Thursday, December 10th, Lily's place.
Tears are falling out of my eyes as I write this. Pardon the soaked paper. At lunch today, I was trying for a whole hour to get Lily to talk to me. She just ignored all my attempts. What is wrong with her? What did I do to get her mad? It's not MY fault! Even if it was she should tell me so! I was just so fed up that I couldn't take it anymore. I caught up with her on the way to algebra and told her to meet me after school at Emerald Planet. We had to talk. Surprisingly, despite her hostility towards me, she accepted. So there we were, sipping our smoothies, but no one dared to talk so I took the plunge:
- Lily, there's something obviously wrong. What is it? Why won't you talk to me anymore? Why are you basically treating me like dirt?
- I'm sick of YOU Mia! You never have time for me anymore! Every single day after school you always have princess lessons. Every weekend, you have to have dinner with the governor or judge. I'm always there, consoling YOU when YOU have a problem! YOU are never there for me anymore! You don't have time anymore to listen to ME!
- Lily! You know I have the ball that's in two weeks. You know that one day the future of Genovia will be in MY irresponsible hands! I don't want to country to fall during my reign, I don't want people to starve on the streets because I'M a bad queen! I have to start learning now.
- I know all that, it's just that, sometimes I just want a friend Mia. I need someone to support me too.
- Of course I'm here for you! And I will ALWAYS be! I
promise you that after the ball, I will have much more time.
- I don't want to sound selfish and obnoxious, I'm just not sure if I'm still such a big part of your life anymore. I'm feeling kind of left out, that's all.
- You are my best friend Lily! You play a MAJOR role in my life! I know I make it seem like it's not so, but you are!
- I'm sorry, I just, I don't know.
- It's ok Lily, it's ok.
- Well, do you have time today?
- I'll make time.
After we finished the smoothies that we dug out from under our pile of tissues. I called grand-mere and told her I was going to stay at Lily's house tonight. She was none too happy. She kept nagging me that I didn't learn how to curtsy to a general or accept flowers and gifts from married men. Today, I just didn't care. Lars was super cool and didn't shove me by force all the way back to the Plaza. When we got to her place, we flipped through the albums filled with our pictures and cried again. Michael came out from his cave to tell us to shut up, but when he saw us, I brought a box of tissues and sat with us. Wow! What a day huh?
Count down to the non-demonial winter dance for which I still don't have a date:
10 days.
