High school the fountain of youth, the best years of your life, but for Lizzie McGuire it was the exact opposite...
"Lizzie get up now! You're going to be late and I'm not driving you anywhere!" Jo McGuire stood at the foot of her daughter's bed yelling and shaking her awake.
"Okay! I'm up you happy now," Lizzie, yelled back limping off to the bathroom slamming the door behind her.
"No I am not happy and I won't be happy until you get your act together! Do you here me in there," Jo, screamed banging on the door.
"Okay I hear you so now can I get dressed," Lizzie said in defeat to the door.
She slide down to the bottom of the door and cried from the pain she had endured the night before. Her boyfriend Mike went crazy on her again and this time showed no mercy. As usual, 'Joe' as Lizzie called her did not notice. She missed her father so he took Matt to try outs for an all star soccer team.
Don't get me wrong she hated Matt and he hated her more. At school, her lied to everyone and said that they had given her up for adoption. Mean huh?
Soon she heard footsteps lead away from the door, and with that, she sighed in relief and continued to get dress.
Lizzie decided on an outfit, which was some boot cut army fatigue pants, a black long sleeve shirt with army on it, and some black Chucks. Her hair was pulled into a ponytail with a few loose strands at the sides of her face.
She limped down the steps hearing Joe in the kitchen she snuck out the door successfully without a sound. She glanced at her watched and ran to the bus stop. When she got there all eyes fell on her in disgust. Lizzie walked over to the bench and sat down.
"Well lookie what the cat drag in," a voice called in from the back belonging to David Gordon.
Next to him was his collaborator in crime Miranda Sanchez who whispered something to David then they slapped hands.
"Gosh it's hot out don't you agree David," she said nudging him in the stomach.
"Sure is! Speaking of hot what's up the layers Dog Breath I mean McGuire," he said putting his foot right on the bench leaning inches away from her face.
"Probably hiding the fact that her loser boyfriend is using her for a punching bag," Miranda yelled while everyone laughed.
Lizzie shot up in tears and ran for the bus that had just pulled up. Then bus of the blue someone tripped her and she fell in mud. She looked up to see Ethan Craft standing above her then he spat at her feet. She gathered her books and entered the bus in complete humiliation.
As the other kids mocked her cries and throw things at her all the way to school, Lizzie tried to clean off her shirt with tissues. To top it off Miranda was the ringleader of it all.
They finally arrived at school and everyone piled out the bus but the driver held Miranda back for a little one - on - one.
"Why you so mean to that girl? I remember when you girls use to be friends...," she said staring at Miranda handing he a three-day expulsion from the morning bus.
"Whatever," Miranda huffed in response, snatched the paper, and got off the bus.
She walked swiftly toward the school while acknowledging everyone. Over the course of high school, she and Gordo had become two of the most popular people in school, therefore, leaving her in the dust.
'Thanks to that loser bitch McGuire...I have no ride home. I hate her!' Miranda thought as she stalked to the door but then stopped seeing something out the corner of her eye. She hid behind the bushes watching Lizzie getting beat on helplessly by he boyfriend Mike.
"Who do you think you are? When I tell you to do something...you do it right then! If you ever defy my authority again I'll kill you!" he said grabbing her by the back of the head, smacking her, and then shoved her to the ground.
Then like clock work the school bell rung signaling everyone to go to class. Mike yelled at her some more with his gang egging him on from behind. He kicked her in the stomach then he slapped hands with his friends and moved on to class. The Parker Mackenzie helped the crimpled girl off the ground and into the school.
Miranda was in a daze because she had never seen Mike hit Lizzie. She had heard plenty of rumors about their 'relationship', but as far as seeing anything, it was all talk...until now. Gathering her emotion, she got up and went inside.
"Miranda baby you look like you've seen a ghost?" Kate said trying to comfort the pale girl who had just walked into first period.
"Nothing I fine just a little shaken up that's all," She said sitting down as her boyfriend Danny Kessler, Ethan Craft, Claire Barnes, David Gordon, Kate Sanders, and Larry Tudgeman surrounded her. Then Mike walked in the door, winked at Miranda, and blew her a kiss. In return, she gave him the finger and Danny started to go over to him with the boys trailing behind him, until Miranda stopped over to him.
Soon everyone took their seats and waited for class to begin.
LUNCH
All the seniors get to sit outside or in the Senior Cafeteria, but since it was nice out they decided to bask in the nature's glory.
Miranda and the gang sat in the shade but she wasn't paying attention to the conversation. Her eyes were locked on Lizzie and Mike, who were whispering sweet nothings in each other's ears.
She scoffed, 'How can she let him hurt her then take him right back.'
"Randy...are...you...in...there?" David whispering to her trying to get her attention.
"Oh yeah...what?"
"What were you saying about the bus?" Claire said eating her sandwich.
"Oh yeah I'm getting expelled off the bus for three days. So I need a ride to school and home."
"Sorry we're riding the bus until Thursday when we receive our reserved parking spaces," Larry said while everyone else nodded in response.
"Well I got mind so I'll be your ride." David said dully as if it were a punishment.
"Cool," she said as Danny pulled her closer and kissed her, "and you can take me out tonight.
David rolled his eyes and glanced at Lizzie he loved from the start, but he couldn't forgive her for what she did.
Lunch was over and no more than two and a half hours left before school was over. Miranda got in David's truck and blasted the air and radio. There was silence for ten minutes until Gordo broke it.
"Are you going to be in the talent show?"
"Yeah. You?"
"No, I'm only going because the ladies will be lost without me."
Miranda laughed. Then the car in front of them swerved, stopped and pulled over to the side of the road. They witnessed Mike drag Lizzie out the car and into the woods...
18 MINUTE'S EARILER
Mike and Lizzie rode in silence except the radio, until she shouted over the radio.
"Mike!"
"What?"
"What would you think if I tried out for the talent show!"
"No!"
"What do you mean no?"
"I'm telling you...no! Now shut up and listen to the music!"
"You can't tell me no, you're not my father! I can make my own choices!"
With that mistake, he pulled over to the side of the road drug her out and into the woods.
He began pounding the mess out of her when...
R-E-V-I-E-W!
