A/N: I'm so sorry I haven't added anything to it so far. I was on vacation all week long and didn't have internet access. Sorry. Please review!

Also, I'm sorry if you think my chapters are too short, but (no offense) too bad for you. I'm doing my best, but I do have a life outside of this.



Chapter 2

Tuesday, November 4

Josh broke up with Lana again today. I saw her crying at lunch and in algebra she crossed off his name on all her binders. I almost feel bad for her, but this is the girl who has made my life miserable for the past years. Besides, they'll probably just get back together again tomorrow.

Kenny is getting unbelievably annoying. He walks with me to my locker, walks with me to every class, and keeps pestering me, wondering if I'm all right. "Are you okay Mia? Are you comfortable? Are you thirsty or hunger? Is there enough light for you? Is there too much light?" God, I wish he'd stop! Michael would be considerate, but he wouldn't be like that! I don't think Kenny has a life other than me, which makes it even harder to find a way to break up with him. I'm not a fragile porcelain doll! I can't believe Kenny hasn't tried to switch into all my classes with me yet. Or maybe he has tried. Better not mention it anyways, don't want to give him any ideas.

Lilly, meanwhile, is psyched I have a boyfriend. Now she wants to go on double dates! Spending a whole afternoon or evening with Boris AND Kenny is not my idea of a good time. How I wish to be going out with Michael. It's stupid to keep thinking about him, though. I mean, he's a senior. Next year he's going to college! I'm going to be a sophomore next year. A college freshman would never want to date a high school sophomore, just like a high school senior would never want to date a high school freshman. There's no hope for Michael and I, none at all. I must stop obsessing with him! He's all I can think about anymore! Pretty soon I'm going to become an obsessed stalker! I don't want that. I have to just forget about him.



Wednesday, November 5

Well Tina knows. Hey, I kept the secret for years. It's a relief that someone finally knows. Better Tina then Lilly or Kenny or Michael, though I'd rather them know than someone like Lana. Tina came over right afterschool just to hang out and possibly go ice skating. Even though it's not cold enough for any ponds or anything to be frozen, they do have many inside ones. Anyways, today I realized that I had a date with Kenny later (I told him I had a headache and had to cancel. He insisted he had to come over to care for me, but I told him that's what mothers are for) and remarked something sarcastic like "Oh goody." Tina looked at me oddly and started bugging me.

T: You don't sound very happy.

Me: Of course I'm happy. I have a boyfriend.

T: Then why did you sound so... unhappy when you remembered Kenny and your date?

Me: Because...

Oh what was the use?

Me: He annoys me endlessly!!! He pesters me all the time, he tries to kiss me and hold hands when I don't want to (which would be always), and I don't want to go out with him!

Tina stared at me, surprised at my outburst.

T: Then why are you going out with him?

Me: Because it was the polite thing to do. If only I was going out with...

I suddenly cut myself short. Tina was suspicious.

T: Who?

Me: Michael.

I suddenly just blurted it out. I swear, I have no control whatsoever of my mouth. My mouth just won't listen to my mind.

T: Michael...

Me: As in Lilly's brother.

T: Ooooohhh... Have you told either of them?

Me: Are you kidding? Lilly would freak and possibly not ever talk to me again, and I don't know how Michael feels about me! Yes I do, he thinks of me as his dorky kid sister's best friend. Nothing more. Possibly less.

T: I wouldn't think so, judging by how he stares at you all the time and helps you with your algebra even though he doesn't have to.

He stares at me? Probably wondering how such a freak like me hasn't been put in the zoo or circus yet.

Me: It's just a friendly gesture. We're... sorta friends.

T: Fine, believe what you want...

We sat there for a few minutes. I couldn't believe I had told her. Suddenly I began to freak out. What if she told someone? What if she told Lilly or Michael???

Me: Promise you won't tell anyone???

T: Of course not! But I bet we can figure out if he likes you or not...

Me: HOW???

T: Send him a note and put it in his locker!

Me: No, that's way too... Kenny-like (though when I got those notes from Jo-C-rox I did hope it was Michael and thought it was unbelievably sweet...). Besides, he knows my e-mail address!

T: So? I said put a note in his locker.

Me: How would he respond to me?

T: I have a locker relatively near his. I can see if he looks happy or not.

Me: That still won't help to see if he likes me.

T: See if he mentions it in G&T or acts oddly around you.

Tina was definitely the right friend to tell! She had already worked out a plan on how to get us together!

Me: Ok, I guess.

Instead of going skating we spent the rest of the afternoon trying to figure out what to say in the note. This is what we finally agreed on.

Dear Michael,

I think you are the greatest guy on earth. You're sweet, funny, nice, and extremely special to me. I wish I could work up the nerve to tell you this in person, but I'm way too shy. I just thought you should know how much I care about you.

Love,

Me

I couldn't decide what to sign it with. I didn't want to say you're secret admirer because it'd be corny, but I didn't want to say sincerely or yours truly because it seemed way too formal. I finally settled on Me.

I typed out the letter (didn't want him to recognize my handwriting and besides, I wanted him to understand it!) and put it in my backpack. Hopefully I'll finally figure out what Michael thinks of me!

A/N: I know this is starting to seem like the spoilers for Princess In Love, but it isn't going to turn out that way. Keep reviewing!!!
