Mia Thermopolis-PRIVATE DIARY!!!!!!! STAY OUT!!!!!!!
November 8th, G&T
This has to end.
I cannot believe what just happened.
I was sitting there innocently at lunch, everything going normally. Everybody was there-Lilly and her boyfriend, Boris Pelkowski, Shameeka and her boyfriend, my boyfriend (unfortunately), Kenny, Tina Hakim-Baba, and the bodyguards, sitting at the end of the table, discussing which was better-pressing weights or chin-ups. Anyway, I was trying to eat my lunch, which was hard with Kenny's arm around my shoulders that he insisted on putting there, like he owned me or something. Well, I wouldn't mind if Michael Moscovitz had his arm around me, or held my hand, or called me his girl, and I really wouldn't mind if he kissed me.
But I digress.
I was eating my lunch when Michael came and sat with us. I couldn't believe it. He always sits with the computer club, but today he sat with us. Normally, I would be ecstatic.
WHY DID HE CHOSE TODAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
AS soon as Michael say down, Kenny started babbling about some computer game, even though Michael seemed completely disinterested. See, this is what bothers me about Kenny. He has no social graces. He doesn't know how to read body languages, or take a freaking hint! Anyway, I kinda squirmed out from under his arm, but luckily, he was too distracted to notice. I looked over at Lilly, who rolled her eyes. She knew that I hated being with Kenny, and she didn't understand why I didn't tell him. She talked my ear off one night about how stupid it was to try to spare everyone else's feelings while making myself miserable. Anyway, pretty soon, when Michael got tired of hearing Kenny talk (which embarrassed me anyway. It's bad when everyone thinks your boyfriend is annoying, especially when the guy you've loved since forever is one of them.) and he goes "That's great, Kenny. Hey, Mia, I was wondering if you wanted to get together after school in the library today, so I can help you study for your Algebra final tomorrow." That statement took me completely by surprise. I was still trying to think of an answer when Kenny answered for me.
"No! She doesn't need to study with you!" he said suddenly. We all looked at him, shocked, for a moment, not quite knowing what to do. Kenny turned to me. "I mean, I can help you, right honey bunch?"
Okay, let's just stop right here for a moment.
HONEYBUNCH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
He has NEVER called me that before! Why would he choose then, in front of everybody?! You should've seen their reactions!! Tina, Shameeka, and her boyfriend had their mouths dropped open, and then started trying to cover up their laughter. Boris was laughing at me-geeky, food-in-his- braces, tucking-in-his-shirt Boris Pelkowski was laughing at ME. Lilly was shaking her head in disbelief. Lars was giving me his usual stony look, but he was perched on the edge of his seat, like if I gave him the signal he'd "remove of" Kenny. Which I considered, seeing how he had called me this in front of the one and only love of my life, Michael Moscovitz.
Who, by the way, had a look of pure disgust on his face. It made me realize that he really does think of me as his annoying kid sister's friend, and the thought of anyone liking me disgusts him.
Anyway, right after he said that, I grabbed my bag and left the cafeteria. I heard him following me, so I weaved in and out of people, and it worked. I lost him.
So now, here I am.sitting in the corner of the classroom. Boris is in the closet, Michael is working on Crackhead, his Web 'zine. everything is normal. Luckily, no one has bothered me. I think they realize how completely mortifying it was for me. Even Lilly backed off.
THIS MUST END.
Uh-oh. Michael's walking this way. I gotta go.
TO DO:
Pay more attention to Fat Louie, seeing as how I found a half-eaten sock in my room this morning.
Throw away Mom's "secret stash"-underneath the floorboards in her bedroom.
Stop writing about how wonderful Michael Moscovitz is while I'm at school.
Stop thinking about Michael Moscovitz.
BREAK UP WITH KENNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael Moscovitz-Online Diary
November 8th
Yes, yes, I have a diary. I am a senior guy and I have a diary. It's an online diary, yes, but still a diary. Luckily, it doesn't have my real name, so.yeah. No one will ever know that it's me. I hope.
So, yeah, today.today was severely messed up. I sat down at Mia and Lilly's table because I wanted to ask if she needed me to review with her, because I know she has a test tomorrow. And I did ask her. But before she could answer, that ANNOYING guy Kenny butts in, says that he'll help her, and then called her HONEYBUNCH.
Okay, what the hell?
Does he actually call her that? What a dork. I mean, even my grandparents don't call each other that. I think Kenny is a 95-year-old man in disguise. I mean, he was allright.until he started dating Mia. Then he automatically became NOT ALLRIGHT!!!!!!!! You know what the worst part is? He knew that I like her. I don't know how he knew, but he knew. I guess he could tell or something. Which leaves the question.if Kenny, who can't take a hint to save his life, knew, then why can't Mia figure it out? Anyway, he knew that I like her, and he asked her out anyway. That pisses me off. That's why he so quickly rejected my offer for Mia. I guess he thought that something would happen or something. Yeah, right. It hasn't happened for the past 3 years, what makes him think it's gonna happen one night studying at the library? Not the most romantic scene ever.
So anyway, after lunch, in G&T, I decided to go over to Mia and ask her what was up in person. Here's the convo:
Me: Hey, Mia.
She kind of hid behind her notebook.
Mia: Please don't come over here to make fun of me. That's the last thing I need.
Me: I didn't come over here to make fun of you. I wouldn't do that.
She put her book down and looked at me suspiciously. I gulped, hoping I hadn't blown my cover.
Me: I mean, you've had enough embarrassment for one day. Anyone who teases you is heartless.
Mia: I just want to say for the record that he has never, ever called me that before. Ever. I do not know what possessed him to do that.
That made me relieved. I didn't know how Mia could stand it if he called her that all the time.
Me: Kenny can be.weird sometimes.
Mia: Tell me about it.
She paused.
Mia: I'm breaking up with him.
Me: Really?
I tried not to sound to eager, but I don't think I succeeded.
Mia: Yes. I've wanted to for a long time, but I haven't had the guts.
Me: Just do it quick, like ripping off a Band-Aid. I think he'll understand after what happened today.
Mia: *groaning* I just want to forget today.
Me: Well, you never got to answer my question. Do you want to review after school today?
Mia: Actually, yes. Kenny has tried to help me before, but he always ends up yelling at me for doing stuff wrong.
The bell rang to end class.
Me: Allright, then I'll meet you in the library after school.
Mia: Okay, see you then.
And that was it. So I helped her after school today. We didn't talk about Kenny, just about algebra. But she did say that I was a much better teacher than Kenny-that I was much more patient and nice.
That's a compliment, right?
Well, it's something.
