The alarm clock went off. Lizzie slammed her hand on it, realizing that today was the first day of high school. She crawled out of bed and stumbled over to her closet, tripping over a pink flip flop on the way. She rifled through her closet, looking for something impressive, when her eyes settled on 4 plastic bags laying neatly on the floor. She recognized them instantly- they were the only clothes she had bought in Rome on her shopping spree with Paolo that she had not yet worn.
She opened the bags, then the boxes inside. That's when she found her perfect outfit. It was a red wrap v-neck tank top, and a pair of super-low jeans. She chose her accessories selectively. She pulled out a pair of shoes from a shopping bag that read 'Prada.' They were red stilletos with tiny white polka dots. They were perfect. She would look put together, but not too fancy. After all, it was just school. Okay, so it was a really important day of school. Lizzie wore her hair down and straight, and applied make-up.
She looked great.
Lizzie walked into school, past a ton of people she didn't recognize. The first familiar face belonged to her former crush- Ethan Craft.
"Yo, Lizz-ay," he said in his usual manner, "wassup? Lookin' fine!" Lizzie smiled, returned a hello, walked away, and rolled her eyes.
::Someone remind me why I ever liked him!::
Lizzie heard someone call her name. She turned around, to find good ol' Gordo running in her direction.
Skipping a 'hello,' Lizzie yelled out "When did you get back from math camp?"
"It's chemistry camp," Gordo corrected. "I haven't heard from you since we came back from Rome! What happened?"
"Uch, harsh grounding," replied Lizzie, "the 'rents banned me from all human contact. I spent the rest of the summer in my backyard, getting a tan."
"It shows." Lizzie smiled. Ever since the kiss they shared in Rome, things had been different between Lizzie and Gordo- noticeably different. Granted, it had only been about a week or so until they parted for the rest of the summer, but it was enough time to establish that there was alot of awkwardness between the two.
All of a sudden, Lizzie heard a familiar voice behind her.
"Look, it's the celebrity."
