Author's Note:

Mia's Diary

Tina just keeps on insisting that the note from Michael is not a joke. Here's our conversation.

Me: What do you mean its not a joke?

Tina: It's not, I swear.

Me: How in the world could you know?

Tina hesitated before she spoke again.

Tina: Um...it's my intuition. I just have a good feeling about this. Trust me, Mia.

Me: I don't know, It's a pretty unbelievable thing. Yeah right, Michael likes me? I don't think so Tina. He just thinks of me as his little sister's best friend, which practically makes us family, so of course he doesn't like me and--

I was interrupted by a knocking on the door.

Me: Who in the world would knock on the bathroom door, a public bathroom door?

Tina: It's probably just Lars, and he can't exactly stroll right in here, can he?

Me: Yeah, you're right. I'm just not thinking straight right now.

Tina: I know, you've got OTHER things on your mind right now....

Ha, Ha, Tina very funny.

Tina: It's just Lars, like I told you. He's just being a good bodyguard and making sure you're all right.

Then I heard some whispering. I stood on the toilet seat and peaked over the stalls and saw Lars and Tina quietly talking about something. And then as if I wasn't embarrassed enough, I slipped and my right foot went into the toilet. Great, now I'm embarrassed and soaked with toilet water. I'm never coming out.

Michael's Diary (on-line)

So like I said Lars came over to the booth and told me to come with him. He said that we (Lars, Tina, and I) were going to try to fix things between me and Mia. I hope it works.

LATER THAT DAY

At first, I was a little hesitant to go over there. She just had this hurt look in her eyes when she saw my note to her on the screen. Then she just turned and ran away. I was going to go after her, but decided against it because I figured I was the last person she would want to talk to.

I walked over to the ladies restroom with Lars and waited by the door for a couple minutes. A few girls walked out then Tina peeked her head out and motioned for me to come in.

Me: (whispering so that Mia couldn't hear me) Are you crazy? This is a girl's restroom. I can't come in there.

Tina: (also whispering) Don't worry about it Michael. There are no other girls in here besides me and Mia. Lars is going to stand outside the door and tell everyone that the bathroom is out of order, so that you two can talk.

Me: (whispered again) Okay, but if I get into trouble, I'm blaming you...
