Chapter 15.A Day In The Sun.
19 years old Kate Sanders sighed loudly, staring at her boyfriend's picture. 'I miss you...' she thought. One of her many blonde roommates came in and looked around.
"Can I borrow your hairbrush? Cammy lost mine," she asked. Kate shrugged. The girl used it and left Kate's room. A little after, she heard a knock.
"Come in!" Lizzie did. "Hey," Kate greeted her. Lizzie smiled and they hugged.
"Happy birthday! So? How have you been?" Lizzie asked. "How's NYU? Melina said hi" Kate shrugged again, looking at Ethan's picture and at her ring. "Oh, Katie... I know you miss him" Kate nodded, tears streaming down her face and ruining her makeup. She rested her head on Lizzie's chest, who stroked her hair.
Gordo's dorm room:
"Okay, so you came here because...?" Gordo asked. Ethan was sitting on his bed.
"I couldn't stand another day without seeing her. I love her, man," Ethan replied. Gordo nodded. He knew that feeling.
"And why are you here-" he gestured that word. "-instead of there?" he pointed to a map he had and marked New York.
"I need your help with something. I would've called Lizzie, but Isabella told me she wasn't there then giggled about something that sounded like 'l'amore'," Ethan said, still confused about Isabella's reaction at his simple question. Gordo nodded, grabbed his jacket and got up.
"Let's go," he said, hurrying Ethan, who smiled at him, and they left.
Kate's dormroom:
"You're so jealous," Lizzie said over her cellphone.
"I'm so not. I'm not the jealous type," Miranda replied. "Bye girl. Take care of Kate"
"I will. Take care of your man!" Lizzie replied before hanging up. Kate finished clearing her face from the tear stained makeup and looked at her friend. "Come here, baby Katie..." Kate went to her friend's side and they hugged firmly. Just then, they heard a rock on her window.
"Ethan used to do that... I bet that one's for Christina," Kate said, before looking down from the window. She squealed, Lizzie looked down too and smiled. The two girls ran down and Kate threw herself on her boyfriend's arms. "I missed you..." Ethan kissed her forehead gently.
"I missed you too, baby," he replied. "Happy birthday. I love you"
"I love you too," she whispered, resting her head on his protective chest. He pulled her a little appart and grabbed a little box from his pocket.
"You know I can't live another day knowing you're here, surrounded by guys and I'm there, nowhere close to protect you... I bet you get asked out a lot," Ethan said, feeling a little jealous. She smiled at his childish manners. "Anyway, I know this'll make you mine forever... Katharine Jennifer Sanders, would you marry me?" she nodded and smiled again, this time through tears. "Tudge and Randy Pandy are coming here and you are shopping for your perfect dress in... 3 hours. I wanna marry you tonight" Kate's smile grew bigger. Lizzie squealed a little. "By the way, Lizzie, Isabella said she really liked the world crashing, but she said it's a little too rough" Lizzie looked confused.
"Crash World?" he nodded. "Yay! You two are getting married!" she jumped to Ethan and they hugged, Kate's eye set on them. "Don't worry, Sanders, my former crush isn't alive anymore," Lizzie said, hugging her too. "Shouldn't we go to shop for your dress?" Kate nodded, kissed Ethan and the girls left.
End of chapter.
"Everything's working out fine
You've got all the things you want and I've got mine
No more struggle and strife
Kickin' back and diggin'...it's a wonderful life
And then you awoke
To start the day out laughing
It's some kind of a joke
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
City girls and small town boys
Big time spenders with expensive toys
Pretty people who don't look so good
Some are mopping floors and some are chopping wood
But they try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's doing everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you want to get it, got to get it done
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Mama said 'Listen to me,
I can't tell you what your life's gonna be
Every day there's something new, it's true
A light could shine on you'
But they try and they try
Waiting for the clouds to disappear from the sky
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's working hard to have some fun
First you want a million then a million and one
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun
Everybody's doing everything they can
Some will count on luck and some will make a plan
If you want to get it, got to get it done
Everybody's waiting for a day in the sun"
AN: Maybe this one wasn't that good chapter, it was mostly like the last one. I just wanted to point that this was the same day that 'Sweet Sixteen' and 'Jericho' (Kate's birthday), and 'Girl Can Rock'.
Ashkash: Thanx a lot! I really appreciate you took the time to read (and even review) my stories!
Cka3ka-13: Oh, I get it now! You'll have to wait a little, I'm working on a story that might be a little like 'A Sophomoric Story' (only they're seniors) and I actually like it. The chapters are really long! About 'Part Of Your World' I yet have to write the alst chapter (It's a really short story). Anyway, thanx a lot! XOXO.
AN2: I know this story maybe wasn't as good as Metamorphosis, but I just wanted to give another side to this story. Stay tuned for my new stories!
LGFever: Thanx a lot! I love ya, twin sis! (symbolic)
AN3: It was great writing for all of you! Love,
LizzieyGordo4ever.
