She walked in today and had a large man next to her. Ever since she had discovered she was princess Mia has had a security man follow her around but usually it was Lars. Lars and I had become friends as he is at our house regularly. Not for me unfortunately but for Lilly.
When I saw Mia I was as nervous as I had always been whenever I even think about her. She makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and I love that about her. Now some may say I'm obsessed but I'm not. It's just a simple fact that she drives me nuts in ways many people wouldn't like to know about… at least people who aren't perverted.
She makes me feel nice and as near perfection as I can get. I went up to her with my hands shoved in my pockets as an attempt to keep them from sweating as badly as they wanted to and also to hide the shivering that was occurring.
"Hey, Thermopolis," I said as coolly as I could muster even though my heart was pounding. "I saw you were having some trouble with Algebra. I was wondering if I could help you."
"Oh my god, Michael, you are a life saver," she said looking up at me. "If you have time," she added.
"Of course I do," I replied pulling up a chair and stared to evaluate her work.
So here's a little about what I am trying to do: I'm trying to write a song. I can't quit get it. I have been working so hard so I decided to write a journal and maybe something will come to me. Maybe.
Later that night…
Some people think that all Lilly and I do is fight but that's not true. When she walked in and looked as if she had a shitty day I broke into Dad's liquor cabinet and stole some Stoli.
I walked in Lilly's room and sat on her bed shoving the bottle in her hands.
"What's this for?"
"Its medicine it cures everything except a hang over. Now I don't want to know why you're mad but just drink it out."
After about 30 minutes of passing the drink around Lilly started a conversation, "Boris and I broke up today."
"Again?" I asked seeing as I was the one they ran to even though no one else would know they would break up seeing as how they'd get back together. I mean Mia didn't' even know.
"Yeah, but I think it's over for good now and a day before Star Wars." What she meant by that was a little gathering of friends to watch a couple movies tomorrow. Most of which would be Star Wars or James Bond. It was sort of a tradition for me. I had started it out when I was a freshman four years ago. Lilly just started inviting people over this year as I'm passing the tradition down to her. Of course when I had started the tradition I was popular and Josh was my best friend. But of course I was more popular than him and he got jealous and so I just started ignoring him. And then I saw that I didn't want to be popular because I didn't like what everyone else liked and I didn't value what they valued.
I looked at her and took the bottle from her. I took a nice long swig and then I retreated to my room taking the bottle with me. I knew Mia would be coming over soon and I didn't want her to think that Lilly had been bad. See I do care about Lilly.
I sat looking at the stars and then feel asleep. Of course I thought of Mia. I dreamed of Mia too. I just wanted to hold Mia.
