Friday, September 10, 10 pm, the Loft
Oh. My. God. I. Can. Not. Believe. This.
When I reached the theater, J.P. was already waiting there. When he saw me, he was like, 'Mia, come on. You're late. It's already 7.50.' I replied, 'Oh, sorry J.P. Come on.'
So we went in and saw the show. As usual, I cried at the part when the beast turns back into the handsome prince. When I started sniffling, J.P. got kind of startled, and asked me if I needed Kleenex. But I knew I'd cry, so I had come stocked with both my pockets stuffed with Kleenex.
After the show, we went to Ray's Pizza for a pie and a Coke. I had a plain-cheese and Coke, and J.P. had a pepperoni pizza.
After ordering, J.P. and I grabbed a table and sat down. That's when I noticed that he was looking sort of bothered about something, so I asked him, 'J.P., you look like something's bothering you. What happened?' He just squirmed in his seat and stammered, 'Uh…nothing, M-Mia! W-what makes you think something's, uh, wrong?' I was like, 'Please, J.P. I can totally make out that something's troubling you. I thought you said we were friends. You tell me what the matter is.' 'Oh,' said J.P., looking crestfallen. 'Am I making it that obvious?' 'Yes.' 'Oh God…I don't know how to say this Mia…' 'Just tell me.' 'Oh, OK. But promise me you won't get pissed.' 'Yeah, I won't. Now tell me.' 'I…I have feelings for you, Mia.'
That's right. My best friend's ex-boyfriend has feelings for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In reply, I just went, 'WHAT?' 'Uh…please! Mia! You said you won't get angry!' J.P. looked panicky. 'J.P.!' I cried. 'I'm not angry. I'm just…I don't know what to say.' Then I added in a small voice, 'Is that why you broke up with Lilly?' 'I…' 'Yes, that's the reason, isn't it?' 'No, Mia. You don't understand! I…never had any feelings for Lilly. I just started liking you while I was still in a relationship with her, so it completely isn't your fault.' 'It is.' I could feel tears stinging my nose, but I controlled myself from crying. 'J.P.' I said in a breaking voice. 'Yeah?' he said, looking very scared, giving me some tissue from the tissue stand on the table. 'I hope you realize that this is a relationship that can't be.' J.P. looked startled. 'But…but why not Mia? We're both single, and I like you, and…' But I cut him off. 'Sorry J.P., but I still love Michael. You know that. I can't date someone else.' 'Oh.' 'Right.'
The pizza arrived. I slowly tore a piece from my pie. 'Sorry, J.P.,' I repeated. 'Sorry. But we can just be friends. And don't get me wrong – you're one of the best friends I have. Besides, I can't do this to Lilly. She is my best friend. And I don't want to lose you either, because –' But J.P. cut me off. 'OK, whatever. Let's just eat and get out of here.' I bit my lip. So we silently ate. After we were done, J.P. and I went out. Lars was waiting there, fidgeting with his gun, leaning up against the limo. Hans was inside, as usual. 'Hop in,' I said to J.P. 'I'll give you a ride.' 'I…uh…no thanks, Mia. My house isn't far from here. I'll walk.' I decided not to push it. 'Are you sure?' 'Yeah. Bye.' 'Bye. See you at school tomorrow.' 'Yeah.' He walked away. 'Any problem, Princess?' asked Lars. 'No,' I said, getting into the limo. In the limo, I cried.
Anyway, I have to go now, because Rocky is wailing, and as usual, Mom is too busy eating orange beef and watching old ET reruns with Mr. G to pay any attention. So at least something consoling has finally come my way – my baby brother who had stopped needing to be sung to, now needs it again.
Tuesday, September 14, 6.45 pm, the LoftI cannot believe my journal got lost!!!!!!!! I went crazy hunting for it since the past three days, and guess where I found it – Fat Louie's litter box. Seriously, now even my cat is against me.
Thank goodness Grandmère cancelled princess lessons for today – she said that she was very stressed out and so was Rommel (cue: Mia rolls her eyes), so she got a manicure, pedicure and massage, and got Rommel a trip to the doggy spa.
Things with Lilly aren't exactly rosy, she still doesn't say hi or anything. But yesterday, I e-mailed her this really cute "I'm Sorry" e-card. After that, even though she doesn't fully talk to me, she did ask me to get her a cup of custard at lunch the other day when I got up to get myself one. So I guess things are beginning to kind of look up. But she is totally giving poor J.P. the cold shoulder. Whenever he tries to say hi, she just turns away and starts talking to someone else. When he sat down next to her at lunch, she even got up and went to sit next to Ling Su and Perin.
Someone's IMing me. Let's see who it is. I hope a teeny-weeny bit that it's Michael!
Iluvromance: Hi Mia!!!!Oh. It's Tina.
FtLouie: Hi Tina. What happened?
Iluvromance: Nothing! Just checking to see how you're doing.
FtLouie: OK, I guess. I'm still shocked.
Iluvromance: Shocked? About what?
FtLouie: J.P. told me that…
Iluvromance: Yes…what did J.P. tell you?
FtLouie: You'll never believe this.
Iluvromance: What is it, Mia?
FtLouie: J.P. told me that he likes me.
Iluvromance: Yes, so? All friends like each other.
FtLouie: TINA! In THAT way!!
Iluvromance: OMG.
FtLouie: Yeah.
Iluvromance: What did you tell him??????????
FtLouie: I told him that I'm still in love with Michael.
Iluvromance: Oh. OK. I hope you broke it to him gently.
FtLouie: Well…I can't exactly say. But I don't think I really hurt his feelings. Although I did think he was sort of peeved.
Iluvromance: I think you should just act friendly as always with J.P. at school, Mia. That's the best thing to do with a person who confesses to you his feelings for you and gets turned down.
FtLouie: Um…OK. Thanks Tina.
Iluvromance: Anytime, Mia.
Hey, someone just came online. It says "WomynRule". HOOORRAAYY!! It's Lilly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Iluvromance: Hello?? You aren't replying…what happened?FtLouie: Tina, Lilly's come online. I'm going to IM her. Will you wait for two minutes?
Iluvromance: OK.
FtLouie: Hi Lilly
WomynRule: What do you want?
FtLouie: Oh, Lilly! Please don't give me the cold shoulder treatment again. I think I've already said sorry about ninety-six times!
WomynRule: Hmm. I guess another time should do it.
FtLouie: REEEEEEALLLYYY??? OMG!! I'M SO SO SO SO SORRY, LILLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WomynRule: OK. So, what's up?
Man, I CANNOT believe my luck…I can't believe Lilly's being so forgiving!
FtLouie: I have to tell you something.
WomynRule: What?
FtLouie: I can't believe this myself, but J.P. told me that he has feelings for me. I thought I should tell you.
WomynRule: Shut UP.
FtLouie: I am not kidding. But I told him that I still like your brother, and that I CANNOT date him.
WomynRule: YOU STILL WANT MY BROTHER???????????
FtLouie: Well, yeah. I realized that I kind of overreacted, and that it isn't as big a deal as I made it out to be. I really want to get back with him. I've e-mailed him, so I'm waiting for his reply.
WomynRule: OK.
FtLouie: You're not angry…?
WomynRule: It isn't your fault that J.P. fell for you. So let's just cool it. Forget about it.
FtLouie: Oh, Lilly! Thanks for being so understanding.
WomynRule: Welcome back, best friend.
FtLouie: Yay!!
WomynRule: So…what else's up?
FtLouie: Nothing…I've put Tina on hold…I'm IMing her too.
WomynRule: OK. Talk to her then. Because I actually only came online to Google something for my project.
FtLouie: You sure? You're not bugged at me?
WomynRule: Yeah, POG. I'm sure. I'll see you at school tomorrow.
FtLouie: OK. Bye.
WomynRule: Bye.
FtLouie: OK, Tina, you will not believe this
Iluvromance: What happened? Did Lilly forgive you???!!
FtLouie: YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
Iluvromance: WOWWW!!!!!!! That is soo cool!!
FtLouie: I know!!!!!!!Iluvromance: Um, Mia, I have to go.
FtLouie: Oh, OK. Bye. I'll see you later.
Iluvromance: Bye!
Yipppeeee!!!! Lilly and I are talking again!!!!!!!!! Wait a sec. I just received an IM. I think it's Michael!!!!! It says "SkinnerBx". It IS him!!!!!!
FtLouie: Hi Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SkinnerBx: Hi.
SkinnerBx: Mia, are you willing to talk things out with me? Please say yes.
FtLouie: Why do you think I sent you that email???? And I NEVER use exclamation points in conversations with people I'm peeved with.
SkinnerBx: Uh…all right then…I think I have the perfect solution for what happened that night at The Ritz Carlton: we should forget whatever happened.
FtLouie: Yeah. I guess that would be the best thing to do. I know I kind of overreacted. OK, WAY overreacted.
SkinnerBx: Ha-ha ;)…Are we OK, then?
FtLouie: Yes…I'm so glad we've solved this, Michael!
SkinnerBx: I'm glad, too.
FtLouie: OK. Good. So…how's your robotic surgical arm going? Good progress?
SkinnerBx: Mia, I'm not in Japan.
FtLouie?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
SkinnerBx: I never went. Late that night, my professor's colleague called to say that there had been a major fire in their lab, and all the equipment was destroyed in it. That stuff was all secret, and had been made by special engineers. They have no clue where the papers and blueprints of the stuff are, so they might never be able to reconstruct it at all. Even if they do manage to find the papers, they'll take at least 6 or 7 years to remake the equipment.
FtLouie: Oh. So you mean to say that your going to Japan is canceled?
SkinnerBx: Yeah.
FtLouie: OMG…you must be really bummed.
SkinnerBx: Um…I guess. In a way, yeah. But I looked at it the positive way – now I can be with you and everyone else, and I still have college to attend, and share my room with Doo Pak, and stuff. Even though I'll be over a week late going to college, I can still GO.
FtLouie: Oh. That's good. What are you doing tonight?
SkinnerBx: Nothing. I'm home. I'll be leaving for college the day after tomorrow.
FtLouie: Good. Should I come over?
SkinnerBx: Sure. We could go out for a pizza or something, or check out one of the pay-per-view movies.
FtLouie: Or we could just stay home.
SkinnerBx: All right. How much time will you be here in?
FtLouie: Um…I guess I'll be over in fifteen minutes.
SkinnerBx: OK. See you.
FtLouie: See you.
OMG!!!!!!!!! I HAVE TO CALL TINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm dialing Tina's cell now.
Wait a sec. She's picked up!!
OK…my conversation with Tina went something like this…
Me: 'Hello? Tina?'
Tina: 'Hi Mia!'
Me: 'You will never ever guess what!'
Tina: 'What?'
Me: 'Michael never went to Japan! He's still right here in New York!'
(While talking to Tina, I'm simultaneously putting on my coat)
Tina: 'Ohmigosh. You have got to be kidding.'
Me: 'No way! I spoke to him on IM, like, a second after you logged off, and he said that there was this big fire in their lab in Japan, and that they didn't have the papers and stuff of the special equipment, which was a sort of secret thing. So basically, chances are that that equipment will never be remade, and even if it is, it'll take years. And we spoke about everything and we're good, now!'
Tina: 'Wow. I guess today's your lucky day! Your peeved best friend forgave you, and you got back your boyfriend!'
Me: 'Talk about it! Anyway, I'm going over to Michael's right now, so I'll catch you later.'
Tina: 'Oh, wow! Tell me exactly what happens, OK?'
Me: 'Of course! Bye!'
Tina: 'Bye!'
Tuesday, September 14, 7.36 pm, Michael's bathroom
OK…I think this is the greatest day of my life, just like Tina said!!!! I got back my best friend and my boyfriend!!!
When I reached Michael's place, I rang the bell. Lilly opened it. 'Oh,' she said, looking at me for a minute. 'Hi, POG.' 'Hey,' I said. 'What's up?' 'Um,' said Lilly. 'Nothing. Working on that assignment which I had to Google for.' I stepped into the house and took off my coat. 'Oh,' I said. 'OK. Is Michael in his room?' 'Yeah,' said Lilly. Then she suddenly looked surprised. 'Wait a sec. I thought you dumped my brother.' 'Um,' I said, feeling a little uncomfortable. 'I guess we patched it up.' 'Whoa,' said Lilly. 'OK. He's in his room.'
So, after taking off my coat and hanging it up, I went to Michael's room. He was sitting on his computer, shirtless. I instantly blushed, as I always do at the extremely pleasurable sight of a shirtless Michael.
'Um,' I said. 'Hi, Michael.' 'Mia. Hi. Sit down. Sorry…I'll just, um, pull on a shirt.' 'Oh,' I said, quickly. 'That's OK.' 'Uh…' said Michael, switching off his computer. 'All right. So. What's new?' 'Nothing,' I said. We just sat in this awkward silence for about two minutes. Then I forced myself to ask him the question that had popped up in my mind, which was a difficult one, but had to be asked, nevertheless.
'Michael,' I said, in the most mature voice I could find. 'Are we still what we were?' Michael looked at me, a confused look on his handsome face. 'What do you mean?' Oh God. He was totally making this more difficult for me to ask. 'I mean…we're still…you know…a couple, right? I mean, all couples fight and dump each other at some point, but they still remain a couple, right?' 'Uh,' said Michael, getting up to shut the door. 'Yeah. I guess.' 'What do you mean, you guess?' I said, indignantly. 'Yes or no?' 'Yes!' said Michael, quickly. 'We're still a couple!' 'All right,' I said, getting up, too. Michael was still standing, looking like someone had punched him. I went up to him and hugged him. He was just bewildered for a second, then he hugged me back. I took a deep breath and inhaled the smell of his neck. Ohhhhh. Was that comforting or what.
OK, I have to go now; Michael's knocking on the bathroom door and asking if everything is all right. He should know by now that it is…don't I ALWAYS get stuck in the bathroom writing in my journal?
OK guys,
I hope I wrote this chapter well!!!! R&R!! The second chapter will be up soon.
