A/N: Well, this is my first story etc. Hope you like it, it may seem a bit repetitive at the start but hopefully, later on it'll get better. It's set around the time Kenny sends her notes, only, this time she figures it out and asks Lilly for help. I actually have no idea what's going to happen later on, so if any of you have any ideas …
Anyway, please Read and Review, and no flames, they will only be used to heat up some baked beans. Constructive Criticism is welcome though.

Mia's POV:
Kenny. Kenny Showalter. Kenny my Bio Partner. Kenny the Japanese Anime obsessed guy from the Computer Club. The cards were from Kenny. Oh my god. What am I going to do??
It's unfair if I just tell him I don't like him. Isn't it? If I tell him I don't like him in that way, he'll get all heart broken and I can't do that to him because I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't know what to do!
Lilly.
"So you see Lilly, I just don't like him in that way!" I said, half crying. She just sat there staring at me for a while, chewing on a piece of popcorn. Then she gets this evil little grin on her face, like she knows something I don't.
"Hmm…"
"Hmm? Hmm what?" I said, getting pretty worried by this point. Lilly can be scary when she's plotting.
"Never you mind. Now, Star Wars ok for you?"
Damn Lilly for playing on my weaknesses.
"Um … yeah, uh, sure."
*^*^*^*
Michael's POV:
It's pretty quiet in Lilly's room. Almost too quiet. She's up to something. I know she is. Lilly doesn't go one single day without embarrassing me or annoying me. Poor Mia having to put up with her daily. I get a headache after 10 minutes with the devil's messenger.
Mia.
I wonder what she's doing now? Probably watching the Lifetime Movie Channel with Lilly, and looking all cute curled up on the sofa. She's just so perfect; I don't see what her grandma has against her. What country wouldn't want her as their princess?
Oh well, it's not like she'd ever be interested in me; her best friends' geeky older brother who has no life, a webzine and doesn't come out of his room for anything, except to tease Lilly and eat.
I really should get over her. Maybe if I play my guitar for a bit, it'll take my mind off her. Thank god my room is soundproofed, Lilly would throw a right hissy fit if she found out, seeing as everything I write is about Mia.
Mia.

Lilly's POV
Think of a plan. Mia needs help. Kenny is her secret admirer. Since when did she have a secret admirer? That girl tells me nothing! And I'm supposed to be her best friend. Oh well, I'll yell at her about that some other time.
Hmmm…
Mia needs someone to help her get rid of Kenny. But who?
Argh, I really can't concentrate with Michael banging his spoon into the bowl. Cutlery is supposed to be used for eating, not as a substitute for drum sticks. And that bowl, I swear he's going to break it if he keeps doing that. He really should learn some manners; drinking out of the carton, chewing on the fork and banging a rhythm out on everything in sight is NOT an example of good manners.
He is so annoying … Wait.
Michael.
Michael will help. I know he will. He loves Mia after all. Those two are so dense; seriously, imagine being in love with somebody and not realising they love you back. That's bad enough with one person, but ohhh no.
Anyway. Mia needs help. Michael is bound to help her once he finds out there is somebody else on this planet that loves her – Apart from fat Louie, her dad and her mom of course.
Details … Details. Hmm, I'll need Michaels' help on this. Actually, should I tell him Mia loves him back though? Maybe it'll help persuade him.
Nah.
He doesn't need persuading, he loves Mia, he'll do anything for her. Including helping her on her Algebra I've noticed. I don't see why she just doesn't come and ask me for help. I mean, I'm just as good as Michael, and I'd drill it into her more, instead of sitting there like a little lost puppy and staring at her when she thinks I'm not looking.
About that. What gives him the right to fall in love with my best friend? I mean come on; it's MY best friend. Why can't he just go out with Judith Gershner and leave her alone?
Although, that would actually break Mia's heart, and seeing as I AM her best friend, I can't do that to her. Sure I can yell at her until my face goes blue - which I have done on a number of occasions – and complain about her utter lack of assertiveness, but I can't break her heart.
Thinking Michael doesn't love her, and instead likes to date girls who get accepted into Columbia early decision and can clone fruit flies (why would you WANT to clone a fruit fly anyway?) will break her poor little heart clean in half. At least this way, she has a thread of hope to cling to.
Pity she can't see what's right in front of her face. It's true what they say. Love is blind.
Michael's no better. Hasn't he seen the way she practically stares at him non stop at lunch and in G&T? Not to mention the fact that when he walks around the apartment without a shirt on – a very annoying habit, but another piece of evidence that shows he loves her. He doesn't do that with any of my other friends. – She stares at him like he's the best thing on this earth.
Come to think of it, Judith does follow him around wherever he goes, and always laughs at his jokes … Well, I guess we'll see if Judith has a crush on Michael once we put this brilliant plan of mine into practice, won't we.
