound so happy about this? I'm a nervous wreck."

"Don't be, I know I'm not pregnant."

"That's the bell, we'd better get to class. I'll pick you up at your house around 4:50 so be waiting."

"Okay, see you then."

The two kissed each other on the cheek. The rest of the day went smoothly until the 2:45 bell rang.

*BAM* Lizzie fell to the floor as Ethan carelessly ran into her.

"Wow! Lizzie, I'm so sorry! Man that's gotta hurt! I was going to be late for my bus, but I probably already am now. Here let me help you up. Are you okay?"

"Umm, yea." Lizzie hesitantly said, rubbing her shoulder.

"Well, since it looks like I'm not going to catch my ride anyway wanna go have a smoothie? My treat!"
"Aren't you and Kate Saunders still going together?"

"No, we broke up last weekend. We got into a fight and agreed to not to see each other for a while. So, what about that smoothie?"

"Uh, okay. Sure, sounds great!"

"Awesome, lets rock and roll!"

"I borrowed my moms car today and I have a project I have to work on so we can't stay out too late."

"No problem."

Later at the Dairy Shack

"So, what did you and Kate get into a fight about?" Lizzie asked curiously.

"She said she found out about my 'history with girls'. Whatever that's supposed to mean." Ethan said as he sipped on his smoothie.

Lizzie eyes got big

"And what history might that be?" Lizzie heart was racing.

Ethan smirked as he leant in across the table to whisper.
"Don't worry, I didn't mention anything about you to her or anyone else. No one knows."

Lizzie laughed.

"What a relief. And all this time I thought she knew! I was so worried because I have to see her in." Lizzie looked at her watch. "Oh my god. IN TEN MINUTES! We have to go now."

Lizzie dropped Ethan off at his house and sped towards Kate's. She was already running 20 minutes behind when she reached for her purse in the backseat and crashed into a tree. A nearby pedestrian who was almost hit in the accident called 911 and the ambulance came shortly after.

LATER IN THE HOSPITAL

Sam and Jo McGuire rushed to Yellow Stone Hospital where they found their daughter laying in a hospital bed unconscious.

"Is she going to be alright doctor?"
