Chapter Seven
After school Lizzie meet Ronnie at her house. They had decided to hang out with Ronnie's friends. When she arrived she saw Ronnie sitting next to some brown hair girl and a tall blondish brown hair boy. They were all laughing when Ronnie noticed Lizzie coming towards them.
" Lizzie, honey I am glad you made it," said Ronnie as he leaned in and hugged her. Lizzie gave him a weird look but shrugged it off and hugged him back.
" Yeah me too, considering I live here and all," said Lizzie as she tried not to sound rude.
" Are you okay," asked Ronnie
" Oh yeah, I'm still a little steamed off from school. I saw Gordo and Miranda," said Lizzie
" I see, did you talk to them," asked Ronnie
" A little bit but that's only because I told them to stay away from me," said Lizzie
" Well good, I am glad that you did. people like that shouldn't be friends with a great girl like you Lizzie," said Ronnie
" Yeah," said Lizzie as she smiled at him. He turned around to face his friends as the smile on her face left as she looked down in sadness " A great girl like me"
" Liz, i want you to met my friends. Zack and Mandy," said Ronnie
Lizzie looked over at them and noticed that they were slightly smiling at her.
" Um, h-hi," said Lizzie
" Well well Ronnie, you didn't say anything about her being sexy and all," said Zack as he started to check her out. Lizzie looked at him with a weird look as she waited for Ronnie to respond.
" Hey now, she is with me so back off buddy," said Ronnie as he grabbed a hold of her hand. Lizzie felt a little relieve that Ronnie stood up to their relationship and had his friend back up. She squeezed a little on his hand for a sign of saying thank you to him.
" Whatever dude, lets get cracking to the mall or something," said Zack
" Yeah really, this is so boring," said Mandy as she flipped her long brown hair away from her face. Lizzie looked at Mandy and it reminded her of Kate. How she had that stuck up face expression and how she flipped her hair around like she was some kind of princess or something. Lizzie could already tell that she wasn't going to like her.
" That's fine with me, how about it Liz," asked Ronnie
" Sure the mall sounds good," said Lizzie
" Are you sure you have enough money for the mall," Mandy asked Lizzie with a smirk on her face. is she saying I'm poor, how dare her. I am not poor Lizzie thought as she glared at Mandy with a returned smirk.
" Of course," said Lizzie
" Well isn't that nice... lets go," Mandy shouted as she started to walk away. Ronnie and Zack started to follow behind her. Lizzie stood there for a second thinking maybe she shouldn't go to the mall with them but than Ronnie called out her name and she decided that it wont be that bad.
At the mall the boys basically followed Mandy where ever she went. Lizzie tried to ask Ronnie to go with her into Spencer, her and Gordo's favorite store, but he said he wanted to stay close with his friends and plus Mandy doesn't like that store. Cartoon Lizzie who cares what store Mandy likes or dislikes. I want to go in that store!Cartoon Lizzie face is all red and steaming as she falls to the ground Lizzie snapped back to reality as she noticed they were sitting down on a bench and staring at her with a weird look on their face. Lizzie sat down next to Ronnie with a embarrassed look on her face.
" You okay, sweetie," Ronnie asked as he puts his arm around her neck.
" Um yeah...yes I'm fine," said Lizzie as she stared into his green eyes, she began to get lost in them as she noticed he was leaning in to kiss her.
" Oh please stop, Me and Zack don't want to see that," said Mandy as she rolled her eyes at Lizzie. Cartoon Lizzie Well covered your eyes girlfriend because we are moving in (Okay I know that was Cheesy but I couldn't think of anything else to say)
" Well I don't know, it looks interesting," said Zack as he smiled over at Lizzie. Mandy whacked Zack on the back of his head with her purse " Ouch"
" Your sick," said Mandy as she got up from her chair and started to walk away. Lizzie felt a little relaxed that she was finally leaving them only but a little disappointed that Zack was still there. Just than Ronnie started to get up as well.
" Be right back. I'm going to see what's up with Mandy," said Ronnie as he leaned down and kiss her on the forehead " Mandy wait up" and with that he left Lizzie alone with....Zack.
" So baby what's going on," said Zack as he started to move closer by her. Lizzie shot him a dirty look as she started to move away from him " Whoa wolf eyes, i was just playing with the baby part. chill out"
" Well I don't want you near me as well, so will you be kindly to move your ass away from me," said Lizzie as she watched Zack burst into laughter. God she hated his laugh. It sounded like a hyena. Cartoon Lizzie please stop the torture , my ears cant take it anymore Cartoon Lizzie covers her ears as she started to scream
" Man your funny McGuire," said Zack as he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket. Lizzie's eyes wide when she saw what he had in his hand.
" You are not going to smoke that are you," Lizzie asked
Zack looked at her with a blank stare than started to laugh again.
" Oh man, another good joke. you should become a comedian McGuire," said Zack as he put the cigarette in his mouth " Do you have a lighter by any chance"
" You cant smoke that in here. your only fourteen years old," said Lizzie
" I'm sixteen years old thank you and I don't need DARE lessons from you ok. so how about that lighter," Zack asked her again
" Do you think I am that type of person that carries around a lighter," said Lizzie
" Well I don't know. I haven't really got to know you that well but so far you look pretty much of a hottie," said Zack as he reached into his shoe and pulled out a lighter " Aw. there we are"
Cartoon Lizzie did he just call me a hottie? oh man I'm going to be sick.
" Take that back now," shouted Lizzie
" Take what back," said Ronnie as he just approached them. Lizzie looked at him and smiled a little as she saw that Mandy was standing right behind him.
" Um, nothing important. how is everything. you okay Mandy," Lizzie asked even though she really didn't care what Mandy was feeling but she needed to change the subject.
" Why do you care," Mandy snapped at her.
" I um...I.." Lizzie started to say but Ronnie cut her off.
" Hey come on now Mandy, remember our talk we had," said Ronnie as he put his hand on her shoulder. Lizzie than noticed how Mandy looked up into his eyes and made that face like she does when she is about to kiss him. She was making the dreamy eyes.
" I know." said Mandy as she let out a small sigh and looked at Liz with a blank stare "I'm sorry Liz. I'm fine thanks,"
" Its cool," said Lizzie as she looked down at the ground " I guess" she whispered to herself. Cartoon Lizzie I cant believe this. Mandy likes Ronnie. No wait she loves Ronnie. she made the dreamy eyes or wait maybe she had something in her eye. Oh I'm so confused.
" We should get going," said Ronnie as he reached his hand out to Lizzie. She placed her hand onto his and he lifted her up from the bench. Zack finished his last drag and than put out the cigarette in the ashtray that was right next to him.
" Lets get some food. I'm craving for some Taco Bell," said Zack
" Your always hungry," said Mandy as she glared at him.
" Well what can I tell you babe, a man has got to eat," said Zack as he winked at her.
" Call me a babe again and I will smack that man right out of you," said Mandy as she started to walk away. Lizzie couldn't help but smile at her comeback.
" Meow...pst pst. down kitty," said Zack as he followed behind her.
Ronnie looked over at Lizzie and kissed her on the cheek.
" What's that for," asked Lizzie
" Your a good girl Liz," said Ronnie
"Not all the time," said Lizzie as she grinned at him.
" Oh now I will have to see that," said Ronnie as he smiled at her.
" Hmm. maybe," said Lizzie as she started to walk away from Ronnie.
" Oh well... come on," said Ronnie as he watched her walk further away from him.
" No way. Mr. Ronnie Charleston," said Lizzie as she smiled to herself.
