Chapter 1
10/4
Today was not fun.
Mia slammed the door in my face, and then Michael defends her.
"She cut off all of her hair, died it blond, got fake fingernails, and wears shoes that aren't her Doc Martens or combat boots. Michael, she's acting really weird!"
"Yeah, but maybe you should get off of her back. It's her life, you know."
"Yeah, I guess, but--" I said, massaging my head. I had an excruciating headache.
"Lilly?"
"What, Michael?"
"Be nice to her. I think she's having a hard time."
"Just because SHE's having a hard time gives her no write to be mean to me."
"I think you might have it mixed up, Lilly. Last time I saw, she was just standing up for herself."
"Michael, you don't understand. Please just leave me alone."
I had been best friends with Mia Thermopolis since kindergarten. It was basic knowledge to both of us that we were very different. Mia's more of a follower, and I'm more of a leader. I have my own television show and I like to be active. She, on the other hand, would be content to work for me, and isn't very opinionated except about vegetarianism, which I totally don't get.
But lately, she's been aggravating me. She's acting out. When I criticized her new "look", she got mad and started yelling at me. I wasn't being mean. I think.
She's just--different.
And I don't feel in control.
Which I really, really hate.
The phone rang, startling me out of thought. I picked it up.
It was Mia.
"Lilly."
"What?"
"Lilly, I---"
"Whatever."
I didn't feel like talking. I was mad. I slammed the phone down and didn't answer her calls. She finally stopped calling around 10:30 PM
I don't know what's going to happen at school tomorrow. I can't let Mia know I'm ruffled, though. What am I going to do?? I guess I could hang out with Boris, but...it's not the same.
Oh, no. Here we go.
Please R&R!!
