Chapter 1: School's Out!
Lizzie sat in her desk impatiently making glances at the clock every minute or so. It was the last class of the day and it was the last day of school before Christmas break.
Lizzie Thinking: When will this class end? Not that I don't love history, but seriously two whole weeks of nothingness ahead of me and the stupid clock is making every minute seem like an hour.
This Christmas Lizzie would be spending the holiday at home. And boy, was she glad. She just couldn't stand her last Christmas before college being spent in Vegas with her grandma when she couldn't even gamble. While everyone else went to the casino she was stuck in her grandma's house alone with Matt. But this year, ahhh, this year she would be home. Gordo would be spending this holiday at home as well, since he really had no extending family to spend it with. The last of his grandparents had died when he was a sophomore. Miranda was spending Christmas with her family in Mexico and was leaving tomorrow.
LT: Oh, God, finally, only 10 seconds til the bell rings! 3...2...1!
She walked out of class and towards her locker where she met Gordo and Miranda. Every year since freshman year they had found where each of their lockers were and picked the one with the best location and then began to work on the people with the lockers on either side of theirs to switch with them. Somehow it had always worked.
Lizzie: Hey, seriously, did that last class seem to go on forever for you guys too? I thought I was never going to get home. Not that home is so exciting but we have to make the most of our time left together before you (points to Miranda) leave tomorrow."
Miranda: Oh, I know, I wanted to die, it was so long."
Gordo: What are you guys talking about? I wish Film Making would never end."
M L: Guys."
L: Whatever, let's just get out of here."
A/N: I know that Gordo is Jewish, but I've decided to exercise my artistic liberty and have Gordo's family celebrate Christmas. Not as the birth of Jesus, but just as a gift giving holiday. I have actually heard of non-Christian families celebrating Christmas before so this is not something I just made up. Anyway, enjoy and leave those reviews.
