I pulled the car into Elizabeth's driveway. The driveway was empty and the lights in the house were off.
"No one's home,"Cameron said.
"Oh, she's here,"I said,"She's probably in her room. Stay here, she's shy."
He nodded and I went up to her front door. Her house was bigger than Cameron's, nearly the size of a mansion. And all she does is sit in her room on her bed, reading books all day. I knocked on the door.
"Go away,"I heard Elizabeth groan loudly.
"Come on out Lizzy,"I shouted,"Time for school."
"I'm not going,"She complained.
"If you don't come out, I will drag you,"I threatened jokingly,"Let's go!"
I heard the front door unlock and open. She stood in the doorway, wearing pajamas and bedhead. She waved to Cameron, who was sitting in the car, waving like an idiot. I sighed and followed her into the house.
"Well,"I said.
"Well...what?"
"Get ready,"I said.
She sighed heavily and ran off to her room. I waited on the couch until she came back, wearing a t-shirt and jean shorts. She doesn't wear make-up, but doesn't really need to. I smiled and pulled her along with me out to the car. I sat back in the driver's seat and Elizabeth hopped in the back. I left the driveway and drove toward Chicago.
"Um..this ISN'T the way to school,"Elizabeth said.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious,"I joked.
We reached the Chicago city limits.
"Where should we go,"I asked.
"Home,"Elizabeth said.
"Sears Tower,"Cameron suggested.
"I haven't been there in like ten years,"I said.
I parked the car at a parking garage and the three of us walked to the sears tower. Cameron stood on the ledge, putting his head against the glass. I did the same, but not Lizzy, who's afraid of heights. Cameron grabbed my hand. In fact, he held my hand as we walked down the sidewalk, Lizzy following us.
"Are we done yet,"Lizzy complained.
"No,"I said,"We're going to Seven Flags."
"Seven Flags,"She asked.
"Yeah,"I said,"It's an amusement park."
"But I thought it was called.."
"Don't say it,"I cut her off,"Copyright."
She nodded in understanding and followed Cameron and I back to the car. I payed the parking charge, grabbed the keys, and we headed to Seven Flags. At the parking lot, I took a wad of money out of my purse and payed the five dollars for parking. We got to park about halfway into the parking lot, so it wasn't too crowded. I put up the hood on the convertible after Lizzy and Cameron got out, then locked the door.
"Where'd you get all that money,"Cameron whispered.
"Ferris,"I said simply.
He smirked and the two followed me to the entrance. I payed the entrance fee for the three of us.
Elizabeth's POV
I snuck away from Jeanie and Cameron and ran toward the cotton candy stand, then realized I didn't have any money. I turned around to ask Jeanie for some, when I slammed into someone and fell to the ground. I looked up and saw a tall boy, about my age, with brown hair, jeans,and a t-shirt. He smiled at me and helped me up.
"Sorry,"He said.
"It's okay,"I said shyly,"I was just..getting some...cotton candy."
"Oh, me too,"He said,"Uh..wanna come with?"
"I don't have money,"I admitted.
"It's fine,"He said,"It's on me."
"Thanks,"I said,"What's your name?"
"Damien,"He said,"You?"
"Elizabeth."
