Lizzie handed the supplies over to Paolo. "Are you sure you don't want me to help you with the set up?" She asked.
"No It's fine" he answered" You just get all the graphs pined on that board."
"Ok but can you help me with the arranging?"
"Ok sure."
"Ok well then we'll go to my house after school.
After school the two of them where sitting on the floor of Lizzie's family room arranging the graphs and photo's on the show board.
"I think the pictures should go across" Lizzie said arranging four photos in a strait row.
"Why? Don't you think they'd go better going down? I mean if they go across they take up too much room they just seem superior to everything else and they are not" Paolo cantered and arranging the pictures vertically in the process bumping Lizzie's hand a couple of times which she kept on the board.
"Ok I guess that you are right" Lizzie said and started pinning down the pictures. "OW!" she cried suddenly.
"What?" Paolo asked.
'I poked my finger really hard!" she said fighting tears. Blood streamed freely from the prick.
"Come on" Paolo said taking her hand and puling her to her feat. He walked her into the kitchen. Put your hand under cool water...Where's your medical kit?"
"In the pantry on the second shelf from the top" Lizzie said obeying his order.
"Come on sit down" Paolo said beckoning her to sit at the table with him. He took out a cotton swab and put some disinfecting antibiotic on it.
Matt heard the commotion downstairs and came into the kitchen.
"Ooooh Lizzie and her new boyfriend!"
"Matt get out of here!" Lizzie yelled.
"I'll be watching you" Matt grinned evilly.
"Is that your brother?" Paolo asked with a small smile when Matt left.
"Ugh we're not related ok" Lizzie said taking a bandade from Paolo as he took the cotton swab of her finger.
Paolo laughed softly" You know I think we should tape down those pictures."
"Yea me too" Lizzie smiled meekly as they walked back into the family room.
