CHAPTER 2
July 25 (Gordo's P.O.V.)
I looked at the phone on the wall, wishing that it would ring. Why wasn't she calling? It couldn't possibly take this long for her to take a shower. I considered calling her again, but chances were that she would just tell whoever answered to give me some other excuse to why she couldn't talk right now. But it was worth a try.
I picked up the phone and dialed her number. This time, Matt answered.
"Hello?" he said.
"Hi Matt." I said back. "Is Lizzie there?"
"Let me go check." Said Matt. I heard him running up the stairs to Lizzie's room. He knocked and told her who was on the phone.
"Just tell him we're eating." I heard Lizzie say in the back round. That hurt.
"You tell him." Said Matt. Thank you Matt.
"Just tell him, Worm!" She yelled.
"No!"
"Fine, just give me a second to pick up the phone." I head her say. "Hello?" said her exasperated voice in my ear. My heart skipped a beat.
"Hi Lizzie." Was all I said.
"We're about to eat." She said.
"Oh. Ok." I replied.
"Bye." She didn't even wait for me to say good-bye before she hung up. I sighed and slammed the phone back down. Why did I even try? I sat for a minute and thought about how angry I was, then decided to go down to the Digital Bean for some fries. I could put off my anger for some fries.
