Glow-in-the-dark stars

Wednesday October 22- Night



Whoa. That was and interesting afternoon. What am I talking about?! That was a great afternoon! One for the Yearbooks! Except maybe for...well, I'll get to that later.



I barely studied at all! All I could do was listen to Michael's voice. After awhile I must have gotten this glazed look, because, he waved his hand in front of my face. How humiliating! He didn't seem to mind, though. He just looked amused, and told me we ought to take a break, so he played his guitar for me! I really love his music. He has all these great songs about a boy in love. Tina would definitely listen to them! I really should have paid more attention to the math, but how can you expect anyone to pay attention when such a cool guy is trying to teach you? I mean, really. He did have a shirt, but it was this awesome tank, so I wasn't too disappointed.

After about another half an hour of me not listening we decided to put the math away and just listen to the thunder. I've always liked thunder, and when was there ever a better chance to be alone with Michael Moscovitz?! It was totally amazing! We just flopped on his bed and talked for awhile. I don't think Lilly cared, because I thought she was working on her super secret episode of "Lilly tells it like it is". Silly me.



Me: I wonder what Lilly's doing for her super-secret episode. Has she told you anything?



Michael: Only that it's super-secret and that I have to be there for the taping.



Me: (looking confused)All she's told me is that she's doing an interview with me, and there's a special guest...who's secret, too. You know who?



Michael: Wish I did. She wouldn't tell me. She didn't even tell me about the interview or the special guest. (I could swear that he said this almost teasingly-) Maybe it's me.



Yeah, right, like Lilly's special guest would be her brother! Why would she bring him on her show? It's not like SHE thinks he's special or anything.



Me: Hmm...(staring at Michael's glow in the dark astronomy stickers- he has them arranged like the night sky was when he was born- how he figured that out, I'll never know.) Maybe she wants you to talk about how bad I am at Algebra.



Michael: (laughing) You aren't that bad! And I don't think that Lilly will humiliate you like that. I wouldn't, that's for sure.



How sweet! I can't believe it! I was so happy, I didn't notice Lilly in Michael's doorway until after she got a picture. Yes, picture. Of Michael and me. Talking and looking up at the ceiling, flopped on his bed, being goofy! Gah! Why on Earth did she do that? I mean, why did she have to get a picture of us being all googly and stuff?! All I know is that Michael jumped up real fast and chased Lilly down the hall, while I just sat there sorta dazed. Then I realized what just happened and split down the hall after Lilly and Michael. Good Gravy! What in Heaven's name was this about? When I finally caught up to them, Lilly was trying to keep the camera away from Michael!



Michael: (slightly peeved) Hand it over, Lilly!



Lilly: Never! It was just too perfect!



Michael: (blushing-he blushes?) What was?!



Me: Uh, Lilly, why do you want a picture of your brother and me? (I must have blushed, too)



Lilly: (grinning evilly) I need it for "Lilly tells it like it is".



Me: So Michael is the special guest!



Michael: I knew it!



Lilly: (looking disappointed) You weren't supposed to find that out.



Me: Aha! We've spoiled your fun, so now you don't need that picture! (lunging for it)



Lilly: Au Contraire!!! (runs off laughing)



Michael and I just sort of stared at her retreating back, looked at each other, and shrugged. Once Lilly has an evil insane plan, she just doesn't give up. After that, we went back to Michael's room and tried to forget Lilly's evil insane plan, but it wasn't working. We kept speculating, but I couldn't come up with anything, unless she found out I like her brother...that would be disastrous, but we've already been through that. And of course I didn't tell Michael that! He would have kicked me out of his room!!! Michael couldn't come up with anything, either, so I decided home was a good idea, and he decided that Crackhead needed polishing, so reluctantly, I got Lars. Michael handed Lars a note, and we left. Sometimes I wonder what Michael and Lars talk about... I think they are secret best friends or something... oh well...



I hope Lilly doesn't go too insane on me. I hope she doesn't embarrass Michael, but to tell you a secret, I don't think there's anything that could embarrass Michael. Oh well, I guess we'll find out, won't we?



Things to Do:

Stop worrying about Lilly's insane plan.

Study for Algebra.

Not take lack of Princess Lessons for granted.

Stop thinking about Michael.

Achieve Self-actualization.

Actually stop worrying about Lilly's show.

Get picture of Michael and me back from Lilly.
