Friday, December 11th, In the limo

I had such a blast today ( well, before 3 pm anyways but that story will come later )! Everything was FINALLY back on course ( well, one thing at least) ! Lily's my best friend again! And G&T was... oh so memorable! How can I say this? One moment, deep breath. Michael kissed me! EEEEKKKK!!!!!!! Well, not willingly but, judge for yourself. While Shameeka and company were talking about the dance, Michael was tutoring me in algebra. Can you actually believe that Mr. Gianni left specific directions to the principal that my progress in algebra is to be closely monitored? Who knew you could do so much in between packing in preparation for your elope and actually boarding the plane for it? Oh well, that means more time with Michael at least! So he was explaining hypotenuse to me for the 5th time when I dropped my pencil in between our chairs. We both grabbed for it, and when we got up too fast, our lips brushed, unfortunately, accidentally. I don't care HOW our lips ended up touching each other! Point is, they did! Mmm, pure bliss. Whoa, back up. Is it just me or did I just sound like Lana talking? Wow, I must have been under a lot of stress lately for acting like a ditz. Oh well! I'm happy!!!!! Michael though, didn't seem overjoyed, he was actually really embarrassed, he flushed red and sat back down ramrod straight in his chair. He stuttered for the rest of the period and restrained from touching me again. Hey, I can't ask for too much right? At lunch, Michael sat with us since most of his computer club buddies were cutting school today in order to attend an anime convention on Roosevelt Island. Not that I minded of course, and he even end up sitting next to me! Am I lucky or what? Our conversation turned once again towards the dance:

Ling Su: Mia, you still don't have a date?

Me: Um, no.

LS: Hey, I showed your picture to my cousin and he said he wouldn't mind taking you.

* Cough cough *

Me: What?

LS: I have a date for you! You wanna go with him? He's quite hot you know.

Me: NO!!!

Whole table looks at me because of my sudden outburst of disdain. Except Michael. He was just staring at his plate looking like he was about to barf.

Me: I mean, that's really nice about you, but I'm not desperate enough to go out of a blind date.

LS: Suit yourself then.

Michael: So who wants to see Lord of the Rings?

Whole table looks at HIM because of HIS sudden outburst of excitement. What's with the sudden change of subject? He was looking sick one moment but radiating happiness the next. What's wrong with him?

After school, Grand-Mere picked me up via the limo:

- Good afternoon Grand-Mere.

- My my, your manners have drastically improved since Wednesday I see. But I'm afraid I will still have to punish you for you irresponsible behavior yesterday. I cannot believe that you could simply run off yesterday without a word of my consent! What were you thinking Mia?

- I realize now that I was totally immature and I won't do It ever again.

- I'm afraid that your word is just no quite enough.

- So....

- So you will need something to make this lesson stick in your head. You are to spend your spring vacation in Genovia as well. I didn't originally plan so but you've forced this upon yourself. But it all works out quite well, we will be able to have further lessons then.

- NOO!!! That is so not fair grandma! Just for spending the night at my best friend's house? I'm entitled to a private life too!

- Yes you are but you must always have to good of Genovia at heart. You cannot act so childishly and expect that nothing will happen. I will no longer discuss this topic with you.

What else could I say when she has dismissed me like that?

- So where are we going now?

- We are going to chez Givenchy. They had promised to have found an appropriate gown for your abnormal figure.

Who is she calling abnormal????

Countdown to the non-demonial winter dance:

9 Days.
