Chapter 9: The Call
A/N: Really short chapter. Sorry.
I sprawled out on my bed, wondering.
Ever since we had gone to Rome, things were incredibly tense between me and Gordo. They were tense even *before* that. Well, I mean, incredibly tense *sometimes*. Sometimes we'd be like brother and sister, and sometimes it felt like we were complete strangers.
I didn't like it.
But one thing I couldn't figure out was... why? Why were things so tense between us? Was it because I had figured out that Gordo liked me? Was it because we were growing apart? Or was it because we were growing together?
Animated Lizzie: Quit think about such a confusing subject. It's not like you're gonna change the situation by thinking about it 24/7.
I sighed and laid down on my bed.
The phone rang.
I groaned and buried my held into my pillow. I hated phones. The sound of them sounded like my alarm clock. Ugh!
"Lizzie!" I heard my mom yell. "It's for you!"
"Okay!" I picked up the phone in my room. "Hello?"
"Ciao, Lizzie!"
"Miranda?" I guessed.
"No, it's *me*! You forgot me already?"
"No way!" I exclaimed. "Isabella?"
"Yes!" Isabella said.
"Why'd you call me? How'd you get my phone number. Wait, where are you calling from?"
"Los Angeles." I could just *see* Isabella grinning.
"Wow, there's a Los Angeles in Europe?" I said, half-joking.
"No, Lizzie, the Los Angeles in California!"
Animated Lizzie: LA? Great. Just when I thought I'd gotten away from singers, one on them follows me back home.
"Oh, my gosh! What are you doing there?"
"That's the reason I called you. See this music company..." I cut her off.
"Isabella! Talk louder, I can't here you!" Static was louder than Isabella's voice.
"UNIQUE RECODS GOT ME TO SIGN A CONTRACT. MY SOLO CAREER HAS STARTED!" Isabella shouted.
"Oh, wow, that's so cool!" I exclaimed.
"BUT THAT'S NOT ALL. SEE, I GOT YOU A..."
"WHAT?" I yelled. "ISABELLA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. WE'RE BREAKING UP!"
Static was all I could hear, so I hung up. Whatever Isabella wanted to tell me, she could tell me later. I figured that it wasn't that important.
But it was.
