The Princess' daughter
11.16pm my bedroom
My. Life. Sucks. Do you want to know why my life sucks? Well, for one my enitials are F.M. when EVERYONE else in my house have M.M as theirs. So my idiot big brother Malcom is always teasing me. And dad thinks its funny that my mom wanted to call me Flick and she wouldn't let my dad call me Mel or something instead.
Another reason as to why my life sucks is because every holiday I have to go down to Genovia and have 'princess lessons' with great-grandmere, who can't come to new york because she's old and she can't leave Genovia. Mom says I should appreciate the time I have with her because she'll be gone in the next 2 years.
Another reason as to why my life sucks is because almost EVERYONE wanted to be my lab partner this semester but I could only have one so, for once, I picked my best friend Flo. And now Steph isn't talking to me.
And the fourth and final reason as to why my life sucks is because my boyfriend, Rufus, dumped me. ME Flick Moscovitz! On our 100th date he just said "Err I don't think this is working out so... we're over,"asked for his promise ring back and walked away. FROM ME! I cried for like the whole night over this guy. And now Steph and Rufus have this 'Hating on Flick M' club where they sit at another lunch table and start laughing about me behind my back. Not that I care.
So, yeah story of my suckish life. Thank you.
The limo on the way to school 7.18am
Picked up Flo on the way. She was comforting me about Rufus and all. She was saying some stuff about there little club but I wasn't really listning. I was listning to some music on my ipod.
"Flick. Flick! Felicity!" Flo was shaking me vigourously. I must have dozed off.
"What?!" I said tugging my earpeice out of my ears. I love Flo but sometimes she SERIOUSLY annoys me. Almost as much as my little sister Monica.
"I was just saying I'm sure you'll get over him I mean there are loads of other guys out there, you know, and I'm not so sure he was the right one for you," She said.
"Whatevs Flo, look I'm over him Okay," I said smiling. We've just arrived at school so I'll write later.
Homeroom 8.15am
Okay so when I sat down in homeroom some new kid sat next me. He had wavy, blonde, hair and bright, blue eyes. He had on a white button down shirt and a pair of well fitting jeans. Ever since they abolished the stupid uniform at AEHS people have started looking a whole lot better. He turned and caught my eye. He smiled at me for a second then turned to the front.
He answered his name, John-Paul Reynolds-Abernathy 5 (J.P. for short). Flo just flicked me a note.
Cute isn't he
Who?
J.P.! Totally hot. What do you rank him?
1000000 out of 10. You?
1 reaccuring
Totally. G2G Hostler's breathing down my neck. See ya later!
Chemistry 9.04am
Seriously, DOUBLE CHEMISTRY FIRST PERIOD!! ON A MONDAY MORNING! What are they TRYING to make a new 'beaker boy' incident? My mum never did get over the shock of that. I mean before you know it some stupid kid (Stanley Johnson) falls asleep in a very complicated experiment and then BOOM! We're all dead thanks to blubber boy and our stupid headmaster, Mr French.
So anyways the new kid, J.P. is now in a three with me and Flo!!! And he was totally checking me out! I can so tell that Steph is jealous. I mean when I looked at her just now her face was GREEN with envy. I don't get why shes so jealous I mean shes partners with Rufus (sigh) who is AMAZING at Chemistry. Last semester, when Rufus and I were lab partners, we got an A! It's too bad he dumped me because I could so use another A.
Oh god J.P. just flicked me a note!
Hi I haven't properly introduced myself. I'm J.P. Reynolds-Abernethy V. What's your name?
Me? Oh I'm Felicity Renaldo-Moscovitz but you can just call me Flick.
Okay then Flick how on earth did you end up here?
Shouldn't I be asking you that?
Well I want to know how you got here first.
Fine. My parents made me and my older brother come here because this is the exact school that they went to when they fell in love. They think it's, I quote 'magical'.
Funny. Well I'm here because my dad finally reached his goal in life –to become a famous billionaire- and decided to retire early, settling here in New York. He sent me here because he went here too and he had a lot of interesting memories from here.
So you are kinda, sort of, a billionaire!!! SERIOUSLY!!!
Err I guess? You could say that.
Wow another billionaire at AEHS. Cool!
There's another billionaire here? Who?!
Me! My dad is a scientist who specializes in robotic surgery, and my mums a famous author, not to mention a-
CAN YOU TWO QUIT PASSING NOTES AND CONCENTRATE! HOW THE HELL ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET AN A IF WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL WE ARE DOING!
Sorry.
Soz!
Ok I'll pay attention now.
Chemistry 9.20
Whoa too much information. Whateves I'm sure dad will help me tonight when he gets home.
Lunch 12.00
OH MY GIDDY GOOD GOD!!! J.P. asked me out!!! You know as friends but still! Flo says shes totally jealous but in a good way. I can't wait to tell mom!
Okay so picture this.I've just come out of the jetline with my chicken salad and the whole gang (Flo, Chessie, Todd, Chessie's boyfriend, Sarah and Vanessa) are waiting for me, when I happen to notice J.P. sitting on his own. So I did the princessy thing to do and invited him to sit with us. It turns out he is totally funny and he is into science, math and art. He wants to be an architect when he's older but his dad won't let go to the young architects club after school on Tuesday because he wants him to become a famous playwrite.
Yeah so after lunch J.P. and I snuck out to get a coffee. Thank god I don't have a body guard. Yeah so we were at the cafe up the street when he suddenly said. "Do you wanna go out? I...mean...as...friends, if you'd like?" And he looked so cute with his eyes all pleadingly bright, and his head tilted slightly to the right, and his hair all messy, with his little cowlip staring at me me all adoringly, and his little lips all pouted slightly and...oops I'm babbling aren't I. So anyways he was being all cute so I just couldn't resist so I said yes and were on for this Friday.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Uh oh thats the bell. More later.
The loft 6.00pm
I'm on cloud nine! I've been all floaty ever since J.P. asked me out. Max, (my freakish 11 year old sister) noticed and was all "What's up with you, finally get away from that bub, Rufus Love?" And she went off sniggering. Sometimes I hate her but I know that I could never hate her really. Then at dinner she told everyone at the dinner table! THIS MEANS THAT MALCOLM WILL TELL EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE FREAKING SCHOOL, MY LIFE WILL BE RUINED! But I didn't care at the time I was too happy.
Damn mom must have figured it out because now shes knocking at my door. Oh well here goes!
My Bedroom 7.10pm
Argh I hate my stupid parents, especially my stupid mom, I hate my stupid brother and sister, I hate ALL the Reynolds-Abernathys (well not so much J.P.), and I especially hate ALBERT EINSTEIN'S STUPID HIGH SCHOOL.
Would you like to know why? Because my stupid parents won't let me go on a stupid date with stupid J.P. They say it's because of (and I quote) 'past encounters with the Reynolds-Abernathy's'. So basicly there saying they hate Mr R-A, because of what happened when my mom was still at high school.
So my Mom comes into my room and is all "ooo! Thats your 'I-just-got-asked-out-by-a-really-cute-guy' face isn't it? Go on tell me who he is!"
"MOM!" seriously she can be so embarrasing sometimes even when no one is around.
"Come I need to know his name at least. Just in case I need your dad to straighten him out..."
"MOTHER!" why on earth would she need daddy to beat up J.P. I mean he almost had Rufus when he said I was 'smokin' one time. Rufus called the cops and everything! Does she want a repeat of that? Daddy's sales went plumeting down when that got into the news.
"okay his name is J.P. Reynolds-Abernathy V,"I said waiting for the squeal that never came. Instead my moms smile disappeared and I swear she was purple for a second. "Mom? Are-are you okay?" I said, getting no response. For a split second I thought she was dead, but she pulled me up and dragged me to the kitchen. Where daddy was leaning against the counter top on his phone. Mom waved a hand infront of his face. Daddy put his phone to his chest.
"Mia, babes, can't it wait," he whispered.
Mom looked sternly at him "Michael it's urgent!" Daddy was taken aback.
"Err sorry, Dave I have to go. Uh huh. Uh huh. Okay. Ya uh buh-bye. Okay what's up." sighed daddy irritated.
"Guess who Flick's next date is. J.P. V" said mom. She didn't sound so happy, nor did daddy look it. His irritated look was even more irritated (if that is possible). His knuckles were white, his hands were clenched in fists of rage. I could have sworn for a second his eyes popped out of thier sockets.
"You mean his son?" Spat daddy. I've never seen him this angry, not even when Malcolm was 3 and accidentily deleted all of his files on his computer (Daddy had them backed up luckily) and his phone (those too) then stuffed the phone and poor old me in the washing machine.
Or when me and Max used all the paper in his photocopier making photo copies of our butts (we were very young).
Or even when Malcolm first started to drive, and crashed into his office. Why was he so angry now? I mean he'd stopped breathing for Christ'sn sake.
"Daddy?" I said raising my eyebrows.
"You know what Mia? This one is all yours." He said walking away.
Mom sighed. "Flick, you remember me telling you that your father and I dated all the way through high school?," I nodded not knowing where she was going with this. "well that not exactly true. When I was fifteen I was class president," (How could I not know that its engraved in the class president sheild outside homeroom) "And I bankrupt the school. So to help get back the money Grandmere decided to put on a show, about one of my ancestors. She made me audition and cast me the leading role. The male leading role was... was J.P. IV." When she said this I gasped at her. What!? SHE KNEW J.P.'S DAD!? "So, yeah. We became close friends. We were exactly alike, our hair colour, our height, our interests... Anyway, He went out with your aunt lilly for a few months. During which time your father happened to have to go away for a long time.
I thought I could make him stay by sleeping with him. Ha, that plan went bust. He told me that he'd already slept with someone, before we were eeven dating. Our realationship went tumbling after that, and eventually we broke up. J.P. comforted me and took care of me because I was completly torn apart. Partially because I accidently kissed him the day he broke up with Lilly and she made a website about me called .com.
So then I went out with J.P. and he told me things that were not strictly true. So I dumped him, by which time your father had returned. You know the story from there." She had a tear in her eye which she quickly wiped away.
"Unbelievable. Why would you make up such a-a LIE!" Even as I said it my eyes widened in fury.
"Fine then don't believe me!"She yelled and slammed the stalked off, slamming the door.
My Bedroom 11.15pm
I checked out .com and its totally real.
Mom came back and chucked some books at me.
"What are these?" I asked still angry from our little fight.
"The truth,"She said, and left. What was that about? Any ways the books were actually journals from her high school years. I haven't started them yet because I'm tired. I'll probably start tomorrow though.
Well? Chappie 2 out soon!
