The morning has just started...but Eliza is NOT feeling it. She thinks, "Omg I cannot believe that school is back open already!!!! At a time like this??? I mean its not like I could do much when there was no school for the summer (thanks step-mom and step-dad) but STILL! No school is better than school!" As she gets out of bed, she makes a decision: "Well guess who is NOT going to school this morning? Me! My parents have to leave for work before I go to school anyway so they'll never know! I'm so bad!" Feeling energized and newly excited about the day, Eliza goes through her closet, still thinking: "I wonder what I'm going to do? Probably go to the mall or something...there's not a lot of things to do in this lame town but all of them are better than going to school!" Little does Eliza know...her step-brother's best friend Branden is on his way to their house to grab something really important...and Branden's always thought Eliza was REALLY cute....
