Chapter 8 LIZZIE'S POV:
"Lizzie!" yelled my mom. "We're leaving for school in ten minutes!" I shot up in my bed and looked around me. Oh my gosh, I must've slept through my alarm! I rubbed my eyes. I felt so tired. The last thing I remembered last night was talking with Gordo. Hmm, my bedclothes weren't on...only the clothes I wore yesterday. And my makeup was still on from yesterday. I rolled my eyes. I must've fallen asleep without getting ready for bed. I hated it when I did that. But the fact that my makeup was still on from yesterday, saved my life. I didn't have to do too much...just touch it up some. I jumped out of bed, changed my shirt, and brushed my teeth, and then rushed down stairs.
"Lizzie, we should've left a minute ago!" yelled Matt. "We're late thanks to you."
"Well we are usually late because of you, you moron," I said back.
"Lizzie! That is no way to talk to your little brother. Apologize," demanded my mom. I rolled my eyes.
"We don't have time for this. I'm leaving. I've got a stupid test today, and all. Let's go," I said as I walked out the door with my backpack slung over my shoulder. That wasn't a smart thing to do. My mom and Matt followed out to the car, and right as my mom got in the front seat, she turned her head towards me.
"If you don't want to be grounded, then apologize to your brother...NOW," she said. Oh boy, I got her really ticked off. The last thing I wanted was to be grounded. And good thing she warned me ahead of time this time.
"Sorry, Matt," I said. I tried to make it sound as heartfelt as possible. I always hated it when I was forced to apologize to him, when he was the one pushing my buttons in the first place. He always got away with things. Apologizing to Matt was better than getting grounded however.
Matt sat in the back seat, his face all stuck up and proud. "I accept your apology," he said in a 'sophisticated' voice.
"Now that that's over, we can get to school. If you all would just be nicer to each other, we could've left on time," said my mom. "May it be a lesson learned."
I felt like rolling my eyes, but that wouldn't get me anywhere. Well, yeah it would...banned to my room for a week. No friends, no TV, no phone...my eyes could restrain themselves. I felt like crying. My mom had no idea what I had gone through with Paolo, and what I am going through now. No one cared, but my good friends. No one stopped to ask except my good friends. Especially my boyfriend, Gordo.
*******************
"How do you think you did on the geography test?" Gordo asked me at lunch.
"Just the same as last week's Biology test...awful. Except there is a difference. I studied for the Biology test," I said.
Miranda sighed. "Biology, Geography, Algebra...how worse could it all get?"
"I was so tired last night, that I didn't even dress myself for bed," I said. "I only woke up in the clothes I wore yesterday. I didn't get ready for bed at all, I don't even remember anything."
Gordo blushed. "Ooh, what was going on last night, Lizzie?" asked Miranda teasingly.
"Gordo was over," I said. "We were 'studying' for the test."
"Oh, I see..." said Miranda.
I looked at Gordo who was still blushing. "What happened last night, Gordo. I all remember is us talking about..." and then I stopped. Miranda was there, and I felt like what happened last night was private between Gordo and I. The talk about Paolo was something that I could never had talked to Miranda about quite like how I talked it over with Gordo. Suddenly then, Larry came over to the table. His hair was slicked back and he was wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses.
"Hey, Miranda," he said smoothly while taking off his sunglasses. I could sense a sudden change in Miranda that had never really happened before when Larry came around. What could I say? Larry looked hot.
"H-h-hey, Larry," stuttered Miranda. She waved her hand a little and then moved a strand of hair behind her ear. She moved aside and allowed some room beside her for Larry. He sat down.
"Would you like to go out with me sometime?" he asked. Miranda looked at Gordo and me.
"Would you like to take a little walk around the cafeteria?" she asked. Larry looked a little surprised at that idea.
"Sure," he shrugged. Then they got up and took a small stroll around the cafeteria. As they left I looked over at Gordo and smiled. He smiled back.
"I feel some love in the air," I said. "I think she actually likes him. And he lost that shirt."
"Are you feeling better today, Lizzie?" asked Gordo. He took my hand gently in his.
"I'm feeling somewhat better, David Gordon," I said. "I must've been tired though. Did I even say goodbye to you?"
"Naw...you fell asleep in my arms. You fell asleep crying. I don't want that to happen to you anymore, McGuire. I love to see your smile...and last night...you seemed almost dead," he said.
I looked into his eyes. "So, did you put me under the covers," I said.
He nodded. "I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so tired." He gave a little smile.
"What?" I asked. "What, Gordo?"
"Nothing. It's just that you're even more beautiful when you're sleeping," he said. I blushed.
"I had thought that it was my mom who put me to sleep," I said. He shook his head. "But then," I said, "my mom would've put on my nightgown most likely."
"Oh, don't worry. There will be a time when Gordo will do the same," said Miranda. Gordo and I both blushed.
"Miranda!" I yelled. "How long were you here?"
"Not long. Sorry, I just couldn't let go by!" she said laughing. I slapped her.
"Don't do that again," I said. "So how did it go with you and Larry?"
"He asked me out!" squealed Miranda. I squealed to. Gordo covered his ears and rolled his eyes.
"I am sick of your girl talk!" he yelled.
"Aw, c'mon," I said, "you know you love it!"
"So what did you say?" asked Gordo.
"What do you think!" squealed Miranda.
"So when will it be?" I asked.
"Friday night. The day before Kate's party," she said. I smiled.
"I'm so happy for you, Miranda," I said smiling. "I always knew that you and Tudgeman would hit it off someday." I thought about the former Larry. Same shirt, and an alien like creature. I quickly changed my mind, "Well, not always!"
