Thursday, December 17th, On the way to school, M13


When Lily woke up this morning, she found me and Michael feeding and throwing Cheerios at each other so we couldn't hide our little secret anymore:

- I knew something was up with you guys.

- Well, you realized it before we did.

Hey, she's taking it better than I though she would. I pictured her:

a) Falling unconscious

b) Crying and asking me how could I have done all this to her

c) Expressing rabid anger and including me in an all-out cat fight.

Well, I admit, maybe the last one was a bit far-fetched for her character.

- So can you tell us what happened yesterday Mia?

I still didn't feel like answering Lily's question, but I felt obligated to since they weir feeding me and giving me a roof over my head after all:

- My grandma engaged me to Prince William.

- WHAT?????

That would be Michael's voice.

- How did that happen?

- She just said, "Mia, you are engaged". Then I ran away. I'm so confused! I don't know what to do anymore! I can't marry him!

- Of course you can't!

Another one of Michael's comments.

- That's basically the whole story. Listen, can we finish this after school?

They let the subject drop but I could still see confusion on their faces. Well, Michael looked more angry than confused though.
