Chapter 5. Hit me baby, one more time!

That Monday, at school:

"Hey roach," David said, as he sat on his sister's table at lunch. Ethan sat right next to him (across Edie) and he and Edie exchanged smiles.

"Hi dweeb," she replied. Lizzie joined them, dressed with a cute pink mini skirt and a white tank top. She smiled at David, waved at Ethan and kissed Edie's cheek. "I thought you were sitting with your sisters" Lizzie shook her head and her bouncy curls set on her forehead.

"I didn't want to... How are you, guys?" she asked, looking at her salad. Ethan and David exchanged glances.

"Cool," Ethan said. "We have the first game tonight" Lizzie nodded.

"I know, we're going," she replied. "Oh, I forgot a Coke. Be right back" she got up and walked to a machine. They watched as Ronny followed her, but Candace (who kept her little sister as safe as gold) spotted them and ran over.

"So, how's cheerleading working on you?" David asked, his eyes still fixed in Lizzie.

"I'm fine with it, but Lizzie isn't. Her sisters are constantly trying to correct her and stuff... I don't think she likes it that much," Edie commented. "Besides, Kate is extra-mean to her... maybe because some people said Lizzie's hotter and that Kate's crush likes her or something like that" The guys exchanged glances again and Lizzie came back. "By the way, Lizzie's coming home tonight. We're going to the game and then she comes back too" David nodded.

"I'll be at Ethan's before it. I can drive you back," he said. The girls nodded. "Well, gotta go. I have to get to the Coach. See ya" he got up and went to the exit of the cafeteria, but Lizzie stopped him.

"You forgot you wallet," she said. He took it and smiled at her. "See ya at the game, and... good luck" She smiled back and waved at him.

"Good luck to you too," he replied, before kissing her on the cheek and leaving. Lizzie touched her cheek and smiled.

That night, after the game:

"You were awesome!" Edie exclaimed. They had won and David had made the final touchdown. Ethan had been the second best player. "Both of you" she blushed a little and Ethan smiled at her while she hugged her brother. She smiled back and Lizzie appeared.

"Hi! You totally kicked their butts!" she said. David smiled at her. "I loved it when you 'accidentally' punched Ronny after he tried to flirt with Edie, Ethan" Ethan blushed a little.

"Yeah, well... gotta go. See y'all tomorrow" he and David highed five, he smiled at the girls and left. David got up.

"Let's go too," David said. "It's late" Edie and Lizzie nodded and got up too. They all got in his car and he took them home. Later, Lizzie was brushing her teeth (still on her cheerleading uniform) and he got in the bathroom. "Hey" she waved at him. "I was wondering... would you like to go out with me? I know your opinion about me isn't the best, and that you think I'm pathetic and all, but..." he made a short pause and she looked into his baby-blue eyes before he continued. "I really like you". She made a short pause too, then nodded. She spit on the sink and smiled at him.

"I'd love to," she replied. He smiled back.

"Great. See ya 'round, then" he smiled one more time and left.

End of chapter.
