Chapter 4-Jealousy & News

It was Sunday morning and Lizzie was outside enjoying the sunny air, she was so happy that she couldn't even sleep in. Her date with Charlie was great, she thought he was so sweet and romantic. When there date ended, Charlie kissed her goodnight and Lizzie didn't mind at all. She felt like she finally got a boyfriend that she connected with. As she was thinking about Charlie she saw someone walking towards the front door but his head was down so she couldn't see his face. His hair was short and it looked like it was spiked up. She got up to see who it was.

Lizzie: "Umm sorry but can I help you?" she asked curiously.

David: "Yeah I'm looking for a Lizzie McGuire." he said looking up at Lizzie with a big smile.

Lizzie: "David! Oh my gosh, you cut your hair! Why?" she asked excitedly.

David: "It was a hassle, I needed a hair cut. Do you like it?"

Lizzie: "Yeah, it's really cute!" she said reaching up to touch his hair.

David: "Thanks, it's good to know you like it."

Lizzie: "Your welcome. So what are you doing here, I thought you said you had to meet Betty?"

David: "Yeah I'm on my way there, I just wanted to show you my haircut and ask about your date with Charlie."

Lizzie: "It was so fun and he was so sweet. It felt like I've known him my whole life. We connect on so many levels." she said excitedly.

David: "Wow it was that great huh. I'm glad you found somebody you connect with." he said sadly.

Lizzie: "Thanks David. You'll fine someone too."

David: "I hope so. Well Liz, I have to go meet Betty. I'll call you later." he said as he walked away.

LATER THAT NIGHT:

Lizzie was talking to Charlie in her room. Then her cell phone rang it was David.

Lizzie: "Hold on real quick Charlie! Hey David!" she said picking up her cell phone.

David: "Hey, what's up? I got some news to tell you"

Lizzie: "Listen David I can't talk right now. I'm on the phone with Charlie. I'll call you later if I have time. Bye!" she said quickly hanging up.

David: "But Lizzie…." he was really jealous now but he didn't want to admit it.

MONDAY MORNING AT DAVID'S LOCKER:

David: "Where's Lizzie?" he asked everyone.

Jamie: "I'm guessing with Charlie."

David: "Great. On another note, I got some exciting news."

Brian: "What is it man?" he asked curiously as his arms was around Erica.

David: "Well when found out we were moving back to Hillridge I wasn't excited so I applied to this program for young directors. There's this boarding school/high school in L.A. They teach you about directing and at the same time you get your high school credits and graduate with a diploma. They don't have much space since the students live there. When I applied I didn't think I would get in but I did! It's a chance of lifetime!" he said excitedly.

Jamie: "No way! Congrats David!" she said as she hugged him.

Erica: "Yeah, way to go!" she said as she hugged him.

Brian: "Congrats man. So are you going?"

David: "I'm not sure, if I go I have to leave at the end of September so I could start on the first school day of October. I don't know if I want to leave, I mean you guys have become my best friends since summer and I don't know if I can go to some other school and start all over again."

Jamie: "What did Lizzie say?"

David: "Well I…."

Lizzie: "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late, I was talking to Charlie at his locker." she said interrupting. him.

David: "Well guys I have to go talk to my teacher before class starts. Bye!" he said as he left.

Lizzie: "Wow he looks like he's in a hurry." she said as he left.

LUNCH:

Lunch time had rolled around and every one was heading to the cafeteria. David, Brian, Erica, and Jamie had gotten there lunch. They were waiting for Lizzie and Lizzie was waiting for Charlie. Charlie whispered something in her ear and she turned to the group.

Lizzie: "Guys I'm going to eat with Charlie today. Sorry you guys had to wait." she said embarrassed.

David: "Yeah whatever Lizzie go hang out with your boyfriend, that's all you have time for these days." he said starting to get angry.

Charlie: "She should hang out with me man. Why don't you butt out."

David: "It's none of your business man so you butt out. She was our friend before she became your girlfriend. She never has anytime to hang out with us because she's with her precious Charlie!"

Lizzie: "David! Stop it!" she yelled angrily.

David: "No Lizzie you stop it! Figure out what you want, your life doesn't always have to revolve around him!" he yelled as he started walk away.

Lizzie: "You know what your just jealous that I have someone and you don't!" she yelled but regretted it ten seconds later.

David: "You know maybe your right!" he said as he threw his lunch tray in the nearest trash can and walked out of the cafeteria steamed.

Lizzie was staring at her other friends shocked by David's outburst.

Jamie: "You know Lizzie, he's right about some things. Come on guys lets go." she said sadly as everyone went after David.

Lizzie: "You guys….." she started to say.

Charlie: "Forget them Lizzie, don't worry they'll get over it. Lets go eat." he said as he dragged along a sad Lizzie.

The rest of the school day went bad for everyone since that outburst at lunch. Lizzie was devastated at some of the things she said to David. During 6th period she had to go to the bathroom. When she got to the bathroom Erica was there.

Lizzie: "Hey Erica, are you mad at me too?"

Erica: "No, just a little disappointed. I think we all are. Lizzie we used to talk on the phone everyday now we barely talk. We really miss you."

Lizzie: "I know I miss you guys too. But I'm still mad at David." she said as she hugged Erica.

Erica: "So then your happy that he got accepted to that school in L.A.?" she asked as they pulled away.

Lizzie: "What? What school?" she asked confused.

Erica: "Oops he didn't tell you did he? Well then I guess you guys have something to talk about now. I have to get back to class, bye Liz. Call us later!" she said quickly leaving the bathroom.

Lizzie: "But I……"

Lizzie didn't understand why David hadn't told her his big news. What Lizzie didn't know was that he was supposed to tell her first but she didn't have time these days.
