Hey everyone I know long time no hear but since I don't think a lot of people even like this story. I'm finding it hard to even update. Any way not going to pester any more about reviews while I would like them not necessary here's chap 9.

Lizzie's thoughts.

"WHAT!?" was the first thing out of Lizzie's mouth when she realized what Darcy had asked her, after about 5 seconds of her mouth hanging open in shock.

"Is there something wrong?" Darcy asked a little nervously.

NO nothing is wrong Lizzie thought with surprise you're an idiot Darcy, just when I'm starting to get along with you go and ask THAT! I mean really I think I've been pretty clear about how I feel. Lizzie was about to tell him no when he opened his mouth.

"I understand that your shocked I asked you, with me being a senior and you're only a freshman, don't worry about any one teasing you. And I do hope that you realize that I am taking a risk with you considering what your sister is doing to Charles." He said in a weird voice.

"Alright listen I could care less about you being a senior and …… WAIT what do you mean about my sister and Charles?" Lizzie shouted the last bit at his face, feeling hers get red. He got and looked down at her.

"Ok don't be stupid I over heard your sister bragging about my friend in the mall last weekend, if I hadn't heard that I wouldn't have believed she's a gold digger but I know what I heard. I did try to warn Charles but the boy is to much in love with her to even listen to a word I had said."

"My sister is not a gold digger." Lizzie said standing up to face him, she was sure her face was red now. "I don't know what you said you heard her say but I am 100 percent positive that she is not a gold digger, you were even friends with her and your saying this." Lizzie yelled in his face.

"I though I was her friend to but after hearing her say that I'm not sure now." He said in a forced calm voice. Lizzie was about ready to yell him some more when she felt her phone buzz in her pocket, and suddenly she remembered something else about him. What he did to George Wickham.

"Fine say your right about Jane in your twisted world what about George Wickham? What about what you did to him?" She spat and backed up when his face changed color in a matter of seconds. Darcy reached out and grabbed her arms, and looked her straight in the eye.

"Where in the world did you meet George Wickham?" Darcy spat the name as if he was disgusted that it ever passed his lips.

"At a party my mother took me and my sisters to, Mr. Wickham works with her, and GEORGE goes to James High." She said taking care to pronounce George's name with extra care. Darcy kept his grip on her arms.

"What did he tell you?"

"I don't see how it's of ……"

"WHAT DID HE TELL YOU ELIZABETH?" Darcy shouted and for a slight moment she was petrified. During there whole argument/debate he had managed to keep his voice calm or a strained calm. She didn't understand why it was such a big deal what George had said to her.

"He said," She started a little shaken up, "That you took away his father's job and career and now they're forced to move around a lot while his dad try's to find a job." (AN: if that's not quite what I said a few chapters back I'm sorry, all of those files are on a different computer and my internet isn't working so deal with it.). She said still upset with Darcy mainly about her sister not so much George.

"HA!" Darcy said with a sarcastic laugh "Leave it to old Wick Head to lie about every thing in that fight." He stopped and turned back to Lizzie "You really shouldn't believe anything he says Elizabeth, he's just a bitter man." Darcy said with a tone that said that's the end of this argument. However Lizzie was far from done.

"Oh yeah! Well why should I believe what YOU say in anything. After all, you're the one who accused my sister when she called you a friend. Well I wasn't fooled, you were against her from day 1, when I heard you tell Charles to not get involved, that looks aren't everything and that he should watch him self. What did you know about Jane? She is the sweetest, kindest person I know and she really likes Charles, so I'm glad he had to good since to ignore you. Plus since we're on the topic of your first day at Meryton lets go back to what you said about when you were talking to Charles. Now what was it.., Oh yes you think I'm a little kid, that's a great way to make a girl feel good." Lizzie got really sarcastic during this last bit. "Now why would YOU, what to ask OUT a KID as you put it. Well I've got better things to worry about then to deal with you. SO in case your wondering my answer is NO. No I will not go out with you. You have been rude and disrespectfully to me and my family and you haven't even met all my family. When you meet my mom then you'll really be glad I didn't take you up on your offer. Plus your so prejudiced did you even think to look at Jane when Charles shows up, because maybe if you did you would see how her face lights up when ever he's by her. Not to mention every thing you've even said about me, you had known me 20 minutes when you decided that I was a kid. And even today you tell me not to get worried about being teased by going out with you, and how you're "taking a risk". What girl wants to hear that? I may be only a freshman but I know that you are the last guy I would ever consider dating." Elizabeth finished her speech red faced and panting. She put a hand on her fore head to try to get rid of the headache that now came over her. GREAT the first time I am ever asked out it is from Will Darcy.

"You've made your point Elizabeth," Darcy told her in a strained angry voice, and Lizzie looked up shocked she thought he had walked off while she was ranting. "You have made yourself quite clear on the subject, so I'm just going to say have a nice day and keep hold of that puppy of yours." With one last look at her he walked right out of the grove.

Lizzie watched him walk and with out knowing felt tears in her eyes. She wiped them away. Why am I crying, I don't even like him, oh gosh I'm such a sap. With that thought she picked up Cadence who had been lying down at her feet and ran back to Mrs. Joanne's house. As soon as she took her shoes off she ran upstairs to her temporary bedroom and turned on her lap top with every intention of e-mailing Jane about every thing that happened. When she opened up her e-mail however she saw that Jane had e-mailed her pictures from Charles and hers date. Lizzie looked at them all and smiled at the comments that Jane had left for her to read. Then suddenly it hit her and she shrunk internet box. She couldn't tell Jane, her and Charles where so happy together. If Jane knew about all this she would know what Darcy said about her, and would take Lizzie's side. But It would cause Jane and Charles to brake up because Charles and Will are best friends or it would be the end of Charles and Will's friendship and she didn't think it would be the latter. A sad smile came to Lizzie's face when she realized she couldn't tell anyone then. She felt her eyes watering again, and hopped into her bed. Cadence jumped up next to her and nudged her with his nose and she rubbed his head. She heard the stairs creaking and Charlotte coming up and shut her eyes so that Char would leave her alone. She didn't feel like talking to any one.

There you go nice and short ,my chapters will probably be shorter because I'm so busy with working and school. So there's chap 9 and I hope you enjoy it.
