"What's with Lizzie

"What's with Lizzie?" asked Edwin.

"If you ask me I think Lizzie's going crazy!!" said Marty.

"Lizzie is not going crazy, she's just had kind of a rough day," said Nora.

"Mom, I'll go up and talk to her…again." said Casey.

Casey went upstairs and knocked on Lizzie's door. "Leave me alone!!" said Lizzie.

Casey ignored and opened the door and walked in the room. "You don't listen very well."

"What was that about downstairs? I told you to act normal, well you did the exact oppositie!"

"Casey, Derek was going to tell!"

"No he wasn't!"

"Then what was he going to say?"

"Something like 'especially since it was so last minute'."

"So in other words I completely overreacted and made a full of myself for no reason?"

"To put it bluntly, yes."

"Great, just great!" Lizzie said as she started to cry.

"Lizzie, I hate to say it but you're the one who's making a big deal about this whole issue. I mean if you would've just come downstairs for dinner when Mom called us and acted normal, no one would've thought anything had happened. But instead you don't come down for dinner and I practically had to drag to dinner. Then once you finally come down to dinner, you stare at your plate and barely eat a thing. Then top to it all off when you got worried that Derek was going to say something you freaked out and ran upstairs! Like I said you can only blame yourself for making it awkward!"

"Casey!!"

"Liz, I'm sorry, I probably could've said that in a much nicer way. My whole point is though you needed to act like everything was fine, because in reality it is. Anyways, in opinion lets drop this subject and why don't you come back down to dinner.

"Actually, I think I'm just going to stay up here, at least for now. I'm afraid I go back down I'll end up embarrassing myself even more."

"Liz, you can't stay up here and avoid everyone forever."

"I know, I'll be down later and I'll try to act normal."

"Okay, I'm going to head back down and finish eating if that's okay with you."

"Yeah, that's fine."
