HEY! SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO GET THIS CHAPTER OUT! IT'S BEEN HARDER WITH SCHOOL STARTING! ENJOY!
Chapter 8: Getting readyThe next morning Lizzie woke up next to Adam. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
Hmm She thought as she looked at Adam. I need to ask him to go to Maryland with me.
She left her room and went to shower. All the time she thought about how exciting her trip to Maryland would be. She was very excited about it and couldn't wait.
When she got out of the shower she quickly dressed and ran mousse through her hair. She then went to Adam with the intent of asking him about Maryland.
When she got to her room Prince Charming was still sleeping soundly. She sighed and kissed him on the cheek before she went down.
Miranda was already in the kitchen eating some yogurt.
"What were you and Adam doing last night" Miranda had a gleam in her eye.
"Why do you ask?" Lizzie replied with the same gleam.
"Because you and Adam never came down for dinner! I figured something better must have come up!"
"Oh My God!" Lizzie responded. "I totally forgot about dinner. How did you and Josh eat?"
"Lizzie!" Miranda made a hurt look. "I can cook!" She now pouted.
"Yeah okay." After a few seconds, "What did you really do?"
"We ordered pizza!"
Both girls started laughing.
Adam walked in just as they were now giggling.
"Damn! I always walk in after the funny thing was said and I never know what you guys are laughing about!" Adam pouted.
"Miranda ordered pizza." Lizzie stated matter of factly.
"Oh, I was better off not knowing."
"Shut up!" Lizzie went to him. She was feeling a little awkward around him because of the night before but he didn't seem to be so she tried to let it go.
Later, Adam and Lizzie had gone shopping and Lizzie decided that this was the perfect time to tell him about the trip. After all... it was in four days.
"Hey Adam," Lizzie started as they stopped for lunch at the Rose Garden. (The Rose Garden is a restaurant I made up. It is very romantic and has all kinds of foods. You walk through a garden to get to the front door and the waiting area has a stream of rose petals on the floor. The tables have floating candles in the shape of hearts and the waiters/waitresses are always friendly.)
"Yeah?" He turned towards her to let her know that she had his attention.
"Do you want to go to Maryland with me?" Lizzie let out a sigh of relief when she said it. At least she had finally asked.
"Of course!" Adam was so glad she had asked. Wow talk about last minute! He thought.
"I was hoping you'd say that!"
They spent the rest of the day being happy and having fun.
While Lizzie and Adam were out having fun, Miranda and Josh were at Miranda and Lizzie's house arguing over everything.
"Miranda, I know that you want to know where I am taking you, but it's a surprise! ... Which means you don't find out until we get there! Got it?" He shot her a sharp look as he sighed. She was not cooperating.
"Well how do I know what clothes to pack? Hot clothes or cold clothes?"
"What if I pack for you? That way it's even more of a surprise?!" He gave her a goofy grin.
"NO! How about you just tell me where we are going? You absolutely can't pack my bags for me! What if you choose something ugly or un-matching socks?"
"Miranda! Stop It! You will be fine! Pack a little of both!" With that he stormed out of the room.
"Jeeze! I only asked a simple question!"Miranda muttered to herself.
"I heard that!" Josh yelled as he walked down the steps.
"Lizzie, this isn't fair! I just want to know where we are going!" Miranda complained to Lizzie over the phone. "Oh, and is Adam going with you to Maryland?" She added as an afterthought.
"Yes!" Lizzie squealed.
"That's cool! At least you know where you are going. Have you told Gordo yet?"
"No!" Lizzie said grumpily. "Besides, he is too preoccupied with his cheerleader. Who is still in high school!"
"Oh Liz grow up. I met her last night and she seemed okay. Oh hey, speaking of schools, what colleges did you apply for?"
"Well lots, all away from home because at the time I wanted to get away from my parents, but now..." She trailed off with tears in her eyes.
"Hey Liz, I understand! Don't cry!" Miranda tried to cheer her up. "So what colleges?"
Lizzie sniffed, "I applied to colleges all along the east coast. Frostburg, Christopher Newport, Concorde, St. Johns, William and Mary and Maramount. That's all I think. Oh and Penn State!"
"Wow! I applied to Frostburg and Christopher Newport too. Wouldn't it be cool if we went to Frostburg? Adam goes there!"
"I know! And Gordo applied there too!" Lizzie grew excited.
"So did Josh! We all have to get in!"
"We should be getting our letters any day now! Oh Miranda I hope we go to the same school!"
Lizzie was so excited about her trip she started packing right away. After all, now her trip was only three days away.
Lizzie had no clue what the weather was like in Maryland so she packed a little of everything. She tried to explain to Miranda that this was kind of like not knowing because she didn't know the climate but Miranda was less than sympathetic.
"So look it up!" Had been her response.
Lizzie was curious about where Josh was taking Miranda and every time she asked him he said, "Don't worry about it!" She knew he was up to something.
After a few tries she gave up. So instead Lizzie and Miranda packed together.
When Adam walked in Lizzie's room that night he wondered what happened. It looked like a tornado had gone through it. Clothes and shoes were everywhere. But, as Lizzie had informed him, that's what happened when Lizzie and Miranda packed together.
Adam was not excited about summer ending. That meant back to school and being away from Lizzie. Little did Adam know but Lizzie had gotten four acceptance letters this afternoon and one was from Frostburg. Lizzie had decided that she was going to just show up and surprise him.
Miranda, Gordo and Josh had also gotten accepted. Gordo was not sure if he wanted to take the acceptance and be away from Alyssa.
After a few days of worrying and being excited about the trip it was now the morning of and Lizzie was more stressed than anything.
