READ THIS! VERY IMPORTANTE (my beautiful spanish word!) Author Note: Alas! I have time to write. I have been so busy on my other stories and I'm taking a class in grammar, which helps me to improve my lovely writing. Just kidding. We have the best language arts teacher because she teaches us grammar, but that's not all we do, we make up our own stories and we have so much time to read during class. Then we talk about the books we read in class, like a book talk. Please review and I don't know if I can update tomorrow or anytime soon. So I hope you enjoy this chapter. I have written the whole plot out and this story might have 20 or 21 chapters. I have made a decision that I am not going to do a sequel unless you want me to go into full detail about Michael and Abby's life, so that's a no to sequel. Unless, a lot of people want me to and I thin that's unlikely.

Oh yes and something else, what does M/M mean? Matt and Miranda or Matt and Melina. I have been getting a lot of this and if you'll let me know about this, I will be sure to put it in the story.

Lizzie gave a big sigh with her hand resting on her chin. She was tired, happy, and a little bit sad at the same time. She had just been kissed by her best friend, Gordo. It was more like she kissed him, but he did respond to the kiss. She hinted that Gordo liked her more than a friend, but was it really true? She shook off the thought as Abby and Michael bounded down the stairs to go to school.

"Ready to go to school?" asked Lizzie smiling.

"We've noticed that you have been smiling a lot lately. Actually Michael is too clueless so I had to point it out to him. Does it have to involve with a certain person, or man of the sort," hinted Abby.

"Let's go to school," laughed Lizzie as she pushed them out the door. They both got into the car and drove off.

Michael and Abby were talking about the latest news going on in school. Michael then talked about the pranks that he was setting up to do on the teacher. Even though Abby was good in school and didn't like to get in trouble often, once in a while she helped prank the teachers with Michael.

When they got to school, Lizzie bid them her goodbyes and love and she knew that they were going to have one rough day at school. It was stretched across town that Carl Childers was accused of a crime and had been put in jail. The trial declared him guilty and when he did get out of jail, he had to move to another state so that he was well away from them. If he ever made any contact with the children or his wife, then he would be sent to prison for life.

Abby and Michael walked into the big brick elementary school, Hilllridge Elementary School. Students were buzzing around and the twins entered into their fourth grade classroom. There were stares at the two children and they thought that it would just wear off or something, but it didn't.

Abby sat next to one of her friend named Alicia and asked her, "Why is everybody staring at Michael and I? Haven't they already realized that we are twins, or they still not believing us?"

"Abby, you don't know?" whispered Alicia. "The whole school is talking about your dad and how he is prison. I of course didn't join in their jeers towards you and went about my own business. But Alex Mahaffay's dad is a lawyer and he's friends with your dad's lawyer. Obviously, Alex's dad told him about your dad and he told the whole school."

"WHAT!" exclaimed Abby.

"Sshh. Everybody is going to hear you and you're going to cause more of a commotion than before. Don't worry it will all wear off ," assured Alicia.

"Okay quiet down class, I am going to make some copies of this worksheet that you're going to do next. Now Alex, please make sure that no one does anything that is not acceptable. If they do then let me know."

The teacher walked out of the class and Alex stood up. A devilish grin stretched on his face and neither Michael nor Abby knew what was going to happen next.

"Guess what?" questioned Alex. "I heard from my dad that Michael and Abby are the children of the new prisoner."

Michael rose up furiously and held Michael back from punching him in the face. Michael however was laughed a cruel laugh. Abby was furious, but didn't want to show it, but Michael was definitely showing it.

"Stop it," demanded Abby. "We don't want to get in trouble and plus, he isn't worth it."

Michael slowly backed down and returned to his seat, and Abby headed towards hers. But just then Abby heard Alex's voice.

"Abby, such a pity that your dad had to go to prison. My father and your father were such good friends, but right after him going into prison. I don't think my dad could ever talk to him again. I mean who could talk to him after what eh did. He's worthless scum and so is Michael and your mother because—"

Abby raised a fist and WHAM! He was punched in the nose by a girl and he was definitely going to be teased for awhile, maybe even more than Abby and Michael.

"That's what you get for talking bad about my family. If you do that again, then it's going to be your nose and your stomach," said Abby coolly.

Michael however was delighted and slapped Abby a high-five. She declined it and said that you only needed to do that under certain circumstances. The whole class was cheering on Abby, while they were taunting Alex.

"Miss Childers, you must come with me. That was unacceptable and I will have to lead you to the office," shouted a voice.

Abby whirled around and there was standing an angry teacher. The class quieted down and they slowly went back in their seats to leave Abby standing there in the middle of the room. She felt her face flaming, not only with anger, but also with embarrassment.

"Come," instructed the teacher and led Abby to the principal's office. They stood their silent as they made their way to the office.

"Here sit down," commanded the teacher. "And the principal will be right with you. She'll be sure to call your parents to come and get you for the rest of the day. My decision is already made and you are not to be here in this school to have Inside School Suspension, but instead Outside School Suspension for three days. I think that will teach you your lesson."

And with that she turned her back towards Abby. She then whirled back around and said in a quiet voice, "Abby, I would expect better from you."

After a few minutes of waiting, the principal came in to tell her that she had just called her parents and to wait here until they got her. She waited and waited for her mother, and when she came barging into the principal's office, she was angry.

"Abby, let's go," snapped Lizzie. "I would never expect such bad behavior. I thought that Michael would do such a thing, but you. When then told me it was you, I nearly fainted and had a car wreck. Honestly, I would expect better from you. We will talk about your punishments later."

"Sorry Mum," mumbled Abby. Lizzie grabbed Abby's arm and lead her to the car. She hopped in it and they drove off.

After Michael had came home, Abby and Michael sat on the couch doing their homework while Lizzie was wrapping up her conversation with the school on Abby's suspension. She then dialed another phone number and Abby had heard Lizzie go into a low whisper. She crept behind a wall so that she could hear Lizzie's conversation.

"Honestly Miranda, I was bewildered that my own daughter had done that," spoke Lizzie. "Not only do I have to worry about her, but my problem with Gordo.

"No Miranda, I promise it is no big deal. I will talk to you later about it.

"Okay bye Miranda, thank you so much.

Lizzie clicked the off button and Abby raced up to her room. Lizzie looked up at the stairs and saw a glimpse of Abby running to her room. Lizzie's face fell and she knew that Abby had overheard her over the phone.

What was this world coming to? She had beginning to fall for her best friend, her husband was abusive and was locked up in jail, and her daughter would probably not be on speaking terms with her until another two months.

"It's just another day. One of those days that you can never forget," mumbled Lizzie as she went back to her work.
