Chapter Nine: My Sacramento Girl
Lizzie's POV
"Lizzie honey, wake up. We're here."
I slowly opened my eyes. Sunshine blazed through the windshield with extreme force, causing me to snap my eyes shut again. I was full of energy, I could tell, but I didn't feel like moving. I felt like crawling under a rock. It was like the world was cheering for me to wake up but I was telling it to shut up before I started the next ice age.
"Lizzie, sweetie, c'mon! We've got lots to do today."
I attempted to open up my eyes again. This time my mother blocked my view from the sun so they stayed open. She gave me a childish smile. "There's my beautiful girl." She kissed me on the forehead.
What happened next was totally bizarre and utterly freaky.
AL: Whoa! Since when is my mom going X-Files on me?
My mom pulled away from giving me a kiss and I saw Gordo's head on her body. "Lizzie?" she said with concern, still with her voice, but coming out of Gordo's mouth.
I suddenly felt very energetic. "I'm up!" I shouted, jumping from the car. Today was going to be a long day, I could tell.

Twitty's POV
For the Battle of the Bands, there was a required Meet-and-Greet for all the contestants at 7:00 a.m. on Thursday morning. It was really more like a quick breakfast provided by Harry's Honey Ham where you met the competition. Two words: Whoop and eee.
The worst thing about it was, though, was that we still had to go to school that day. We could only be at the stupid breakfast thing for half an hour then head for Lawrence Junior High.
Mrs. Stevens dropped us all off at the Mountainside Hotel where the thing was. The atmosphere was really weird; I felt this weird vibe coming from our band. Louis and Tawny weren't quite all lovey-dovey as they usually were - just holding hands - and Ren and Larry were, well, kind of, meshed together, for lack of a better word. They kept making lame excuses to be next to each other. Like during the ride over. Ren insisted she would be fine sitting in the third row of seats with Beale. When her mom said, "Why don't you just sit in the front with me?" she got all nervous and stuttered, "Um, cuz I, um, have to talk to, um, Larry about, um, something."
Whatever.
We got out in front of the Mountainside Hotel. It wasn't huge but it wasn't tiny either. Bell boys in weird-looking uniforms were helping people out of a white Navigator. First a kid with curly brown hair got out, looking like he had been up all night. I looked the car's license plate, seeing it was from a dealership in L.A.
Next a girl with dark brown hair got out. She looked happy to be out of the car. Then the other guy made a remark and she shouting, "Yea right Gordo!" and flicked his head.
Then suddenly a pretty blonde girl raced out of the car. My mind went clear blank. She was gorgeous, like a pale goddess straight out of some legend. Her perfect blue eyes were red and blotchy, as if had been crying not to long ago. She stood in between the two others and tried desperately to give them good, clean smiles, but her unglued side came shining through with ease. The guy asked her what was wrong and she just said, "Nothing," then flashed him another bad smile.
What I wouldn't give to be that guy, I thought. He's so lucky he even knows her.
Yea, my Sacramento Girl.
Hey everybody! Sorry this chapter's so short and sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was working on "An Inch From Eden" on FictionPress.Com (under ParentTrap1011). READ IT!!!
I cannot wait until Friday when that Chelsea/Eddie episode of That's So Raven is coming on! I'm kind of hoping that it doesn't work out or something so Raven will get jealous and kind of not. I swear I had a heart attack when I saw the commercial, and I don't know why. lol
Keep it Heavenly,
