Chapter 9
Eliza's POV
"Alex, who was it?" Asked Eliza, stepping away from the piano.
"Phillip's mom. It was strange. She said something like 'GO! Go!' And then hang up... I don't really know." Alex said. Just then, the phone rang again. "It's her!" Alex said, picking up the ringing phone. "Hello? Yes. Oh, it's fine! Yes, he's behaving. Mhmm. Yes. Okay. Bye!" He hung up the phone. "Turns out she butt-dialed the house, and the 'Go! Go!' was her yelling at a slow car. She also said to put Philip down for a nap."
"Will do!" Said Eliza, picking up Phillip. She brought him to his room, and then after some persuading and a story, she got him to stay in bed. Eliza went back downstairs and sat down on he couch next to Alex.
Alex looked down at his girlfriend's hand, and slowly, inched his hand until it touched hers. She grabbed Alex's hand without even looking away from the TV, but Alex saw her shy smile. He blushed. They held hands until Phillip's mom came home. And Alex walked Eliza home.
Peggy's POV:
"Would you shut up for once about Alex?" Peggy said, slapping Eliza's arm as she mooned on and on about Alex holding her hand.
"Margarita!" Eliza said, scowling at her sister. Peggy fumed. She hated when people called her by her real name.
"Someone needs to take a chill pill!" Said Angie, glaring at Peggy.
"And that someone is Elizabeth. And it wouldn't hurt for you to shut up either, Angelica!" Peggy shouted, stomping off.
Peggy stormed into her room and picked up her rose gold IPhone 7. She dialed the only person she could think of.
"Hello?" Said Maria.
"Hey Maria. It's Peggy. I need a favor. Is Alex disgusting to you? Or could you bear to kiss him?"
"I wouldn't mind if we kissed. I just couldn't let my boyfriend find out." Said Maria.
"Good. What I'll need you to do, is lure Alex in, and get him to kiss you. Then act like you don't want him to tell Eliza, but somehow manipulate it so he does tell her. That'll teach Eliza to not brag. Alex is all she talks about. She does it to annoy me, and she knows Angie likes him. So she rubs it in her face."
"Rude. And yes, I'll do your plan. I'll even do it for free." Said Maria.
"Thank you so much. Bye." Said Peggy hanging up the phone. She started to feel a bit guilty, but wasn't this the right thing to do? Eliza might not realize it, but she is hurting others. Oh well, it was too late now. Maria was going to kiss Alex at debate club.
