Chapter 5: glasses (and a girls night out, sort of)

This is boy who chased Lizzie^^ I remind you, these characters are 14 to 15, the boy up there is fifteen.
     Now things had changed form there. Isabella got her boyfriend Jayden and unlike all the other girl, Lizzie doesn't have a boyfriend. Why would she want one, boys are annoying and most aren't her type.
It was early, Jennifer and Corey weren't up yet (which was great.)
She slipped into this:

Since it was Friday the Crestwood kids were allowed to wear whatever they wanted. Knowing after school she meet up with her girlfriends at the bowling alley, she slipped on red sneakers and her famous red bow. Everyone at school knew her for her innocent red bow. French tip on her finger nails, she applied Gold Bond to her shoulders out of the tester tube. After that she threw her hair into a messy bun, strings of brown and blond hair framed her face. Smiling, she walked out of her room, grabbing her backpack on the way. "Oh my glasses!" She said happily running back into her room to grab her nerdy glasses with her prescription. Some how the sleep helped, it made everything better, maybe not her scabbed arm, but her attitude. She put a bandaid over it once she was in the kitchen. While flipping some eggs on the stove, Jennifer came down stairs.
Taking Lizzie's plate of scrambled eggs, toast, and yogurt she walked back up stairs. "Well," she said under her breath. Making herself another plate and eating it, she packed her school bag. Running out the door she smiled brightly, today was gonna be a good day.
     Over the years as she said things had changed, Kennedi lost her British accent and Dante and Jayden joined the group, Lizzie's parents died, etc, etc. Today Lizzie was early. She sat waiting for school to start. Her friends who got to school early, worked on future homework and played games on there phones. When school began everyone was amazed to see Lizzie sit down in her desk and take out the homework.
      But the most surprising thing was when Principal Westman escorted someone into room 408. "Good morning everyone, this is your new peer, Jayson."
"I prefer if you call me J, it sounds better," he said.
"Chose your seat Jayson," Mrs. Kimberly said, and of course he chose the desk behind Lizzie not noticing. Jayson wore athletic Shorts and a Star Wars t shirt with the shoulders cut off. He wore big nerd glasses and a flat bill with the Superman insignia. Lizzie turned around while he was coming in just to see a glimpse and straitened up in her seat. It was him! The boy who chased me! She yelled in her head Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! She started to read her book, take off her head band and glasses (a habit really) she looked around the room, avoiding the boy, but just her luck she sat behind her.
"Um, Jayson, even though we have a strict dress code here. Like we are not supposed to show our shoulders or cleavage, girls, but because it is Friday we will let anything pass, but there is one thing we do not allow, even on Friday, is wear hats in class," Mrs Kimberley said. He gave her a smirk and took it off, but palaces it on Lizzie's head backwards, with a loud smush. it had crashed down on her bun. Bobby pins stuck into her skull. The class could see the pain in her eyes.
"It's not on me, now is it Mrs K" he smiled, a smirky bad smile. Lizzie turned around, looking at him with wide eyes like a deer in the headlights, with a hint of anger.
"Sorry if that hurt," he whispered with a smirk, winking. He took back his cap and put it back on his chair. He took his feet and propped them up on the other desk.
"Hey Pretty Girl! Can you pass me a pencil, I forgot mine at home," he said smirking.
"Uh, ok, I guess," Elizabeth said taking out one of her worn down, chewed up pencils. The eraser was done with and it was dull.
"Sorry," Lizzie said quietly "it's a little worn."
"Dang, no kidding!" He replied, Mrs Kimberley started teaching again, through out the lesson giving him dirty looks.
------------------------------------------- Finally the day had ended and the night had just begun...
"Glow in he dark bowling! Here we come!" Faith said, she had been wearing a cut off white t-shirt and jeans. The ends of the shirt was braided. All of the girls faces were painted with glow in the dark paint. She had arrows painted across her face.
"Yay!" Tracie said. Her parents finally let her spend a night with the girls. Her hair was in a bun, hearts were painted across her face, panic at the disco was painted in them. She wore a white shirt and shorty short shorts.
Lizzie was holding KK's hand and they were both wearing white shoulder showing t shirts, they put hand prints on their faces and heavy makeup like all the other girls. The girls that were there were Tracie, Isabella, Rachel, Kk, K, and Lizzie. They were so excited for tonight.
      "I can't believe Arnold put a roller skating rink in!" Lizzie said
       "That's why I brought extra money," K replied.
     "I'm so excited. Arnold FINALLY bought the surround sound music system I was talking about!" Rachel said. Isabella just walked nodding her head. The gang was going to "Players" a bowling alley, tonight they were having a big glow in the dark party. They opened the doors of Player's, since you could watch the sunset, the party hadn't begun.
"Hey girls," Arnold said. His hair was slicked back and he wore a neon "players" T-shirt.
       "Hey..." They all said in unison, coming over to hug him.
       "It's already crowded," Lizzie said, players was packed everyone wanted to come and bowl tonight.
       "So can we get some shoes and start?" Kay said.
       "Sure right this way," he pulled them towards the desk. They each gave him a 5 for the shoes and K and Lizzie payed a 10 for the roller rink. He put  bands around there wrist and they headed for there place in the alley lane.
"Hey Sis!" Someone said, it was Brody.
"Hey!" All the girls said. All of them came over to give him a hug. He was K's stepbrother. K stood up and gave him a kiss on the cheek so did Lizzie. He was an old friend, Lizzie had known him since kindergarten and when Kay came in 2nd grade, Brody's and Kennedy's parents met newly divorced.
        "So what up with you?" Isabella asked, leaning back in her chair. He had dust on his forehead and cheeks. He was also in his baseball jersey.
        "I just came from practice, I'm with a couple of friends from school," he replied. Of course everyone was here.
       "Invite them over," KK said. Brody's face brightened, all the girls nodded. Lizzie smiled, she looked over at the group of boys. Her gaze landing on Jayson.
       "No! No! No!" She started to yell getting under the table. K kissed his cheek again and started to laugh.
       "Brody! My man getting kissed by every girl tonight," jay said
       "She's my sister," he replied giving him a glare.
       "Step-sister," Isaac said and K ran up to give him a peck on the lips and a hug.
       "Who's that under the table?" Jayden asked. Lizzie poked her head out and fake smiled. He fake smiled back and went around the chairs to give Isabella a kiss on the cheek and fist bump Rachel. Lizzie became quiet, Jayson was staring at her chest.
        "Let's go to the bathroom," K said jumping up, pulling Liz. She swore she saw Jayson look at her butt. Away they went and when they came back, makeup reapplied and face paints darker, nachos were on the table.
       "I have a deal, Klutz, Liz, KK, K, Rach, Faith, and Trace," Jayden began, he looked at the boys and back at the girls, "that we can win in a game of bowling."
        "Challenge excepted, Morris," he hated that nick name Isabella gave him.  They all shook on it and began playing. Lizzie kept nocking the pins down, Jayden nearly fell on his face every time, Isabella shoved her face full of nachos, Rachel danced and sang along with Tracie. Everything was going well till Jayson said something, all of the boys laughed it off but Brody and the girls stared at him like he had murdered each and every one of them.
        "What it was just a joke," he smiled towards the crowd.
        "Yeah a joke," Lizzie murmured, under her breath, "it was great guys, I'm gonna head home." All of them saw Lizzie put her head down and walk towards the exit. KK and K ran towards her but when the night begun and lights were turned off so she disappeared in the crowd. Everything seemed to glow, but as Liz walked away, tears streaming down her face. She remember her mom smiling and her dad rolling his eyes.
        "Don't cry baby, mommy and daddy will be here. Always." Promise forgot.
Inside players:
      "What is wrong with you!" Brody said.
      "Nothing it was just a joke," he replied.
      "How much do you know Lizzie?" Brody said getting closer. His jersey glowed and his ball cap did too. Jayson looked like he had been hit by something staring into Brody's baby blue eyes. "Her parents died In a car accident when she was seven, she was thrown into the foster agency, the Sterlings adopted her, then they gave her back, now Jennifer owns her and she is living in hell! Think twice before you say a 'joke'" he yelled. Standing there Jay put down his ball, slipped on his jacket and headed out. Lizzie was walking, taking off his glasses for a second, of course he didn't notice her and BAM! Nocked her over.
       "I'm sorry, I...I can't see without my glasses," he said putting them back on. Lizzie looked at him with utter disbelief. That's why he didn't recognize her!
        "No it's alright," she replied
       "I didn't know it was you and sorry, about that yoke," he said with a smile, she shivered and he started to take off his jacket.
       "Here, give it to me on Monday, and maybe we can be friends. I haven't had a lot of friends since I moved here from Washington State." He said, she nodded and turned around.
        "Maybe," she said blushing, "just maybe" she smiled and walked home.
