Chapter 3
Lizzie pulled her backpack onto her shoulder as she made her back into the school She didn't feel much like eating anymore. She decided to go to the computer and write some more for Dear Lizzie. She opened up her folder and saw a new e-mail from "Can't Tell". She got really excited because she wanted to know what was going on and maybe figure out who this mystery person was. But right when she opened it someone walked into the room and said, "Lizzie?" Lizzie looked up and saw Miranda fidgeting with her thumbs the way she did when she was nervous.
"Yeah?" Lizzie pulled hair out of her face.
"I just . . . needed to tell you something." Miranda sat down next to Lizzie. She quickly looked at the e-mail in front of them and looked down at her lap, "Another e-mail from the pregnant girl?" Lizzie nodded, "Well, I guess you haven't figured out who she is yet. Umm . . . see, I . . .I . . ."
Miranda kept mumbling and fidgeting so much that Lizzie said, "Miranda? What's wrong?"
"Well, see . . .I . . ." Right as Lizzie thought Miranda was about to tell her what was going on the bell rang signaling they had to go to class. "I have to get to class." Miranda said, looking relieved.
Shutting of the computer, Lizzie got up with her and walked out the door, "Tell me later, okay?" Miranda nodded and walked away.
.::Later::.
Lizzie left school knowing Miranda wasn't going to talk to her. She knew Miranda was having a tough time with something. If Lizzie didn't know better she would have thought Miranda was Can't Tell. But Miranda didn't have a boyfriend. But it just seemed so odd that Miranda would yell, first at Gordo and then Lizzie. And she ate Jello. Miranda hated Jell-O. All these thoughts were overwhelming Lizzie. She got on the bus and sullenly rode home. She dragged herself through the front door and ignored her mother when she said hello. Lizzie went right up to her room and fell on her bed. She rolled over onto her side and looked out her window. Longing to know what Miranda was going to tell her she picked up her phone and dialed Miranda's number. Her mom answered, "Hi Mrs. Sanchez, it's Lizzie. Is Miranda there?"
"Yes she is, Lizzie," Miranda's mom answered, "But she's grounded from the phone. Didn't she tell you?"
"No . . . No, i guess she forgot. Um . . . Mrs. Sanchez, why is Miranda grounded?"
"She didn't tell you that either?" Lizzie said no, "Well, I'm sorry Lizzie, but you're going to haveto wait for Miranda to tell you."
"Bt I'm afraid she won't tell me."
"Don't worry, she will. Trust me." They said their goodbyes and hung up. Matt walked into her room and looked at her in shock, "I didn't know you were here. Sorry." And he fled from the room. Lizzie couldn't even stand to look at Matt. He's the one who made everything go wrong. It was all his fault. The thought comforted her for awhile but then she looked at her floor and saw a stack of books on the floor. With a groan she grabbed the top book and started her homework. Three hours later, just about the time she was about to give up on her math homeowrk, her mom called her down for dinner.
Dinner went by slowly and miserably. Somehow the conversation turned to Lizzie and Gordo kissing. Matt started put down Gordo. Lizzie had to bite her tongue from lashing out as her parents laughed at Matt's snide remarks. She would have loved nothing more than to scream at her parents and hurt Matt in any way. She thought of good things before she said politley, "May I please be excused?"
Her dad was the first to answer after her parenst looked at her like she was insane, "No. You will sit ther and wait until the rest of us are finished eating." Lizzie sunk back in her chair and waited, quite impatiently, as her family finished up their meal. Finally Lizzie was allowed to go upstairs. She ran up to her room and wanting to do anything that her parents disapproved of, put her Good Charlotte cd in her cd player. She blasted it and layed on her bed. She thought of what Matt had been saying and how her parents had laughed and started crying. She missed Gordo. It had only been one day but she couldn't stand not having Gordo in her life. A little while later she fell asleep still crying.
She woke up the next morning and instantly saw her cd player gone. and something ina little pices on her floor. She walked over to it and saw it was her Good Charlotte cd. She felt a rush of anger sweep over her and decoded to do something else to upset her parents. She went into her closet and pulled out the sexiest thing she owned. A black mini skirt and a a black halter tp that showed off most of her stomach. Her parents had no idea Lizzie had bought this outfit and couldn't wait to see the look on their faces whe nthey saw her leaving the house wearing it. She got completly ready for school and went into the kitchen holding her bookbag. She decided to grab a piece of toast and leave only after her parents saw her. Not before and not too soon after. She didn't want to give them a chance to object. She walked into the kitchen grabbed the piece of toast and started eating it. Matt was in there eating cereal. When he saw Lizzie he said, "Slut."
Lizzie grabbed him by the back of the neck and said, "I hate you for what you did. You're going to pay . . . big." She suppressed her anger as her parenst came in. Lizzie let go of Matt, who had been pulling his head forward in an attempt to get away, and his head fell in his cereal. They saw her and their mouths opened but no sound came out. Lizzie grabbed her backpack and said, "Bye." and left. When she left the kitchen she started singing The Anthem very loudly, "I dont ever wanna be like you.I dont wanna do the things you do. Im never gonna hear the words you say Cause I dont ever wanna. I dont ever wanna be. You" She left the house and smiled to herself. She had done it. She had gotten her parents furious. This was starting out to be a pretty good day.
