Wednesday 14th October at 3:45pm - The Loft

I can't believe I finally convinced my Dad to let me come home early.

I sat in Principal Gupta's office pleading with him just to let me have this half a day to get my head together and eventually I won him over.

I seem to be coming to terms with the fact that my secret is now officially out.

So now the world knows that I am no longer plain old Mia Thermopolis but that I am now Amelia Mignotte Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo, Princess of Genovia!

Not only that but I have like no friends at all.

Tina still seems to like me but even she will probably stop talking to me when she finds out I've been keeping this huge secret from her.

Lily wasn't talking to me anyway due to me telling her to 'shut up' the other day.

I kind of hoped her finding out about me being a princess would make her say something to me, even it was something negative! But no, she is still silent, well toward me anyway.

I tried calling her a few minutes ago (I've been watching the clock so I could call her as soon as she got home) but I got the busy tone.

Maybe I could try IMing her?

Perhaps if I give in and apologise she'll talk to me. I could use a friend right now.

Later - Still The Loft

You will not believe what just happened! Lily was not online but her brother, the completely gorgeous and absolutely perfect, Michael Moscovitz, was, and he wrote the weirdest thing. I have stuck a copy of our conversation here.

FtLouie : Hey Lily, are you online?!

CracKing : No, Thermopolis, I'm online.

FtLouie : Oh, hi Michael. Is your sister around?

CracKing : No she went out with my parents, straight from school. Anyway she still doesn't want to talk to you.

I kind of figured she didn't but hey, it was worth a shot. At least Michael still liked me. In fact he'd seemed quite impressed when I stood up to Lily. That's why his next comment confused me.

CracKing : Right now, I know how she feels!

Before I could ask what he meant, Michael offlined.

What did he mean by that?! He knows how she feels?!

Now Lily not talking to me I can handle, I know we'll work it out eventually but if Michael won't talk to me my life may as well be over. I mean I've loved him, for like, ever and I know he'll probably never feel the same way about me but there is even less chance of that happening if he won't even talk to me!

I am too wound up to do my homework now. I really want to get out of the house but I doubt I'd be allowed without at least an armed escort! Oh well, I'll see what Mom's doing instead.

Even Later - Outside the Moscovitzes Apartment Block

I can't believe I'm here! I am on the steps of the apartment block where Lily and Michael live and I'm totally alone. When I went downstairs, Mom had fallen asleep in front of the TV, so I grabbed my diary, slipped on my Doc Martens and crept out. I didn't even know where I was going! I just had to get out, and now I'm here. I don't even know why! I know Lily's out with her parents. I guess, if I'm honest, I'm curious. What is Michael's problem? It's not like I have to tell him everything. I'm pretty sure he doesn't tell me everything about his life.

For once I am determined not to be afraid of confrontation. I am going to go up there and ask him what he meant. If nothing else, it means he has to talk to me and, hey, maybe he won't have a shirt on! No, focus. I am going to go and confront him about what he said. I can do it, I'm the Princess of Genovia, I can do anything, right?

A/N : Want to know what she does? Then write good reviews so I know I'm doing good!
