A Summer of Changes
Chapter 1: Getting Ready
"Lizzie!" exclaimed 12 year old Matt McGuire, as he pounded on the bathroom door. "We're leaving in 10 minutes. Do you think I could maybe get in my own bathroom to brush my teeth?"
15 year old Lizzie rolled her eyes as she finished brushing her hair. It wasn't her fault that her impatient younger brother waited until the last minute to do everything! "I'll be out in a minute, dorkface." She yelled.
Right at that moment, Jo McGuire happened to pass through the hallway on her way downstairs. "Lizzie, don't call your brother a dorkface." She scolded. "And you need to let Matt brush his teeth, or we'll be late picking up the Gordons!"
"Fine." She retorted, as she exited the bathroom. "It's all yours."
"Finally!" Matt remarked, as Lizzie walked down the hall to her bedroom.
"Let's see," she said to herself, as she examined the suitcases on her bed. "I've got my clothes, my make up, my carry-on, and my purse. All set!" She grabbed her suitcases, slung her backpack on her shoulder, and carried it all downstairs.
"Got all your stuff?" asked Lizzie's father, Sam McGuire, who was loading everything into the van that was taking them to the airport.
"I think so." Remarked Lizzie.
"I hope so!" exclaimed Matt, who was coming down the stairs with his one suitcase. "Lizzie, we're only going to New Hampshire for 2 weeks. You've got enough stuff for 6 months!"
"Well, some of us like to wear clean clothes everyday, rather than sporting the same outfit the whole time!" Lizzie replied.
"Kids, knock it off." Pleaded Sam. "I'm not listening to this the whole trip!"
"Dad, it's not my fault the little weasel doesn't know when to shut up!" exclaimed Lizzie.
"Who are you calling a weasel?" asked Matt, defensively.
"I mean it!" exclaimed Sam, with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Fine." Said both Lizzie and Matt.
"Ok kids, are you ready?" asked Jo, as she slung her purse over her shoulder.
"Yep!" replied Lizzie happily. She couldn't wait to get to Lake Winnepesauke, where they would be spending the next two weeks.
"Yeah." Replied Matt. "I'm just going to call Lanny and tell him we're on our way." After much pleading, and complaining that Lizzie had a friend going on the trip, Sam and Jo had allowed Matt to take Lanny with them. Lizzie was thrilled about this decision. Matt would be occupied and out of her hair the whole time, and Lanny never even spoke! As long as they left her shoes alone, she was fine with it.
"Ok!" exclaimed Jo, "Let's go!"
With that, the McGuire family got into the van and headed towards the Gordons' house, excited about the next two weeks!
TBC!
Tell me what you thought! Review!
