Eliza

ItsMeEliza: True. Hey it's getting late I think I'm going to head to bed. Goodnight Liz :)

LizBeHonest: I didn't realize that it was already midnight. I need to go to bed too! Night Eliza. Sweet dreams :)

I walked over to my closet and changed into pjs. Then walked over to my bed and hopped in. It was weird but I fell asleep with a smile on my face. I made a friend. A real friend. I think I could get used to this.

*****************

I woke up the next day realizing I hadn't been woken up by either my mom or Kendra. After stretching I rolled over in bed to see it was 9:20. I jumped out of bed realizing I was late for school. I threw on a flowered skirt and a black top then ran downstairs.

"Good morning Eliza." Kendra greeted me.

"Kendra why didn't you wake me up?! I'm late for school." I yelled running grab something quick to eat.

"Calm down." She laughed. "You have a doctors appointment this morning. I was actually just going upstairs to get you up. Why don't you go take your time and get dressed and we will go. Okay?"

"Okay." I said as I went back upstairs to do my hair and makeup. After taking a good 15mins to get ready I made my way back downstairs.

"I called Ben. He will be here to pick you up in two minutes." Kendra told me while folding clothes.

"Thanks Kendra." I said as I walked over to give her a hug goodbye. I walked outside to see that Ben was already waiting for me. "Good morning Ben." I said as I got in the limo.

"To the office of secretes?" He asked.

"On the journey of no return." I joked. We had this joke together because I never knew why I went to these appointments and why they took so long. So to lighten the mood, Ben always joked around with me before we arrived there.

"Here we are at the palace of dark walls and annoying questions." Ben joked.

"Thanks for the ride. I'll text you when I need picked up." I told him while stepping out of the limo.

"Ok. See you soon." He smiled at me. "And good luck!"

"Thanks!" I said as he started to drive away. I walked into the building to see that the only person in the was the receptionist, Lisa.

"Hi Eliza." She said as I walked through the doors.

"Hi Lisa." I said.

"The doctor is waiting for you in room 17." She told me. "Same place as usual. You can make your way back there."

"Thanks." I smiled at her as I walked through the door that said 'doctors only'. She always let me go back there myself. The doctors expected me too. I mean I've only been there a thousand times since as far back as I can remember. So down the hall I went to this small room consisting of one desk and two chairs. The doctor was already sitting in the chair waiting for me so I sat in the chair across from him.

"Hi Eliza nice to see you again." He greeted me.

"You too." I said as we shook hands.

"You're so much nicer than your sis-"

"My who?" I asked confused. "I don't have a sister."

"Oh yes. Sorry. I had you confused with another patient." There was a short awkward pause like he wasn't talking me something. "Shall we get started?"

"Uh sure. What are we doing this time?" I asked trying to erase the awkwardness between us.

"Just some simple questions." He clicked his pen ready to write. "How are you Eliza?"

"I'm good." I answered with a smile.

"That's good." He said while writing something down. "How is school going?"

"Its fine. All my classes are very interesting." I answered.

"Is that so?." More writing. "What is your favorite class?"

"Probably biology. I find it extremely interesting to learn about things that go on in our bodies every day." I told him.

"How cool." Still writing. "Do you have a lot of friends at school?"

"You could say I do. I have two uh close friends and I have a lot of people that want to be my friend." I paused. "I'm sorry that sounded very conceded and I'm not like that. Its just kind of how it is ."

"Ok." He laughed. "Next question: what hobbies do you have?"

"I like to read, shop, cheerlead, and like every other teen I spend a lot of time online." I answered

"What do you do online?" He asked.

"I look up books but mainly look on my favorite authors website, Jack Johnson .com. Oh and I watch YouTube like a lot." I answered

"Ok. Next question." He said as he flipped over to a clean sheet in his notebook.

This went on for another 2 hours of sitting there and answering questions. To me it seems so pointless but he keeps telling me that this is going to help the research. Which I don't even know what they are researching.

I walked outside to see that Ben was already there waiting for me. He opened the door for me and I stepped inside. He took me home and immediately I went upstairs to my room. I went on YouTube and watched some videos then went to see if LizBeHonest was online. Of course she wasnt so I went back to YouTube videos.
