Chapter 8. Growing up
"Hi Lizzie!" Tracy said with a sly smile. Lizzie rolled her eyes mentally and faked a smile.
"Hey Trace," Lizzie replied.
"You know... I couldn't believe you would drop Cheerleading, but then I realized... you have enough competition. You couldn't stand not being the best," Tracy said. Lizzie narrowed her eyes.
"And why would you say that?" Lizzie asked politely. Tracy smiled again.
"Oh, please... Enough with your sisters, and you have me! David was hitting on me at lunch," Tracy replied. "I think he is just a ladiesman" Lizzie pursed her lips. "Omigosh... don't tell me you liked him?" Lizzie forced another smile.
"No... I was just thinking..." Tracy looked at her. "I thought he didn't like girls who stuff their bras like pillows... Anyway, maybe it was my bad," Lizzie said. "Oops... gotta go! See ya, hun" Lizzie walked off and rolled her eyes. Waiting in her locker, there was Edie. "Omigosh... here comes 'the talk'!" she exclaimed, smiling. Edie smiled a little too.
"Please, tell me it was your choice," Edie said. Lizzie stared at her.
"Of course it was! Jeez, Edie, you worry too much!" Lizzie exclaimed. Edie smiled again.
"So he didn't tell you anything?" Edie asked. Lizzie rolled her eyes.
"He even asked me if I was sure. Twice," Lizzie said. Edie smiled, relieved. "So, that's how good you think about your brother?"
"Let's just say... he doesn't have a clean reputation," Edie replied. "So, how are things with Candace?"
"...We haven't talked yet. Jamie totally supported me, but Jessie's on Cands' side," Lizzie said. "Did you hear something about Tracy mad at me?" Edie laughed.
"Yeah, right! Like she would have any chance!" Edie exclaimed. "I think she likes my brother too"
"And what about Ethan?" Lizzie asked. "You two seem really close lately" Edie blushed. "Omigosh! It's true!"
"None of us has said anything yet... besides, he's David's best friend," Edie replied. "He couldn't date his 'baby sister'... he practically saw me growing up!" Lizzie stood a second on the gym door, looking in, then turned to Edie, smiling.
"I can see he hasn't got enough of that. He still wants to see you growing up... but from a different point of view!" Lizzie said. Edie blushed more and Lizzie ran in. Edie smiled and followed her cheerful best friend.
"So, Gordon, where were you last night?" Ethan asked. Gordo kicked the football to hide his blush. "Are you telling me...?" David looked up and Ethan smiled. "Yeah! I knew you'd make it!"
"Sh!" David hissed. "I don't want it to be published that way! She really trusted me, you know?" Ethan shook his head.
"I'm sorry... but you really like her, right?" Ethan asked. David nodded and leaned in.
"Man... when she asked me to do it with her, part of me didn't want to..." David said.
"You mean your gay part?" Ethan asked. David laughed.
"No, dumb. The part of me... that might have feelings for her," David whispered. Ethan's jaw hung open.
"Sh-t!" Ethan yelled. David rolled his eyes a little and looked at the door of the gym. Lizzie and Edie were coming in. He smiled and waved at them. Lizzie ran across the gym and kissed him on the lips, much to Tracy's anger.
"Whoa! What was that for?" David asked, once they pulled appart. Lizzie smiled.
"Just to let you know hom much I lo-like you," Lizzie replied.
"You think you... could repeat that again?" David said. Lizzie smiled and kissed him again. "You know, it's not clear enough..." she gave him a French kiss and he stood there.
"Clear enough?" Lizzie asked. He nodded, dumbfonded. Edie and Ethan were standing a few inches from each other, laughing. Edie looked up at Ethan and smiled, while he smiled back. David coughed and dragged Ethan a little far. "See ya, guys!" they waved and left while the other girls from Lizzie and Edie's class got in.

Rilla1989: Sorry you felt this way, but I didn't describe anything (I'm 14!)... I know what you said is right, I had to change the rating...
I only did that to show his feelings were real.
I also know you didn't want to flame, but... it really hurt. No hard feelings!
AN2: Okay, this story isn't read by that many people (maybe 2 or 3?) and, though I love writing for you, I just don't feel like it. I get you don't like this story and it turns me down. Cya
